For the log, I'll try it tomorrow.

For the "chat", during the week, I can chat after 18h30, it's not easy for you. And you don't work the week-end, I suppose.

[Sundtek]

That's no problem just enter the chat write your message and we'll pick it up even during off-hours.

Hello,

Good news : I have an operational system - without the remote.

New configuration :
* 3 A / 5V power supply
* MediaPro III directly connected to the Raspberry
* Wifi dongle for Rii keyboard
* External hard drive with power supply
* Ethernet connexion
* Osmc version of November 2015
* Tvheadend
* without and with overcloking in "Turbo" mode defined in Osmc
* cpu working in "performance" mode

Evaluation after 48 hours and some records scheduled :
* even the problematic HD channel is accessible without freeze
* I can change of channel without freeze
* the update of EPG data is done

To be complete, I must test the later configuration : Openelec + VDR but with the 3 A power supply. I suppose that there is two possible origins : a faulty power supply or a bug in VDR or it's configuration.

I'll come back later to give the results of this tests.

Thanks for the support and the different advices.
I've updated the Raspberrypi.org forum.

Now, if I want finish my multimedia center, It would be perfect to have the remote command to control it
I reactive my other thread.

In my case there is some success with TV remote control(CEC support on Pi)

[Sundtek]

If you have any issue with our remote control just let us know.

Hello,

I have two problem after some hours : the system freeze or VDR (VNSI) say "no data" and it is impossible to access at a channel.

The configuration :
- Raspberry 2;
- Power 5 V / 2A;
- the MerdiaPro III is connected to a powered Hub USB;
- SD cards "SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card 64 GB (Up to 48 MB/S)"
- Openelec 6.0.0;
- VDR backend + VDR frontend (VDSI) "Priority -1" "Demander le différé 1" , IP by default not modified 127.0.0.1;
- MediaPro configured for DVB-T with "Enable hardware PID = ON", "Enable IR Receiver = ON", "Enable suspend/resume the driver = ON";
- the last version of the Sundtek driver is used : manual update via the GUI;
- some plugins in the "Video" section;


I have a freeze of the image after some hours or it's impossible to obtain a channel.

The details now.

Problem 1 :
After some hours, 5 hours in the last case, and with a HD channel (ARTE HD) selected, the image an the sound are stopped. The image is static on the screen. Impossible to stop or change the channel. The reboot is the only solution.

Problem 2 :
Some records are scheduled by the "Guide" menu in the night and are correctly done. But in the morning, it's impossible to see a channel. The VDR frontend (VDSI) report "No data" for each channel. The reboot is the only solution.

I don't know if it's related to your hardware or software, I could post in the Openelec forum if your are not concern. I hope that you can help me.

Edit : With Overclock Turob or Pi2 or no overclock, I notice that the CPU frequency could by 100 MHz or 900 Mhz, but sometimes the frequency is 600 MHz and return to 900 or 100 MHz. The temperature is between 42 °C or 50 °C - Pi2 mode without dissipators. I can't say why.
I've try to use the "performance" option (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=128872&p=872235#p872235) : "echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" for each CPU, but the default "ondemand" value is set at the boot time.

If I can give you some other usefull informations, ask them please.

Best regards.

The problem anymore present. Some weeks I've tested the VDR configuration, it was freezing the morning, but become operational few minutes after. This week all is operational. Since the first time, there was many software updates. For me, it's not a hardware problem, only a software problem.

Thanks.

[Sundtek]

We have now also tested the Tuners with the RPI 3 over some period and did not see any issue.

The latest software updates do not address your device.

You can check the changelog:
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&depth=1&hl=de&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,1573.msg11636.html&usg=ALkJrhiS3-RqZTPaK0wvI0isFziFh8Qlmw#msg11636

Please note that the driver package supports all our devices since 2008, support of the current devices is mature.
If the problem is a software issue on your side it must be something else running in the background.
Recently a customer contacted us who had tvheadend and VDR running at the same time while he said everything worked for around one year until he updated his system -- this does not work. Only one application should access a device at a time.
/opt/bin/mediaclient --lc shows up which applications are accessing the tuner.

Most likely I guess the CPU goes into low power mode on your side and that this might cause issues (unless you fix it to a certain speed). The second possibility might be a poor power supply.

Any problem on our side with the raspberry PI is highly unlikely.

[Want2Play]

Hi, sorry if my explanation wasn't clear, there is a confusion.

The software update is an OpenElec's update, NOT a Sundtek's update. There is NO trouble with your software

My last issue to take enough time to make working de remote command, but it's an other story ;-)

I've desactived the CEC support because when I stop the TV, the Raspberry stop too.

[Sundtek]

If you need help with the native tuner remote control just let me know.

[Want2Play]

Yes with pleasure.

I use OSMC whith KODI on my Raspberry Pi2. Some functions are available with the native remote, like the cursors touch, the volume +/- when I watch a record, but not the "OK"/Return.

I'd like to have a full integration of the remote for all Kodi's features.

I've tested your advice on this subject (http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,2014.0.html) without success, prabably because I havent' acquired enough knowledge on this subject.

I'll appreciate very much your help.

Maybe in an other thread, because this thread is, in my opion, finished. This thread "Raspberry PI2 + Openelec 6.0 + MediaPro III + VDR + Remote command"(http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,2014.0.html) can be used or a new thread could be open. As you want
