"No Signal" instead of jumping back to home screen after 20 seconds? - wedok - 2018-05-09
I'm using v3.4.5.2 with coreelec on a s905x box.
When i select a "dead" channel it hangs for about 20 seconds and then it jumps back to the home screen.
In theese 20 seconds i can do nothing. i can't switch to a working channel, etc.
No idea but, isn't it possible to detect a dead channel or channel with extreme low signal quality and then disconnect immediately and show a "no signal" message?

Since the PVR is a client you are asking in the wrong forum. But I assume the answer is No.

yeah, the recording service monitors the dvb stream and when it detects no or bad frames it replaces them with good ones which have a "no signal" message picture in it.
*dream*

By the way one thing I thought about is adding a PVR specific timeout setting. This is possible in Leia. Right now the only way to change the timeout is modifying the global curl timeout. With this you can at least shorten the time.

I've added support for custom livetv timeout in v3.4.7: https://github.com/manuelm/pvr.dvbviewer/commit/f9298c3cb5e6f14efc06bdf54465de55e8e50519
Please give it a try. Not sure if it will actually work though :-)

hi,
i tried it with coreelec and pvr.dvbviewer-3.4.9.2.zip and set the value to "1 sec" but it still needs 20 seconds.

You might try to define curlclienttimeout in advancedsettings.xml: https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#network
Looking at CurlFile.cpp in Kodi this also sets CURLOPT_TIMEOUT whereas the PVR only can change CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT.
