Multi-Mode problems

[hammer]

Is Multi-mode dependent on another package being installed? I do not get the 3 colums illustrated but only the first "convert to padding" and then a reduced schedule of channels with no HD channels present. I get the same display whether or not I enable padding in the box menu. Thanks for any assistance.

Web interface version: 1.0.15-5 (Lighttpd)
Custom firmware version: 3.00 (build 2137)
Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_CFW_3.00)​

You have the multimode package installed? It should load any dependencies automatically.

The dependencies for mulimode are :-

Depends: webif (>= 0.12.0), rsvsync (>= 1.0.3)

But I doubt that this is your problem

I'm also now only getting the first column, on 2 active HDR-FOX T2s. A screenshot is attached.

I set a few new recordings and rebooted and it was still active for BBC radio which was what I installed it originally for.
I then uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed but it is still only showing me the first column.

Web interface version: 1.0.16-1
Custom firmware version: 2.22 (build 1905)
Humax Version: 1.03.12 (kernel HDR_1.03.12)
rsvsync: 1.0.3
Recent activity: Use of renumber for all non PSB TV channels. Some manual retuning but not PSB1 which includes BBC radio.
( The other HDR-FOX which is behaving the same is a 1.02.20 and has similar details apart from CF is 2.21 (build 1897).)

Has anybody any ideas or can confirm that their installation of multimode is still showing 3 columns and state which CF you are using?

At the weekend I'll check my other 1.02.20 which is set-up almost identically to the one not working but has not got renumber installed. (It got put back in its cardboard box yesterday to make room for a different PVR.)
I'll also try CF 3.0 on the 1.03.12 to see if that makes a difference.

Mine's still showing three columns. Can you look into the webif-error.log file via diagnostics and see if there's an error shown there?

What are you using to view it?
I find these displays (ChannelDelete is another) never display properly Using Chrome on my Android tablet, so I always manage them on the PC (using Chrome )
Most of the other stuff like the schedule is fine on both.

Thanks for this suggestion. I had already tried that as I normally use 3 different browsers and although none are Chrome one of the is Chromium-based.

>>> Contents of /var/log/webif-error.log 264 bytes
Runtime Error: /mod/webif/plugin/multimode/settings.jim:81:
can't read "channels(19)": no such element in array in procedure 'chanlist'
called at file "/mod/webif/plugin/multimode/settings.jim", line 110 at file "/mod/webif/plugin/multimode/settings.jim", line 81

Thanks for that, it has possibly saved me quite a bit of further time. Now fixed by undoing the renumbering of channels that I'd changed that were also changed via the multimode package.

I had to change them back one at a time as renumber stops at the first inconstancy it finds and so only logs one at a time. Fortunately for me it was just Yesterday and Drama which were in both of my multimode and renumber lists.

One thing I had not cottoned on to before was that a restart wipes clean the webif-error.log and that it need to be checked before the HDR-FOX goes into standby. Is it designed to do that?

 

[MikeSh]

In doing the retune today I removed Renumber as it had lost most of the renumbers anyway. I now have this problem with multimode being broken on both boxes.
I've tried uninstall, reboot, reinstall and also run fix-flash-packages, but it's still stuck with the same error (just a different channel no.) to that in Luke's post above.

There's no way for me to go back and un-renumber at this stage, so ... HELP

Delete /var/lib/humaxtv/mm.db and /var/lib/humaxtv/reorder.db and see where that gets you. Retuning again will put everything back to standard if need be.

 

[MikeSh]

Thanks prpr, that worked without needing to retune or do anything else. (Took me a lot longer to remember/figure out telnetting - a lot of googling was involved - than to run the commands on the two boxes.)

A worthwhile learning/remembering exercise then

Yessish. By the time I need to use it again I'll have forgotten - again!
