si2168/dvbsky - blind-scan for DVB-T2 with PLP fails

Hello.

I think I came across a bug in either of the drivers si2168 and dvbsky regarding blind-scanning DVB-T2-frequencies.

HW: Technotrend CT2-4400v2 (afaik based on or the same as DVBSky T330)

    demod: Si2168-B40
    tuner: Si2158-A20

OS: Ubuntu 15.04 (kernel 3.19)

In Austria, the DVB-T2-service "SimpliTV" is currently airing up to four muxes, next to one or two DVB-T-muxes.
In my region, the frequencies are 490MHz, 546MHz, 690MHz, 714MHz for DVB-T2, and 498MHz for DVB-T.
These numbers might be of interest when reading the logs.

The peculiar aspect of these T2-muxes is that they're aired on PLP 1 without there being a PLP 0. I think this is also the root of my problem.

When doing a blind-scan using w_scan 20140727 on Ubuntu 15.04 (kernel 3.19), w_scan does not find any of these four DVB-T2-muxes.
It just finds the DVB-T-mux.

media-tree_w_scan.txt http://pastebin.com/yyG3jSwj

The found transponder:
initial_v3_media_build_trunk.conf http://pastebin.com/LmFQavpy
initial_v5.conf http://pastebin.com/Jx6kymVt

I also tried a fresh checkout from git.linuxtv.org as of last weekend and the most recent w_scan version (20141122).

As you can see, w_scan tries to tune(?) the DVB-T2-frequencies, but ultimately doesn't find anything on them.

Then I tried the DVBSky-linux-driver[1] (media_build-bst-20150322.tar.gz)[2] from their site, which is using a binary called sit2 for this card. Using this driver, w_scan found all four DVB-T2-muxes and the DVB-T-mux. Additionally, it found the DVB-T2-muxes during the DVB-T-scan.

Logs:
media_build-bst_dmesg_lsusb.txt http://pastebin.com/vJeDMxtu
media_build-bst_w_scan.txt http://pastebin.com/yhwAYjen

Found transponders:
initial_v3_bst.conf http://pastebin.com/ECKQvRWX
initial_v5_bst.conf http://pastebin.com/CbhY6Hpz

Of course, doing a channel-scan using dvbv5-scan on these transponders worked too:

dvbv5_sit2.conf http://pastebin.com/3W52bbhv
dvbv5_sit2.log http://pastebin.com/nc66PTkt

Afterwards, I tried to do a channel-scan with the same initial tuning-file using the opensource-driver, which also worked:

dvbv5_si2168.conf http://pastebin.com/A6FbqUL1
dvbv5_si2168.log http://pastebin.com/ewyVPJR2

This should verify that tuning PLP 1 without there being PLP 0 is not the issue.

Additionally, if you compare the two channel-lists, you find interesting differences:

The scan with si2168 has AUTO for "MODULATION" and "INVERSION" for DVB-T2-channels, and for "CODE_RATE_LP" and "INVERSION" for DVB-T-channels.

The scan with sit2 has the respective values in the channel-list.

The dvbv5-scan-logs also differ, as using sit2 also displays the signal quality during tuning.

I know that there were changes regarding DVB-T2-scanning[3], but as the blog- article specifically mentions si2168 and w_scan to be fully dvbv5-compliant and good for using with DVB-T2, I thought you should know about this particular problem.

In the attachment I've packed the previously linked logs, for archival reasons.

Thank you for your attention.

dvbv5-scan is working, but w_scan not?

Could you hack si2168.c file and test?

if (c->delivery_system == SYS_DVBT2) {
	/* select PLP */
	cmd.args[0] = 0x52;
	cmd.args[1] = c->stream_id & 0xff;
//	cmd.args[2] = c->stream_id == NO_STREAM_ID_FILTER ? 0 : 1;
	cmd.args[2] = 0;
	cmd.wlen = 3;
	cmd.rlen = 1;
	ret = si2168_cmd_execute(client, &cmd);
	if (ret)
		goto err;
}

The scan only finds one of the four transponders (714MHz), but it doesn't end up in the tuning-file. The other three are tuned, but not locked.

How can I enable debug-output to get the log-messages like http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/si2168.c#n164 ?

Compile kernel with dynamic debugs. After that you could enable debugs:
modprobe si2168; echo -n 'module si2168 =pft' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

Even easier way to activate dynamic debugging at module load time (assuming your kernel has dynamic debugging enabled):

modprobe si2168 dyndbg==pmf

Thanks, this worked.
The kernel of Ubuntu 15.04 already was compiled with dynamic debug, which saved me a lot of time.
The driver is properly setting stream_id to 1 when needed.

I tried again with the vanilla source and "cmd.args[2] = 0;". With the vanilla source, it doesn't find any T2-transponders.

With the modified source, the number of found transponders changes every time I'm scanning.
I did four runs: twice it found one mux, once it found two and once it found three, but never all four.
I even tried with w_scan-options for longer tuner- and demux-timeouts.

Without changing the position of the antenna or the stick, after reinstalling the dvbsky-driver, it found all four T2-muxes on the first try.

You mean with vanilla source, but without that "cmd.args[2] = 0;" hack it does not find any transponders?

You mean with source, modified with that "cmd.args[2] = 0;" hack it finds transponders, but not always?

If that is difference, then it sounds just like application is requesting some PLP, probably 0, and it will not work as your network delivers channels using PLP 1.

"cmd.args[2] = 0;" disables PLP filtering - it sets auto mode. Why it likely does not find all channels is too short timeout.

Increase timeout value to 3 second, 900 => 3000, in funtion si2168_get_tune_settings()

You didn't provide any debugs to see what PLP ID your application is requesting. It is the most important thing I would like to know, as I suspect it is wrong.

(Resending as the first try apparently hasn't made it onto the mailing-list)

No T2-transponders, no.
With "cmd.args[2] = 0;" the number of found T2-transponders is changing with every scan. Using the dvbsky-driver, the scan always finds all four T2-transponders.

No difference, even with 10000. Tried that timeout with "cmd.args[2] = 0;" and "cmd.args[2] = c->stream_id == NO_STREAM_ID_FILTER ? 0 : 1;"

Debug-logs:

Made with the vanilla tree and "cmd.args[2] = 0;", and timeout 900 (default) and 3000msec.
