descrambler: ECM late (8 seconds) for service ***

  • Hi,


    I wonder if anyone can advise me.


    I have a 0960 card in an Omnikey with the following os/software:


    Debian 8 Jessie - 3.16.0-4-amd64
    TVHeadend 4.0.9-13~g64fec81~jessie
    OSCam r11273 1.20-unstable_svn


    In the server I have the following hardware:
    TBS 6909 Octo core tuner
    TBS 6205 Quad DVB-T tuner
    Omnikey 3121 USB Cardreader


    I am successfully transcoding streams using FFMPEG, however I am finding that once I get to 30 or more concurrent streams the ECM's start to randomly spike in OSCAM, causing timeouts.


    None of the DVB-T streams drop, as obviously no CWC sharing is required.


    What I am seeing in TVH is:

    And on and on and on.


    So the problem must be either:


    With the card actually being maxed out?
    With the card reader being limited? Should I try a more powerful reader?


    Or...


    Something in my config?!


    Any help will be really appreciated!


    Thanks
