Firewire deals badly with STBs that ignore power command

Description (last modified by danielk)

Seems my DCT 6200 does not respond to the power commands.

This patch hard-codes a non-response to an Invalid command. This probably isn't the right fix, but it makes my recordings work.

Possible fix, this retries only once instead of forever on failed STB power queries.

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

(In [13424]) Fixes #3360. Fixes how we deal with STBs that ignore the power commands completely (i.e. don't send back an unknown command packet).

We used to assume that if we timed out this was a temporary failure and we would keep trying until it succeeded. Now we only try twice, if it fails both times we treat this as if we had gotten an unimplemented command return from the STB.

Tested by David Frascone and Jim Westfall.
