<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I have been successfully using the dvbsrc element with many
different dvb usb receivers, however if the DVB card Silicon Labs
Si2168 is used, GStreamer throws the following debug messages:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><font size="-1"><font size="-1">WARN </font>dvbsrc
gstdvbsrc.c:2096:gst_dvbsrc_output_frontend_stats:<dvbsrc>
Failed to get statistics from the device: Unknown error 524 <i>(this
error is printed repeteadly until the default timeout of 10s
finishes)</i><br>

</blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, we need to work under the 1.6.x version of
Gstreamer (I know this is a very old version of Gst and the use of
more recent versions is encouraged). I have used other DVB cards
such as the DiBcom 7000PC with exactly the same code and it works
perfectly. Besides, both cards work fine in VLC or Kaffeine
(Ubuntu 14.04).</p>
<p>Does anyone have any clue on what may be happening? If updating
gstreamer solves it, is it safe to compile and update 1.6 version
of gstreamer with only including the latest version of the dvbsrc
element?</p>
<p>Many thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Dani<br>
