Tvheadend plugin for unRAID V5.0

[Mettbrot]

Do all of you have to kill tvheadend in order to stop the array? If I don't kill it unraid always says "Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)..." (I run tvheadend from the cache disk) I thought I never had this problem before... 

 

 

@leeism: If you have audio on the channels its probably the right port

@Mack

 

May I kindly ask you which kernel options (by their title) are you enabling to enable media tree? I am also trying to compile my own, but I cannot enable the dvb drivers (while actually I was the one who put up the original how to compile guide to the wiki). I can't figure out the changes.

Olympia I use menuconfig.  Enable Realtek and audio.  Then go into multimedia support and enable things until you get the module you need under usb or pci...  I enable almost everything so my build should work for whatever you need.

 

I'm really just using the scripts that botez posted.

[olympia]

The script doesn't include the modifications via menuconfig...

 

I don't need everything what is included in your build and also I have my own stuff to include, this is the reason why I want to compile my own.

 

So what do you mean by enable audio? Do you mean ALSA?

[piotrasd]

yeep ALSA - PCI must be enabled

Hi All

 

Not to sure if I am running the correct firmware for my Hauppage HVR-2200, is anyone able to tell me if I am?

 

I am running this on a HP Microserver N36L. Seem to be having issue with choppy and laggy live tv, xbmc keeps on reporting that it is has lost connection to the TVheadend server. I am just about on the verge of buying a tuner dongle to stick in the Raspberry pi instead of using this.

 

 

ran a dmesg:

leeism,

 

Do shows play without issue from the tvheadend webserver using vlc?

 

Can you install xbmc on your desktop/laptop and see if it works fine there?

[leeism]

thanks Mack

 

I had a play around with this again and it seems the issue is apparent on my iphone and ipad also.

 

After about 10 minutes it all freezes and stops working altogether. What is the best wa to debug this? Has anyone seen this before?

[Mettbrot]

You can take the problems to www.tvheadend.org and their bug tracker. If your hardware is properly recognized and your signal is well then it might be something they should know about ;-)

Note: this method (as of 2012/03/02) will only give NTSC for analog TV, the driver does not have PAL support. You can at this point patch your code with the patch here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/26212/focus=26524. A bit of fiddling is needed to apply the patch in the newer kernels, but I have it working with 3.2.1. Apply the patch to the linux subdirectory of the git archive (after calling ./build.sh), and then call ./build again (or just make). --- patch for 3.2.1-gentoo kernel: https://github.com/reinhrst/nl.claude.tools/tree/2594dd91cb81a3c905a53b9168f52a42e317cd1f/misc

 

Note: (as of 2012/11/27) Revision 2 of this card will fail to initialize correctly with a dmesg error similar to the below: Full details are available here

Thanks Piotrasd

 

That sounds bad. Can anyone give me a step by step on how to do this? Or am I better off buying a different tuner card?

 

 

[mack]

I would suggest deleting the plg and using spylex's instructions: https://github.com/spylex/tvheadend_unraid

 

I can confirm that my build(thanks botez) of unraid has the correct module saa7164.  Feel free to try it.

 

I'm sure piotrasd's build has this module also.

It seems like you forgot to include firmware files

usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9015

usb 1-4: dvb_usb_v2: Did not find the firmware file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw'. Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on firmware-problems. Status -2

I actually never had luck getting a build with hdhomerun to work :-(

 

I don't know if one can just enable firmware files together with the drivers, or if it is necessary to manually add the files?? The latest firmware for the AF9015 seems to be here

(I run tvheadend from the cache disk) I thought I never had this problem before... 

 

 

@leeism: If you have audio on the channels its probably the right port 

 

I have to do this each and everytime for some unknown reason, I killall tvheadend then it unmounts.

 

Need a solution as well.

I would guess this has to do with permissions.  Others probably know better than me.

 

Mettbrot,

 

I sure did forget firmwares.  I'll repost when I'm able to add them.

[mack]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvtu6evx6bcj2al/unraid-16c-hdhomerun%2B.zip

 

Please test and let me know if the added firmware files work...

 

A side note:

 

I've rebooted my unraid server a couple times in the last couple days and tvheadend hasn't hung stopping the server once...  Try the latest build of tvheadend that piotrasd posted and see if that fixes your issues.

Hello Mack,

 

thank you. For it is working.

 

But i have a few problems with my configuration. Perhaps can anybody help me.

I have 2 DVB-C Cards. One PCI-card from technotrend and one USB-Stick form sundtek.

 

1. the PCI-Card is recognized and working so far. But XBMC becomes no input. The first time it was working. the second moment no more. tvheadend telle me, that he is switching, but xbmc tells me no input detected.

 

2. the sundtek stick is not recoginzed. Only if i use the install script from http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,1121.0.html. after reboot the stick is gone. how can i manage to recognize him permanent?

 

3. if the stick ist recognized, i go to tvheadend and try to do a search. i add dvb network by location and wait until Muxes awaiting initial scan: go to 0. But it is always stopping by the last 1 an will never come to an end.

 

Are you able to help me?

 

Best regards,

 

Peter

1.  You should probably ask about this at https://tvheadend.org/

 

2.  I would try adding the script to your go script before tvheadend is installed.

[cableboy]

Hello,

 

in the meantime i sold my DVB-Cards and buyed an HDhomerun-tuner. This is beginning to work :-)

 

Is the VDR Project more developed?

I too am considering buying a TBS MOI DVB-S2 network device, it has TVHeadend included

 

Cancel that, it doesn't do HD well..

[Mettbrot]

would someone mind compiling a plain mediatree version of 5.0 with firmwares. Now that it has finally arrived :-))

[CHBMB]

Yep, that would be great, spent a while trying to compile it myself a few RCs ago but never managed with any success.

The scripts posted a while back work a treat for me! Ill post when I recompile but I'm waiting it to be 100% compatible with the new WebGui and my plugin packages before I upgrade!

Yeah I tried those and it worked to an extent, just couldn't seem to get the drivers for my card into the image. (TBS DVB-T2 Quad Tuner)

Compiling a kernel is easy pops. Here are some instructions that might help you...

 

You'll need to download this .tar file (courtesy of ddeeds) and put it on your cache drive. Bear in mind if you choose another location you'll need amend the commands accordingly.

 

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B396mkxPBhWrQmRoSjU3UFhyT00&export=download

 

The hardest part is the make menuconfig part, just press ' / ' for search and look for TBS or whatever... Easy.
