May 25, 201313 yr I have been to the linuxtv wiki, and I know it should work, but it doesn't. I have tried 4 different media tree builds. And the commit that I linked to (also from linuxtv.org) they talk about something that was forgotten when they added the driver to the media tree, so that it doesn't load automatically. This patch adds a module-device-table-entry to the technisat-usb2-driver which will help udev to on-demand load the driver. This was obviously forgotten during initial commit.
May 25, 201313 yr if is problem with init, maybe try find correct module - and use modprobe example: modprobe dvb-usb-technisat-usb2 im found this module in my build so, should work
May 25, 201313 yr Okay, some progress today... I can now load into the tvheadend gui after reboot, I have set array to auto start which I didnt have before. Now the last and most important hurdle... in Configuration > DVB Inputs I cant see the hdhomerun detected. I am almost certain Reginalds bz files are not configured correctly, I dont think they are loading and trying to find my hdhomerun on the network. Wish he would chime in and help since he created the files... Im very very close now. Or does anyone else have an image 5.012a with HDHOMERUN drivers? Almost there... thanks for the help so far guys... You guys have almost got me over the line
May 25, 201313 yr if is problem with init, maybe try find correct module - and use modprobe example: modprobe dvb-usb-technisat-usb2 im found this module in my build so, should work This made all the difference! Thank you! I just put that same line in the go script so it starts up before tvheadend. #KidCastro: Maybe you have been experiencing the same problem as me? Try putting modprobe dvb_hdhomerun above tvheadend in the go script.
May 25, 201313 yr piotrasd: VDR has been running great now for 2 weeks, rc12a TBS (tbs6985). With right font/letters and swedish epg. I have only one small problem left, the liveplugin doesnt show time in 24h only 12h with no way to see if its am or pm. From what i have found out i need to edit the sv_SE.po file and recompile the live plugin. Do you have the same problem with the live plugin? /hansh
May 25, 201313 yr Alright, Ive made some progress as well. I can log into the name:9981 however similar to kidcastro I still do not have a drop down in the adapters. One other question I have. In the HDHomerun config utility that runs in windows what should I select for the main application? I currently have XBMC Media Center selected. Heres my setup HDHomerun I copied the bzroot and bzimage from here into my boot folder since this has the hdhomerun drivers https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4kNIzzMco6geEdWOVUtajRtNmM/edit?pli=1 an lsmod shows the drivers loaded root@NASty:~# lsmod Module Size Used by dvb_hdhomerun 9198 0 dvb_core 66190 1 dvb_hdhomerun dvb_hdhomerun_fe 4642 1 dvb_hdhomerun dvb_hdhomerun_core 1720 2 dvb_hdhomerun,dvb_hdhomerun_fe md_mod 46614 4 xor 11590 1 md_mod I followed the steps from here: https://github.com/spylex/tvheadend_unraid Place the downloaded .txz in your /boot/extra directory, then 'installpkg $FILE'. This will get installed on every boot. Telnet/SSH into your server. Create a 'DATADIR', for example '/mnt/cache/Services/TVH' and give 'nobody' full permissions (chown -R nobody:users $DATADIR). Run the following command to create an admin user: echo "{ \"username\": \"admin\", \"password\": \"admin\" }" > $DATADIR/superuser Run the following command to start TVHeadend: sudo -u root tvheadend -c $DATADIR -u root -g video -f 2>&1 >/dev/null Go to http://$SERVERIP:9981 and login with admin/admin or whatever credentials you chose above. heres my go file #!/bin/bash^M # Start the Management Utility^M /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &^M cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c /boot/config/plugins/snap/snap.sh -b /boot/unmenu/uu modprobe dvb_hdhomerun #TVHeadend Install installpkg /boot/extras/curl-7.19.2-i486-1.tgz installpkg /boot/extras/tvheadend-20130524-i686-1PTr.txz sleep 10 && sudo -u root tvheadend -c /mnt/user/apps/tvheadend -u nobody -g video -f 2>&1 >/dev/null So i did notice that the tuner light on the HDHomerun comes on for about 10-20 seconds then goes off on regular intervals.
May 25, 201313 yr I've updated again, thanks for the feedback guys. I see some of you are working already because of it. I had it on github because they supported files but now that they don't i'll put up my own mirror piotrasd looking forward to a proper VDR plugin, haven't been adventurous enough to try it standalone. One of the things I like about TVH is that it supports newcamd and my provider has the newcamd protocol so no need to have oscam at all!
May 25, 201313 yr One of the things I like about TVH is that it supports newcamd and my provider has the newcamd protocol so no need to have oscam at all! Newcamd is to old one provider = 1 port (line) other bad things i tvheadend you cannot manage good priority of CAID like in oscam, choose method of loadbalance, request mode etc.
May 26, 201313 yr By any chance is there a log that would help in troubleshooting my problem? Also is there a command that shows unraid sees my HDhomerun properly similar to the ubuntu command that shows the serial number of the HDHomerun, i.e. hdhomerun_config discover

Also is there a command that shows unraid sees my HDhomerun properly similar to the ubuntu command that shows the serial number of the HDHomerun, i.e. hdhomerun_config discover Would love to know this as well, I dont think there is... but im at exactly the same stage as you man. Theres one missing link... not sure where? tvheadend loads perfectly, just doesnt find hdhomerun.
May 26, 201313 yr I think someone was asking about grabbing epg's so I'll post how I set mine up. go file: cp /boot/boot/extra/tv_find_grabbers /usr/bin/ cp /boot/boot/extra/tv_grab_file /usr/bin/ chmod +x /usr/bin/tv_find_grabbers tv_grab_file and tv_find_grabbers attached, please remove the .txt Modify line 7 of tv_grab_file with the location of your xml file. I believe schedules direct can create a .xml file formatted correctly for this. In tvheadend under configuration > channel/epg > epg grabber Internal Grabber select tv_grag_file I hope this is helpful to someone. tv_grab_file.txt tv_find_grabbers.txt
May 26, 201313 yr Since Im trying to get this running for my xbmc openelec build I figured Id try to enable it on my openelec front end. So i enabled the client and server through the openelec settings. went to openelecip:9981 and i see the adapters and can scan the muxes. I guess my point being my HDHomerun is properly configured for a network scan. I can even watch tv through the bundled hdhomerun tv app.

I guess my point being my HDHomerun is properly configured for a network scan. I can even watch tv through the bundled hdhomerun tv app. Man, me toooo... I've got it setup on tvheadend on my openelec HTPC, that was simple. So like you said, the actual device is configured correctly since tvheadend on openelec sees 2 tuners. It would of been awesome to run it off unraid but I think I am going to give up now. Sorry man but I've spent over 24 real time hours on this problem spread over a week and my wife thinks I'm going crazy. I've restarted my unraid PC over 100 x times hoping for tvheadend to find my HDHOMERUN. I appreciate all the help guys I have to say this is the first time I've been this stumped. Thanks
May 26, 201313 yr @hans VDR has been running great now for 2 weeks, rc12a TBS (tbs6985). With right font/letters and swedish epg.

From what i have found out i need to edit the sv_SE.po file and recompile the live plugin. Do you have the same problem with the live plugin? no but i think you can use exports, maybe then will be work im just use this export LANG=pl_PL export LC_COLLATE=pl_PL export LC_ALL=pl_PL export VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE=ISO-8859-2 in sh script for start - VDR - and then even live plugin i have PL
May 26, 201313 yr piotrasd, are there plans to add a VDR plugin to unraid? Nevermind i found it earlier in this thread...looking forward to when vdr is available in unraid.
May 26, 201313 yr @piotrasd I use these exports export LANG=sv_SE export LC_COLLATE=sv_SE export LC_ALL=sv_SE export VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE=ISO-8859-1 and everything is working great except for the timeformat. I found out that its a known bug (Bug #1318) the timeformat is dependent on the translationfile, which in my case is very incomplete. I have to edit the timeformat in the sv_SE.po file and recompile the plugin. Thanks for all your help, hopefully i´m just a recompile away from a perfect unraid/vdr setup. /hansh

Newcamd is to old one provider = 1 port (line) other bad things i tvheadend you cannot manage good priority of CAID like in oscam, choose method of loadbalance, request mode etc. That's a fair point, but i only have one subscription and it usually just works. It seems a little complex running OSCAM in unRAID..
May 27, 201313 yr piotrasd, are there plans to add a VDR plugin to unraid? Nevermind i found it earlier in this thread...looking forward to when vdr is available in unraid. Hows the progress man? got it working yet
May 27, 201313 yr Hows the progress man? got it working yet I think Ill hold off and wait till vdr is released. Similar to you Ive monkee'd off and on with tvheadend with varying results. I never got the adapters recognized through unraid Ill keep my fingers crossed for vdr.

May 28, 201313 yr I think someone was asking about grabbing epg's so I'll post how I set mine up. ...snip... I hope this is helpful to someone. I might give it a try when I get a chance. I've left a couple of tuners in, but I haven't messed with it. recently. I think I'm waiting on something easier.
May 28, 201313 yr Isnt VDR already available for unraid? theres a screenshot just above. Ive read earlier in the thread that piotrasd was working on it but it seems like hes still testing it, with positive results none the less. I believe piotrasd was working with someone else on getting an official plugin released.
May 28, 201313 yr Yeah I believe Piotr is working on it, TVHeadEnd works for me but one or two issues so keen to try the VDR plugin once it's available. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
May 29, 201313 yr Hi Guys, VDR working and is ready (but for now only in packages) So we must put all packages of VDR to /boot/extra and will be installed after reboot Second step is manual setup config and run (i can prepare some GUIDE or @Spylex maybe help with release second one on github) (WW try making easy for configure and install plugin - i think is ready some beta maybe even RC, but for sure some people still will have some problems, some stuff are only to configure in config files, WW try get most important things on web) Anyway i must say one thing - VDR is developed from 13 years !!! and really stable working, im use with 3x DVB-S2 + DVB-T - sometimes use all 4 tuner at time without any even small issue. Some Cable providers use engine of VDR or STB like Reelboox. So maybe on start will be difficult setup all to working but i think worth.
