May 21, 201511 yr Try the docker, would eliminate dependency problems with the new Unraid and Mettbrot's plugin. I tried the Docker but it won't detect my TV tuners I've got an idea on how to make this process easier. Give me a day or so to test and speak to saarg. I got the tuner working with the --device options. Everything is working in the docker *except* the EPG. That Web++ thing is a dog's breakfast of poorly written instructions lol

Yeah the TVHEADEND stuff is fine - the EPG via Web++ is confusing as hell...
May 21, 201511 yr Thanks to gfjardim (for the script) and CHBMB (for posting how he got to where he was) I have a working HVR-2250 version. For anyone that wants it...(v6.0, RC3, HVR-2250) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2WZKRTYU6TWUo5NlZUNmdnaDg/view?usp=sharing Mind telling me how you got your drivers added in. Got stuck on that bit! As I mentioned earlier, in Ubuntu I needed to have NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw in /lib/firmware. So to make this work for unRAID, when the script pauses to ask if it should compress bzroot, I copied the necessary firmware (NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw) into /path/to/mybuildfolder/bzroot/lib/firmware and then I said Y to make bzroot. No modules or compiling required. Edit: Maybe try a different method (such as http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-Tuner.html) of compiling the driver while running that script.

Or shoot me and put me out of my misery!
May 23, 201511 yr Author i will look later into your script which you use and tell you what you done wrong most part i just do it manual, without script
May 23, 201511 yr i will look later into your script which you use and tell you what you done wrong most part i just do it manual, without script I'd be so grateful, it's become an obsession!

May 23, 201511 yr unRAID 6rc3 (Kernel 4.0.4 - media) bzroot - CrazyCat - latest TBS drivers (https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/linux-tbs-drivers/overview) https://www.sendspace.com/file/mzkygs What's the difference between the CrazyCat driver version and the official one from the TBS site, the install process looks the same?
May 24, 201511 yr Author CrazyCat contain more dvb drivers than official TBS - this is pack of driver (few mixed) TBS, DVBSky, Geniatech, SkyStar etc.
May 24, 201511 yr CrazyCat contain more dvb drivers than official TBS - this is pack of driver (few mixed) TBS, DVBSky, Geniatech, SkyStar etc. I'll try compiling with CrazyCat then, see if it makes a difference. Still trying lol
May 24, 201511 yr CrazyCat use official TBS drivers from they so no diffrence Oh, well in that case I'll have to wait for you to tell me
May 25, 201511 yr Heya, piotrsad! Is there any reason why the tvheadend plugin doesn't show a version? It get 0.0.0.0 when I think it's 4.1.x.x or something.
May 25, 201511 yr Heya, piotrsad! Is there any reason why the tvheadend plugin doesn't show a version? It get 0.0.0.0 when I think it's 4.1.x.x or something. I think they changed the format of plugins at some point and it may not have been updated to comply with the new system.
May 25, 201511 yr Oh you mean TVHeadEnd version not plugin version don't you? No idea in that case. Yeah, in the TVHeadEnd itself
May 25, 201511 yr Just to let anyone who was curious, I finally managed to compile the kernel with TBS drivers. I'd got the process almost right, but a couple of small errrors in one or two places was holding me back. A big thank you (in no particular order) to piotrasd for compiling all the drivers for me since v5! gfjardim for his amazing script, DMcK who gave me a few directions to get me closer and saarg who sent me a lovely detailed PM that got me to my final destination! I'm so happy I think I might cry!

May 29, 201511 yr I have not followed the discussion around here, just wanted to chime in and give my 2 cents on the development of tvheadend in unraid (as I was asked to ): I still think tvheadend is the best TV backend. The way I see it compiling a custom kernel version is not the ultimate solution. With virtualization on the horizon I believe it is more feasable to setup an ubuntu VM once and move it along as you change versions of unraid. Automatic updates of tvheadend are nice too. I have done this in my setup, it is quite comfortable. The other way of avoiding the somewhat ugly plugins is docker; but as you still need a custom kernel for this it seems not an optimal solution as well. For anyone interested, the most recent versions of my plugin (if someone is still using it) are: For unraid 5: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17326625/tvheadend-0.7.plg For unraid 6: tvheadend-2.2.64bit.plg Via dynamix plugin system: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mettbrot/unRAID/master/tvheadend.plg You are free to use those from my perspective, as I did only adaptions and the work is originally from W-W. The compiled packages are curtesy of piotrasd I still think the best way to get all this info out to the people is the Wiki, I had it updated once but it lacks the latest and greatest info. Also the info on compiling (which is outdated, too) should not be in the tvheadend article but in a seperate one. Sorry, but I have no time for this at the moment I wish you guys all the best for your setups

Also the info on compiling (which is outdated, too) should not be in the tvheadend article but in a seperate one. Sorry, but I have no time for this at the moment I wish you guys all the best for your setups I'm waiting for gfjardim to return from his jollies to ask if he minds me using his script as a basis, I did briefly look at how to edit the wiki but I wasn't too sure how to go about it - I'll have a closer look sometime. You are right about the compiling stuff cluttering the thread and that's my fault so I do apologise to yourself and the community, I never really envisaged having so much difficulty with the task, so sorry everyone.
June 3, 201511 yr PLEASE SEE NEW THREAD HERE 19/06/15 - All links should be working, although I can't think of a good reason not to use V6.0.0?! I've put together a MediaBuild for the default kernel drivers with the Openelec Patch and another with TBS drivers from CrazyCat, as always download and rename to bzimage & bzroot and replace your old versions on the flash disk. I've collected all the various version of the MediaBuild around at the moment and decided to put them in one post here. I have uploaded piotrasd's builds as well, as I know sometimes his links die, so it's good to have a backup. Below Releases Deprecated - Use V6.0.0 Unless You Have A Good Reason To Use A Previous Release Unraid RC6a MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers with Openelec Patch to include more drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - CrazyCat TBS Drivers bzimage bzroot Unraid RC6 MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers with Openelec Patch to include more drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - CrazyCat TBS Drivers bzimage bzroot Unraid RC5 MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers with Openelec Patch to include more drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - CrazyCat TBS Drivers bzimage bzroot Unraid RC4 MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers - Probably Not Required, Drivers Included in Openelec Build bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers with Openelec Patch to include more drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - CrazyCat TBS Drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - DVBSky Firmware - Probably Not Required, Drivers Included in Openelec Build bzimage bzroot Unraid RC3 MediaBuild - Kernel Drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - Official TBS Drivers bzimage bzroot MediaBuild - Piotrasd - Kernel Drivers with Openelec Patch to include more drivers bzroot MediaBuild - Piotrasd - Crazy Cat TBS Drivers bzroot MediaBuild - Piotrasd - OpenSource TBS Drivers bzroot Note: piotrasd's MediaBuilds only require replacement of bzroot.
June 3, 201511 yr CHBMB: You are great! Let me know if the default media build for RC4 works as I can't test it myself as I only have a TBS card.
