Any suggestions? I have removed and reinstalled twice for the same result. edit: Running 6.4.1 That means you can't hit our server for some reason. SSH to your server or use the new terminal feature in v6.4.1 and run ping -c5 mirror.linuxserver.io And post the results. Link to comment

Stealth1081 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hello all Looking to upgrade my unraid tomorrow to 6.4. Tried scouring through the post for upgrade instructions but didn't see any. Is there anything special i need to do first. Like revert to the original 6.3.5, do the upgrade then install unraid dvb version. Also i see the TBS official in no longer supported. TBS open source or crazy cat versions didn't work for me in 6.3 as it loaded the wrong drivers Is there a way to force the TBS open source build select the correct drivers if i run into problems. Thanks Link to comment

max007 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Hello all, I am trying to get working TBS5990 tuner with unraid dvb edition using version TBS (CrazyCat) DVB-S(2) & DVB-T(2) and using docker tvheadend by linuxserver.io. Tuner gets successfully detected and is usable with SD channels and HD channels on QPSK. However, it does not work with 8PSK. Very similar issue was resolved here: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/7177-tbs-drivers-libreelec-8/?pageNo=1 and here: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/issues/59. I get exactly the same results as the user described over there on libreelec forum. My question is following: How do I use USB Bulk transfer mode instead of ISO? In LibreElec, they used this: echo "options cx231xx transfer_mode=0" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/cx231xx.conf and reboot Where can I create file in unraid so it works properly? I tried in /lib/modprobe.d or /etc/modprobe.d but it is lost on reboot. Also tried to put it into dockers /etc/modprobe.d but did not help... Thanks a lot for any help! Edit: Solved! Problem has gone away after updating to Unraid DVB 6.4.1 and TBS (Open Source) & LibreELEC ATSC-C, DVB-C, DVB-S(2) & DVB-T(2) Edited February 22, 2018 by max007 Link to comment

Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Thank you. I have further tried a different use cases and found out that: Works fully: 1 stream: HTSP Kodi streaming from Q-Box S2 Fails almost instantly: 2 streams: HTSP Kodi streaming from TBS 5990 PASS VLC streaming from Q-Box S2 1 stream: HTSP Kodi streaming from TBS 5990 Fails after about 15-20 minutes: 2 streams: HTSP Kodi streaming from Q-Box S2 PASS VLC streaming from TBS 5990 1 stream: PASS VLC streaming from TBS 5990 So I think that the issue is HTSP in combination with TBS 5990. AFAIK kodi can only use HTSP to stream from tvheadend or is it possible to switch it to pass only? Resolved: Issue was with timeshift setting in tvheadend - after setting it to RAM only, I can get stable 2 streams from 2 different tuners Edited February 22, 2018 by max007 got new data from research, updated test cases Link to comment
s.Oliver Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) @CHBMB i've a TBS 6209 (Octa)-Tuner card in my system now, and all seems to work as expected. but: this card has an active cooling fan, which is annoying (loud to my ears). i'll probably return the card and struggle what to do next. so i could: scenario 1: buy another TBS-6205 (waste one more PCIe slot, which could backfire later) and interconnect card 1 OUT to card 2 IN – at least so i don´t need to use a splitter beforehand. question 1: because of two times (same) PCIe cards, will they both get pass'ed through (--device=/dev/dvb/) and seen correctly from TVH? is it then adapter 5-8 for the 2nd card or will there be another number scheme? scenario 2: buy one Digital Devices DD Max A8 TV card (also octa-tuner dvb-c) but has passiv cooling (so no waste of a PCI slot and quiet). question 2: how about the device driver support from digital devices? i can't recall exactly, but didn't they have problems? or would we expect any problems with drivers and/or TVHeadend? thx.

I have two TBS 6205, both are seen by TVHE just fine, but in mine the new card went in at 1-4 and moved the old card to 5-8 - depends on the order the system sees the slot I think.

No bother for you. yah, i simply use only one dvb-broadcasting standard; doesn't add value here to use dvb-t, if you got dvb-c already. well, i'm waiting for @CHBMB to chime in to decide if digital device's 8 tuner card is an option. would make lots of things easier, even though, they charge a bit of an extra over TBS cards.
