Only thing I can suggest is, try CrazyCat and see if that's any better/working? How is your card detected in v6.6.6? As a Silicon Labs Si2168 & Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 04)? Only other thing I can think of is try a fresh setup of TVHeadend and see if that improves anything, also what version of TVH? I've found 4.2 to be the most reliable. Hi CHBMB I will keep 6.6.6 for now....it's working fine and i don't mind waiting a bit for 6.7.1 Tried CrazyCat build, no luck (but i'm not sure if it's supposed to work with dvb-c) With 6.6.6, card is detected exact like 6.7.0, I'm running tvheadend version 4.3-1789, but never have any problem with it. Anyways, thanks for the reply!! 1 Link to comment

psycmos Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi @CHBMB i have this tunner: Astrometa DVB-T2 USB( MN88473 /Realtek RTL2832P - 2014 revision ) DVB-C/T You think is possible to add this fix for libreelec DVB drivers release ? DVB patch for tunner. r820t.patch (365 Bytes) I think that release have this fix too.

psycmos Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi CHBMB You think there are any possibility to include this? I think this patch can solve the issue in DVB-C frequencies.

ba10s118 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi, I have a DVBSky s960 S2 tuner, how would I go on adding this to TVheadend? I've added the extra parameter "--device=/dev/dvb" Without any success. It's like I'm not able to see the device in TVHeadend? Lsusb shows the following: Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0572:6831 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. DVBSky S960 DVB-S2 tuner Link to comment

Just tried Unraid DVB, installed LibraELEC 6.7.0 and Unraid 6.7.0, and rebooted. However when rebooted, it does not seems like it's installed? Update ! Figured it out. Turned out that I missunderstod how you could install driver + OS. I thought I had to chose ect 6.7.0 driver and same OS. Turned out I only installed new OS this way each time, and never the drivers Edited June 9, 2019 by ba10s118 Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 TEST BUILDS FOR NVIDIA/DVB COMBINED People have asked if I'll produce a combined Nvidia/DVB build. Here's the thing, I have no intention of producing separate and combined builds, the workload is just too much for something I have no need of. It would need 8 builds on top of the Nvidia build to do so. I will however produce a combined build, depending on two conditions. 1. People don't mind an increased download size. 2. It works reliably. However I no longer have any DVB hardware so I can't test. So I've produced some combination builds for people to try out. I am only doing this for v6.7.1rc2, so if nobody tests each build then it's not going to happen. So if you want it, YOU need to test it. HOW TO USE 1. Download the Nvidia build of v6.7.1rc2 (Important - Do not use any other version) 2. Once the build has downloaded and the window indicating the copying to flash has happened and before you reboot, download one of the attached zip files depending on which DVB build you use, unpack it and copy across the bzmodules and bzfirmware files to your flash disk. 3. Reboot I know that the Nvidia Plugin will not report the correct version number, that's an easy fix in the future if this works. Once you've rebooted I need to know two things for each build. 1. Does the Nvidia hardware encoding work with Plex/Emby/Jellyfin? 2. Does the DVB hardware work? libreelec-nvidia-v6.7.1rc2.ziptbs-os-nvidia-v6.7.1rc2.ziptbs-crazycat-nvidia-v6.7.1rc2.zipdd-nvidia-v6.7.1rc2.zip 3 Link to comment
Jimmy90 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Dear CHBMB, LibreElec_v6.7.1rc2 is failing to locate /dev/dvb/ on reboot. We had the same issue with 6.7.0rc8 a while back and you fixed it by recompiling if i recall correctly. Thanks again for you kind support "in the blind" Link to comment

Thanks again for you kind support "in the blind" @Jimmy Nowhere near enough info for me to go on. Are we talking about generic DVB build here or the Nvidia/DVB build above? Post a screenshot of your working install. /dev/dvb/ is just your DVB card, same for everyone, but without knowing what your card is, I'm in the dark. Link to comment
Jimmy90 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) It's the Generic build for LIbreElec6.7.1rc2 1) LibreElec6.71rc1 is working fine per first screenshot 2) Installing rc2 per second screenshot 3) Docker failing per third-fourth screenshot Edited June 12, 2019 by Jimmy90 Link to comment

The second shows it downloaded fine, which isn't the issue, and Plex logs offer nothing as if there's a problem with the DVB drivers, I wouldn't expect Plex LiveTV to work. The pertinent information is all on the DVB plugin screen. So just to confirm, can you post a screenshot of rc2. Also, again, what is your DVB card? Link to comment
Jimmy90 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 DVB is Hauppauge-955Q (USB). Here's the DVB plugin screen for rc2 : Link to comment

RawrSpace Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) How do I confirm that hardware encoding is working? Using the DVB/Nvidia Hybrid Edited June 13, 2019 by RawrSpace Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 @RawrSpace Look at the unraid nvidia thread. Full instructions there. Link to comment
RawrSpace Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Went through the process outlined three times for Nvidia/DVB with the same results. Doesn't seem to be detecting the card here but does show it in system devices. If I install 6.7.1rc2 without adding DVB then it does detect my card and I can see the UUID.

dstanley Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I have tried using the 6.7.1rc2 versions of LibreElec and Digital Devices but neither of these will recognize my USB based Hauppauge HD-PVR’s within the SageTV Docker. Reverting back to 6.7.1rc1 version and they are all showing up again. Seems to me this happened before and a complete rebuild fixed the issue!? Not too sure though as most of this is WAY over my head ... Dwight Link to comment
Jimmy90 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 LibreELEC v6.7.1 working fine now with Hauppauge USB (rc2 wasn't). Thank you CHBMB! 1 Link to comment
Mike Rando Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sorry if this has been asked, but I can't find an answer. How long should I expect "updating available builds" popup to remain after install? It's been like 30 minutes. I just uninstalled, re-installed, and rebooted. Link to comment
