December 7, 20169 yr V6.3 RC6 LibreELEC, TBS (OpenSource), Digital Devices Github builds just uploading.
December 14, 20169 yr After many, many issues in getting my garage connected, I've finally moved my unRAID server and connected it to a DVB-C source. Now, I've previously used my TBS DVB-C cards to stream channels from this provider, so I know the settings well. My setup is unRAID 6.2.4 with TBS Open Source drivers. On scanning the DVB-C source, I was receiving no information back from TVHeadend, whether it's run as a plugin or as a Docker instance. I was tearing my hair out. I reverted to a Windows 10 machine, running NextPVR on the same card, same settings - and it worked, pulling down several hundred channels. As a last resort, I reverted to the TBS Official DVB-C drivers and retried. Success. Same amount of channels have been retrieved. So, there's some kind of bug in the open source drivers for the TBS 6285 card in DVB-C mode. I've not had a chance to test it against DVB-T yet. I'm now running unRAID 6.2.4 with the TBS Official drivers for over 24 hours it's solid, but it's not a continuing solution for me, as I will also be putting some DVB-S signals in there and I'm not sure if the DVB-C drivers will work with the DVB-S. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to implement the Open Source drivers and have them work with a DVB-C source and also with a DVB-S and DVB-T, I'd be most grateful.

December 19, 20169 yr First things first, thank you very much for setting this up, it's been a godsend moving from my standalone tvheadend on ubuntu to my Unraid server. I have 2 DVB devices, a TBS DVB-S2 PCI card and a USB PCTV DBV-T2 stick. I remember it being an absolute pain getting the 2 working on ubuntu and I can't remember how I did it. I'm currently using the opensourcce TBS one in 6.2.4 and the PCI card is working but not the PCTV - is there a driver set that might give me both? Failing that, I guess a combined T2 & S2 card might be my next solution

Dumb question - I presume I need to move the main unraid to RC6 too, rather than just change it in DVB settings?

Yeah, the whole way this works is that I produce replacement OS files for Unraid with DVB stuff in it.
December 27, 20169 yr So, master plan is to buy a second TBS card for DVB-T2, I'm assuming that'll work fine with my existing TBS S2 card? Only complication is a lack of pcie slots, so I'm going to use a pci -> pcie adapter, fingers crossed, has anyone got any experience with these adapters or is there a USB or PCI (not express) T2 card that'll work alongside my existing card?
December 28, 20169 yr No experience (didn't even know they existed) with adapters. Not sure if TBS has any USB adapters. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
December 28, 20169 yr I have experience with sundtek and technotrend ( they both work with debian and tvheadend in a VM !! )

I guess it depends on how many tuners you want and if the PCI slot can handle the bandwidth. It might be better to go for a USB adapter. TBS have only one T2 tuner.
December 29, 20169 yr I went for the easy option, HDHomeRun - all up and running. I figured if I had any issues I could play with Adding it to Plex anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 2, 20179 yr I apologize if a solution has been found to my question, I've seen similar questions but not a solution that works. I have recently decided to move away from my MythTV dedicated box and use UnRaid so I can get better utilization out of my server (I'm putting this on my barely used gaming machine). In doing so I also decided to upgrade to one WinTV-quadHD https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-quadHD_(DVB-T/T2/C) tuner from Hauppauge. I'm doing this because one of my PCI slots is covered by my graphics card so I can't use both of my existing tuner cards (which have been showing signs of dieing soon anyways. Anyways, I am not able to get it to be detected by UnRaid with LibreELEC DVB plugin installed. I have tried 6.3.0rc6 which also didn't work. I thought maybe it would since it looks like kernel 4.8 includes support for this tuner. Anyways, any thoughts on how to get this working? Or is the firmware going to be included in a future build of LibreELEC DVB?
January 2, 20179 yr The firmware is present in the DVB build. Can you post a screenshot of the Unraid DVB Plugin page please? Like this....

Been working supremely well with the TBS official drivers over the Christmas break, but now it's time to get it working with Open Source.
January 4, 20179 yr Thanks for responding CHBMB! Here is the screenshot you asked for. So I'm assuming you have two cards installed?
January 4, 20179 yr Yes, one is a PCI Hauppauge 1600, the other is the new QuadHD card I linked. Can you run lspci -v and post the output here please?

January 4, 20179 yr Can you also post the output of dmesg please? (Try and wrap the code in the code tags - looks like a # in the webui)
January 4, 20179 yr Yes, sorry. I also just noticed that my card is CX23885 instead of CX23887/8 like on the page I linked https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-quadHD_(DVB-T/T2/C). Not sure if that makes a difference in the driver needed. I should have ran dmesg before. There is clearly some important information in there around line 810 I've only included that portion for now, let you me know if you want the rest and I can attach.
