May 27, 20179 yr Hi, The 6.3.5 version doesn't seem to work for me, anyone else got problems with this version? I got a TT S2-4200, was working until now. Tried reinstalling the DVB Build (6.3.5) several times and did a lot of reboots. Downgrading to 6.3.4 and the card is back. Let me know if you need any more information. tower-diagnostics-20170528-0112.zip
May 30, 20179 yr Hi CHBMB, thanks for your reply. I got it working again ... with some messing around. TL;DR: The LibreELEC 6.3.5 build seems to be missing the "smipcie" kernel module Long Version: I compared the loaded kernel modules of the libreElec 6.3.4 and 6.3.5 build. All the dvb related modules were not loaded. Then I tried to load the missing kernel modules and it seems the 6.3.5 build is missing the smipcie module. modprobe smipcie modprobe: FATAL: Module smipcie not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.30-unRAID Quote https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/DVB_SMIPCIE.html Support for cards with SMI PCIe bridge: - DVBSky S950 V3 - DVBSky S952 V3 - DVBSky T9580 V3 since the TT S2 4200 is identical to to the DVBSky S952 V3 it makes sense that it doesn't work without this module. I then tried different builds to see if the smipcie module is included in one of them so I could copy it... The TBS (Open Source) 6.3.5 build includes the smipcie module but is missing the firmware files for the card. Copying the smipcie.ko and "insmod smipcie" (also loading the dependencies first) didn't work. All the needed modules were loaded but for some reason the firmware didn't get loaded. So i just copied the firmware to /boot/config, installed the TBS (Open Source) build and copy the firmware in the /boot/config/go script to /lib/firmware. Now its working again , but not the preferred way to get it working i guess Hope this helps you to fix the LibreELEC build.

May 30, 20179 yr Something clearly got borked last time. I did another build a couple of days ago that I never quite got around to uploading. Can you all pull the v6.3.5 release again and test please? Edited May 30, 20179 yr by CHBMB

June 2, 20179 yr I do not have unRAID DVB Edition installed as the first page here says hdhomerun tuners will work without this special unraid version installed. I am using an hdhomerun tuner but my tvheadend docker will only find the dvb-c tuners, no dvb-t tuners are listed. Whereas using tvheadend from my libreelec vm all tuners are found and working correctly. Any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks.
June 2, 20179 yr I'd ask in the TVH thread. I got no experience with hdhomerun at all.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
June 4, 20179 yr Thank you for this plugin, been using it for about a year I think. So far it's only been with USB tuners mainly as a test. Finally upgraded to TBS 6909 DVB-S2 card, working very well. Also a DVB-T2 Hauppauge WinTV-Quad HD but this is not working so well. Tested with TBS OpenSource and initially very good but then signal issues which I blame on the card including 4way splitter that seems to favour 2 of the 4 tuners. Tried CrazyCat drivers too, similar results although very different signal readings on two cards. This card is likely getting returned.

Their Linux support in general is a little lacklustre.
June 4, 20179 yr Strangely the driver shows up the same as my T2 usb tuner that works flawlessly. I will likely end up with a dual or quad TBS. Unless I try to be cheap again and get a DVBSKy card instead. I'll add that I'm looking forward to a 6.4.0-RC1 update as I'm eager to test 6.4.0-RC1
June 4, 20179 yr To be honest, the DVB stuff for v6.4 is already done, but the plugin is going to need a rewrite due to some changes. I'm just looking at it now.
June 4, 20179 yr Due to some last minute unexpected changes in V6.4, I'm having to do some work on the DVB stuff, hopefully have them ready soon.
June 5, 20179 yr v6.4.0-rc1 TBS Opensource, LibreELEC, Digital Devices builds uploaded. Before you can access them you must do both the following. 1. Upgrade the DVB Plugin to the most recent version 2. Update to v6.4.0-rc1 via LimeTech's plugin. I'll try and do the other versions in the next day or so. Edited June 5, 20179 yr by CHBMB
June 5, 20179 yr Tested the TBS Opensource drivers and lost access to the Hauppauge WinTV QuadHD card, not a massive issue for myself as I intend to return it but there appears to be a problem. It detected 3x USB DVB-T2's and the TBS 6909. This would show 8x TBS 6909 if I unplug the USB. All 11 were detected in TVHeadend. unRAID Version: 6.4.0-rc1 DVB Version: TBS (Open Source) & LibreELEC ATSC-C, DVB-C, DVB-S(2) & DVB-T(2) Driver Version: 040617 DVB Kernel: Detected DVB Adapter Drivers: Detected DVB Adapter 0: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 DVB Adapter 1: DVB-T DVB Adapter 2: Silicon Labs Si2168 DVB Adapter 3: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 DVB Adapter 4: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 DVB Adapter 5: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 DVB Adapter 6: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 DVB Adapter 7: TurboSight TBS 6909 DVB-S/S2 Tested the LibreELEC and nothing is detected. unRAID Version: 6.4.0-rc1 DVB Version: LibreELEC Driver Version: 1.2.1 DVB Kernel: Not Detected DVB Adapter Drivers: Not Detected DVB Adapter 0: Not Detected Edited June 5, 20179 yr by Tuftuf
June 5, 20179 yr I'm confused, what's the problem? All your TBS tuners are detected using TBS software. None are detected when using the LibreELEC build which doesn't contain TBS driver....Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I sold my Quad HD card and switched to ta TBS and it was a very good move. Yes, it's more money but you have to put a price on your own time as well
June 5, 20179 yr I have 3x USB-T2 tuners + the QuadHD card that should be detected with LibreELEC. You can see a couple of them in the list with the TBS OS drivers. Also shouldn't the LibreELEC say DVB Kernel detected even without any TV cards installed? But the actual issue I reported was that the QuadHD is no longer detected with the TBS OS drivers, which it was prior to the upgrade. (I don't need it to work, but it was working) @DMZZ Since I can return the QuadHD card I plan to see how long I can cope with the 1 or 2 USB Tuners for T/T2 and take most of the channels from the TBS S2 card. If I run into problems indeed it'll have to be a TBS card. Edited June 5, 20179 yr by Tuftuf
June 6, 20179 yr @Tuftuf Gotcha, I'm going to work on RC2 now. The issue is because of the change with bzmodules and bzfirmware I'm having to completely rewrite the process. Bear with me.
June 6, 20179 yr Right, think I got it all straightened out. Both RC1 and RC2 should both be working now, got to do some more testing then I'll upload. TBS-official builds aren't done as their drivers won't compile on kernel version 4.11.3 so I've let them know. More reason to switch to opensource drivers if you can (and haven't already) Edited June 6, 20179 yr by CHBMB
