October 16, 20178 yr Quick question about which build to install - I have both a DVBSky S952, and TBS 6281SE. Until today I worked only with the DVBSky one with the LibreELEC build. Now that I want to use both, I first tried TBS (Open Source) 6.4.0.rc9f but then 2 issues had ocurred: 1) The DVBSky had failed on: "Direct firmware load for dvb-demod-m88rs6000.fw failed with error -2" (haven't tried the TBS one) 2) The order of the adapters was off (1 DVBSky, 2 TBS, 3 DVBSky, 4 TBS) With #2 I can live, but #1 makes me believe I am not using the right build - which one should I be using?
October 16, 20178 yr I've tried the latest Crazy Cat and Open Source versions to try and get my TBS card recognised without luck (see attached). Reverted back to 6.3.5 official for now to get TVH back up. Not sure what to do now - was looking to get TVHProxy set up, but can't get card recognised on new versions - no longer supported?
October 18, 20178 yr Hi again - sorry to chime in, but I'm still learning about this set up. I've just tried using LibreElec 6.5.0-rc9f to see whether my TBS 6981 would show up, and it's showing two "Conexant CX24117/CX24132" adapters. As expected, these are showing up in TVHeadend and not enabled. Would it be possible/normal/advisable to rebuild my TVH config based on these inputs? Are they likely to work? Or should I be sticking to TBS builds?

OK, fair enough. Do you want me to go back through the RCs to see if there's a point at which it's recognised? Do TBS not make an official driver for the current kernel (I hadn't used the OpenSource/CrazyCat versions up until now)?
October 18, 20178 yr TBS's official drivers are now the open source ones. They've stopped developing the closed source ones which haven't compiled correctly on any of the v6.4 rc builds. I have emailed them about this to clarify and they confirmed the above.By all means try an earlier build to see if that helps.When I get some time I'll take a closer look.
October 18, 20178 yr Can confirm that 6.3.5 open source finds my TBS 6981 card, but 6.4.0-rc1 doesn't. Haven't tried rc2-8, but guessing it won't be promising. I'll leave you to it with fingers crossed. Thanks for your time.

Take a dump of the syslog for 6.3.5 and then find out what's missing, with regards to the TBS card, from the logs between 6.3.5 and 6.4.x This is how I found out that my Hauppauge card wasn't being detected in the earlier 6.4.x builds by CHBMB, which to do with changes to cx23885 code in v4l. Doing a "modprobe cx23885" in an unRAID ssh session then showed up a few errors that led to a resolution.

Thanks for that - I'm guessing that between TBS official, OpenSource, 6.3.5 and 6.4.0 I might be comparing apples to oranges, but I've been taking a look. I've extracted what I think is the important part of 6.3.5's system log after a boot. Contains all references to TBS, plus anything else surrounding that looked related.

October 21, 20178 yr As you've found CrazyCat is the only one that will work. TBS build contains only TBS driver to all intents and purposes, LibreELEC contains only default kernel stuff with only a few extra firmware files for extra non-TBS devices.
October 26, 20178 yr @CHBMB Do you have it documented somewhere how to build your environment for compiling the kernels? I seem to think I've seen you've listed it before but I could be mistaken. I was toying with the idea of trying to get the KVM fix for AMD CPU's & GPU passthrough into Unraid. The change was adding 6 lines to x86/kvm/svm.c and was tested on Arch.

The change was adding 6 lines to x86/kvm/svm.c and was tested on Arch. The scripts he uses is in the github repo link in the first post. If I remember correctly you will then have all packages needed installed. Not sure about the kernel source if it's downloaded also. I do not think it's documented in detail, but you should find bits and pieces if you go some pages back.
October 26, 20178 yr What@saarg says is right, and it downloads the kernel source.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
October 26, 20178 yr Weird. I had to reboot for other reasons and after rebooting the device ID (and the description) for my tbs card changed. No biggie I thought, so I restubbed with the new ID. The card is stubbed, but it's not getting detected as a DVB adapter by unRAID. It also means TVheadend won't start if the --device=/dev/dvb command is included. Any ideas what's wrong?

October 29, 20178 yr Any idea how to combine TBS cards and Hauppauge HDPVR2 in the same system? Is the HDPVR2 supported at all? I have the TBS working with Crazycat version, but doesn't recognise the HDPVR2.

October 29, 20178 yr @Cessquill Been taking a look at this. Information is scattered around and often quite out of date, but just on a hunch can you try the LibreELEC build again. It might be that your tuner has made it into the mainline kernel.
