[Plugin] Linuxserver.io - Unraid DVB

@CHBMB – here my update on LibreELEC build & Digital Devices TV-Card

 

it seems that with every beginning of a reording i see a mixture out of these errors in the TVH docker:

 

2018-03-14 20:11:30.052 [WARNING] linuxdvb: Unable to provide BER value.

2018-03-14 20:12:00.262 [WARNING] tbl-pass: pass-eit: -: invalid checksum (len 3638, errors 1)

 

can't check the files (they just started recording) but i guess these errors at the beginning aren't (actually) serious, but because of TVH listing them in the list of running recordings (and so later in finished recordings) i can't tell a day or two later, if these errors were serious or not (because it can be, that additional errors occur while they get recorded).

 

so in comparison to the github version it's a definite drawback for me. i've lots of recordings running, so it arises as a nightmare when i'm about to decide which to keep and which are worth of being treated any further (removing ads, etc.) and put them into the plex library.

 

if i might ask for one more 6.5.x Github build? please. i'm willing to do testing with LibreELEC from time to time, but now, it's not the standard i was enjoying.

Only problem is if I do one more build, what's going to change next time?  Unless somebody reports these to Digital Devices and TVHeadend how are they going to get fixed or how are we going to get to the bottom of things?

 

You file bug reports in those two places and I'll compile the github build.  Can you link me to the bug reports so I can monitor them please?

 

All the info you need should be on the DVB Plugin page, I've included a new line to tell people exactly what kernel we're running, to help with bug reports etc.

i've spotted this line in the unRAID log:

Mar 14 14:53:57 unRAID kernel: ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: use of SPD flags is deprecated
 

think it's new since v6.5 (probably cause of newer kernel drivers and their requirements?).

 

Looks like this is from summer last year, so not new. Might be Oscam use a deprecated method to set the speed.

If everything works, I wouldn't worry about it.

I was on 6.5.0-rc6 and when I wanted to upgrade to 6.5.0 weird things started happening.

 

Initially I got an error on the DVB plugin page. So I tried to uninstall the plugin which said it wasn't installed in the first place.

 

Then I tried installing it (again), but I got errors when it tried to extract the tar file (errorcode 2).

 

What I did is upgrade to 6.5.0 stock using the normal upgrade path. And after that I tried installing the plugin again.

 

Same error:

Is there anything I can do to fix this.

Before the upgrade I had the same issues with CA, the apps tab was not showing anymore  (6.5.0-rc6) but it now is back on 6.5.0..

 

 

Here's a screenshot of me uninstalling the plugin after it failed to correctly install:

No idea, have check the plugin at my end and it's working fine.  Maybe @Squid might have an idea, as it looks more of a general problem that just with this plugin.

Do you have the MD5 entry on the <File> for the txz.  sorry at work.    I'm assuming that a fresh install works for @CHBMB

 

Fresh install worked fine, md5sum checks out

I narrowed it down to my /var filling up with syslogs. Turned out my VM setup with primary nvidia passtrhough is giving me BARs warnings continuesly. Not starting any VM's on boot made everything work again.

 

So it didn't have anything to do with this plugin in the end, got LibreElec 6.5.0 running now!

 

Thanks for the help anyway, and if someone knows how to stop uninteresting log entries from filling up the partition (or is familiar with the type of error I got, posted in the 6.5.0 release thread) feel free to post it (A)

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.

 

Hi there, I'm having the same problem here, the unRAIDDVB plugin times out looking for the server, "Error downloading source files". Here is my ping result:

Thanks for the help, logs and screenshot attached.

So if the Blackgold cards are a bust (I'm gonna nag them anyway!) - are there any cards with MORE than 2 tuners that DO work? I have a single spare x4 slot...  And would be nice to have unRAID do ANOTHER job...

 

Personally I've moved away from DVB solutions to one of these.  Quad tuner S2, run custom firmware on it and then the signal gets distributed over ethernet and is decoded by tvheadend.  Removes the need for DVB drivers in Unraid.

 

Otherwise there are plenty of dual tuner cards that work in Linux, TBS and I believe digital devices is working well.  LinuxTV is a good source of information.

Looks spot on for my needs...  Thank you... and I keep my PCIE slot free for something else!!

 

Dumb Qs incoming....

Q1: Diseq switching or some other way to select different LNBs as I want to get Astra 19E and 28E. I could probably live without switching if I dedicate a single LNB input to Astra 19E

Q2: Does it pick up EPG channel guide stuff or does that come from the tvheadend s/w? 

Q3: No idea if I will ever need it but ... softcams?  ;-)

Q4: It is DVB-S2 not DVB-S only?

Q5: Anything similar for DVB-T/T2?

 

Thanks again... you may have save me a trip down a deadend!
