CHBMB Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 OK, didn't realise that, I'll see what I can do.. thx. alot mate for your time/effort! ;-) Update the plugin and try the 6.1.9 build I've just uploaded. Let me know if it does the trick. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Also s.Oliver, can you test the V6.2 Beta 23 build I'm just uploading as well. I'll understand if you don't want to. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ok, there are now V6.1.9 & V6.2 Beta 23 Builds uploaded for both TBS DVB-C and Digital Devices Github. Be grateful if anyone can test. The new Digital Devices Github build now has ddbridge.conf placed in /config/plugins/UnraidDVB/ enabling you to edit it. I have kept the default configuration to stop the I2C errors and plugin upgrades shouldn't affect it. If you remove the plugin however, the file will be deleted. Link to comment

If you remove the plugin however, the file will be deleted. ok, just had 2 runs and both times the DVB Adapter Drivers didn't get detected. i went this way: updated the plug-in to 2016.06.19a, then choose the new tbs-build, installed (over my previous install - should i've 1st need to deinstalled or install vanilla build?). rebooted: DVB Adapter Drivers not recognized. then updated to the now newer 2016.06.19b plug-in, installed TBS DVB-C 6.1.9 build, rebooted, same error – not recognizing the DVB Adapter Drivers. btw. i do see a line when booting up, shortly before the end, which writes: "File '/boot/config/plugins/UnraidDVB/ddbridge.conf' already there; not retrieving." want me to try something else?

Happy days, should work as expected, sorry about the first build. Have to say the TBS documentation is a bit lacking on the subject. Found the problem browsing their forums though... Link to comment
tunip Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi CHBMB, DD driver 0.9.23 with Max S8 works very well since days . The "wrong values" for STR & SNR could be this option in the Makefile (dddvb/frontends/Makefile): EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DDBVALS Could you create a build without this compiler flag (in dddvb/frontends/Makefile) for testing the STR and SNR values? #EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DDBVALS Many Thx!

meep Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 CHBMB I'm running 6.1.9 with Digital Devices Octopus DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T tuners. TVHeadEnd as the PVR software. Do I need to update and test these? (I'd prefer not as I've just got the whole house TV system working smoothly and I'll be shot if I start disrupting it again, but I can if it would be helpful) Is the ddbridge.conf relevant to me? Thanks Link to comment

Thanks Well the Digital Devices Experimental is now defunct, so at some point you'll have to switch over. ddbridge.conf in the new build is the same as in the old build so you shouldn't have to change a thing.

CHBMB Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah you can, fundamentally nothing changes with my updates, just some formatting for the new builds and a changelog. Can always downgrade. Link to comment

My only problem with that is what is the effect going to be on others who use this without the Max S8? Any links to info so I can read a bit. I am very much against producing yet another build to be honest. Link to comment
tunip Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 with DDBVALS - >dB values without DDBVALS -> linear values Maybe the application needs to change from dB to linear values to show the correct signal strengths. Don't know if DVB-C is affected. But you are right, don't build to much builds. Link to comment

Don't know if DVB-C is affected. But you are right, don't build to much builds. Try this one. Extract the tar and copy bzroot, bzimage and bzroot-gui to your flash drive and reboot. It's V6.2 Beta 23. I haven't added it to the plugin as it was getting too confusing and I'm worried about other people inadvertently ending up as guinea pigs.... You can however use the plugin to change back to a different version afterwards. Link to comment
tunip Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Many thanks for your custom build. Did not change the strange signal strength values. femon status SCVYL | signal 95% | snr 2% | ber 0 | unc 1 | FE_HAS_LOCK How cares, the tuner runs fine (also under bad weather conditions), which is most important . With your work I can use my card in unRAID. Great work! Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 OK, well at least it's nice to satisfy our curiosity. Glad we got it working and you bought the new Digital Devices Github repo to my attention. Was wondering what to do with Digital Devices when the mercurial build started throwing errors on compile. Knew it was a matter of time before it'll stop building on newer kernels. Thanks for all your prompt testing. Link to comment
tunip Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Put the Max S8 now into the production system (6.1.9). Drivers are loaded but ddbridge.conf would not be respected at boot time. After boot i tried "rmmod ddbridge" and "modprobe ddbrige", ddbridge.conf would be respected but the modprobe needs round about 7-10 seconds to load the module and card does not proberly in unicable mode. Then put the card back into the test-system (6.2 beta 23) same thing (worked before, also after 5 reboots) . Installed debian 8.5 on the system compiled the driver and everthing works flawless. I'm afraid to ask, but is it possible to upload temporary the image with "options ddbridge fmode=3 msi=0" (without the symbolic link) again? Download link for testing is enough. Many many Thanks. I'm sorry that I nerve Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Can you try the beta23 version on your production server? Help me see if there's a problem between different versions. Also are you using a USB2 port to boot from? Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'll have to compile it again, so give me a day or so. Link to comment
tunip Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 This is my setup... Testsystem: 6.2 beta23 (USB 3.0 is used to boot, Haswell CPU, Asrock Rack Mainboard) Prodsystem: 6.1.9 (USB 3.0 is used to boot, Skylake CPU, Fujitsu Mainboard) Diffrent versions same behavior (strange thing is, it worked on the testsystem for 3 days...). Will try to boot on a USB 2.0 port (test & prod). No rush, i can test on weekend (at the earliest). And how can i spend you a beer or a coffee ? Link to comment
