Good news for all TBS users!

 

I just asked Tom to include some necessary Kernel modules to Unraid which are needed to compile the TBS drivers and hopefully they make it into Unraid 6.11.2 so this basically means that the TBS driver package should be working again when Unraid 6.11.2 is released.

Thank you!!

Exactly, because the go file is executed every time the server boots and with this you ensure they are there.

 

But what would be ultimately be my goal is to install everything on the host and then pass the "devices" /dev/dvbX to the container as usual (this should also work like if you pass through any other DVB  card to a container or am I wrong?) and also check if eg: /dev/dvb0 is already there and create a new device for at the next free /dev/dvbX slot.

 

this does not work with our devices, they need to be installed either on the host (for host use) or in the docker image (for docker image use).

The driver process uses shared memory and sys-v IPC, and that will be blocked between docker and the host.

Ah okay, got it, then the installation needs to be done in the Docker container.

If you want to I can write a plugin which actually takes care of the creation from the dummy adapters and the mknod.

Hmmm, so should I wait with the manual installation of the Sundtek drivers until they have landed in your plugin?

This means, however, that the Sundtek drivers must be (re)installed every time the container (image AKA app) is updated, right? Because changes in the container are not persistent.

it's only about the device nodes on the host.

You can install the driver already.

 

When rebooting the system you might have to repeat step #1 , this part will change because it only creates dummy device nodes in /dev/dvb

Step #2 will persist.

Because the Sundtek script installs everything inside the container to /config (which is mounted to your host) it does indeed persist container updates.

Is there any way or chance to make step #1 persistent as well?

Yes, through a plugin or in the go file.

 

Give me a bit, I have no hardware on hand currently, I really want to make sure that it works which it obviously will, I would recommend that you do it like @Sundtek mentioned it here („or something like this“ method from the linked post) in the go file but before emhttp is started to make sure the devices are there before all other services from Unraid start.

6.11.2 is out:

 

Please upgrade to 6.11.2 and report back if everything is working for you guys with the TBS-OS drivers.

works for me! thanks

haven't found the time to check for aem errors. i think i'll notice on sunday (tatort!).

works also fine for me - thanks

@ich777

It works. Thank you.

Hey Christoph @ich777,

yes, great work!

Thank you so much for all the time and effort to get this up and running!

 

I am very interested on how you build such plugins, is there a tutorial or video on that?

 

Cheers!

No tutorial or video on that... 

What do you want to know exactly? How the build process is done for the packages or how the plugins are built in general?

Everything should be on my GitHub, at least I try to put everything there, even how I compile the packages.

 

I'm more than happy to help, hit me up with a PM and we can talk a bit more in depth if you want too.

Server, in the syslog, maybe post the Diagnostics or send it via PM if you don't want to post it publicly.

didn't find anything in syslog, Diagnostics via PM!

Thank you so much for that. I finally pushed the button and installed 6.11.2 and as expected, all seems to be working well.

Very much appreciated!

The sample device will be shipped early next week, we just finished the assembly of the latest MediaTV Pro (DVB-C/T/T2/AnalogTV/FM Radio/S-Video/Composite) devices

Hi all, 

I've been trying for hours to get my Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD running in Unraid with Plex in Docker. 
I installed the DVB-Driver-Plugin, used the package from LibreELEC and restarted the server. In Unraid, the stick now seems to be recognized.

 

In the Plex container I set --device=/dev/dvb as an extra parameter.

 

But in Plex the device is still not recognized.

 

What can I do?

 

Enclosed the excerpt from lsusb

Thanks already for the help and hints.

Please use the official Docker container, AFAIK and also a few other people reported that the binhex container doesn't support it.

Wow, thank you very much, I would probably never have thought of that. 

I am still running unRAID version 6.10.  Does the DVB plugin work properly with the latest version - 6.11.5?

Yes.

All packages should work fine.

There was a downtime for about 2 months from the TBS package but that has been fixed now.

After I upgrade unRAID to 6.11.5 do I need to upgrade the DVB plugin?  Or does it need updating?  Or will it update automatically?

Help!  I just upgraded to 6.11.5 and I no longer have the DVB plugin or firewire plugin.  They both show up under the plugin file install errors.  What do I do?  Delete them from this error page and reinstall from scratch?
