Hi all, is possible to use a Xbox one tuner to set this up? xbox one tuner. I have it showing up in plex, but when trying to choose my local area. It's not listed, tried full uk scan and no channels found

Do you have Diagnostics with the Tuner attached to your system and the LibreELEC drivers installed?

Hi I have LibreElec drivers installed.

Plex needs some kind of bridging software to be able to see the adapter.

Thank you for your help, after reading this thread. I got it working. Thank you again

Sorry but I even don't see the device in your lspci

 

It seems like the device is not (properly) connected to your system.

Hello, I looked for information on the Internet. 
Looks like a problem with PCIe bus speed negotiation.

I will mention that the card is 100% functional, and it is not visible at all on this Supermicro X11SAE-M motherboard. 

The solution to this problem in my case was to change these parameters:

From:

That is, setting Gen1 on the SLOT4 PCIe x4 connector. 

Even later, the card is seen in TVHeadEnd without problems.

Additional complications

The only problem I've experienced is the lack of SNR signal display, I don't know where the problem lies, whether it's in TvHeadEnd or in the video card drivers themselves.

 

 

Besides, TV channels from HotBird work, I can not only embrace the channels from the other Astra 19.2. The connection I have one LNB.

I think this is a driver implementation thing and most of the times you can ignore that.

If the tuner is working then everything should be fine, not all tuners can report that.

It is true that I experience a weaker signal on this head unit. Than on the decoder Vu+ DUO2. I simply have too weak a signal to receive some channels. I would supply myself with something newer on USB, can anyone recommend something? One LNB for testing is enough.

USB is a bit hard for me since I always would recommend to use PCIe, however if you need a USB Tuner then you can use a Sundtek one, but that is another plugin since the driver works a bit different and it is only compatible with TVHeadend from Linuxserver.io at least on Unraid with my plugin.

Hi !

My server unraid is v6.9.2

My USB Stick DVB-T is the "Hauppauge NovaT 500Stick" (an Elgato EyeTV diversity USB stick)
May be an Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick...

# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2040:9580 Hauppauge NovaT 500Stick

After install, DVB-Driver says :
"Found but Unknown to the plugin"
See the pict (with another problem : Warning: file(/tmp/dvb-driver): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in...)

 

I wanted to know howto determinate to write the mobprob in the go file.

I tried :
modprobe ddbridge
modprobe cx23885

Thanks

try with libreelec drivers, may also with TBS drivers ...

 

also may consider, usb tv sticks are likely not the best choice ... sundtek may be an option for USB too ... if the upper steps wont help at all ...

As @alturismo said, please upgrade to a recent version from Unraid.

Usually you don‘t have to do that but that would be all more easy to troubleshoot with Diagnostics.

Hey Ich777, I got this tuner off ebay thinking cheap way to get PVR, here in aus its DVB-T/T2

what entry level card/tuner would you use for an unraid setup?

 

if we got the linux drivers is it possible to get the 1975 Haupauge working or is it a waste of time?

 

 

Hi All/@ich777 I picked up a similar card - WinTV-HVR-1265 - but am having the same problem as @bbotto90 re: attached image - the card isn't recognised by unraid (have tried in multiple free slots that work with other PCI-E card.) Dockers fail to start if adding the /dev/dvb to extra parameters and not seen when calling lspci.
NB: running unraid 6.12.6 and the DVB plugin (kernel - 6.1.64-Unraid - doesn't see any adapters

If you don‘t see it in lspci then the card is not recognized by the system at all.

Sorry - my clumsily worded request - The DVB plugin says 'No Adapters found!'. ls -la /dev/dvb/ gives the same result as the image above - /bin/ls: cannot access '/dev/dvb/': No such file or directory.

Yeah, I was hoping it wouldn't be a bad card, but possible I guess re: not showing with lspci.
I recall I had similar issues when I was trying to get my GPU working - system couldn't see it initially, but it eventually registered and works fine now, so hoping similar issue here re: drivers or something else.

what wonders me a little ... as its listed in your USB devices ?

 

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 2040:72a0 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1265

 

your link is actually showing a pci card ...

 

may @ich777 rather knows something, but to me it looks like your card is (sadly) not really compatible, may due the "upgrade" from the pcie chip ...

 

from the Hauppage site Info ...

Same features as the previous model WinTV-HVR-1265, but with an updated PCIe bridge chip to replace an obsolete chip

 

also not listed here https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge

I don't see any indication that this tuner is supported by the Linux Kernel sorry...

 

Is this a USB Tuner or PCI based Tuner? I don't think that this tuner is supported at all on Linux at least not through LibreELEC and TBS-OS so to speak no chance on get it working on Unraid.

 Yeah the USB thing is weird - definitely a PCIe card - headless server - only USB device connected is internal OS thumbdrive.

As you and, @ich777 notes above, looks like its an unsuported card at best, or a faulty one at worst. #badbuy.

Thanks for your time, effort, and help - sorry for the time-waste!

if you run unraid "virtualized" then ... may consider running your apps etc also nativ there ? instead passing passing passing devices through ... this always can result in errors.

 

just my suggestion in such a setup.

As @alturismo said you should consult the Proxmox forums since this is not an Unraid issue at all.

 

I'm not familiar with Proxmox at all since I think for a small Homelab it is a bit overkill, however from what I know from other users you also have to add special parameters the VM in Proxmox since otherwise you will run into troubles like you are experiencing.

Thank you @ich777 and @alturismo I will follow up on those forums.  I do think it is something related to how promox is pulling that information just to test, I put unraid back on bare metal and the card was recognized and loaded as expected.
