Posted by alturismo,

sure, but may ahead, if your final goal is only Plex you 1st should check what @ich777 pointed at, just add the device like /dev/dvb to Plex and check if the tuner(s) are recognized, if not but they are working in tvheadend then ...   you need a proxy between tvheadend and plex, look in CA either for   - xteve - more options, insert own EPG, map like you want, remux to standard streams with different types, ... - tvhproxy - simple, was the 1st before i made my own with x

Bridge for Plex

Thank you very much for your work for the community! 

May I ask a question, please? 

 

I am running unraid 6.9.2 and installed today a TBS6903X. 

The card is shown under "System Devices": [544d:6178] 07:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB Tuner PCIe Card

But the Plugin doesn't recognized it. 

 

To check, if everything is ok, I passed the controller through to a windows VM in unraid and it works fine. 

 

What can I do to make the Plugin see the Card? 

Any help is highly appreciated.

TBS6903X

This card is supported from the plugin and should work just fine.

Have you read the first thread how to configure the card?

What have you exactly done by now only installed the plugin? Have you already change the driver to the TBS OS ones and rebooted your Server?

If yes, please post your Diagnostics.

Yes, I read the first thread before installation, installed the plugin according to the instructions given there and changed the driver to TBS. 

Can you try to select the LibreELEC drivers and reboot?

 

I also see this line in your syslinux.config: 

pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction

Attached you find the Diagnostics file, as requested.

Otherwise than that I see nothing suspicious in your Diagnostics.

Hi ich777. 

 

Do you see any chance to get this card working? 

I am sure that the card is ok and recognized by the mainboard correctly, as I can pass it through to a Windows VM and there it works fine. 

 

Yesterday i tried to switch the card to another PCIe-Slot. Didn't make any difference. 

 

What about forcing the driver to load via modprobe? 

Unfortunately I couldn't find out on which chip this card is based. 

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

That's also my problem, can't find any useful information about this... and without knowing what exact chip is on this card it's really hard to insert a module...

Your syslog also doesn't tell much, from what I see the card is recognized correctly but it doesn't pick up a module after the package is installed like it should do, it should look something like this:

You can try to do 'modprobe dvb_core' and after that do a 'lsmod' and post the output here, as said above the main issue is that I can't find anything which chip is on the card.

 

It is also really strange to me that the plugin installs and then nothing, no card detected, no firmware missing message, not anything at all.

I took a look in the uncompiled driver package and found this: 

 

Quote

[TBSECP3_BOARD_TBS6903X] = {
        .board_id    = TBSECP3_BOARD_TBS6903X,
        .name        = "TurboSight TBS 6903x (Dual DVB-S/S2/S2X)",
        .adapters    = 2,
        .eeprom_i2c    = 0,
        .eeprom_addr    = 0x10,
        .adap_config    = {
            {

 

Could this be the hint we were searching for?

With capital letters, it fails, with lowercase letters it throws no error message, but is still not loading the card:

From what I see the tuners aren't loaded but I really can't tell why.

May I ask if you can reboot and try to 'modprobe -vvv tbsecp3' again?

 

If this also doesn't work we will have to create a Github issue.

Thank you very much for your effords and your patience. 

Will definitely buy you some beers... 

This is a special modified driver for you and will only work on unRAID v6.9.2

To install it please do the following:

  1. Make sure you've selected the TBS-OS driver package on the plugin page
  2. Copy the attached file over to your USB Key in the following directory (and replace the old one) depending on how you do it here are the different directories:
    SMB: /flash/config/plugins/dvb-driver/packages/5.10.28/
    WinSCP: /boot/config/plugins/dvb-driver/packages/5.10.28/
    USB Stick direct on your local computer: /config/plugins/dvb-driver/packages/5.10.28/
  3. Reboot your server

After unRAID is started please pull a fresh copy from your Diagnostics and post it here and also the output from 'ls /dev/dvb'

 

Hopefully this will work.

 

Can you also please tell me which version the card is? A sticker on the back of the card should say what type and version it is.

tbsos-plugin-5.10.28-Unraid-1.txz

And thanks again!

Thank you!

Am I allowed to post the submitted picture on Github, of course with the serial numbers removed?

Posted it already with the serial numbers removed.

 

Keep in mind it will only work with this package for the time...

Do you had to take any additional steps or did it just work right after you rebooted?

And everytime a new unraid vewrsion comes out, the driver file would have to be modified again?

Keep an eye on the Github issue, I've try to get the subsystem PCI ID in the repo, if he is not adding it I can patch the file when compiling the drivers. ;)

As said above, for now this is the only package that will work with your card.
