[Plugin] DVB-Driver

From what I see the TeVii S471 DVB-S2 PCIe is recognized just fine and should work just fine.

 

For what's happening with your USB device I really can't tell what's going on there, it seems that it loads fine:

Have you yet tried to reboot?

yes, multiple times. on the plugin settings page there are no cards, are there?

also the "UPDATE & DOWNLOAD" button reappears after every reboot.

 

huh. in tvheadend the dvb-t device shows up, no idea why DVB-T is "red" (inactive?):

Please remove the option from your syslinux command line for this card, something seems wrong:

Why should it disappear? What if you want to change the package that you've downloaded how would you do that if it disappeared?

I really can't tell what's going on there:

Maybe the card is broken now if it was the case that you've noticed it one day...

Now the card is properly detected from what I see:

Sep  3 14:23:40 DataTower kernel: cx23885: CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: d471:9022, board: TeVii S471 [card=35,autodetected]

 

But it fails somehow to register on your server:

Sep  3 14:23:40 DataTower kernel: Invalid probe, probably not a DS3000

 

Did you change anything else on your server? Usually a card won't disappear if you do nothing except it is somehow defective now.

BIOS update, swap some PCIe slots for cards or anything else?

 

If the card stopped working with the driver which was installed before my best bet is now that it somehow got defective now...

Maybe there was a thunderstorm or something like that which caused this or similar.

Do you have another computer where you can test the card in?

i might have a second card around somewhere... but i think this is the "second" card...

i have no other pc with free PCIe slots...

i haven't changed anything in ages, but it really did stop to work "suddenly" (i don't watch dvb-s that much to be honest).

and i'm sure there were a lot of thunderstorms this past weeks...

 

edit: already looking for a new card. why should anyone go fore the TBS-6903 instead of the TBS-6902?

TBS-6902

I would recommend that you stick with a TBS6902 but keep in mind that currently the TBS6902 drivers doesn't compile on Kernel 5.19 which Unraid 6.11.0-rc4 is based on but it however should be supported by the LibreELEC driver package so you should be good to go.

Currently getting following while trying to install TBS-Opensource

Are you on 6.11.0-rc4?

If yes please stick to the LibreELEC driver otherwise you need to downgrade to the last Unraid version you where on since the TBS-OS drivers are currently not compiling against Kernel 5.19

Yes i am.

Unfortunately my card does not support libreelec, it's Avermedia Technologies Inc CX23887/8 PCIe.

I will try downgrading to earlier version.

Thank you!

Hello again!

i got my TBS-6902 but i still don't have a dvb-s card in the plugin (or tvheadend).

Shutdown > Card Installation > Boot > Download & Install Driver > Reboot.

Diagnostics attached.

 

this is not needed with this card, right?
