thanks, but no improvment. attached the new diagnostics unraid-diagnostics-20230408-1202.zip

Please remember if you try the card in a different system woth a different OS that this is not saying much because what matters it the combination of the current hardware.

 

You are the first who is reporting such an error for 6.11.5 and the driver doesn’t change for a Unraid version.

I knew a few people who having none issues with this card/driver on 6.11.5

 

The only thing that I can recommend is that you create an Issue on GitHub from TBS.
Do you made sure that you disabled power saving in TVHeadend?

Nothing yet.

Please also make sure that the signal quality is decent.

 

BTW the error from previously was not caused by the TV card whatsoever, it was caused by another device in your system but could cause also troubles for your TV card since the timings for those must be perfect.

 

I really don't know what you could try, I just saw that you are using a Gigabyte board which are not the best in terms for BIOS support and have many bugs in them, at least that's my experience with them.

Back then (Sandy Bridge) I've also had a Gigabyte board where I had stutters and issues like you've described after I switched to a ASUS board everything was running smoothly again <- I used DigitalDevices cards in that case.

 

I can only recommend that you post an issue here with the exact description and with the syslog.txt, lscpci.txt, lscpu.txt and motherboard.txt from your Diagnostics.

You can also try to move the card to a different PCIe slot and see if that makes a difference.

Of course also make sure that you are on the latest BIOS version.

 

Before that you could also try to enable/disable various settings from the PCIe sub menu in your BIOS and see if that makes a difference.

 

Maybe someone over on GitHub knows how to solve that.

Hi I am using Sundtek usb dvbt/c dongle single tuner and seem to have some issues with getting it detected.


I have installed both dvb-drvers and sundtek-driver plugins and the adapter is detected and showing as 

Detected Adapters:

adapter0

 

Set Extra Parameters: to "--device=/dev/bus/usb"

 

and added extra path as suggested

However it is still not showing up in binhex-tvheadend as a tuner. Do I need to delete one of the driver plugins or am I missing another step? Have rebooted server after driver install.

No in fact I read you need to have that but not sure how you have both if im honest

Oh wait, I don't know if it is working with the binhex container since I don't know how he starts it and the sundtek driver installation script (which is pulled from sundtek itself) hacks into the startup routine...

 

Anyways you can try it, simply go in the Docker template and at the bottom click on " Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" from the drop down select "Device" at "Value" enter the path (eg: "/dev/dvb") click "Add" and "Apply".

 

You could also add the second device path like that so that you don't have to use the Extra Parameters.

Unfortunately it didnt work, just tried with LSIO too but same. Nothing showing.

 

Tried adding adapter0 too which is showed on the driver plugin page

Please don't specify things that are already specified with the upper path, you just need /dev/dvb and /dev/bus/usb all other paths are not necessary, did you also pass through the script as described on the plugin page.

Did you also specify the exact name of the container when running the installer from the plugin page (case sensitive)?

Hi started again from fresh it is now working!!

@binhex how do you start your container in the Docker container? Does your container also support custom start scripts like it is for the linxuserver container in /etc/cont-init.d/ ?

 

These two things would be trivial for the Sundtek plugin to work properly.

Quick one from me, all of a sudden the lsio tvheadend container refuses to connect and I get the following in my logs

 

Apr 19 17:36:54 Server kernel: mediasrv[26610]: segfault at 4 ip 0000000000418457 sp 0000146db352f0f8 error 4 in mediasrv[405000+3c000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)

 

is this driver related or container issue?

 

Tried again with binhex container and same

Can you try to reboot your server?

 

Did you change anything? I thought it was working? Are you sure that USB Tuner is still connected and that the USB cable has no defect and plugged in all the way?

Hi it was showing as connected but after reboot it disappeared. Then after another reboot came back. I think it is a faulty device now. It is probably about 8years old and happen to find it again last week so thought I would try it.

Please check the USB Extension or change the USB port where it is plugged in, often times the extension cable can be faulty too if you are using one.

Anyone able to recommend a dual or greater pci card for dvbt2 but must be low profile to fit in 2u chassis

I would recommend DigitalDevices or Sundtek, I really can't recommend TBS anymore because of their drivers and lacking support.

I had a little play around but for some reason the adapter is detected in unraid but the blue activity light does come on.

Tried the same adapter in my Vu+ Zero enigma2 box and the blue light comes on fine.
