Hey Ich777 Diags posted

First of all I would recommend that you upgrade to 6.10.3 and that you actually use the LibreELEC package.

 

Please send the Diagnostics again after you've switched over and rebooted.

Hey Ich777 thanks for your help so far, hoping to get this going, I was on 6.10.3 previously but tried rolling back to previous version to see if it made a difference but it hasnt, upgraded back to 6.10.3 and Diag is attached

Please open up a Terminal from Unraid and post the output from:

ls -la /dev/dvb

 

Output attached, dvb doesnt exist, it is seen in system devices which is a start.

I did my research on the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1975 now and it is a complete mess...

This is the device we are talking about or am I wrong: Click

This tuner isn't even listed on the LinuxTV Wiki here for Hauppauge.

 

The Hauppauge site even mentions that there is a driver here but if you click the link the site is actually not reachable.

 

From what I see in the syslog your Tuner is recognized but somehow not fully working from what I saw from the outptut from "ls -la /dev/dvb":

Please send the output from:

I really can't tell if we can get this to work with Plex... Even if it works I don't think that Plex will accept it because it isn't listed on the compatible adapters here.

Plex is really "strange" when it comes to DVB and it is always better to use something like TVHeadend in combination with a bridge software to forward DVB to Plex (see recommended post on top of this thread).

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?

TBH I really don't know if it is worth the time since this device on Linux seems a little convoluted, especially the drivers...

 

If you are able and willing to buy another card I would recommend to buy something that is PCIe based if you have a free slot.

Don't know what's available where you are located but my go to choice for the high end is DigitalDevices, mid range would be TBS and on the lower end DVBSky.

 

But I have to say that only the price means high, mid and low range. The tuners work all perfectly fine, I run 2 DigitalDevices cards in my main server, a DVBSky and a TBS card in my test server and they work all flawlessly with TVHeadend.

@Ich777

Yeah thats my thoughts too, i have the unit recognised in a VM on Unraid running Win10, Passed Thru the TV Tuner,

Seems to Pick it up and will see if it picks up any channels.... thanks for your help, when i manage to save up some more coin ill buy a PCI Ex Card if i have a spare slot.

 

cheers

I managed to grab my hands on a PCIE Realtek Card, showing up in DVB Drivers, Whats the Next Step to getting it setup correctly for Plex to see it?

I‘m not really a Plex Pro so I would suggest that you first set up TVHeadend and then use a bridge app for Plex like in the recommended post from @alturismo on top.

 

Or you could also try to add the device /dev/dvb to the Docker template from Plex, but I‘m not too sure if that will work OOB with your card.

Just to let you know, I've now made a new package for TBS-OS with the missing module in it for Unraid 6.10.2

 

To get this package I would recommend that you uninstall the DVB Driver plugin, reboot, after rebooting pull a fresh copy from the CA App, change the driver to TBS-OS and then again reboot.

 

After that, the tuner should work.

@ich777 Thanks - I will try that on next reboot - Currently running with a more uptodate TBS card: TBS 6905 + TBS 6205 = no issues via TBS-OpenSource, Unraid 6.10.3. 

Hi,

 

I'm looking to get a card for my Emby server, could anyone tell me if TBS-OS is compatible with the TBS 6902?

 

I just wanted to check before I wasted any cash.

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

TBS-OS as well as LibreELEC are compatible with this card.

 

Keep in mind that I would recommend that you use TVHeadend for the management of the TV Card and then add it via XMLTV to Emby.

Thank you so much, I have spent the afternoon looking into this, and was going to use nextdvr. (based on my limited knowledge and available info) 🙄

 

Its my first venture into trying to set up the live TV so I will now research your suggested method going forward.

Search for „Emby XML Tvheadend“ on the Emby forums and I think you will find a post from @alturismo who describes how to do that…

Hello,

Ich777 - I am asking for help: 

Do TBS TV tuners USB  work on Unraid (Tvheadend)?
I mean TBS5930 and TBS5520SE.

Do you already own these tuners?

 

Usually they should work, you can get a full list from supported devices from the TBS-OS Package here: Click

No, I don't have.
I want to buy.

I would rather recommend buying PCIe based tuners, USB tuners gave a few people here troubles in the past (random disconnects).

Raczej poleciłbym kupowanie tunerów opartych na PCIe, tunery USB sprawiały tu w przeszłości kilka problemów (losowe rozłączenia).

My computer has no PCIe.
I have something like this (only CPU J4125):

Ah, okay, then stick with the USB Tuners.

I actually don't know if those issues where related to other things like USB extension cords or something like that but I think that a few people out there run USB Tuners with zero issues at all, just wanted to let you know.

Hi @ich777 , 

I see that the latest release (for 6.11.0--rc4) does not contain the tbsos drivers. 

Is there a problem with them for that kernel? I can't upgrade to rc4 without the tbsos drivers 😞

 

Thanks!!

Exactly, the official media_build (which TBS-OS) relys on doesn't build for 5.19 currently: Click

I would recommend that you stick until then with something older and not with rc4

Took a peek, seems like the media_build process pulls older versions of some kernel code, specifically mceusb.c. Check out e.g. here.

i couldn't watch any dvb-s channels anymore so i decided to update the plugin...

after that my 2 cards (dvb-t2 usb + TeVii S471 DVB-S2 PCIe) won't show up anymore.

after some investigations i found out that there's an unraid 6.10 already (was on 6.9.2) and also updated unraidOS but still no cards...

 

 

you might say i should "update & download" but i have tried this (with a reboot afterwards) and the "update & download" button just reappears...

 

root@DataTower:~# ls -la /dev/dvb

this:

just means i should hit the "update & download" button, right?

 

previously everything worked with this entry:
