[Plugin] DVB-Driver

[boragthung70]

Sorry just seen your response ich777. Yes this is the thread I thought I was supposed to post in, but still made a mistake.

 

I use your plug in for docker libreelec using TVHeadend. I was just getting confused and I think maybe I did originally post in the right thread. Sorry. I'll try the right thread now.

In the plugin, when I select "Plex PX Series Tuners (Japan)", the driver "nns779/px4_drv" is installed.
However, the developer of "nns779/px4_drv" has not been online since September 2021.

This driver has several problems.
 - The Linux kernel API has been changed and it does not work after Linux 6.4 series.
 - It has a problem with memory buffer management.

Therefore, Japanese users are using a forked version of px4_drv which fixes the problems.

Could you please add an option to the plugin to install this forked version?
The build process is the same as the original nns779 version.

Thank you for the heads up!

Yes, please give me a bit and I will look into that and report back.

Are you on Unraid 6.12.10?

 

I just checked and the latest builds are already based on the repository from:

https://github.com/tsukumijima/px4_drv

 

Is it not working or what is the exact issue?

Did you reboot after changing the driver package?

Can you please share your Diagnostics if possible so that I can troubleshoot a bit further?

Is the driver maybe not loaded?

Thanks for confirming.
I thought the nns779 version had been adopted from past forum interactions.

I see that the tsukumijima version was already applied.
Currently, we are not experiencing any problems.
We already have 7 streams of recordings running 24 hours a day, all the time.🙂

 

thank you.

Yes, this was the initial repository that I used to build the driver from but I now remember that I had issues building the driver for newer Kernels and also saw that repository and switched the build process over to the new one.

 

Glad to hear that everything is working.
