I have a TBS tuner that stopped being recognised a while ago and now I'm trying to get it working again.

I don't see a Tuner in your system, is the tuner connect via USB or PCIe, but as said, I don't see any device that could be a Tuner.

Connected via PCIe . Maybe it's failed which is why it's not recognised.

Please try the following:

1. Shut down the server

2. Pull the power cord from wall

3. Press the power and reset button for a few times (to empty the caps)

4. Wait 15 seconds after that

5. Plug the power cord back into the wall

6. Start your server

Sometimes the cards are in a hanging state and not recognized at all, with this method you can reset it.

Hi,thank you for great DVB drivers I have TBS 6281SE v2, it is detected fine after installation, but I think I have issues with modes as I'm unable to detect any channels when scanning, so I need some support to fix this. I booted the same PC with windows and channel detection works fine so cable and card is ok just need to figure it for unraid. Any suggestion is appreciated.

DVB drivers

I see nothing wrong on the driver side, with what Container are you trying to find channels? Both Tuners are detected correctly and they should also work just fine.
Please do note that Windows isn't Linux, are you using TVHeadend on both platforms or any other kind of software?

My suspicion is that it has more to do with the application that you are trying to scan or some kind of miss configuration.

What dirvers did you try yet? Only TBS ones or did you try the LibreELEC too already?

I'm using nextpvr in combination with Kodi. I tried only TBS drivers. I know that my card has two modes, and I already applied mode under Windows with TBS tool, but I'm not sure if I need to apply this on Linux somehow or this is permanent for all systems. I'll try libreELEC and tvheadend too.

First post in this thread at the very bottom, but the modes or how you apply these modes vary from card to card.

You don't have to try the LibreELEC drivers since it seems the TBS ones work just fine for you, however I would recommend that you try TVHeadend, at least that's what I use and whats working perfectly fine.

Hi yes, tvheadend works just fine but the issue is I want to continue using nextpvr as im already used to it... anyway I'm trying to sort it out on nextpvr forums, seems that scan in nextpvr is not working properly under docker container. Anyway, thank you so much for help with this!

Is DVB-Driver available for Unraid version 7.2.2? Post 2 of this thread links to a Github site that shows the versions of this driver, but it seems to be deprecated as it ends at 6.8.12

I am currently running Unraid 6.12.4. I plan to upgrade soon to a more recent version, like 7.2.2. Are there any issues doing that, or do I just upgrade Unraid and then upgrade the DVB-Driver plugin?

if you check the main git site you see it moved to unraid repo, and yes, last release 2 days ago ;)

GitHub

GitHub - unraid/unraid-dvb-driver: ATSC/DTMB/DVB/ISDB dri...

ATSC/DTMB/DVB/ISDB driver repository for Unraid . Contribute to unraid/unraid-dvb-driver development by creating an account on GitHub.

Thank you very much. When I go to that Git site it says "for Unraid Kernel v6.17.9". How do we know which Unraid Kernel matches up with Unraid version 7.2.2.

Can I suggest that someone update or delete Post #2 of this thread, or at least put warnings that it has been deprecated.

Yes, if it wouldn't be you would get a notification when upgrading to that version.

Thanks for the heads up, I've now changed the link in post two, however if you look at the repository:

The plugin was simply moved to the Unraid repository and you don't have to do anything on your side, the new repository was already pushed to the users on the last plugin update.

By reading the release notes which are presented when you upgrade:

https://docs.unraid.net/de/unraid-os/release-notes/7.2.2/#linux-kernel

However you also get a notification when upgrading if the driver was properly downloaded or not:

https://github.com/ich777/unraid-plugin_update_helper?tab=readme-ov-file#update-notifications

Thanks @ich777 . I will upgrade when I get a chance in the next few days.

I upgraded this morning and all looks well. My SageTV docker is able to tune channels from OTA and HD-PVR tuners/encoders.

Hi, I settled with tvheadend as it works just great with Kodi. Unfortunately nextpvr developer did not respond that he will fix bug, just gave some suggestions how to try to avoid the issue (but it did not help..). Anyway, everything is running fine and I wonder can I install some other DVB tuner? I also have MyGica device and I guess it will work with Openelec drivers, but how to make them both work? Not sure what selection of driver type does on settings page. Will it just install drivers or this is a selection which drivers it will use and there is no option to select both?

It will just install the selected drivers, issue with the drivers is that they are not 100% compatible with each other and therefore you can just install one of the four drivers.

However you can try to use the TBS driver since this driver includes also many other drivers in the package or you try the OpenELEC driver and see if these are working with your DVB cards.

I would recommend if you have issues, you create Diagnostics so that I can see what's going on in between testing drivers so that you have Diagnostics if it's not working to diagnose further.

Can anybody help i can't use my USB DVB Tuner and I have no idea to fix it.

Okay i will do this.

And m new with Unraid, I used before this stick only with a Linux Mint server.
Now I bought new device and want to try Unraid.

I came to this situation only why I add this lines to the go file.

So with these commands in your go file it is working?

For some cards it is necessary to add additional commands to your go file or in a modprobe.d file.

It works that the right driver is loaded and the device is detected but, after that I think It is important that the frontend driver binds the tuner. And this is not happen

i have no /dev/dvb/

And i m wondering about this output in the log its different to the working server

So is it now working or not, I'm not sure if I understand completely since you mentioned that it is working?

What brand is that tuner exactly or what is written on the DVB USB device? Some tuners need special treatment to work properly.

But we can try to get this stick working on both versions. I try every thing at the moment 🙈
