Hi, I'm having the same problem as you with the new update. I wrote to technical support and this is what they replied:

Did you read the comment two above yours? The driver is actually built and should work but I have no TBS hardware that I can test with.

Please post your Diagnostics, since without them I have nothing on hand to troubleshoot.

I just installed it and tested it. It seems that it is working as expected. Thanks!

The same for me. The new driver works! 👍

It‘s working as expected. Thank you, ich777!

I updated to 7.2.7 and my /dev/dvb device is not there anymore.

is this expected?

I waited till I got the notification that it is ready to reboot.

As always: without Diagnostics I can't say anything.

Sorry. The device shows up in lspci.

I chose the TBS-OpenSource and it did well in the last few years. :-)

You have to switch over to the LibreELEC drivers please since TBS are now the closed source drivers, I haven't got time yet to change the plugin page yet.

I am not sure LibreELEC supports my card.

I installed it and no /dev/dvb shows up :-(

Issue with all of that is that the closed source TBS driver now only supports their products and not as it was before almost the whole spectrum of DVB cards out there.

It seems that the TBS-OpenSource variant, is not actively supported anymore which had supported your card (which is a out of tree card it seems) and doesn't compile against newer Kernels therefore it doesn't work anymore.

I have only two options for you:

• Downgrade

• Buy a new TV card

Sorry that I don't have better news but since the Open Source driver doesn't compile against newer Kernels I can't help.

I am not entirely sure which card it is exactly (I am currently abroad) unfortunately but I am pretty sure it is a TBS card.

Is there a way to try the closed source drivers? (even if it doesnt align with your stance on linux and open-source software)

Yes, by installing the TBS drivers, if it doesn't work your card is maybe not supported anymore.

They dropped a few older cards from the support list IIRC.

is there a chance that the old open source drivers get edited so they can be compiled against newer kernels?

I don't know, maybe but it seems nobody touched it since 10 months: https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build

Any idea on which cards have been dropped? Im currently on v7.2.6 and a not sure if I should upgrade to v7.3.0 without knowing if the TBS6909 will work with the upgrade closed source driver.

Cheers

Try it, you should always be able to downgrade.

will you provide the TBS closed source drivers in your plugin?
I've got a TBS card and its only supported on the closed source drivers.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if I understand, the TBS-OS drivers are now the closed source drivers.

Thanks Christoph! it's working after reinstall.

I'm at home again, and found out i have a TBS6982.

So for me there is no way this will work ever again with modern versions of linux, right?

My only way forward is to make a VM and passthrough the card I think. :-(

Or write the support from TBS.

I'm not 100% sure if this card is supported because I can't find any information which devices are supported in the closed source driver.

Hello,

I have recently bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-935 and I'm trying to get it to work.

I installed the DVB-Driver plugin and went through all the 4 packages available with no luck at all.

Here is the dmesg output that i'm getting:

[ 505.655019] em28xx 1-3:1.0: New device HCW HVR-935 Audio @ 480 Mbps (2040:8360, interface 0, class 0)

[ 506.317905] em28xx 1-3:1.0: failed to pre-allocate USB transfer buffers for DVB.

Is there any solution to this issue currently that i might try ?

Thank you

Please post your Diagnostics after you've installed the LibreELEC driver and a reboot.
