DVB-T adapter doesn't work on Vero 4k

[danialbehzadi]

Not fixed in June 2017 update

[sam_nazarko]

Indeed – working on it. Annoying issue.

[sam_nazarko]

Try this – should work:

wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdnoarzq1jkd437/armv7-tvheadend-app-osmc.deb?dl=1​" -O tvh.deb
sudo dpkg -i tvh.deb
reboot

This patches frontend.h to fix the 32->64-bit pointer, but breaks
Pi and other platforms, so I need to think of a better approach.

I t worked on Afatech DVB-T successfully.

Whoa, shouldn’t this fix the remaining adapters with ioctl issues as well?

Cheers

[sam_nazarko]

It does

[danialbehzadi]

The link is not valid now. Can you upload it again?

[sam_nazarko]

I’ve sent you a message with a new build.

Just curious: are there changes in this “new build” that are relevant to the Kernel modules missing for the PCTV 292e DVB stick - #58 by sam_nazarko issue? Should I give it a spin?

Cheers

[sam_nazarko]

No – this was just a TVHeadend change. Same as before

I will merge those changes now so they are publicly available.

hi there,

would this solve my issue as well?

DVB-T Astrometa

Hi again, I return the DVB-T dongle i bought and got another one that I was hoping supporting Linux better. I got the Astrometa DVB-T2 (Realtek and Panasonic) which reading a bit on internet should work pretty good on Linux. I tried but still dont manage to get TVheadend to see the adapters. What I see in the logs it seems that it loads correctly even though i dont find it in \dev (but then im no way an expert in this). is there anything i missed? I have tried rebooting, taking out the dongle, …

in that case would it be necessary to do an update?

Thanks

[sam_nazarko]

I expect to make a post about DVB improvements later today.

Hi,

Please see this post:

[TESTING] Support for DVB adapters

Hi, For some time we’ve been struggling to get DVB support to work properly on the Vero 4K. Fortunately, we’ve now made some progress. Further, there’s no longer any need to patch TVHeadend or any userspace application; as the ioctl compatibility support is wholely in kernel. This means you can use any tools like w_scan etc without having to recompile them for the Vero 4K. It seems that the media_build backports from 4.4 wasn’t reliable. Instead, we’ve chosen to get most adapters working, ra…

[anbodearg]

did you run the sundtek.sh script which installs the drivers?

$ wget http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh
$ chmod 777 sundtek_netinst.sh
$ sudo ./sundtek_netinst.sh

[inahike]

yes

[inahike]

I see from streaming server http: // localhost: 22000 adapter and can scan channels but from tvheadend nothing…

[grahamh]

You seem to be going about it in a complicated way. Apart from installing sundtek drivers, (which may or may not be needed) you should be just installing tvheadend from the AppStore. It then runs automatically under user osmc. Did you try that first?

[inahike]

which version tvheadend is on vero4 64bit or 32 bit someone using sundtek with vero4?
Maybe is a problem with the mixture of 64bit kernel and 32bit user space.

[sam_nazarko]

No — because Sundtek avoid kernel space drivers
