Since the last update the usbtv driver for the Fushicai USBTV007 grabber fails to load:

# modprobe usbtv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'usbtv': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

[219016.325902] videobuf2_memops: Unknown symbol put_vaddr_frames (err 0)
[219016.325924] videobuf2_memops: Unknown symbol get_vaddr_frames (err 0)
[219016.325939] videobuf2_memops: Unknown symbol frame_vector_destroy (err 0)
[219016.325954] videobuf2_memops: Unknown symbol frame_vector_create (err 0)

Can you please investigate?

I saw this issue with some modules, but couldn’t work out a solution to this problem.

However in my testing I could not find a used module affected by this so didn’t investigate further.

This could be very difficult to fix, but I will look in to this on Thursday.

Thanks Sam,

it’s a bit annoying as my Hyperion depends on the grabber. Since the issues with the AML-grabber which causes problems with audio-video sync I’ve switched to the V4L-grabber to solve this. No ambilights until this is fixed :frowning:

Hi Sam,

any progress on this? I found some similar issues while googling but didn’t find a solution.

I need to revisit this again now media_build improvement dust has settled.

Hi

Hopefully the issue is now addressed with the following commit:

I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
  4. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  5. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.

Thanks for your patience!

Sam

No problems. Vacation, pesky bug… but it’s fixed!

Took a little bit of time to work out the GUP flags and kvmalloc calls.

Glad it’s all working now.

Once you’re used to Ambilight it’s a step back without it. So really happy it’s working again.
