[TESTING] DVB improvements for Vero 4K

Testing
43

I’ve updated via My OSMC and I’m now on 3.14.29-68-osmc.

Plugging my DVB-S USB-device into the Vero4k results in these journalctl lines:

Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci-hcd
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0ccd, idProduct=0105
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: Product: TERRATEC USB Tuner
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Tevii
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher kernel: usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 000000031

dmesg | grep dvb prints nothing,lsusb says Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ccd:0105 TerraTec Electronic GmbH, but tvheadend doesn’t see any adapter.
Rebooting doesn’t help. At least no kernel crash anymore :slight_smile:

But these errors might be helpful (or are totally unrelated :stuck_out_tongue: )?

Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher systemd-modules-load[176]: Failed to find module 'amlvideodri'
Mär 17 12:38:04 fernseher systemd-modules-load[176]: Failed to find module 'meson-ir'

Update: no change with kernel 3.14.29-68-osmc

(systemd-modules-load didn’t fail now, so meson-ir got loaded now)

Cheers

I’ve now pushed some fixes for the video playback and remote fixes. This does mean that some DVB improvements had to be reverted; but we will resume the testing for this again shortly.

In the interim, I’d recommend updating, as this will restore some DVB functionality

Your kernel needs an update.

47

No change for me with 3.14.29-69-osmc (so, the same as what I wrote above for 3.14.29-68-osmc).

DVB-T2 is not possible again in this update, as it breaks so many other things.
I will resume the testing for this in a couple of days.

With 69 SD channels came back :grinning:

It appears that the latest update to Linux OSMCVero 3.14.29-69-osmc means that DVB-T service has returned with just the one adapter showing in Tvheadend:

Progress, of sorts… :slight_smile:

Hi!
I try the first one.
dmesg | grep dvb shows:

Hi

That’s correct.
We had some problems with the update over the weekend so had to revert some things. We will update this thread over the next couple of days.

Any news @sam_nazarko. A couple of days are long gone.

54

Last I heard, with media-build there’s an issue with meson-ir. Still being worked on.

55

Any realistic estimation when the OSMC-stick will be fully working with Vero 4K?

Yesterday I (again) tried it with latest Ubuntu installation, which works out of the box after manually copying the firmware file to the setup. Thus, I would expect it can’t be that difficult to get it also running with the legacy kernel.

56

It’s very difficult to do it without breaking things. We will revisit it shortly.

57

Any news on the DVB-T2 integration? Is it something to be tackled again within the next (April ?) update?

58

Not sure yet. This thread will be updated when we have some progress

Sam

It took a while, but I believe this is now resolved.
I’ll make a testing post shortly.
