Help and Support

Hello.

As it mentioned on your website, I tried to update from RC1 to RC2 by Osmc settings with manual update, then by shell. Both are failed because of a package which can’t be install : Firmware-linux-non-free 0,43

Osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi

We ship our own firmware packages for WiFi and DVB firmware, so there’s no need to use the Debian one. If you tell me what firmware you want I can include it in the next release of OSMC.

Alternatively, I can suggest you drop it in /lib/firmware

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

I understand what you mean about firmware. But my question was about upgrading OSMC, not to install new firmware.
It’s true that i tried to install firmware by myself in /lib/firmware, to use EyeTV DTT deluxe Tuner with TVHeadEnd (question here). The failing of the upgrade may caused by these tests ?

What can i do to upgrade OSMC ? :-/

firmware for “ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle” would be nice.

i’ve use this for now on http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/IT9135/12.10.04.1/IT9135v2_3.42.3.3_3.29.3.3/95f5bfba12a88567d74856bec2ef0916/dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw

thanks.

to install many more dvb-firmware files do:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone GitHub - OpenELEC/dvb-firmware
cd dvb-firmware
sudo ./install

But you did try to install new firmware - you clearly installed the package “firmware-linux” either directly or indirectly - which is not installed as part of OSMC.

When you try to upgrade OSMC it will upgrade all packages that are installed - that includes 3rd party package you have installed such as firmware-linux. If those 3rd party packages fail to upgrade (due to a conflict with the package firmware-linux in this case) then the upgrade will also fail.

You need to remove the conflicting 3rd party firmware packages that you tried to install and then you will find that the upgrade will proceed.

That’s it ! Thanks for helped me…

Ok thanks…
I try to use an EyeTV DTT Deluxe but still can’t find the right FW…

Here is my dmesg :

The “as102_data1_st.hex” file i could find on the net wasn’t helpful :frowning:

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunatly, there is no firmware useful for EyeTV DTT Deluxe :frowning:

My dmesg still saying that :

[ 10.513828] DVB: registering new adapter (Elgato EyeTV DTT Deluxe)
[ 10.559732] usb 1-1.2: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Elgato EyeTV DTT Deluxe)…

Have you tried the firmware from this site ?
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/
In your dmesg output i can see you have no firmware for your device.

Hello,

Yes, i tried the firmware from this site.
I changed the device and choose EyeTV DTT Deluxe v1, which is compatible with the firmware from this site.
Now i try to find channels with TVHeadEnd :smiley:
