Hi all,

I have TBS6984 quad dvb-s2 tuner and I'm trying configure nim_sockets for using only tuner2. I readed some old posts and configured nim_sockets file but only first dvb-s2 tuner is working. May I ask someone for help? Thank you.

There is list of dvb devices:

$ ls /dev/dvb/
adapter0 adapter1 adapter2 adapter3

And my nim_sockets

NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: TUNER1
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 1

Hi,

do I understand you right, that you only want to use tuner2 and not 2 tuners?

If you want to use 2 tuners then you'll have to add a second entry. Something like this:

NIM Socket 0:
  Type: DVB-S2
  Name: T1
  Has_Outputs: no
  Frontend_Device: 0
 
NIM Socket 0:
  Type:DVB-S2
  Name: T2
  Has_Outputs: no
  Frontend_Device: 1

If you only want to use tuner2, I currently don't know a solution. Did you try this:

NIM Socket 1:
		Type: DVB-S2
		Name: TUNER1
		Has_Outputs: no
		Frontend_Device: 1

I tryed first configuration and i received this error:

StandardError: eDVBResourceManager::setFrontendSlotInformations .. assigned 4 socket informations, but 0 registered frontends!

Second configuration is also not working.
Do you have any other ideas?

When I used bellow configuration enigma started everything seems okay, but tuner B can't search programs with message on screen message "Error failed to scan" and in console "scan: allocating raw channel (on frontend 1) failed!"

My configuration:
NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner A
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

NIM Socket 1:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner B
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 1


There part of enigma startup log:

Try to use "Frontend_Device: 0" for both sockets.

[temporary]

Same errors like before.

"Error failed to scan" and in console "scan: allocating raw channel (on frontend 1) failed!"

I think that there is the problem. Why all four tuners using same name and config?

setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 0 to slotid 0, descr Tuner A, need rotorworkaround No, enabled No, DVB-S2 Yes
setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 0 to slotid 0, descr Tuner A, need rotorworkaround No, enabled No, DVB-S2 Yes

setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 0 to slotid 0, descr Tuner A, need rotorworkaround No, enabled No, DVB-S2 Yes

[betacentauri]

Yes, that looks curious.

Please create for all 4 tuners entries in the nim_sockets file.

[temporary]

Same situation with "Frontend_Device: 0" or numbered by tuner. I have not any other ideas to get work.

NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner A
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

NIM Socket 1:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner B
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

NIM Socket 2:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner C
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

NIM Socket 3:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Tuner D
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

[betacentauri]

Same situation with "Frontend_Device: 0" or numbered by tuner. I have not any other ideas to get work.

Me too. Hope that someone else can help.

Does the card work with other software(kaffeine, vdr,...)?

Just a info

Hi all,

after long and hard work, I have published a new version, which is merged with (almost) current openpli sources.
To get it, switch to branch openpli_merge:

git checkout openpli_merge

Warning:
- E2 freezes when no dvb card/stick is active or vtuner module and vtuner client is not running!! I'll try to fix it, because I don't like that. So please use this version only when you can watch TV with master branch.
- Sometimes it's not 100% stable. E.g. I cannot playback some (not all) of my old recordings. When I try to playback them, E2 freezes.

What should work:
- FTA channels work
- Recordings can be made and can be watched (see above warning regarding old recordings).

I cannot test scrambled channels. It should work. Would be great if someone can test it.

The sources are now much closer to openpli sources. Next merges should be easier.

Regards,
Betacentauri

Openpli-Merge shuts down when enable subtitles

[betacentauri]

Hi guys,

thanks very much for feedback!!

No make file in dvbsoftwareca

Damn... I deleted all Makefiles to have less differences between the sources. I thought all Makefiles were automatically created. I revert it in the next days. Until then please take Makefile out of other branch.

this is the satellites.xml from my dreambox 800 hd
whit this i can scan Thor and Sirius also

plays put this in /usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox

Do you mean me? Can I do it without impact for others?

Did it work with the master branch? What subtitles do you use? DVB subtitles?

Hi kerven,

please take /usr/local/e2 as INSTALL_E2PDIR. I have used /usr/local/e3 only for tests. And I forgot to revert it.
Back to your problem. Well, that's curious. I have no problems.
In the error message the path (/proc/stb/info/model) is wrong. That seems to be the problem. You can try to search for the string (find <path_to_e2_sources> | xargs grep "/proc/stb/info/model") and adapt it. I'll also try to find the problem in the next days.

Hello
I installed ENIGMA2 under Ubuntu 11.10 from github.com/nobody9/openpliPC
It works fine with uncrypted channels.

But I want to use it with OSCAM. I have OSCAM #6527 with a smargo reader.
I had a problem while making sudo modprobe dvbsoftwareca the dvbsoftwareca file is not present.
I have the right file misc in /lib/modules/3.0.0.12-generic directory
I used insmod dvbsoftwareca.ko instead of modprobe and when I do lsmod I see dvbsoftware used 2 times after loading Enigma2 and oscam.
Oscam descramble channels (' ecm founds ...' ), but I don't have any picture on Enigma2.

The terminal loggin :

adapter0/demux0 idx 0: change to even key
adapter0/demux0 idx 0: even key not ready (500 ms)
