I'm testing the 2 tuners I own on the HD51 with today's image but this issue has been around for a few weeks now.

 

The identical issue also exists on OpenATV and OpenViX both of which I have tested which I guess is because both incorporate alot of pli stuff.

 

With my testing this issue also affects the other boxes I'm able to test which are the Solo 4k and the Octagon SF4008 of which I was able to test with the SDG image.

 

Let me know if I can help further.

 

This one installs ok but the tuner is not recognised by the system at all

The second also seems to install ok and is recognised by the system but stops the internal tunerA from working.

[athoik]

Hi,

First of all the SF4008 will not display a tuner in the list, since drivers do not implement the vtuner yet.

The dvbsky on hd51 seems to have problems loading the firmware or firmware misses.

[   19.159465] si2157 1-0060: Direct firmware load for dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw failed with error -2

The em28xx on hd51, doesn't show any error (at least on the part of dmesg you have choosen to copy/paste).

I suggest to provide full dmesg with em28xx, after rebooting hd51.

Also provide the following commands (the first required to install dvb-fe-tool not installed by default).

opkg update && opkg install v4l-utils 

dvb-fe-tool -a1
find /dev/dvb/adapter*
cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets

[jakey]

Hi athoik and thanks for looking

 

So far my testing was only on ARM boxes so today I also tested on VU Zero and the same problem exists.

Info from https://www.linuxtv....Stick_T2_(292e) shows you are missing depends.

Try those and provide new dmesg.

All installed ok but internal tuner A is non-functional and USB tuner still not recognised.

Just to add removing USB tuner re-enables internal tuner A

[athoik]

I think the problem is that you are making use of incompatible USB sticks or you are not spending time to install the missing dependencies.

Here is Tuner C working(usb Hauppauge WinTV-MiniStick siano)

Displayed on Tuners

 2tuner.jpg   64.35KB   13 downloads

Also Tuner A working without issues...

 3tunerA.jpg   84.9KB   13 downloads


A quick (and dirty workaround), is to download ALL kernel modules (opkg install kernel-modules) and see if tuner works!


PS. I am testing using OpenPLi 5, that features a newer kernel on hd51 & friends.

[jakey]

What do you mean by "making use of incompatible USB sticks" ? These tuners have worked for years in all images and surely dependencies should be installed with drivers ?  At least that's what usually happens.

 

And what about the same problem on mips as I tested Vu Zero today ?

 

All kernel modules installed, tuner A now functional but USB tuner still not recognised.

[athoik]

The link above says: available since 3.16 !!!

All VU+ products have kernel < 3.16

I do not have any of your tuners, so I cannot provide any further help.

Your boxes support pluggable onboard tuners, so better use one.

[jakey]

What a very strange suggestion, USB tuners are usually used to supplement onboard tuners.

 

I don't give a damn about these tuners personally as |I can get by without, just trying to help but heyho time to move on.

[WanWizard]

I think everyone is aware of why USB tuners are used. They are a cheap supplement.

 

Unfortunately, cheap comes with poor support and high CPU usage, so if you want a reliable box, don't use USB tuners. If the stick doesn't work, it is not compatible. We're not a fan of USB sticks, because of the poor support, so looking for and testing driver patches to get them to work is not our priority. The community is welcome to pick up this task, and provide us with the patches required, so if you want to help... 

[jakey]

Stlill a strange suggestion from athoik considering athoik he so much time and effort into the TBS5925 USB tuner 

 

Sundtek tuners work very well for me thank you very much. I'll put the others into my satellite junk box and move on.

 

If these tuners mentioned are no longer supported then remove the drivers from the feeds and save others some frustration, simples

Edited by jakey, 27 March 2017 - 22:31.

[athoik]

TBS did something that normal tuners did not (back then), but TBS support is nowhere (or at least is where peter-pan lives).

It doesnt worth spending time, on normal dvb-t tuners, tuners I don't own my self.

Nobody forces you to follow my suggestion. Take it or leave it.

At least, i took some time to help you and provide you an option. No need to complain. No need to make noise.

If you find something, share it or wait until some good samaritan helps you.

[jakey]

I'm not complaining or a making a noise, I'm also sorry I spent my time on these tuners,  I don't need or use them so don't think I was reporting for myself but thought it might help others, I test for no other reason than I already own them.

 

If no body else gives a damn then neither do I and sorry I posted 

[WTE]

I have DVBSKY T230 which works on all mutant model excellent, second I have Geniatech T330 which works good on HD51 but less on other models. Sundtek I have always trouble and works not ok by me.

TBS5520se is not yet support in linux kernel. So cannot test yet.

[WTE]

full dmesg below

 

Please use pli image log, your log is from different image.

[Lavaman]

With the DVBSky T330 tuner and HD51 (which as you say can cause an issue with receivers own PnP tuner modules) then use this tuner in the USB3.0 port only and you should find all works well then.

If you have any issue with our unit just contact us. As everyone knows we support our units directly for 10 years now. So far no problem is known on the mutant.

The last Mutant related update disabled the infrared controller on our tuner because Mutant picked up the infrared commands from our tuner which finally resulted in 2 infrared control commands (one from the settopbox itself and one from our tuner).

Is there a new kernel update for the TBS5520SE driver?
