A friend with VU solo have this usb tuner which was working ok on Black hole image. Now I installed him openpli RC6 but the tuner is not recognized any more.

Same tuner on my VU Zero with RC6 works fine. 

 

What can be the problem?

Key line is

usb 1-1: dvb_usb_rtl28xxu: unknown tuner=NONE

The solo runs an other kernel than the zero, so it could well be it needs a patch to make it work. I've seen Xtrend using the Gennari patch on their older kernels.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

If a kernel needs patching, the BSP needs to be modified, which is the job of VU+, we don't maintain it.

 

But I can't say for sure, this isn't my area of expertise, someone with more kernel experience should have a look at it. We don't advocate the use of USB tuners, and don't have any, so for us it is a bit of guess work.

Is not kernel related as those are supported by out of tree drivers

Have been trying different images but only BlackHole  (Kernel 3.9.6) is able to recognize this USB Tuner.

Any chance for a fix please?

Just an update to this old thread.

 

I updated a Vu+ Solo2 from OpenPLi 4 to 6.2 today. DVB-T USB RTL28xx tuner wasn't recognised after the update. I uninstalled then reinstalled the driver from the feeds, and it now works well.
