Setup: unRAID 6.2.4 w/ Open Source drivers.

Issue: Scanning the DVB-C source, no information back from TVHeadend.
Action 1: Reverted to a Windows 10 machine, running NextPVR on the same card, same settings - and it worked, pulling down several hundred channels.

Action 2: Reverted to unRAID 6.2.4 compiled with the TBS Official DVB-C drivers and retried. Success. Same amount of channels have been retrieved as per the Windows instance.

Conclusion: So, there's some kind of bug in the open source drivers for the TBS 6285 card in DVB-C mode. The error messages consistently stated a Poll Timeout.

Additional Info:
Frequency of Mux: 571000000
Symbol Rate: 6952000
Delivery: DVB-C

Drivers - latest used as of 23/12/2016.

I'm now running unRAID 6.2.4 with the TBS Official drivers for over 24 hours it's solid, but it's not a continuing solution for me, as I will also be putting some DVB-S signals in there and I'm not sure if the DVB-C drivers will work with the DVB-S.

So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to implement the Open Source drivers and have them work with a DVB-C source and also with a DVB-S and DVB-T, I'd be most grateful.

1: I have a mix of cards in my server 6905, 6909, 6985.
I have a total of 8 tbs 6985 tuners. 2 x cards as you can see only 1 is registering.
2: In astra cesbo the TBS 6985 is not showing the correct Signal / BER
3: Also the frontend does not stay in order on reboots.
How to fix these issues? Thank you

Hi,

I installed the latest open source drivers but TBS6909 works very unstable. Lots of "TS discontinuity" errors. If I lock to the same frequency using TBS6905 or TBS6910 no errors at all.

Then I switch back to closed source drivers v160219 and TBS6909 works fine.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (64 Bit)
Kernel: 4.4.0-42-generic
DVBlast 3.0

I have two TBS6522 and two TBS6528, I can't make them tune into an ISDBT channel in Linux.

I tried installing them on 5 different machines with fresh Ubuntu and CentOS install, and with different kernels going from 3.10 to 4.4.

Using kernel 4.4 and Ubuntu the driver was able to register the adapters and frontends but is unable to tune/lock into any frequency.

Linux localhost 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here I'm using dvbv5-zap, but I tried with several other tools and all of them get the same result.

$ dvbv5-zap -c channel.conf "EPTV Campinas" -P -r
$ cat /etc/var/syslog
...

kernel: [ 5977.721033] si2183 0-0067: set_params failed=-22
...

When I use scan I get an "tuning failed" error. I also executed with the dvb-fe-tool -d ISDBT command.
I never worked with linux drivers but if someone can point where I have to look, maybe I can find the problem...

Hi,

I have the same issues as seen in #16 but for TBS6991SE and only for some channels such as: AutoMotorSport HD on S16E0 11470 V 30000. I get around 500-600 discontinuities per second.
The same channels tunned on a 6909 works without any issues.

MOI Pro AMD, FW: 2.0.0.1
OS: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511
Kernel: 4.4.19-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
DVBlast 3.1

Here in New Zealand, we have only one real satellite source, Optus D1, and all the transponders on it that are used for free-to-air channels (Freeview) or pay channels (Sky TV) are transmitted from it using horizontal polarisation. Our receiving dishes are normally using just a single local oscillator - that is what Sky TV installs when you sign up with them and also what most third party installers use. The latest dish variant (which I have) has two LNBs, so that Sky can sell you a second set-top box without having to change the dish. So I currently have one LNB connected to my STB, and the other to a splitter and then to two DVB-S2 tuners in my MythTV PC. I have bought a TBS6909 8 tuner DVB-S2 card to replace the two separate DVB-S2 tuners, but if I use the current drivers in mode=1, I would have to provide a signal on all four of the card's inputs. To do that, I would need to split the signal in a 4-way splitter, which might cause the signal level to be too low for good reception. Since the MXL5xx chip used on the TBS6909 allows internal mapping of the inputs to the tuner pairs, I thought it would be much better if I could just modify the drivers to allow me to use a single input to run all 8 tuners. When I looked at the mxl5xx.c file, I found that was in fact pretty easy to do, and I now have it working. There is an additional "inputs" parameter on the mxl5xx driver which allows assigning of the inputs to the tuner pairs when using mode=1, but defaults to the current mode=1 setup if it is missing:

6909 lower signal.

Test channel = Channel 5 using Astra Cesbo
Card 6909 Signal = 53% SNR = 50%
Card 6905 Signal = 62% SNR = 50%
The SNR is the same and the signal is a about 10% less on the 6909
Now the difference in signal is that due to the Card Tuner model or the Driver?
Thank you

Hi I been using ubuntu 14>04 but i am going to change to Centos 6 for stability.
Does the same commands work on centos as i have never used the os before.
Thank you.

It's not possible to compile drivers with kernel 4.8 it looks like that dma attributes change from structure to unsigned int.

Hi

Tried a reinstall today on Ubuntu 16.04. Make fails with the following:

Hello.
I have just upgraded with 2 x 6909 and 2 x 6905
With the 6905 I get TBSECP3 frontend 0 attach failed - TBSECP3 frontend 1 attach failed
I tried with a spare 6905 card and same error so i know the card is not faulty.
Please see screen shot, any idea how to fix?
Thank you.

Hello
I have TBS 6205 and 6209 insttaled with latest driver .. But DVB-C not work .. i can use only DVB-T ..
any idea

I have system with multiple cards
1 x tbs 6909 Octo
1 x tbs 6985 quad

I have installed latest version drivers but only octo card shows,
I install tbs v161031.zip drivers and both cards appear.

Hi,

Building and Installation went fine,
and driver seems to work ok.

But the logs get spammed with messages like this (about every second five lines):

dvb_demux: dvb_dmx_swfilter_section_packet: dvb_demux.c discontinuity detected 184 bytes lost

Cheers,
Max

Hi,
I'm using Debian with Kernel 4.8.0-2 and tried to install this driver as described in the wiki.
However, I just get a message that patches could not be applied when I run 'make'.

Using the 'master'-branch instead of 'latest' seems to work, as I can compile and install, but when I run 'make reload' a big proportion of the modules does not exist.
Especially when i run 'modprobe saa716x_budget int_type=1' the module does not exist.

Is it possible to add support for the TBS 5680 DVB-C USB Tuner? I ask nicely on my knees :)

Currently using LibreELEC 7.95.1 and it would be lovely to be able to use the 5680 out-of-the-box with their releases in the future. Log (dmesg) of the non-detected 5680 here: http://pastebin.com/JwybV0wa

Since the driver installer replaces the media subsystem of the kernel anyway, can DVB-S2X Support added without too much hassle? As i understand it, this would mean adding new types of mudulation, rolloff and FEC values but no changes to the base DVB-S2 system.

Never used centos before and thinking of changing over from ubuntu as i am looking for a stable server for IPTV - will the centos 7 instructions work on centos 6? Thank you.

I need to compile tbs drivers on ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-41-generic, can someone help me solve this issue?

Hi.
I have a server that i changed from ubuntu to centos as ubuntu always updates the kernal
I am unable to get it installed on centos using the guide.
Is there anything extra i need to install or add to get it installed?
Thank you

I am using a tbs5281 dual usb tuner alongside two tbs5220 usb sticks in a dvr system. This setup was working fine, with 4 adapters showing up as expected under /dev/dvb.

Updated to latest git and now only the two 5220s show up under /dev/dvb and in tvheadend (and work fine). However the 5281 now shows up under /dev/v4l and is not detected in tvheadend.

TBS6290SE is already supported, but TBS6290 is a little cheaper.
What's the difference between this two model?
Is TBS6290 deprecated?
I'd like to buy TBS6290 and write the driver code for it as an exercise if this task is easy.

Hello Guys,

Is there a faster way to get media tree after kernel update, than a script that checks the right folders and starts compiling if neccessary?
I've read in other forums, the media tree is too big for dkms.

If I use the proprietary TBS driver everything works correctly. Could somebody help to me?

BR,
Schneci

I use 2 x 6205 tuner's connected to the pci slots of Asus z270g motherboard and i am using ubuntu server 16.04 with last open source drivers compiled from git.

The backend i am using with those driver's is tvheadend, and it works really good with total number of tuners of first 6205 but as soon as it keeps start using the tuners from the second 6205, i get tuner failed, and continuity errors.

Any ideas?

linux-4.12-rc1: saa716x failes to build due to

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9667025/

Failing with:

drivers/media/pci/saa716x/saa716x_pci.c:46:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pci_enable_msix’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
ret = pci_enable_msix(pdev, saa716x->msix_entries, SAA716x_MSI_MAX_VECTORS);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obviously, there are quite a few more places where the build should fail, if it continued after the first failure.

I really hope that you guys can patch saa716x so it can live past linux-4.12.x.
Kind regards,
Tycho.

Hi. @crazycat69

Hello,

TBS6909 is in multiswitch mode (mode 0). It can lock to different satellites (-S 2, -S 3, -S 4) when the frequency is low (<11700 MHz). However when a high frequency (>11700) is entered, -S parameter is ignored and the adapter tries to lock with -S 1.

Launching again femon -H after that makes the command just being stuck.

Could someone help ?

How do I tell what version driver am I running?
I know I can update, but it would be nice to know what version I am running.
No need to update if i have the latest already installed.
Thank you.

The mn88436 on the TBS6704 always returns 0 for signal strength. Both DMD_USR_IFAGCMON1 and DMD_USR_IFAGCMON1 return 0. Is this a byproduct of how the mn88436 and mxl603 are connected ( no agc feedback )? As in signal strength is just not available?

Thanks

I'm using the TBS8152 dvb-c USB module with Tvheadend 4.2 in Libreelec 8.0.0 environment. This Libreelec version uses the Linux 4.9.8 version.

I would like to sleep the system is used by Kodi Krypton suspend power-off option, but the system is freezed. If I have disconnected the USB modul from system the suspend process has worked correctly.
In next step I have rebooted and reconnected the USB hardware to Libreelec and I have tested the cx231xx module dependency tree by lsmod command:

lsmod | grep cx
cx231xx_dvb_ci         14873  0

rc_core                17350  4 `imon,rc_imon_pad,cx231xx

If I try to remove cx231xx dvb driver by using rmmod before suspend, it has sent the following message:

rmmod cx231xx
rmmod: ERROR: Module cx231xx is in use by: cx231xx_dvb_ci

After this I try to remove the cx231xx_dvb_ci driver, but rmmod sent a Killed message and after this doesn't removed the module:

rmmod cx231xx_dvb_ci
Killed

I think it doesn't normal message, may be it is a Linux kernel modul problem.

Can somebody help me?

PS: I'm sending some additional information:

Hello,

In the TBS (not open source) you do "modprobe tbs_pcie-dvb" to load 6909.
But what do you run in in there open source one?

modprobe tbs_pcie-dvb
modprobe: FATAL: Module tbs_pcie-dvb not found.

Hello all,

Yesterday I just compile these nice TBS open source drivers the card works ok, but my SMIT module is not recognized.

dmesg log says:

dvb_ca_en50221: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM link initialisation failed :(

uname -r
4.4.56-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

With original closed TBS drivers CI works good.

At your own risk. No support.

I am using an TBS 6982 with TVheadend on Debian Stretch with the latest kernel 4.9.
I'm using the latest version of this driver.
However, compared to an older version from 08/2016 with Kernel 4.6, I got significantly slower channel switching (about 10 seconds).

I could not find any hints on the cause of these very high switching times. Is this a known problem?
