VDR Plugin: no usable card found

  • Hi @all,


    this is my first post, because OMV is a great system and since now I got everything working as I wanted it to work, even by searching other threads ;)
    I'm using Linux/Debian only on my NAS, so I hope I can explain the steps I took clearly.


    I'm want to use an Edision DVB-T2/C USB stick to record TV and stream it to XMBC clients. According to other threads the driver of DVBsky T330 should work. So I installed them on my system (using the Backport Kernel 3.16).
    The Problem is, that the VDR-Plugin doesn't recognize the stick, I'm getting this message when trying to search for channels:




    For more information here's the in-/output:


    Code
    root@ZION:~# ls /dev/dvb

    I also tried installing TVHeadend according this thread. There the Stick is found, but it doesn't find any channels. I assume it's the same problem.
    Anybody out there who can help?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Additional info:
    There are to options building the driver for the stick. One for combined dvb-t/c use, one only for dvb-t. With the first TVHeadend only showd me the Stick as dvb-t device.
    In the VDR-Plugin it's the same problem.
    Currently i'm trying the second driver on a nearly clean system from a backup (only OMV-Plugins used), withTVHeadened removed.

  • Seems it will not be easy, when the commands ends it says there's nothing to scan:


  • Just as an information: From Kernel 3.19 on, the DVBsky T330 driver is included.


    Looks like your card is working and recognised but no channels are found. Do you want to use DVB-T or DVB-C? As you are scanning Cable, I guess DVB-C. Is your cable connected correctly? Did you use the right country code (you are in Germany? ;) )
    Have you tried a config from here?
    http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.…egorie:Channels.conf_DVBC


    Overwrite your channels.conf and then restart VDR.


    If you want to use w_scan, make sure you have the latest version.
    1) Download from here: http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html
    2) Compile

    Code
    cd $SOURCEDIR
    tar xfj w_scan-<version>.tar.bz2 && cd $SOURCEDIR/w_scan-<version>
    ./configure
    make
    make install


    3) Start with: ./w_scan_start.sh


    [edit]
    If you want to change interfaces of the card (DVB-T/C) you have to use dvb-fe-tool which is in dvb-tools package:
    dvb-fe-tool -d DVBC/ANNEX_A

  • Heyho,


    last time I gave up getting vdr to work.


    Now I'm on OMV 3.0 and giving it a next try ;)


    This time the problem seems to be somewehere else. I don't get a response from live and streamdev-plugin pages ("No site found"), VDRAdmin-AM tells me it couldn't get a connection to locahost and I should check svdrphosts.conf. I checked that file and allowed the correct machines.


    In VDR-Plugin I created a recording folder and set up correct read-write privilegs.


    Then I checked the syslog, this seems to be weird, have a look:


    The firmware seems not to be loaded but dmesg tells me:


    Code
    root@zion:~# dmesg | grep DVB
    [    1.573773] usb 1-1: Product: DVB-T2/C USB-Stick
    [    4.061008] usb 1-1: dvb_usb_v2: found a 'DVBSky T330' in warm state

    [    4.117806] usb 1-1: dvb_usb_v2: 'DVBSky T330' successfully initialized and connected


    Beside the firmwareproblem vdr seems not to work right (from what I see from the syslog).
    Does anybody have an idea how to get it working?
