Hi!

I'm on Karmic Koala with the latest drivers (091009). When running:


--- Code: ---w_scan -f c -c SE > channels.conf.dvbc
--- Ende Code ---

I'm getting this error message:

Sundtek:
Our DVB API was a little bit out of sync with the official DVB API, it's now up to date and the version retrieval is now also supported. We added the update to 091009, you might download and install the driver again and it will work.

Lobo:
I have this problem too, with the latest drivers.

I can't add any channels in Tvheadend.
I only get the following result on channels that should be free (in this case TV5 Monde):

--- Code: ---Apr 07 17:18:57 serviceprobe: TV5 Monde: skipped: Sensed input from hardware but nothing for the service
--- Ende Code ---

Sundtek:
your Distribution is not correctly installed (or at least there's a bug with the dvb headers).

you can try to lower the API Version with following command:


--- Zitat ---/opt/bin/mediaclient --setver=5.0

--- Ende Zitat ---

and retry with w_scan, w_scan was packaged for the DVB API version 5.0, but our driver by default provides API support for the DVB API 5.1, it tries to detect lower versions which works with correct systems, for incorrect systems it can be set manually

what distribution do you use?

In case of tvheadend you can also ask in the tvheadend IRC channel on freenode.net where tvheadend developers and users give support to other tvheadend users we are watching it and try to help out too.

Lobo:
I installed XBMC-Live 9.11, so it should be Ubuntu 9.10, I guess.

What would I lose on lowering the API version?

Any suggestions on how to fix my system, rather than trying to go around my problem? I kind of dislike those solutions. :)

I issued the command you suggested, and w-scan scans, however, Tvheadend now gives me the following:


--- Code: ---Apr 07 18:55:01 serviceprobe:            TV5 Monde: checking...

--- Ende Code ---
