Hi all,
I received my new Sundtek media pro this morning, but the installation process hasn't gone as expected. Instead of the long list of device capabilities I get this:
mark@mingus:/opt/bin
$ ./mediaclient -e
**** List of Media Hardware Devices ****
device 0: [ Sundtek MediaTV Pro] REMOTE-CONTROL
[REMOTECONTROL]:
INPUT0: /dev/mediainput0
mark@mingus:/opt/bin
$ uname -a
Linux mingus 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:49:34 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
It's almost as if the device is switched off or something. I tried installing the battery in the remote control and pressing the power button a few times, but that didn't have any effect.
thanks!

Some systems seem to start the driver twice, we're evaluating why this is happening. Someone already reported the same problem with Sidux (which is similar to Ubuntu and also based on Debian)
What you can do till the next update arrives (which should be in a couple of days):
-- unplug the device --
sudo killall mediasrv
-- plug in the device (wait 5-10 seconds till the device is settled) --
/opt/bin/mediaclient -e
-
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help. There's only one mediasrv process running now, but mediaclient -e still produces the same result. mediaclient --Verbose produces a segfault, so that's not helping.
Also is there a way to simulate unplugging the device remotely? My media machine is at home and I'm at work right now.
-
We are currently testing a new version of it and expect to release a new version this afternoon. The issue is mainly a udev problem.
-
OK. Thanks very much!
-
http://www.sundtek.de/support/empia_installer.sh (always points to the latest driver version, at this time it points to empia_installer_090916.sh) should solve that issue now, the official driver section will be updated soon.
-
Unfortunately it didn't actually help. I'll experiment a bit to see if I can get it to work.

You don't seem to have a default Ubuntu installation.
please try to run the installer in a bash environment/terminal
can you try to replug the device?
-
It's pretty standard. The first time I ran it with sh which is actually dash, and of course that didn't work. Here's what happens if I set the executable bits:
mark@carlin:~
$ chmod a+x empia_installer_090916.sh
mark@carlin:~
$ ./empia_installer_090916.sh -u
In order to install this driver please run it as root
eg. $ sudo ./empia_installer_090916.sh
mark@carlin:~
$ sudo ./empia_installer_090916.sh -u

Sorry, I meant to include in the previous post that I'll try replugging the device when I get home from work, I'm doing this remotely for now.
-
If you are still having issues after replugging the device, please send /var/log/mediasrv.log to kontakt at sundtek de, and we might give you some remote support.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop on a ASRock ION 330 - I think I have a HW-Version2 USB-Stick (ordered in September 2009)

Please use following driver, there have been very few devices with a different configuration which was not taken care about in the previous driver releases:
http://www.sundtek.de/support/empia_installer.sh (which at this time points to empia_installer_090917.sh)

Thanks again for solving this so quickly!
