Dear Sundtek Support, forum members,

I can't get tvheadend to see my DVBC USB Stick.
The TV Adapters pull down menu stays empty no matter what.

Setup:

• Asus RT-N66U
• Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home III (DVB-C/T/T2)
• Sitecom CN-050 4 port USB HUB externally powered
• asuswrt-merlin
• entware

Hi,

did you compile tvheadend by yourself?

[K405]

Hi,

No I didn't.

Code: [Auswählen]

admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/mnt/MYPART/home/admin# opkg list|grep tvheadend
tvheadend - 3.4patch1-0.1 - Tvheadend is a TV streaming server for Linux supporting DVB, ATSC, IPTV, and Analog video (V4L) as input sources. Can be used as a backend to Showtime, XBMC and various other clients.

I have installed the driver using the net installer script with -admin in the end.

can you contact us via Skype-chat (sundtek) or our webchat http://chat.sundtek.de

Skype is preferred.

Well, it's been a nightmare so far..  

Bricked my RT-N66U trying to get DD-WRT installed. So that's gonna get RMA'd.
Switched to Rasberry Pi Model B+/OpenElec/TVHeadend, first results success!
But I understand running TVHeadend on Pi is too heavy for the Pi also had the Sundtek directly in the USB port but was getting the under-voltage Rainbow square.

So took an external powered USB HUB next hobby session but the DVB-C stick couldn't be found in XBMC anymore.  

So went over to a Windows laptop to give it a shot with media-portal 1.9.0 Pre Release. Installed the latest Windows drivers http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_driver_windows_mtvIII_2014-04-16.zip. Installs fine but media-portal TV server only sees type: DVB-T while I need DVB-C enabled.

Am I missing something?

Thanks again.

[K405]

I'm running media-portal on Windows 7 Ultimate and noticed that you need to run MePo TV-Server Configuration as administrator. Both DVB-T & DVB-C Sundtek tuners are then displayed.

Anyway my local computer store gave me a new ASUS RT-N66U as they couldn't recover the one I bricked either.. 

Flashed latest stable Merlin again. Will install entware again and come back here for help when I find the time as it should be possible to get it running with this setup and I really want to find out how well this HW combo will perform.

I removed my last answer, if you need any further assistance just contact us via Skype (sundtek).

Hello all,

Who can help me.

I install the sundtek on my asus rt-n66u but I have some problems.

What I did:

$ wget http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh
$ chmod 755 sundtek_netinst.sh
$ ./sundtek_netinst.sh admin

mediaclient --enablenetwork=on

now it works on my asus router, I can use my dreambox to connect it.

BUT the problem is, when I close my terminal session from my mac true my asus router the mediaclient stop and my dreambox don't have the connection true the stick.

When I do again the complete process it works again, tail I close my ssh connection from the asus and it stops.


 

[Sundtek]

did you solve your problem?

[michel30]

Hello,

No I did not.

It is running when I leave my ssh connection open with my mac, but when I exit my session than it stops also the dvb-c stick.

But when my terminal is open, than it works very good.

Regards,
Michel

[Sundtek]

how about this one?

Run the driver from the Merlin Firmware menu?

eg. if the driver is installed in /tmp/opt/bin

you can run it like this:
/tmp/opt/bin/mediasrv -d

-d will kick it into the background.


or this one if you are using dd-wrt:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Startup_Scripts

[michel30]

Hello,

Unfurttenly it not works

This is what I do:

Login with ssh on my asus router.

> wget http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh

> chmod 755 sundtek_netinst.sh

> ./sundtek_netinst.sh -admin

> mediaclient --enablenetwork=on &

Now my box have the connection with the stick.
When exit the ssh connection with the asus router, the box stops no screen any more from the dvb-c stick

I also try the first steps again and after that this command:

> /tmp/opt/bin/mediasrv -d

When exit the ssh connection with the asus router, the box stops no screen any more from the dvc-c stick

it works only when I do all first steps, without exit the console with my asus router ( ssh).

In your screenshot I see run cmd but on my asus router I don't have but you have also the merlin firmware in it.
