MediaTV Pro III missing in TvHeadEnd

[Igor.Luhan]

Problem is that after installation the receiver is missing in TvHeadEnd, only DLNA is visible, see from TvHeadEnd:
TV adapters
  • Sundtek DLNA Server (Igor•System-Product-Name:enp6s0) - 192.168.2.18
    • SAT>IP DVB-C Tuner #1(192.168.2.18)
    • SAT>IP DVB-T Tuner #2 (192.168.2.18)
  • Sundtek DLNA Server (Igor-System-Product-Name:1o) - 127.0.0.1
    • SAT>IP DVB-C Tuner #1 (127.0.0.1)
    • SAT>IP DVB-T Tuner #2 (127.0.0.1)

Please help, I haven’t found any reasonable favor.

I have Ubuntu Linux 22.04.1 on Linux 5.15.0-48-generic on x86_64. Tried on 2 different computers with 2 different sticks MediaTV pro. I am sure both sticks are O.K., they work on Orange Pi  and Armbian. Installation is OK:
/opt/bin/mediaclient -e

To be sure there is no problem I allocated necessary rights to directories:
   sudo chown -R (me):(me) /opt/bin

   sudo chown -R (me):(me) /dev/dvb
It didn’t help.

Did you install the snap tvheadend package? This works slightly different.

Für Ubuntu  / For Ubuntu 22.04

Code: [Auswählen]

sudo -s
wget -qO - http://sundtek.de/ubuntu/public.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://sundtek.de/ubuntu/ jammy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install tvheadend

this installs the latest TVHeadend Version for Ubuntu 22.04 / Jammy, this version is not modified but installable without Snap. We're still monitoring snap, it just adds new restrictions to linux systems.
Aside of the new restrictions snap repositories are also insanely large, TVHeadend needs like 500MB as snap package, while the native tvheadend installation requires 50MB

Das ist die aktuellste Version von TVHeadend für Ubuntu 22.04 / Jammy, die Version wurde nicht modifiziert wird aber direkt installiert ohne Snap. Snap beobachten wir noch etwas.
Neben den neuen Restriktionen sind SNAP Pakete dann wohl auch noch sehr groß, TVHeadend benötigt 500MB als Snap Paket, während eine native Installation nur 50MB benötigt.

Unfortunately there is a problem, probably in a line starting with "echo". apt-get update gives a message
Garbled line 52 in /etc/apt/sources.list ([option] not assignment)
Unable to read resource list.

What is wroong?

[Sundtek]

Can you update your file here? /etc/apt/sources.list
I think you have a typo (you should have copy&paste the lines)

[Igor.Luhan]

That's not the problem. I copy/pasted the text with nano, it didn't help.

[Sundtek]

well upload your /etc/apt/sources.list here, we have tested this repository with 22.04 before.

I don't see anything bad there, we have set up 22.04 on our side for testing and it works properly, we even tested the repository with older ubuntu versions and it worked.

Maybe you can set up remote access so we can have a look at it.
