TVheadend doesn't display device after initial scan

[fullcorn]

Hey there,

I'm trying to use the MediaTV stick (Non Pro) for DVB-C with TVheadend (2.13~git20120305.0664329) as teh backend and XBMC (11) as a frontend on Ubuntu 12.04.

I installed the stick with this:

$ wget http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh
$ chmod 777 sundtek_netinst.sh
$ sudo ./sundtek_netinst.sh

which made teh stick appear in TVheadend, And I also did a scan and also found quite a couple of stations.

But now there's no device listed any more under TV adapters. Also if you try to play a channel it says:

No transponder available for subscription "HTTP" to channel

$ /opt/bin/mediaclient --lc gives me this output:

**** List of Media Clients ****
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:
  2251 ... tvheadend
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0:
  2251 ... tvheadend
/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0:
  No client connected
/dev/mediainput0:
  No client connected

When starting TVheadend from terminal this is the output:

[INFO]:dvb: Found adapter /dev/dvb/adapter0 (Sundtek DVB-C (0/0)) via PCI
[INFO]:dvr: Creating new configuration ''
[WARNING]:dvr: Output directory for video recording is not yet configured for DVR configuration "". Defaulting to to "/home/tv/Videos". This can be changed from the web user interface.

[INFO]:AVAHI: Service 'Tvheadend' successfully established.



I don't really understand why it doesn't work.

Could anybody point me in the right direction please?

According to /opt/bin/mediaclient --lc your TVHeadend setup is already using the TV Tuner, maybe try to restart your PC and retry?

Difficult to say what's going on on your side without more information.

You write you start it from terminal, maybe another session is interfering?

thank you for the reply.

I tried rebooting the system, but it's the same.

actually I restartet tvheadend with with "tvheadend restart".

What is also strange, if I end TVheadend, and nothing is using the stick - Kaffine doesn't even see the stick.

What information can I provide to help you help me ? I'm not really a "tuxpert", so I don't really know where to look.

For Ubuntu you can try those Kaffeine versions:

AMD64:

X86:

For TVHeadend, you need to enable the scanned transponders or map it.
The TV Tuner should definitely still be visible under adapters, to verify that just run /opt/bin/mediaclient --lc (lc stands for list clients).

Thank you for the reply. Kaffiene works now in the meantime!

Also tvheadend - the problem is that the serivce gets started before the USB stick is recognized. it works when I stop the service and start it manually again (restart actaully only starts a new instance)

By chance, does anyone have an idea how to postpone the start of tvheadend?

The driver has hooks for starting applications once a device is available:

Code: [Auswählen]

echo device_attach=/usr/bin/restarttvh.sh > /etc/sundtek.conf


/usr/bin/restarttvh.sh

Code: [Auswählen]

#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/tvheadend restart

chmod 777 /usr/bin/restarttvh.sh

wow, what a cool idea!

When I enter the first line, it says that "bash: /etc/sundtek.conf: Permission denied" even when I put sudo in front of the command. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

never mind, I found it out - need to be root...
