Hej,
I have a Mac Mini running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. In it installed the Sundtek USB stick and installed the latest Mac OS X drivers. I have enabled network mode and set it to DVB-T mode.
I have a Linux server on another machine in the same network. The Linux machine is virtual, running in a VirtualBox. I installed the latest stable Linux driver on it. I am able to see the IPTV server running on the Mac OS X server. I can also mount the driver to the IPTV server. Everything looks correct on both machines.
However, when I start a frequency scan on the Linux server it all goes haywire. The scan simply hangs. When I break the scanning process, and want to try again it hangs again and fails. I cannot even unmount the IPTV server, as that is also hanging.
When I look in the mediasrv.log file on the IPTV server (Mac OS X) it prints a line every second that looks like this:
xxxxxx: Auto Bandwidth Select
On the IPTV server, I cannot even shutdown the driver. It also hangs. I can of course kill the "mediasrv" process, and then start over again.
I also tried connecting via the network to my trusted Linux server (physical machine) running MythTV. The tuner is working very will on that machine. Of course I stopped the MythTV backend to ensure the DVB tuner was not in use. The same happens there, when I try to connect from the Linux server running in VirtualBox.
The next thing I will try is to connect to a server with the Sundtek tuner in network-mode from a physical Linux server. That should confirm whether or not I have misunderstood something or if the problem lies with a server running in VirtualBox. Or maybe I'm not able to scan frequencies through networking mode and need to tune straight into a channel?
Has anyone tried this setup or similar, who can shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Greetz
