Tvheadend does not recognize card 6209

[SPiKeGoD]

Hi mates!

I have reset factory the TBS2951 and I have installed a 22.04 Ubuntu Server on the server

The tvheadend detects the TBS6909, TBS6522H, TBS6301 cards but not the TBS6209 card



The server detects the 4 cards:

Code: Select All Code

root@tbs2951:~$ lspci | grep TBS

06:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB Tuner PCIe Card
09:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB Tuner PCIe Card

No errors in dmesg:

The drivers were installed without problems (That steps: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki), in fact the other 3 cards are working perfectly

I have tried to reinstall the drivers and rebooted the TBS2951 but I got the same result, TBS6209 does not appear in TVHeadEnd

So... what am I doing wrongly?

Can you help me, please?

Thanks you much in advance!

Maybe tvh started before 6209 init end. Try restart tvh after reboot.

The solution was to delay the tvheadend boot

Disable auto tvheadend:

Code: Select All Code

sudo systemctl disable tvheadend

Create a script with the name: /root/startup-tvheadend.sh

Code: Select All Code

vi /root/startup-tvheadend.sh

With the content:

Code: Select All Code

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 && systemctl start tvheadend;

Give it execute permissions

Code: Select All Code

chmod +x /root/startup-tvheadend.sh

Edit crontab:

Code: Select All Code

crontab -e

Add the line:

Code: Select All Code

@reboot /root/startup-tvheadend.sh

Now it is working well

Thanks you @crazycat
