Good News,Open source code for TBS Card has been released

[jd678]

Another fork!

Any plans to get this mainlined? Would be a bit of work yes, but it's going to be just as much work to keep merging from upstream every now and again. From experience this isn't always a quick task!

Last time I dove into the saa716x code it didn't look like it needed much more than fixing it up to make checkpatch happy and converting the debug printk's to dynamic debug.

G'day,

Does not work for my TBS6981

Compiles OK (I think) but does not seem to do anything.

Been 3 years now and I still can;t get it to work with my mythtv box.

[email protected]:~/media_build# lspci
<snip>
01:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 04)

I would have expected to see a module with cx23885 in the name but could not find anything.

I noted that during install I had:

Removing obsolete files from /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx23885:
cx23885.ko

but it does not seem to have build a new one.

After a reboot (don't likt rebooting) I would have expected to see a /dev/dvb dir, but nope:
[email protected]:~/media_build# ls /dev/dvb
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory

So any ideas?

I saw somewhere about PCI-E 3 being an issue, but my MB is PCI-E 2

Cx23885 module disabled because depend from many frontend drivers what require kernels 3.8+.

https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/b ... 85/Kconfig

So better update to latest available LTS kernel, for ubuntu 12.04LTS possible install 3.13

G'day Crazycat,

Many thanks, I am on 2.6.39 for my mythtv box and the box this is in is on 3.2.0.

Well, I have only had it 6 years, maybe in the next 6 someone can create some code to make it work.

I second this. Is it on the cards at all? Sure would love to simplify updates on my dvr box.

Today I would compile the new driver.
I need LIRC to use my Remote Control in my HTPC for VDR and KODI.

But I get this error messages, when I want activate LIRC in the driver with

Code: Select all

make menuconfig
...

Code: Select all

...
Created default (all yes) .config file
/lib/modules/4.4.0-53-generic/build/scripts/kconfig/mconf ./Kconfig
./Kconfig:7510: syntax error
./Kconfig:7509: unknown option "---"
./Kconfig:7510:warning: ignoring unsupported character ','

make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Fehler 1
make[1]: Verzeichnis »/usr/src/tbsdriver_161213/media_build/v4l« wird verlassen
make: *** [menuconfig] Fehler 2



I don't know what ist the reason for that?
In the past, with kernel-4.2.0 I could use "make menuconfig" without any errors and activated LIRC, but today, with kernel-4.4.0-53 I get this error.

Paul
Could anyone help me?

[crazycat]

make stagingconfig

or better just run install.sh
