Hello !

iridium Wrote:Anyway, while open source drivers for the cards are a huge progress compared to the mediocre closed-source drivers, the current Linux support for TBS cards is still extremely lacking from an end-user perspective (replacing and recompiling the complete media tree after every kernel update is not a viable option). Are there any plans to support the efforts to get TBS card support upstream in the near future?


You are so right in regards to the burden of replacing and recompiling the complete media tree after even minor kernel update. It was said to me at the IBC in Amsterdam, that TBS is actively trying to get its open source driver ready to be submitted for the kernel tree. I wish this to be true.

I try to use the quad tuner 6205 card with these drivers on UBUNTU 14.04.5 LTS with success. ( that's a good point :) )

BUT :
I can't use my webcam logitech C525 anymore... It seems that the package of modules break it completly.

Is there any solutions ?

Thank you !


Am i alone with this problem ?


Well,
So i putted out this card, putted back my old tv nova td-500 card. Lots of problems, webcam out, sometimes my old card was not working etc, etc, etc,...

I found a previous kernel modules installation and all is running well now.
And i don't speak about extremly high temp of chips...
Will never put this card on a linux system without to be sure of existant modules integrity will not be touched.


Any way to have a solution to make my webcam working with v4l ?????

TBS Driver Installation
Some DVB devices support in the Linux kernel by the default. But for the most popular devices by DigitalDevices and TBS drivers should be installed manually. In this manual will be described how to install drivers on Ubuntu/Debian Linux.

Prepare system
To install drivers needed root privileges:

sudo -s
Install system utilities to build drivers from the source code:

apt-get install build-essential \
patchutils \
libproc-processtable-perl \
linux-headers-`uname –r` \
git \
linux-source
Remove old media drivers:

rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/media
Increase system limits. By the default Linux kernel has limit only for 8 DVB adapters. Change limit before build drivers:

sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(CONFIG_DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS\)=.*/\1=48/g' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/.config
Disable auto update in Ubuntu 14.04
sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists\).*/\1 "0";/g' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
Disable auto update in Ubuntu 16.04
systemctl disable apt-daily.service
systemctl disable apt-daily.timer
Install
Downloading and building:

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
sudo make install
Install firmware for DVB adapters

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/
Restart your system

shutdown -r now
After reboot check adapters

ls /dev/dvb
Troubleshooting
DVB adapters are not available
If ls /dev/dvb shows error:

ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory
With lspci you may check is adapters available in the system:

lspci | grep Multimedia
If adapters connected to the PCIe properly you will see listing of the PCIe adapters. For example:

01:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB-S2 4 Tuner PCIe Card

Check system boot log for errors:

dmesg | grep -i dvb
You may send this log to the adapter vendor to find a solution.
Drivers has been installed some time ago and all worked fine before server reboot
Probably Linux kernel has been updated. After Linux kernel update drivers should be reinstalled.
