[VU+ Ultimo] Dvbt stick

[stick50jr]

I'm using Vix2.4.143 and it is still fairly clean (very few plugins etc). When I install the a867 driver it certainly doesn't hang.

Maybe you need to revert to a cleaner image after all the frigging around you've been through and also get the dvb-t going before you install all the extras?

Good luck!

[SOLVED] VU+DUO and a867 DVB-T pen

Hi fellows,
a big thanks to stick50jr for his suggestions finally I can confirm that I've the a867 (the Sky USB-DVB-T adapter with blue light) up and running smoothly on my DUO (Maybe the instruction would work with ULTIMO aswell)

So here's what I did

1. - reflashed my DUO to a backup I was sure was working ok (VIX 2.4 build 143 with CCcam2.3.0, OpenVPN, SAMBA)
   
2. via telnet session I issued the following commands:
   opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867
   
   Installing kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867 (3.1.1-r16.8) to root...
   Downloading http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.co...16.8_vuduo.ipk.
   Configuring kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867.
   FATAL: Error inserting dvb_usb_a867 (/lib/modules/3.1.1/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-a867.ko): Invalid module format
   ​
   then:
   opkg files kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867
   
   Package kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867 (3.1.1-r16.8) is installed on root and has the following files:
   /etc/modutils/dvb-usb-a867
   /lib/modules/3.1.1/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-a867.ko​
   
   and
   opkg depends kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867
   
   kernel-module-dvb-usb-a867 depends on:
   update-modules
   kernel-3.1.1​

after that rebooted and the tuner for DVB-T was displayed and available.
I did a search for the channels (Using the default terestrial.xml I choosed europe,mid est... etc since I'm in Italy) and stored more than 111 channel (al the ones available in this district area).

just to be more exaustive in the description I'll add the following:
dmesg | grep dvb
dvb_demux_feed_del: feed not in list (type=0 state=0 pid=ffff)
dvb_demux_feed_del: feed not in list (type=0 state=0 pid=ffff)

I's time to put the driver in the plugin feed!!!

 

[judge]

Glad you got it working.
Can you check if it still works on an Enigma restart rather than a full reboot.

 

[MarsArtis]

argh!!!!

done a GUI restart. The tuner was listed among the available ones BUT it's not tuning any channel at all. It gaves failed tune error message (i'm literally translating it from italian).

I'll look forward for your further instructions

Thought so, a full reboot should work for now.
The team are aware of this issue.

 

[MarsArtis]

May I ask what is this issue related to?

and why the
dmesg | grep dvb
does not report the a867 in warm state?

Just that recent builds aren't picking up USB TV sticks on a GUI restart.
Did it work again after a full reboot?

 

[MarsArtis]

I do confirm. After a reboot it's working again.

Some of these that haven't made it to the plugin list do actually work.. to wit the a867 discussed in this thread.

But be warned many may have firmware and other dependencies that also need to be located and installed. (The a867 is an exception because it's driver is self sufficient!)

cheers

very usefull indeed

 

[meggiedude]

Just been browsing through this thread as I am trying to get my MSI Mega Sky 580 working with my Duo.
In the list above I can see this DVB-T stick listed as "dvb-usb-gl861 kernel module; Driver MSI Mega Sky 580 DVB-T USB2.0 / GL861"
So a week ago I tried the instructions above for this driver,
i.e
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861
opkg files kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861
opkg depends kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861

BTW, I am currently on the latest cut of the OE3.0 build (which I like a lot btw)

Bizarrely the USB stick will work, but only in the front usb - but not in either of the rear ports.

I've tried many reboots and using a powered USB hub for the rear, but no joy.

Just to add to this, I have been "told" by my missus that it won't be left to work like this (with tuner and aerial cable sticking out the front of the unit), and either the tuner goes to the back or it gets removed. So I need a resolution here.
Sometimes wonder who pays the bills in this house.

 

[meggiedude]

OK, Have just ran through this again.

Blackhole 1.7.8
Out-of-the-box - DVB-T MSI Megasky 580 recognised in both front and back usb ports - no additional drivers needed.

VIX OE3.0 latest cut (344??)
Out-of-the-box - DVB-T MSI Megasky 580 NOT recognised in either front and back usb ports

VIX OE3.0 latest cut (344??)
Driver install via:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861
opkg files kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861
opkg depends kernel-module-dvb-usb-gl861
DVB-T MSI Megasky 580 is recognised in front USB, but NOT in back usb ports

Bizarre or what???

So at this point if I want to use that tuner I have to go back to Blackhole - but I prefer the OE3.0 UI. Arrrrggghhhh

 

[meggiedude]

@ Mods & Dev(s)
Is there any way we can get more official support for DVB-T tuners FOR ALL USB ports.

As above, Blackhole works fine for many DVB-T stcks on all ports OOTB, but I want to use the VIX image.
I like it - my family like it.

If the Blackhole team can get it to work without issue, and a manual install of the gl861 (MSI Mega Sky 580) driver in VIX in my Duo (as above) works for the front port, surely we're more than 1/2 way there aren't we???

Yours in anticipation

MD.
