I have encountered two blocking problems whilst using the Ubuntu 11-10 drivers (linux-tbs-drivers_111017.zip)

Can someone help me resolve them please?

Problem 1

I installed the drivers following the instructions in the README - no problems encountered. Verified that drivers were being loaded:

I am unable to view any channel with tvheadend - when trying it immediately disconnects when trying - syslog shows the typical entry:

Code: Select All Code

Oct 27 15:54:48 PYTHAGORAS tvheadend[921]: subscription: "HTTP" subscribing on "CBS Reality+1", weight: 150, adapter: "TurboSight TBS 6921 DV$
Oct 27 15:54:48 PYTHAGORAS kernel: [  301.568589] TurboSight TBS 6921 Frontend:

Oct 27 15:54:53 PYTHAGORAS tvheadend[921]: subscription: "HTTP" unsubscribing from "CBS Reality+1"


The syslog is scattered with very many entries " tbs6921fe - delivery system 0 is not supported".

Problem 2

I am unable to build scan-s2. I get the following error during make:

Code: Select All Code

fred@PYTHAGORAS:~/TBS6921-2011-10-26/scan-s2$ make
gcc -I../linux-tbs-drivers/linux/include -c scan.c -o scan.o
In file included from scan.c:48:0:
atsc_psip_section.h:57:1: note: offset of packed bit-field ‘reserved2’ has changed in GCC 4.4
scan.c:51:2: error: #error scan-s2 requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.1!
make: *** [scan.o] Error 1


Key components of my system are:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO
CPU: athlon II X2 250E
TBS card: TBS6921
OS: ubuntu 11.10 (Linux PYTHAGORAS 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Can somebody from TBS support please tell me something?

At the moment the card is unusable.

Thank you.

Well, I'm not from TBS support, but...

Try to modify an recompile scan-s2.

open scan-s2.c
find

Code: Select All Code

#if DVB_API_VERSION != 5 || DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR != 1

and change to

Code: Select All Code

#if DVB_API_VERSION != 5 && DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR < 1

then make and make install.

Best regards.

Has anyone managed to sort out this problem?
I am having the same errors - The syslog is scattered with very many entries " tbs6921fe - delivery system 0 is not supported".
This is the same when trying to use either Tvheadend or VDR
My system using the latest 3.x kernel 64 bit

I have downloading and installed the drivers from here which all appear to work fine.
I can scan with the scan-s2 which was included in the download whch seems to pick up all the non s2 channels ok

any ideas how to make it work with tvheadend or VDR or any other package??

thanks
