TBSDTV Community Forum

I recently bought a 6905 tbs quad dvbs tuner card in order to setup a local iptv server.
I have downloaded the latest drivers but i cannot find anywhere on teh tbs site or forum any guide o how to install the drivers.
I am not a linux expert but have some experience.
I am using ubunut x64 15.10.
Any help would be really aprecciated.

I found the following guide for another tbs card and i am trying to install the 6905.



1. Extract the ZIP file tbs-linux-drivers_v[VERSION NUMBER].zip. As of 5 October 2013, the latest version is 130927. You may want to do this in an empty directory as this archive does not extract into a single root directory of its own.

mkdir tbs-linux-drivers_v130927
cd tbs-linux-drivers_v130927
unzip ../tbs-linux-drivers_v130927.zip

2. Extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive

bzip2 -d linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
tar xvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar

3. Change to driver package directory

cd linux-tbs-drivers

4. Fix the file permissions

At this point, the supplied tar.bz2 is completely knackered in respect of the file permissions. To fix run

find -type d -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
find -type f -exec chmod 644 \{\} \;
find -name '*.sh' -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
find -name '*.pl' -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;

5. Select platform architecture

Note: The next lines are explained in more detail in the manifacturers README: README_TBS62XY, linking to README_TBS6981

for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x)

./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

or for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x)

./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

or for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux)

./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

You should then receive a message along these lines:

TBS drivers configured for [NAME OF PLATFORM] platform.

where [NAME OF PLATFORM] is x86_r3 or x86 or 86_64

6. Build the driver. Recompiles v4l for a wide range of cards, currently about 500, will take many minutes. We're ready to build; add -j3 parameter for make command line for a faster build on a dual core machine, -j5 on a quad core machine, etc.

make

If you get -bash: make: command not found, then sudo apt-get install build-essential

7. Install driver. Existing drivers for other v4l related hardware, such as lirc could also get updated.

sudo make install

8A. Reboot

sudo reboot

After all the commands i get the following error:
