TBS6981 stream stops [Solved]

  • Hi all,

    I have been using Libreelec for a while and have started using Tvheadend with success. As I needed more tuners I got TBS6981 which was cheap. Anyway when I use it the stream always stops with,

    Code
    2017-03-04 14:46:30.457 linuxdvb: Conexant CX24117/CX24132 : DVB-S #0 - poll TIMEOUT
    2017-03-04 14:46:31.160 linuxdvb: Conexant CX24117/CX24132 : DVB-S #0 - retune nodata

    So I googled for problems and found there is an issue with the driver, how do I install a different one in Libreelec. I tried the CVH build but that didn`t work for me as TVH didn`t start so went back to 8.0

    Output of Dmesg

    Code

    Thanks

  • I have fixed this issue, it seems that the intel 775 motherboard I was using didn`t like PIC-e devices in both slots. So have changed to an AM3 based board now.

  • I seem to have sorted one issue but I still get continuity errors on the TBS 6981 card, my two Hauppauge Nova S2 are fine. I did read that there are problems with this card and the discussion about it being possibly a driver issue. Is there any way of installing the Crazy cat or open source driver on Libreelec 8.0.1

    Thanks
