did you use the build from Index of /test/ds3103b/ ??

the RPi image is confirmed working

It works!

Is there any way to "extract" the driver and use it in any other linux distro?

Install https://bitbucket.org/crazycat/media_build

Tx to crazycat that made this possible

I managed to download the media-build source code off bitbucket and compile it against the most recent Ubuntu 16.04 kernel (4.15.0-45). My DVB-S2 device is now working correctly on an Intel Atom Media PC, which is great. Thanks very much to crazycat,@CvH and anyone else who helped get the device working.

Just for the sake of completeness, I double checked the LibreELEC build I reported on in my last post. The build seems to match the one uploaded to Index of /test/ds3103b/. The kernel log also confirmed modules were being added from the 'kernel-overlays/driver.dvb.crazycat' folder. As before, I couldn't get the device to load.

In both ways you are using the same drivers so likely some pebkac? Not sure ofc.

hello, first of all thank all those who with your knowledge help to which we have no idea.

Say that the image worked, but I tried to install an addon and it gave me an error so I had to format it and reinstall it and there it started in the problem because the TVheadend HTSP Client gives me a dependency error and it does not let me install it, the TVheadend server without problem.

what can be done? Can another version be installed?

**CvH** · Oct 12th 2018

Image is outdated, i create some new ones with current state.

Hopefully we could merge it for next alpha/beta.

asaber · Oct 12th 2018

Code

and do a manual installation?

and another PVR?

Softlander · Oct 12th 2018

CvH I'm wondering, Is it possible to use the remote control supplied with the tt-4600 for example with libreelec?

**CvH** · Oct 12th 2018

Softlander should do it ootb

But those ir shipped at the dvb devices are always an mess.

asaber · Oct 12th 2018

from what I see, we have to wait until they get a new image.

Could you install the Drivers with the latest version?

If you mean by ootb "out of the box" then it didn't work for me. Although it works on windows. By the way when I installed the latest driver from dvbshop.net the installer was titled "Terratec S2 USB HD" and the Lirc software that came with it was titled "TeviiRC". It is silly how they can't come with their own software until now .

Also before facing the dependency error on TVheadend HTSP Client like asaber I was playing with channels and I have noticed that any EPG data that is not in English is not displayed correctly although I have installed its addon, also youtube titles have the same problem. Any idea about that?

dmesg | grep dvb is not working or is not outputing anything ?
