Setup problems with Raspi 4 and Astrometa DVB-C stick (MN88473) and Libreelec 9.25

  • Dear Community,

    previously I had a Raspi2 with the latest Libreelec (9.2.4) and that DVB stick working, but as it was pretty unreliable, so I wanted to try the a Raspberry Pi 4.

    I installed tvheadend and tried to connect to it via my desktop computer's web browser to configure the Channels, but I can't connect to tvheadend.

    I then checked tvheadend was properly installed and then I tried all three DVB driver options, but no reply in the tvh browser config winwow

    I read quite a bit on related subjects, but - wow - I can't get it all in my head at once!

    Maybe Linux is simply a bit too complicated for me :(

    Under "USB-devices" via SSH, there's the following message:

    T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

    D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1

    P: Vendor=15f4 ProdID=0131 Rev=01.00

    S: Manufacturer=astrometadvbt2

    S: Product=dvbt2

    C: #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA

    I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=dvb_usb_rtl28xxu

    I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)


    It would be great if someone could give me a hint where to continue.

    Best regards,

    Dominique

    PS. I'm just seeing this strange "MxPwr=500mA"

    Ths stick is the only USB device and I put it on a USB3 port so I though that should be fine.

  • Regarding the "USB-devices" statement and my PS:

    As far as I've read now, "MxPwr=500mA" is only a message from the USB device to the system how much current it will need.

    This guy is lying, because he needs near to 1A when working
