LibreElec 9.2.5 and VDR 2.4.1 fails to scan channels on RPI4

1st Official Post

    Hi
    I would like to know if anyone is facing this issue.

    I have a pctv tuner and it works fine with LibreElec 8.2.5 (RPI3B) and also it worked fine when i build LibreElec from sources with branch libreelec-9.2 (RPI4)

    But when i install LibreElec from the official channel (Raspberry Pi Imager), i cannot get the vdr plugin to work. Vdr configuration plugin does not show any details about the tuner.

    Entries in the bottom panel are empty (ex: Tuner: , Frequency: and Channel: )

    Following is the log from vdr process

    Code
    06:59:10 wirbelscan version 2018.11.04 @ VDR 2.4.1
06:59:10 using settings for 19.2 east Astra 1F/1G/1H/1KR/1L
06:59:10 frontend Montage Technology M88DS3103
06:59:20 leaving scanner


    Do you have any suggestion? Is this an issue with vdr 2.4.1?

    strange, do you still have the self compiled files ?

    If so try to update to the self installed one if it happens there too.


    Did you tried a clean install if it happens there too ?

    Maybe just some strange behavior due the import of the old data.

    Yes when i compiled from sources it works fine.

    I stongly feel the firmware is corrupted.

    I tried to check the same on raspberry pi OS and it failed initially (using kodi 19) but then tried the following and it is fixed.

    I replaced the firmware lib from https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php…-S2_Stick_(461e) into /lib/firmware

    and restarted device. I wonder what is the reason for the corruption of firmware lib in LibreElec.

    Is there a way i can replace the firmware in LibreElec from commandline? the plugin way may not be working correctly
