No CA module in tvheadend

estefan · May 24, 2021 at 10:58 AM

Hello dear libreelec community

I have a working tvheadend setup on ubuntu 18.04 using a "CT2-4650 CI" with decryption card.

Now I wanted to move the tvheadend setup to my raspberry pi running libreelec 9.2.6. So I copied the config folder and plugged the "CT2-4650 CI" into the raspberry.
But the ca-module is now missing under DVB-Inputs->TV adapters. It used to be there on my ubuntu machine. The "CAs" section is empty on both setups.

/dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 exists and I get the following via journalctl:

Code

dvb_ca_en50221: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully

This is probably related to

Thread

After Upgrade LE 9.0.0 CI-Slot disapered

Since the Update to LE 9.0.0 my TV-Card TBS with integrated CI Slot doesn't work like before.

Before the upgrade TVHeadend Server 4.2 showed me a ca0 in DVB-Input.

I've tried different drivers but no solution.

Perhaps somebody could help me.

but as nightly builds fixed the problem in 2019 I assumed this fix made it into main until now.

I tried all available versions (I think 4) of the tvheadend service. To no avail.

I assume due to the missing CA module decryptions fails and when trying to watch live tv this shows up un journalctl:

it is very likely due that ffmpegx: disable nonfree - Tvh and ffmpeg-tools update by CvH · Pull Request #3164 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

we can't revert that at the moment (there are future changes at OpenSSL that would allow us to use it again), the licence prohibit to share binaries that are build in that combination

you can build Tvheadend with that line changed and it should work, but you better do not share the file

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

I reverted the commit and built the addon. (wow, that LibreELEC built system is sophisticated!) Yet dvben50221 has not been enabled.
running strings on the binary now shows this:

So I do have a --enable-dvben50221 yet in the summary of Options I see
dvben50221 no

Any ideas?

The test compilation fails because it can not find the header.... investigating...

So I added include and link paths and disabled the compilation check (seems like adjusted paths were not forwarded)... and it compiled with en50221. My hacked patch is well hidden at the end of this posting.

I also have a ca0 module as before.

But only some channels are watchable. Seems like it is limited to SD content.

others show this:

The same tuner with the same antenna works fine for all channels on my ubuntu 18.04 tvheadend setup.

terrible hack that let me compile en50221. Additionally to reverting 63924bab4bda731fee30f95e5eac96ea96340221

tvheadend42: update to 4.1.2401 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@5fe3eb7 · GitHub

that was the change that was required to build it, so not sure if there has something changed till then

estefan · June 9, 2021 at 12:45 PM

I installed raspbian but the cam module didn't work there either. So either it is Raspberry-hardware-related (shieldings and stuff) or it is related to the newer tvheadend version. idk... Maybe I'll try to get a small-form-factor low-power x64 machine to do that. Any suggestions?

you can try the tvheadend docker from the LS.IO docker repo (we ship at our repo)
