TBS 5520SE not recognized

I installed libreelec generic intel but tbs 5520SE was not recognized on tvheadend with crazycat drivers. Some help ?

It's a issue with the kernel. TBS cards are not working in libreelec 10. I'm waiting a fix too

I'm disappointed it hasn't been resolved yet.

What effort have you made to get it closer to a resolution?

The challenge with all the 'external' DVB drivers is that the upstream sources are rarely updated to latest kernel quickly, and we are bumping to the latest kernel release frequently, which breaks the patches needed. As a result, we generally don't bother updating them until we reach the later stages of a beta cycle when we've locked on a specific kernel as our release target AND the upstream driver patchset is available. It would be nice to track things more closely and bump more frequently, but curating DVB patcsets is a miserable time consuming pain in the arse chore task, and devs generally (and understandably) find more fun things to spend their free time on.
