TBS 6504 does not start scanning for muxes (channel search)

gabigabi · May 8, 2022 at 11:25 AM

Hello I have a TBS 6504 Quad tuner PCI-e card where I would like to use with Libreelec.

With Ubuntu 20.04 everything is ok. Only with Libreelec nothing works. With Le 9.2.6 it is not even recognized !,

.

with LibreElec10 it is detected in TVHeadend, but does not start to scan for Muxes (channel search).

Now after 3-4 weeks of testing and many installations I need help.

Situation:

Fresh Libreelec 10 installation with activated TBS drivers, looks ok.

From,BUT, when I install Tvheadend 4.2, I get the firmware,,dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw,

, installed??. I was not aware that Tvheadend also installs firmware.

This said firmware - si2157 - makes trouble!!

This firmware,,dvb-tuner-si2157,,is not used at all with the working Ubuntu !

OK. then Nightly Builds took TVH 4.3 because it looked better. No error

because

of the dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw, will be installed again with. But the scan (channel search) does not start.

And I've been using Tvheadend for several years. The whole thing has to be related to the firmware somehow.

Can I delete the "dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw,, e.b.??, since it is probably not needed for my TV Card (see Ubuntu).

ps. The hardware --motherboard/TV card --was the same in all attempts. This is a pure software problem.

*text translated into English

thanks for help.
