Newbie question LibreElec and TVHeadEnd no tuners showing

  • Hi,

    I tried on the Kodi forum, and was directed here.

    I have a PC running Kodi 17 alpha 2 on LibreELEC, with a TBS 6280 dual DVB-T2 tuner (PCI-e) and a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner. They both work in Windows 10 with MediaPortal.

    I installed the OpenELEC alpha and then installed tvheadend 4.2 from the LibreELEC repository. Everything installed fine. I was following this guide:

    Setting up an easy Linux Kodi with Live TV (LibreELEC)

    However, there are no tuners showing up. I can connect to tvheadend from a web browser on my PC, and everything looks as it should in the guide. Just no tuners.

    I'm guessing there are no tuners yet for the Hauppauge card, but the TBS card is apparently supported.

    So, how do I begin to troubleshoot this? My expertise on Linux is pretty low, but I can find my way around a bash shell. I just don't know how to tell if devices are detected/drivers installed, and what to do about it if they are not.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Best wishes,

    Mark

    Edit: It is LibreELEC, not OpenELEC!

    We need to see if your tuner has been recognised. SSH into the PC and run the following:

    Code
    dmesg|paste
    ls /dev/dvb|paste

    Each line will return a URL which you should post here.
