One more question. How can I save the list of muxes that I have now entered manually so that it can be used for an automatic search in the future? (OK, this is not a LibreELEC question either, of course...)
Thanks,
Stefan

As it stands, I can't solve the problem on my own...
I have a spare tuner (Win TV Dual HD) that I would be happy to make available to any interested developers. Apparently, the problem exists across several versions of Librelec, Kodi and TVH.
One special feature in my case is perhaps the private cable system, which means that the allocation of channels to frequencies may be different from that of the major cable providers.

So, as I said, I would make the WinTV dual HD available.
Can anyone help here?

Thanks, Stefan (from Mainz)

P.S.: I found the problem. I was missing some "0" in the Symbolrate...

Hello,
i just tried it with the latest LE Nightly build from 08/28, but no success.

should I try to ask somewhere else ? where? tvheadend forum`?

Thank you,

Stefan

error is the same as all the last times:

2025-08-30 11:16:30.845 [   INFO]:mpegts: 298MHz in DVB-C Netzwerk - tuning on Silicon Labs Si2168 #1 : DVB-C #0

I have a similar problem, see here:

Thread

[RPI4+RPI5] + LE 12.2.0 + TVH 4.3-2433 + hauppauge wintv dual hd (si2168) not working after upgrade

Hello,

The wintv dual seems to be there, but if i try to add muxes, it doesn't work. (DVB-C, Germany, "Privatkabelanlage")
Everything was ok before with the former LE Version.

what could be the reason?`

thank you,

stefan

P.S.: I also tried it with a Pi5, but only got the same result.

P.S.:

strange - a very old version of LE (9.2.x) doesn't work too.

so the last known working configuration was the one that I had with a rpi 3b.

I tested the stick with the windows software - everything is working there.

Thank you.

I tried it with LE13, but I have the same failure. (tvh 4.3 latest version)
it was the build from yesterday.

I will try tvh 4.2. older versions now.
- tried with 4.2.8-36 didn't bring other results.

Any other Ideas?

P.S.: all muxes work on the attached TV.

no ideas?

I got this when trying to debug:

Hello,

the old raspberry pi is a 3b, with libreelec 9.2.8, kodi 18.9. tvheadend server + client running.

what are the steps to move channel list etc. to the new installation? (rpi 4 2 gb, libreelec 11 actual download)?

thank you,

Stefan

P.S.:

there is tvh server 4.2 and 4.3 (alpha) available.
does anyone have experience with the newer alpha version? can you dare to install it?

one additional question to dvb-t scan files in tvheadend

the pre-defined muxes for germany didn't work (only there for dvb-t, but dvb-t2 is needed).

this helped me: PiCockpit | DVB-T Tools, but it's only available for germany.

in Croatia, they changed from dvb-t to dvb-t2 too this summer.

Does anybody know, if somebody did the same for croatia, than as picockpit.com did for germany?

should i better ask in the tvh forums?

Thank you,

Stefan

thank you very much!! it worked now - i don't know why, but in the meantime, the addons menus "filled up". I'm not 100% sure if i looked in the same place, but i had the impression that when i first looked, there was only 1 addon (somethink with docker). I had access to all addons now i think.

thank you ghtester! I don't know how to activate different plugins in a nightly build - i just installed it by putting the tar file in the "updates" smb folder.

when i browse through the kodi addon menus, the versions you mentioned don't show up. what am i missing?

ah sorry.. I just found a website containing all the plugins as zipfiles. did you mean that?

there is an error with the install - kodi gives a message that the zip doesn't have the correct structure.

i used : 9.80.8-RPi4-arm-service.tvheadend42-9.80.8.125.zip

Thank you ghtester,

the nightly installed ok, but tvh 4.2 is not compatible, and tvh 4.3. 1906 can't be installed because some dependency couldn't be resolved..

Is there a solution for this?

I use the Libreelec Pi with TV Tuner as a replacement for my defect Topfield PVR... I use an even bigger ssd there

Setup is ok, but the external hd/ssd adapter doesn't work. It is not recognized. and I get errors like this:

em28xx 1-1.1:1.0: write to i2c device at 0xc8 failed with unknown error (status=128)

I don't know how to show the actual firmware version. Please help!

Main point for me to use a ssd was durability - at the least on the "main" pi, with cloud software, databases etc. on it.

I don't remember the details, but I'll test the next hours.

I think the firmware was up to date - which version is that at the moment?

the same usb3-adapter and ssd run with full speed with a raspbian pi4 and kernel 5.4.

perhaps it has to do with the hauppauge usb2-device too.

one additional problem was, that the tvh server addon 4.2 doesn't work correctly in libreelec.
