I added a predefined mux from an other cable provider and changed frequency to my providers number, changed state to active and TVHE started scanning. Found 400+ services, filtered the encrypted services and mapped all.
Result: Everything works again as expected. I'm up and running now.

I started from scratch again: created microSD with LE 12.2.0 and installed TVHeadend 4.3 from the LE Add-on repo.
Before I start to configure TVHE is there a way to check if the USB tuner Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD uses the correct driver(s) and firmware and would find all muxes and services?
From the cable provider I have the following informations:
NetID 43168
Base Frequency 466MHz
Symbolrate 6900 and
QAM-Modulation 256
Where and how should I enter those above numbers during TVHE configuration?

Back from holidays I did a rebbot of LE (12.2.) and TVHeadend 4.3 and scanded dmesg for tuner related messages (see below)

The last line is strange because the USB tuner worked well in the past (up to LE 12.0.2 and TVH 4.2) and all channels are on 366MHz. A manually added MUX shows Original Network ID 65536 which I didn't enter. The correct Network ID should be 43168.
If the problem is caused by the USB tuner (Hauppage-soloHD), I'm willing to buy a new, working one. Any recommendations?
I had LE 12.0.2 with tvheadend 4,2 working well, but upgraded to LE 12.2.0 and read tvheadend 4.3 has to be used. I uninstalled tvh 4.2 and installed 4.3 but had no luck with the tvh setup (no muxes found). To avoid troubles from any "old leftover files" I did a new install of LE and tvh 4.3 but tvh finds no muxes and no services.
The tuner is a USB Hauppauge-soloHD (lsusb: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2040:8268 Hauppauge soloHD), and it is a DVB-C network.
I believe it's a firmware problem, since it worked with LE 12.0.2 and TVH 4.2.
I'm on holidays the next 10 days without access to the I-net. I will read your answers after my holidays.

Solved! Temporary connected RPi to TV, attached keyboard and mouse and found updates for addons. Ran those updates and all is well now.
If my problem does not belong here please point me in the right direction. Keep in mind I'm not a native speaker.
I used LibreELEC 10.0.4 on a headless RPi 3B which worked well until I did a manual to 11.0.3 today (ssh connection from Ubunto 23.04 to the RPi, cd /storage/.update,
wget http://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-11.0.3.img.gz and reboot.
I can still open a ssh connection to the RPi or ping the RPi, but no browser connection to 9981 or 8080.
Since updates went well for a very long time I did not backup the memory card (I know: no backup - no mercy).
Help and ideas are welcome.

Select Videos>Files and search whatever USB device is mounted on your system. If the device is not mounted you’ll need to mount it first. You can then add those videos to your Library.
I haven't explained clear enough. The RPi3B+ running LibreELEC is headless and it's only purpose is to record TV to an attached USB memory and SMB and filesharing is not activ. The 'Finished Recordings' are watched from other rooms on TV or PC. A second RPi3B+ running OSMC is attached to the TV set and the TVH client has access to the TVH server. On the PC Kodi with TVH client add-on has also access to the server. Your advice only works for lokal storage or shared storage (SMB, NFS,..) which is not the case here.
Best regards,
Heinz
I run LibreELEC on a RPi3B+ and upgraded manually from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3. The TVHeadend server uses a USB adapter connected to a cable-provider TV wall-outlet. TV is recorded to a USB memory stick. The recorded ts-files are still on the memory stick, but neither show up on RPi3B+ running OSMC and connected to the TV by HDMI cable nor on KODI on my PC.
Is it possible to get the entries back, I didn't create a back-up before upgrading?

Hello,
this is my first post here, I need your help.
To store tvheadend recordings and timeshift data I use a USB stick. If a power outage happens or I have to reboot the RPi 3 the stick is automatically mounted but tvheadend starts before the mount has finished. Result, tvheadend does not find recorded files and any client can't play those recordings. If I restart tvheadend via SSH things are back to normal. How can I delay the start of tvheadend?
kr and greetings from Vienna, Austria,
