Does this mean that there's no need for your separate KIII builds any longer?

Yes, my builds will be now for testing and fixing live tv and internal dvb tuner issues.

8.0.2c uploaded. Please note that CVBS support has not been tested as I don't have S912 device with CVBS output.

kalebroc You way want to try gxm_q201_2g device tree.

You forgot note there is internal tuner support (Mecool KIII Pro).

Pls add dtb for KIII Pro KIII_Pro_dtb.zip.

I already tested your version and internal tuner is running.

Hi afl1: can i use this build to update from Version 7 to 8 ? does it cause Problems ?

Yes. you can do it. You have to also update all your addons to version 8.

Another test build for live tv:

LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.2-devel-201706201320-g45271ec-I.tar

Can we use kszaq's dtbs for this build?

I need gxm_q200_3g.

No. You need nougat dtb.

Try this one:

KIII_PRO_nougat.dtb

I have problem, sometimes picture in dvb-s2 stuck, i think that i have found relevant log:

Maybe it's just one NOK ECM, i don't know, but it should skip bad part and continue, not stuck.

I have KII Pro, 8.0-8.0.2b-I with service.tvheadend42-8.1.111b.zip (also tested with a), but i have this problem for longer time, i think it worked properly on older version like 8.0-8.0.1a-I-fix. This happens 1-2x per day.

Hi alf1 im owner of Ferguson Ariva 4K and i have a question. Do you have a drivers for that dvb tuner ?

No. I have no idea what chipset is used in dvb tuner.

Quote from zbigzbig20

Right kszaq. I am using GDPR-1 build. Would be nice to have also Your or afl1 forPlay2 . Maybe will be possible to compile one build with play2 dvb driver and your LE environment? I heard that afl1 driver for K series is really good but play2 has different tuner and it does not work

Sorry, there are no public sources for Availink AVL6211+AV2011. DVB driver for Wetek Play2 is compiled as a internal kernel module. All DVB drivers are compiled in our builds as a loadable kernel modules.

Quote from zbigzbig20

afl1 , I am trying to use your 111a tvh build on my wetek play2 but when I trying to open channels it showing me info no free adapters. Tvh for K series is different from play2?

At first, without debug log I can't help you. Have you verified config via TVHeadend webif? If it is correct, try scan channels.

Quote from kszaq

Fixed addons are now uploaded.

TVHeadend42 doesn't work. Pls increase version to 8.1.112 and use the latest version.

addons: TVHeadend42 4.2.2-49

Update in #1 with DVB-C fix.

Quote from kszaq

afl1 I have identified the issue with addons: a commit for compat ioct was missing after DVB revert and incorrect headers were included when compiling TVHeadend and other DVB addons: PD#116363: dvb: fix pointer from 32bit to 64bit · kszaq/linux-amlogic-le@daee10d · GitHub

I will upload recompiled addons later today.

THX.

I did test compilation and now it works, but the latest version is now compatible only with 8.0.2b or my latest test builds. The reason is most likely openSSL.

TVHeadend v. 4.2.2-49 service.tvheadend42-8.1.111b.zip

Thanks afl1 ... I finally managed to sort it out and it had nothing to do with LibreELEC or even the KII Pro. I connected the KII Pro with the LNB out of my VU+ which till I setup the KII Pro and be happy with it, I wanted it to still be my primary viewing box for satellite. Unfortunately even with the VU switched off, for some reason about 10% of transponders fail to lock but work if I bypass the VU+. I should have checked it before, but the kind of randomness of the failed transponders (it wasn't like they all were on the same band, polarity, low SNR, symbol rate etc etc) threw me off.

Anyway, once again well done for the great work. I have been messing with Linux for 20 years and while I love it, I know how hairy it can get at times Hope I can be more useful in the future

Try to replace LNB in satellite dish with premium quality e.g. Inverto Black Ultra. In my dish is for Hotbird only standard LNB (I am watching only Supertennis) and for 11526H had only 54% SNR. Values bellow 50% are unwatchable.

Quote from ixprun

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I believe I have the correct settings because I have copied the working settings from the tvheadend running on my wetek where the mux works scans and works fine, reconfigured for the kii pro and got other muxes working but not this one (I am sure there are others but I stuck on 1 to try to isolate the problem). Secondly I started with a clean configuration, configured just hotbird, deleted all default muxes, scanned another mux that has swiss channels which through NIT discovered the 11526H mux and it still fails

I try to bang my head on this problem later on today.

I verified this transponder in my KI Pro and 31 services were scanned successfully.

Quote from ixprun

First of all well done for a great job. I have tried several of the recent version posted here on my KII Pro (including various dtb files for it) but whatever I do I cannot scan (hence get the channels) on a few transponders on Hotbird. On particular example is 11526H. It works just fine on a Wetek Play or VU+ but I cannot scan it it tvheadend on the KII Pro. I have seen some people have reported a simillar issue before, but I found no fix or solution for it. Is this a known issue with the "buggy" driver or am I missing something?

There is no scan issue. Most likely you use outdated mux database. Lot of DVB-S transponders are replaced with DVB-S2.

e.g. default data in tvheadend for Hotbird 13E 11526H are:

Delivery system: DVB-S

Frequency (kHz): 11526000

Symbol rate (Sym/s): 27500000

Polarization: H

Modulation: QPSK

FEC: 3/4

Correct data under lyngsat.com:

Delivery system: DVB-S2

Frequency (kHz): 11526000

Symbol rate (Sym/s): 29700000

Polarization: H

Modulation: 8PSK

FEC: 2/3

To fix all transponders set for Network discovery : New muxes + changed muxes and then 'Force Scan' Hotbird network. Don't forget save settings before 'Force Scan'. The new fixed transponders will be discovered. Finally you have to delete old (invalid) duplicates.

Thanks alot man!! I'll test it ASAP.

Test build with previous DVB-C firmware LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.2-devel-20170613195105-g783d40f-I.tar.

afl1 Would you mind if I integrate your driver in my builds?

Ok. Do it.

There is IR with extra buttons, don't forget support them.
