ljalves-cc Identified as TurboSight TBS 5990 (card=25) and then it crashes - iirc there is some v2 or something of this device that didn't work (could you have a look at the box if there is something printed on)?

tbs official: TBS 5990 is supported Home · tbsdtv/linux_media Wiki · GitHub but didn't show up - are you sure that that it was selected correctly ? because it didn't showed up in the dmesg

Good to see some talk about the TBS5990.

Just letting you know I'm pretty sure the ljalves media build won't be a fully working driver for tbs5990 yet, it's unfinished unless he's pulled crazycat's latest into his distro , his is different I think unfinished, if someone else knows any better?

CvH crazycat's latest media_build however does completely work 100% with options bulk_transfer=0 (needs this for even decryption or you get the pic doesn't come through)
I have been running this tbs5990 driver setup on complete server w/ tvheadend running doing multi decryption and serving 3 kodi clients for about the last 2 weeks. So it works

I'm not sure of the process from here, does it then get made into named "tbs5990.c" source/module before you can compile it across to LibreELEC ? it's missing the remote side of it also, unless you can do that separately for the rc-6 remote that comes with it. (the unit also has a very effective IR Reciever in it that works very well w/ a good MCE remote)

Ok, look like incorrect i2c bus nums used.
I make extend dual demod config for cx231xx driver - cx231xx: Extend dual demod config. · crazycat69/linux_media@fe5dbaa · GitHub
and disable analog audio support (ALSA) for TBS boxes - cx231xx: Disable analog audio support per device. · crazycat69/linux_media@71c347f · GitHub
so not need disable CX231XX Alsa support in config.

Please check latest branch (with my updated media_build).
Same for 5280, 5281 users.

that's all working now after latest commits. great work

one slight thing left though, looks as if Tuner B isn't getting the bulk transfer options log from tvheadend
I lsmod'd and can only see the 1 cx231xx module loaded.. maybe needs cfg parameter duplicated for tuner B
leave that one with you lol

tbs5990 still won't work same prob earlier post. (with logs)

hope you sort it out cc , would be ripper when it's finally in the main media_build

fingers crossed soon

Yes! I forget to paste this [emoji14]

Also tried this:

git clone CrazyCat / media_build — Bitbucket
cd media_build
./build --main-git
make install

It didn't work

./build --git GitHub - crazycat69/linux_media: TBS linux open source drivers latest

bcos ./build can't find the LATEST firmware file in /downloads on bitbuckets (404 error)

ok
Look like i find solution for cx231xx i2c bus 2 sending - cx231xx-i2c: Workaround for I2C-3 write issue. · crazycat69/linux_media@5c9e4fa · GitHub
And 5990 support moved to latest branch (+ added demod reset) - cx231xx: TBS 5990 support. · crazycat69/linux_media@9c9522b · GitHub
So please check latest branch (with my updated media_build).
[hr]

si2168 branch deleted.
dvb-c annex b support for si2168 added to latest branch - si2168: DVB-C annex B support. · crazycat69/linux_media@5e05976 · GitHub

nice work crazycat
tested latest branch w/ tbs5990. not sure what is happening & used make menuconfig (see logs)

I had your previous tbs5990 earlier branch tuner A working today with modprobe option for bulk transfer (success worked)
However Tuner B had poll/retune issue in tvheadend.

maybe my setup - ubuntu 14.04 - 4.2 kernel not sure what I'm doing wrong

Quote from highkick05

will try and report back

crazycat , worked. I'll test your media_build with this option enable , & post to your git.

Quote from crazycat

try USB bulk transfer mode instead default ISO

Code

options cx231xx transfer_mode=0

will try and report back

Quote from crazycat

release what ? just another fork of ljalves/linux_media

this

crazycat , on looking @ previous attempts & learning a few things testing ljalves half done tbs5990 driver on different SAT from which we tested,

Apstar 7 the ljalves driver was playing MPEG 4 HD channels without any issue. (8mb/s max tried/available 3 hours running no problem)
Apstar 7 scanned normal dvbs & dvb-s2 mux MPEG 4 HD I had not one issue at all on any channel/s within tvheadend

With C MUSIC & FUEL TV & etc on Asiasat 5 it only seems to be able to push out 2mb/s on 1080p channels which is not enough and full of errors obviously
it looks as if the problems I was having may be error handling (?).... or ability to deal with error prone channel/mux
is this performed by driver or by software decoding, if it is then may be driver is ok

TBSDTV Community Forum • View topic - Good News,Open source code for TBS Card has been released

Tbs released code!!

Does the remotes work with all of the above drivers ? if used

ljalves is using my tbs5990 on machien i set up to create driver. He's a bit busy though it seems. done initial testing on Tuner A.

Still a little far from finished. test Tuner B and then perhaps I can get him to fix my little prob with errors on. Could be timings or something i was told

CvH , I have begun with ljalves the open source driver for TBS5990.

Seems it may have the same problems for me decoding dvbs2 muxes off Asiasat 5. Just the picture quality takes a bit of a kick in the guts on some HD channels.

Initially we tested it on Apstar 7 (different satellite) & I was surprised it ran every MPEG 4 HD channel (one for 3 hours) with not a hint of a glitch on ljalves first attempt at hacking up working open source driver.

Would there be something missing decoder wise in the original build of the media_build / or even something missing from tvheadend? I have tried your OpenELEC tbs's linux drivers for TBS5990 and these problematic (error prone) channels actually work well. This is why I ask you is something missing ie. up to date codec's etc ? (im not good with this stuff)

Scratching my head because crazycat/smallint already got an open source driver fully working on both tuner's and I gave up because I had the above same problems.

My question is , could this driver issue actually be tvheadend or codec/decoder problem

Typically this is what I see from tvheadend just now

2016-07-01 14:21:26.356 TS: Asiasat 5/4040H/C Music TV: MPEG2AUDIO @ #3032 Continuity counter error (total 595)

this is too many errors & doesn't play at all and happens to few other channels as well on this SAT.

But (scratch head again) plays in DVBViewer on Windows machine absolutely no problem at all, on simple TP parameters from lyngsat, same dish alignment.
Also, with same hacked up linux driver by ljalves on same box (unfinished still testing) plays all MPEG 4 HD mux on Apstar 7 friggin flawlessly. (3 hours tested)

something to do with error handling in tvheadend ? pretty sure your OpenElec version of tvheadend played this correctly w/ tbs's drivers ? Maybe TBS5990 open source is finished but just problem with tvheadend. Maybe you could try crazycats build

this shouldn't be a problem with my image because there is nopthing touched what makes WOL work

is ok

Wireless doesn't usually support WOL

It works perfectly fine with a LAN adapter. Just clearing that up for ppl.

I'm not sure what it takesto get WOL working in linux with a wireless adapter. ? Question for someone who jknows this ?

Hey has anyone gotten wake-on-lan working in this image.

Can't get it going on my hardware...

My wireless ac stick works amazing so happy with that. Swapping toLibreELEC, heaps better hardware support than open ..

Auto update actually works as well !

Quote from CvH

Are you sure that it is a TBS 5590? Because the TBS website doesn't know this card.

Could he perhaps mean the TBS5990?

Did you see we got it up and working on here  CvH

Not sure but they just gave up after they got basic functionality, still won't do 1080P ...
