I kind of solved it, reinstalling the 9.0 image ... before I had the lastest Milhouse release installed, maybe that was the reason.

Anyways, it's now back to nominal.

Reconfiguring a machine from scratch this morning, I can't install OSCAM and PC/SC smart card daemon, tried SleepyWatchdog add and that one installed normally ?

Any hint on what's happening ?

The tbs5520SE related driver (inc bug fix) has been compiled and is available here. Tested this morning on DVB-C, the VHF band is now available. Now I have to figure out a way to cable up both my satellite feed and cable TV in the same location (but that's hardware). Cheers to all the developpers.

For info, the frequency range of the TBS5520SE, is invalid in the realease, it has been corrected and is now functional, see the release from Milhouse. I tried this morning his latest build rpi2. And it works wonderfully on DVB-C.

OK, that would indeed explain it.

Back on the matter:

Checked the addon, looks like the last version available, the addon update procedure comes back with currently no update for this addon.

In dmesg in red, one reports that frequency 0 is out of range and the range is 174000000..862000000 unlike in the source code that sets it to 47000000 to 862000000.

then thereafter it reports the range being 470000000..862000000

so 470 Mhz to 862 Mhz

Looks like the range has been redefined somewhere and is not what is should be from the source.

Looks like this corrected version is not in my LE 9.01 I'll see if there's a more up to date driver then, thanks.

About kernel panic and.the tbs5520se, it happened to me when I powered the tuner via a raspberry usb port, when the tuner is powered by an independant power supply no more kernel panic.

TBS 5520 SE single unit on raspberry pi 3, thanks for the progress on this receiver driver by the way.

I have used successfully the DVB-S and DVB-S2 (multistream) function, so far so good (4 LNBs on a DISEC)

DVB-T, works as well with my mini antenna, unfortunately I have a limited signal coming in, so can't say much on this one.

DVB-C, it seems that somehow the tuner is limited to UHF

So above 470 MHz I can get a scan going, but in VHF, I can't.

dmesg I see this too during the VHF scan.

usb 1-1.3: DVB: adapter 0 frontend 1 frequency 386000000 out of range (470000000..862000000)

So basically I can scan UHF channels but not the VHF (out of range)

Is there anything I can change to enable VHF on the DVB-C tuner ?

The one I recompiled on my laptop (intel 32 bits) and on a NUC (intel 64) were picked up from

hxxp*://http://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki

Both instances are working, I can access both DVBT and DVBS devices (not simultaneously though, but that's normal I guess).

The only drawback is that if a EPG grab is running on the DVBS it locks the device and I cannot use a stream from the DVBT.

To be fair, tvheadend does not expect both DVBs running on the same USB device. I disabled the EPGgrab and since then I can switch back and forth between DVBT and DVBS.

Sorry for the delay.

For information, I installed on an old laptop ubuntu 16 (32 bit processor) and proceeded with recompilation of the drivers picked up from the TBS website, then compiled and installed tvheadend (apt-get not working).

Rebooted, plugged in the TBS5520SE, started tvheadend, drivers loaded, device is seen by tvheadend.

Connected my Disec, config TVHeadend and scanned the Satellites, I got everything including the multistream.

Haven't tried the DVBC as I don't have a feed at the moment.

Put it on another power supply just in case, but no luck, I'll have a beer to cool down

As for the detection ...

Hi there,

I was sitting next to the box with a keyboard attached, and it was froozen.

Initially, I selected tbs drivers waited for the reboot, the tbs5520Se was attached, I ssh'd into the box, checked dmesg and I saw the firmware loading successfully, then some dump messages (Hex lines) and then it locked up.

After I tried the other dvb drivers (just in case), the machine was stable, but as expected the device was not recognized.

Re-selecting the tbs drivers resulted in a freeze shorlty after the kodi interface showed up.

I also tried without attaching the device, waited for the boot to finish, ssh'd in, plug in the device and quckly checked dmesg, I haven't seen the hex dumps in dmesg but it locked up again as a result of the device being connected.

I will try it out on a RPI3B+ tonight (which should not make any difference).

Got the 8.9 alpha on a card and on the Pi2.

Selected the tbs drivers and it locks up.

The other driver options in the driver add-on do not recognise the TBS5520SE so no problems there.

Tried without the device it boots and as soon as the device is connected, driver loads, firmware load and then locks up.

Does not sound too good.

Update,

Loaded the cvh.libreelec.**/LibreELEC/8.2_Krypton/8.2.0/ on a card, but curiously it does not boot on my Pi3, it did on a pi2 though.

Selected the original drivers from tbs, the firmware loads (not the same name as in the stock 8.2) but several kinky messages seems to indicate that the something is not fully working (and at least tvheadend server does not like it), I then tried the crazycat version, but same thing the firmware (same as above i.e. dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5521.fw) is not found in the lib.

I found a version here: dvb-firmware/firmware at master · AlexELEC/dvb-firmware · GitHub

and also here : dvb-firmware/firmware at master · LibreELEC/dvb-firmware · GitHub

But I'm not sure it will work with the driver if I can manage to get it in the squashfs.

Ran out of ideas ...

UPDATE: I see that the master on github is actually the 8.9 so I will give it a go later on today.
