Linux 2 Adapters 1 visible
#1
Dear All,

This might nog be 100% tvheadend related, but I am sure theres a lot of knowedge here to help me out!

I got two adapters in my debian wheezy server;

1.) TEVII s460
2.) Cynergy Terrtac USB HD RC

The first gets recognized in tvheadend and is visible in /dev/dvb as adapter0

The 2nd, I compiled drivers for and is visible as;

lsusb;

Code:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ccd:00d3 TerraTec Electronic GmbH

I think thats all fine!! ( I compiled the driver myself and no errors)

But....... There is no /dev/adapter1

And (thus?!) tvheadend doesnt recognize it.

What is the cause of my problem?

Thnx!

What happens if you do a sudo service tvheadend restart? Could your second adapter be initialising after tvheadend starts?

Also, check that you have firmware and drivers loading. I think lsusb simply tells you what's attached at a bus level, not what the OS can then use. Check that you have a /dev/adapter1 file, see what's in syslog, see if wscan or similar can access it if it all looks fine otherwise.

Unplug the Terratec and plug it back in, then post the relevant dmesg output here. Sounds like you're missing a firmware file.

In the end I needed to re-install the adapter according to the instructions on the vl4 wiki page.
Although I am not a Linux noobie, I never used 'patch' command before. Now I used the patch function as described
on the vl4 page I managed to succeed!
For the interested, this latest version of the Terratec USB DVD-T HD (With realtek chip) works perfectly on debian wheezy!
Tvheadend also supports debian again (its support was ubuntu only for a while) and I must say its great stuff! I use it
to receive the three free public channels NED1, NED2 and NED3. My client is xbmc 12.1 on a apple TV2. Since the
channels are SD, there is no hickup whatsoever.
Although somewhere in the tvheadend interface it says receipt 21% it's perfect!
