Hey together,
I had a working tvheadend (stable release) running under Ubuntu 13 - same config but not unicable.
Unicable switch:
In our new house, we have a unicable setup using the following cascadable unicable switch:
http://www.luconda.de/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/0/00360018.jpg
It's a german switch - If you have questions concerning it, just ask.
4 LNB input lines are attached (2 vertical and 2 horizontal) and finally using the unicable output line in the building.
In my PC there is a DD Cine S2 v.6.5 installed and running under Ubuntu 14.04 (all current updates installed).
The drivers are installed as it can be found on the manufacturer's homepage (with minor changes):
DD Cine S2 v.6.5:
sudo apt-get install mercurial build-essential libproc-processtable-perl
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`
cd /usr/src
sudo hg clone
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental/
cd media_build_experimental
sudo make download
sudo make untar
sudo make clean
sudo make distclean
sudo make -j4 (to use 4 cores)
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ddbridge
sudo reboot
Kernel version is:
Linux HTPC 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
tvheadend (current git version) installation:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget
sudo apt-get install libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
git clone
https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
cd tvheadend
./configure
make
./build.linux/tvheadend (started with -C first)
tvheadend config
Well, this is the part where I have no idea how I may set it up correctly.
I tried different things - could scan channels, but xmbc tells me always "No free adapter".
I am unsure where and how to setup unicable frequencies and ID/Scr correctly.
I could not find usual tutorials or informations on how to set this up. I hope anyone can explain me this step by step.
I read also things about a unicable kernel patch - but I dont know if this is still needed nor if it is available.
Many thanks in advance!

And now additionally the dropdown box for "pre-defined" muxes is empty and stays empty - also after page reload, and even after reboot. wtf? :)

I have a Cine S2 + DuoFlex S2 v.6.5, switch with two dishes, Ubuntu 12.04, tvheadend 3.4.27 running.
In the configuration tab read the help, that should get you going.
This is what I did:
# choose an adapter
# setup the two satellite configurations
# add dvb network by location for both satellite configurations - make sure to add the config for the selected network
# let tvheadend find the muxes
# map dvb services to channels
That worked for me.
Kai Schwarz
Hey there,
but you don't useunicable, if I am correct?
3.4 is not working with unicable as far as I have in mind.

Matthias Strack
Right, unicable support ist still broken :(
But you can try seifes fork (based on 3.5) which works perfectly with unicable
https://github.com/seife/tvheadend
Kai Schwarz
With the current github build unicable should work. They fixed a config parser issue in the last days.
If not, see my ticket above - there's a patch added.
If you have questions do not hesitate to ask.
Concerning seife's build: I couldn't compile it under Ubuntu 14.04 (ffmpg issue as I read later) so that I just waited on this bugfix.
All my unicable problems have been fixed.

Hi Kai,
it had also a ticket open
https://tvheadend.org/issues/1937
But it doesnt work for me.
Scan gets only data from some transponders, changes in SCR# or freq doesnt affect anything.
confused....
Kai Schwarz
Hi,
well at least the bug that your adapter can not get opened after restart, should be fixed.
I had no problems while searching channels... ok perhaps 5 muxes failed, but I can use all programs I need.
Here the steps to update your github build in the right way. I don't know if you're familiar with this - just want to be sure:
stop tvheadend
cd <your tvheadend github folder>
git pull
./configure
make clean
make distclean
make
and perhaps make install - if you did this also before.
start tvheadend
configure your adapter(s)
delete all muxes/services/programs
trigger a new scan.
When finished, restart tvheadend and I hope you can see then that the adapter(s) can be opened in the right way.
The steps "make clean" and "make distclean" are optional, but they may resolve also some issues (I often stumble over these steps while reading threads) - so give them also a try.

Yeah the adapter bug has gone, try it from scratch now.
Matthias Strack
Same sh*t:
mpegts: 11332.25H in Bumbes - scan no data, failed
Transponder 11332.25H is party of Skys Program :-|
Kai Schwarz
well ok, i cannot help you with the failed scans. My target was to help you with the adapter problem :)
Matthias Strack
Thx anyway :)
Sascha Kuehndel
Hi Matthias,
are your problems still there?
Can try https://github.com/InuSasha/tvheadend/tree/fixes/bug2229-en50494?
Please, do the scan with no other device activ, except the devices in TVH.
Thanks,
Sascha

Matthias Strack
Thx,ill try it when im at home, on vacation right now
Matthias Strack
No effect, still doesnt find all services.
Just french, spain, only some german (sat1,rtl,rtl2) channels.
Sascha Kuehndel
Hi Matthias,
that are bad news.
Can you give us some debug/trace logs?
Without, we will have no chance to fix your problem.
regards,
Sascha
Matthias Strack
Sure, running a new scan from a 'fresh' installation.
Debug log attached...until tvheadend crashed :)
Some strange entries:
2014-09-03 14:14:50.244 [ DEBUG]:mpegts: 11739V in astra - no free tuner available
2014-09-03 14:14:50.245 [ DEBUG]:mpegts: 10891.25H in astra - no free tuner available
??
Kai Schwarz
no free adapter just means that all of your adapters are busy. the reason may be a misconfiguration - or they are busy ;)
If you have two adapters with the same name (like I had) rename them and this makes your life a bit easier while searching problems.
e.g.Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #0 and Conexant CX24116/CX24118 : DVB-S #1.
I also had this error message and the reason was a misconfiguration (ok, the reason was the bug in the config-parser module in my case).
Best Kai
Matthias Strack
Well, i have just one adapter,and if its busy while scanning,the error makes sense :)
