No more trouble with TVHeadend on Raspberry Pi 2 to run PCTV tripleStick 292e
Hi,
I'm new in this forum, so perhaps my question might sound L-driver like. But I have done a lot searching tutorials, blogs and forum threads without success..
I have installed
HTS Tvheadend 4.0.8~jessie on a Raspberry Pi 2 under OSMC
(Linux version 4.3.3-3-osmc (root@vero) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 2 04:01:24 UTC 2016)
Everything is updated and upgraded. Installation went quite well. TVHeadend is running and can be accessed via <Raspi IP address>:9981, so configuration is possible.
A DBV adapter typePCTV tripleStick 292e is connected via an active USB hub. The stick seems to work, as the blue light is on. The Firmwaredvb-demod-si2168-01.fw has been copied to /lib/Firmware.
Bothadapters (DVB-C and DVB-T) are showing up in the configuration. ANetwork "Kabel" has been defined with Pre-defined Muxes "Germany: de-Kabel_Deutschland-Hannover". As a result 27muxes are showing up. So far - so good.
But when the scan begins there are only error messages "*scan no data, failed*". All muxes stay in Scan StatusIDLE and Scan ResultFAIL.
The same happens when I connect an antenna instead of the cable and configure theDVB-T adapter with Network and muxes.
The stick itself is OK. I installed it with a Windows PC and thePCTV Software TVcenter**. Everything works well with either DVB-C or DVB-T.
So there is something between TVHeadend and the 292e not working well, but I have no idea what?
Any help or idea highly appreciated
Bernd
