Hi all This looks like it could be very good value if Open Source drivers appear for it : http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/accessories/digital-tv-tuner#fb...

Thanks for the replies, All the tutorials I read none said anything about firmware. I figured it out about 1am last night and its all workings perfectly!

Thanks!!

Hi,
I tried the following instructions on an Odroid XU4 (Ubuntu 19.04 minimal with 4.14.111-158 kernel):


git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/trsqr/media_tree.git -b xboxone ./media
cd media_build
git reset --hard 9ccb87d
make dir DIR=../media
make distclean
make

sudo make install

But it failed during 'make' with the following error:

Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

just use normal Media_Build

Thanks, but unfortunately I got another error message:

I tried these commands:

try to apply this modifications

https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/linux-driver-addons/dvb/dvb-latest/patches/driver.dvb.dvb-latest-02-disable-modules.patch

that disables cec building etc and should make it work (just open that file and do it manually or apply patchfile)

F K

Thanks, the build and the make install were successful after I modified the /v4l/scripts/make_kconfig.pl file according to your suggestion!

But I cannot use it yet. Dmesg shows the followings:

is this also present without using media_build ?

F K

Do you mean if I unplug the usb cable (xbox tuner)?

If yes, then my answer is no. The above logs appear in dmesg only if the xbox tuner is connected.

I read the instructions at the end of the wiki page (what you linked), it recommends a reboot (I made it twice) and to check the *.ko.gz files, but there is no such file.

I tried also this command:


for file in `find /lib/modules -name "*.ko"`; do if [[ -e $file.gz ]]; then echo "$file.gz should be removed"; fi; done

It doesn't show anything.

CvH

did you tried an
> sudo make install
at the end ?

Saen Acro

and do not forged


sudo depmod -a

and restart

F K

I tried 'make install' without sudo, but it looked fine. And there was


/sbin/depmod -a 4.14.111-158

at the end (last command in the make install).

Instead of further troubleshooting I compiled 5.0.3 kernel what supports this device by default. The detection went well, but I was problem with tvheadend at first time. After w_scan (I am not sure it was necessary) and pre-defined mux modification everything works fine. :)

Thanks for your help!

CvH

w_scan has nothing to do with Tvheadend :)

great that it works

Paraic McDonagh

Wow these are great and cheap tuners! It took just 2 mins to get them set up in Ubuntu 19.04
Just drop the firmware file into /lib/firmware (as root) from here : http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/MN88472/02/latest/ They show up as Panasonic tuners after rebooting. In TVH, make sure that they are enabled and that they are associated with the correct network.
That's all you need to do!
I got 2 of these for €12 each from ebay. They are MUCH better than the August T230s which they replaced on my setup. Tuning is fast and there are no conflicts with each other or with DVB-S2 tuners.
No need to compile Media Build or anything like that, which is great. They tune in to all the Saorview channels in Ireland perfectly, in case anyone needs that piece of information. I have both USB 2.0 and 3.0 sockets.
They work fine in USB 2.0 for HD programming. Also the built in usb flying leads are great to ensure that they don't suffer from mechanical strain and they are otherwise of excellent build quality.

CvH

sadly the stick has major problems at some stations, but that is not linux driver related because the same happens at the Xbox too :(

It works perfectly for DVB-T Slovenia and Italy muxes
Arch Linux with kernel 4.19.37

Hi C vH, sorry to bother (can't register on Libreelec), but your repository for nightly TVH builds seem to be down...

CvH

> but your repository for nightly TVH builds seem to be down

yes should be fixed this week (wrong bank account at the provider -> not paid :P )

> can't register on Libreelec

currently closed due HEAVY amount of chinese crap spam (2k messages in 1h)

ha, no worries, would you mind to put the latest test builds on dropbox or google-drive? The site is still down and I would like to mess around with my rpi this weekend...

have fun :) hopefully everything is working soon again

My configuration:

HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1857
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-76-generic x86_64)

DVB-C with 4x Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner

VAAPI i915 v1.6.0 (/dev/dri/renderD128)

In short I have the following configuration:
With hardware profile, all DVB-C channels on QAM64 tp work perfectly.
On QAM256 TPs errors occur and after a while the h264 hardware decoder is blocked until the channel is changed.
If I uncheck Hardware acceleration the viewing can be done despite the stream errors.

It is obvious that the problem comes from the USB tuner or more precisely from the drivers, but there could be a change in the TVH to restart the Video stream in libav.
