Hi all,
I had a previous build with the same hardware I have now, but running OpenElec. For reasons I won't get into, I had to start fresh. I decided to go with Ubuntu Server for this install. Everything was going smoothly, but I can't seem to get tvheadend to detect my tuner. In Configuration > DVB Inputs > TV adapters nothing appears.
I'm using this device: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTVHD_Volar_(A868R) which is supposedly supported after kernel version 2.6. Obviously being on Ubuntu 17.04, I'm well beyond that.
dmesg returns the following:
[ 17.820494] dvb-usb: found a 'AVerMedia AVerTVHD Volar (A868R)' in warm state.
[ 19.831158] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (1/0)

The device also shows up with lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Also, I have the following structure at /dev/dvb/adapter0:
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Aug 24 21:26 demux0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Aug 24 21:26 dvr0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 Aug 24 21:26 net0
I've also tried starting and stopping tvheadend in case the device was loading after tvheadend initialized. Additionally, I've modified permissions to /dev/dvb/adapter0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
