What make and model is this device?

DeltaMikeCharlie sorry I just replied, I have found a way, it's just that I still have a problem, can I use the dbv t2 receiver STB to become a tv adapter on tvheadend, because when I try to connect with Tvheadend it doesn't read the tv adapter.

DeltaMikeCharlie I live in Indonesia and it's very difficult to find a dvb t2 usb, like the one in every tutorial.

Generally no.

What is the exact make and model of the STB. Perhaps it has some feature that TVH cn use.

dewa it's very difficult to find a dvb t2 usb

Have a look online, there should be a lot to choose from.

DeltaMikeCharlie Thank you for your advice and direction sir, finally I bought a dvbt2 usb astrometa and after following the steps in the forum, but the tv adapter section does not appear, is there a solution? i used tvheadend running in docker

I have also tried from chatgpt too

DaveH

A google search for dvbt2 usb site:.id shows a lot of hits?

dewa

DaveH thanks for the advice I have found usb stick dvbt2 astrometa

dewa i used tvheadend running in docker

I know nothing about Docker, sorry. Do you need to configure Docker to pass system USB devices into a container?

In your host OS, have you tried lsusb to see if the USB tuner is recognised?

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie thank you very much sir, and now there is a new problem, I followed the tutorial at this link but I did not find a single channel and there was an error statement

DeltaMikeCharlie Forgive me if I ask too many questions and trouble you sir.

DeltaMikeCharlie

dewa Forgive me if I ask too many questions and trouble you sir.

No need to apologise, that is what the forum is for.

dewa Unhandled ERROR_BLOCK_COUNT

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what this means.

Have you looked in dmesg for an error message when the system starts. Some USB devices need a firmware file to be loaded to operate correctly.

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie hello Mr. Mike, let me ask again hehe, I have a problem with the mux, where there are 8 channels in the services section but when you want to map all services, it gets an ignored message.

DeltaMikeCharlie

Do you have any services listed in Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Services?

How does this compare to the channels listed in Configuration -> Channel / EPG -> Channels?

You can manually create a channel and the manually select the service that you want.

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie hi Mr. Mike thanks for helping, but when I look at the channel menu there is nothing, everything is empty

is something wrong

DeltaMikeCharlie

What does your Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Muxes look like?

Sometimes the mux definitions are out of date and the parameters are slightly incorrect. Where are you located and have you confirmed that the mux definitions for that location are correct?

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie yes, it is correct in my opinion, earlier I tried directly using the tv and it worked for me, then I tried again in changing the direction of the antenna, then when I followed Mr. Mike's directions I got some that were on the channel and I added them manually but when I tried using Kodi as a media player there were several notifications on the kodi like “Tvheadend HTSP Client No free adapter available”

I live in Indonesia in Jakarta Province and in the city of South Jakarta.

DeltaMikeCharlie

dewa “Tvheadend HTSP Client No free adapter available”

This is a different error. Browse to the WebUI while Kodi is trying to connect and see how many adapters are free.

You will also be limited by the number of tuners that your USB adapter provides.

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie Did I buy the wrong usb tv turner? I'm using an astrometa usb tv turner, and I don't understand the point of seeing a free adapter.

dewa

DeltaMikeCharlie but the broadcast appears only if we can use Configuration -> DVB input -> Services -> map services, where only services that are not marked ignored in “map all services” are displayed.

DeltaMikeCharlie

dewa I don't understand the point of seeing a free adapter.

You only have 1 active tuner, that is the Sony DVB-T tuner with the green icon. This means that you can only tune to the services on 1 mux. If that 1 mux is busy, and Kodi tries to tune to a service on another mux, the error that you saw will occur. Looking at the adapter status will tell you if that adapter is already in use when Kodi tries to use it.

dewa but the broadcast appears only if we can use Configuration -> DVB input -> Services -> map services, where only services that are not marked ignored in “map all services” are displayed.

I don't know what is causing this. Sorry.

then I tried to play on laptop media still couldn't
