Tvheadend

Is the tuner enabled...?

EDIT

That'll come across as a bit facetious, it's not meant to be. I merely suspect that new adapters aren't enabled by default.

Perhaps a screenshot of the config details above would help, we can see all of the details then - sounds like you're on 3.4.something, and a lot has changed since then.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Attached is a snapshot of the configuration screen. Do I need to do something to enable the tuner beyond check the enable box? I see that a number of posts show the device path as: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 . Is that difference significant?

Hmmm. My suspicion moves to the mux definitions - nothing appears when you select things? Is tvheadend able to save its configuration, as muxes should be added even if they're wrong...?

I've also no idea what 0.0.0 is as a version, that makes me raise an eyebrow if nothing else, but it might be nothing - it does suggest some dubious packaging, though.

Also, a quick look at the GeeXboX forum turned up some issues with timing - try either restarting tvheadend, or delaying its start initially. At least then you'll know that your adapter is properly up and running before you start asking it to do anything.

Attached is the Add Muxes screen. When atsc_center_frequencies is selected, and I click Add DVB Network, nothing happens. Would that indicate that the list of muxes is empty?

How can I restart tvheadend while XBMC is running?

This all sounds more like a Geexbox issue than tvheadend per se, I'm afraid. Why it won't add the muxes... we'd need someone with a similar version of tvh (0.0.0 suggests they've been modifying it) and US ASTC frequencies to see if it can be replicated. I suppose you could switch on debugging (click the double up arrow in the bottom right, then the cog) to see if tvh logs anything.

Restarting tvh seems to be "systemctl stop tvheadend / systemctl start tvheadend" - again, though, it's platform-specific.

I'm new to tvheadend. I have the same problem as Bob. I add DVB Network, choose my muxes file and nothing happens. I already tried another muxes file, but again nothing happens. The log at the bottom is empty (it only shows something, if I change the adapter configuration and press save).

What should I do?

Marc Hinz - same platform, or a different hardware/OS?

Version of tvheadend?

Have you enabled the tuner? Are the mux frequencies correct for your location/provider?

There are many thing that could be the problem - a screen shot of that page would help - but we'll need a little more information... unless your problem is identical to the OP's, in which case we'll need an update from him given the Geexbox-specifics.

Saru Mannh: sorry for thread hijacking.

The tuner is enabled in tvheadend web interface, see screenshot attached. The interface does not load any mux frequencies when I try to add a DVB Network (the screenshot was taken after trying to add a DVB Network).

Any ideas?
And many thanks in advance!

Can you look up the mux frequencies and add them manually at all? 3.4 had recurring problems with out-of-date mux information as most of the planet was in the middle of digital switch-over... while the database should now be stable, I don't know if that version references the latest available information or whether it came with a static (and thus out-of-date) snapshot.

@ Prof Yaffle: I added today all mux frequencies manually. Now I have all services. Still d'ont know, why automatic adding via dialog did not work. I rebuild the package without changes...

Anyway, now it is working

Thanks
Marc
