Hi everyone

I think my questions will be easy to solve for you. I tried google search and read a lot of posts here but i didn't get THE answer.

First, i would like to verify if tvheadend is correctly installed. i'm trying to make it work with Plex as frontend but plugins (tvheadend.bundle or tvplexend) didn't work at all.
So i tried to verify my installation etc api version BUT localhost:9981/api/serverinfo returns me "1 unknown error code".
To install Tvheadend on my ubuntu server, i used apt/get install. So how can i be sure that everything in my tvheadend installation is correct?

My second question is how can i lock a satellite tuner in vertical or horizontal polarisation mode? My lnb is universal with 4 outputs, not a quattro, If i want to stream all available channels, i need my four satellite tuners to do horizontal,horizontal +22khz commutation, vertical, vertical +22khz commutation. Am i clear? English is not my first language.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Ps my configuration:
Intel q9550
Ram 8gb
DD 80 GB
Digital devices S2 cine series (4 dvb s2 tuners)
Ubuntu 14 LTS
Tvheadend 3.4.28 trusty

Try upgrading to the 'unstable' version 3.9+.

Thanks, should i completely uninstall previous version before upgrading?

Will this version work with one of my plex plugin (tvheadend.bundle or tvplexend)?

The recommended thing is to backup, if there are any issues at least you have a backup. But it should work I believe. If not start from scratch.

Thanks Mark, I ll try this and of course tell you if it had worked.

Thanks again Mark, it worked perfectly...

But (there is always a but) i still don't know how to make my first DVB adapter to scan all channels with V polarization, the second DVB adapter all the channels with H polarization, the third L polarization and the fourth the R polarization.
Can you (or anybody) help me?

ps: how is a correct donation for tvheadend? 40€ is correct?

the Plex plugins are broken the last time I tried them and have never tried since, you'll need to speak to the developers of the plugin about fixing this.

simple answer you don't!!
you just setup all 4 tuners to the same config (network in newer version of tvheadend) and let the software handle the rest

I think you have been told the wrong information about how the tuner works, you cannot tune into all of your satellite channels with a 4 tuner, you would need a tuner for each Mux on the sat, a single tuner can tune into a single frequency and you can watch all the channels on that single mux.
