Synlogy DS212+ (DSM 4.2-3202) / Hauppauge HVR900 not compatible with tvheadend ?

Added by Peter Weigert over 11 years ago

Hi,
i managed to install and run tvheadend on my Synlogy-NAS-DS212+ and plugged my USB-TV-Stick Hauppauge 900 HVR.
But i found afterwards no TV-Source in the configuration-section.
Do anyone know whether this USB-Stick from Hauppauge is compatible with tvheadend or not.
Thank you in advance for any information about this item.

Best regards

Peter

Have you started Synology's Video app (Video Center?) beforehand? That loads the kernel modules for the tuners, tvh can then use them. It won't help if your tuner isn't supported, but it's worth checking.

Thank you for your immediate reply - yes - i´ve loaded video center before (hvr 900 was been found there - but no channel-scan was successfull).
Tvheadend found no device !
Any ideas to make hvr900 visible in tvheadend?

Hi Peter

I have not updated to DSM4.2 already but on my DS411slim under DSM4.1 I had to install the newest firmware for my HVR930C
I got some hints from: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg40483.html and did the following:

1) download http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/HVR-9x0_5_10_325_28153_SIGNED.zip
2) unzip it
3) copy folder "HVR-900" to diskstation (e.g. /volume1/homes/admin/
4) telnet to DS as root
5) change ownership with
chown -R admin /volume1/homes/admin/HVR-900
6) extact it with
dd if=HVR-900/emOEM.sys of=dvb-usb-hauppauge-hvr930c-drxk.fw bs=1 skip=71600 count=42692
7) copy the firmware to the hotplug dir
cp dvb-usb-hauppauge-hvr930c-drxk.fw /usr/syno/hotplug/firmware
(here you have to check if the hotplug dir for DSM4.2 ist there)
8) plugin the stick

Please note: This worked for me under DSM4.1

And I guess you have to find the right firmware for your specific Hauppauge.
It's probably within the same file under 1) but I do not know how to extract.

Probably here? http://www.hauppauge.de/site/support/support_linux.html

So far, Albert

Hi Peter

As it happens I realised that the above firmware for my HVR 930C was not at the hotplug directory - presumably since the last update of videostation.
But Tvheadend worked all the same. So probably that has nothing to do with your problem.

Have you seen that?
