TBS6981

Added by David Hewings over 11 years ago

Hi

I have setup a few tvheadend servers, all using TBS6981 tuners.

The major issue I have come across is the inability to use the 2nd tuner on the card whilst the first is being used.

I understand that some people have not run into this problem, and Adam has suggested following his setup instructions here [[https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/TBS6981]]

I (who certainly does not profess to know anything about linux) do however have an issue with point 9 (Copy attached config to ./v4l/.config). I have downloaded the attached config as requested using:

wget https://tvheadend.org/attachments/download/1013/tbs6981.config

But not sure how to copy it as suggested, as no file or folder exists named config. Should this be created? Should the downloaded file be renamed? etc

Thanks for your help on matter (even if i am just having a dull moment)

I've never followed these instructions, however...

Looking at it, wget should create a file in your current working directory called tbs6981.config. You can then copy it to ./v4l/.config with "cp tbs6981.config ./v4l/.config". That will create a file called ".config", not a directory - and this file won't show up on a normal ls command.

Try these two after issuing the copy command:

ls ./v4l

ls -la ./v4l

... and you should find that you can see the .config file in the second example, but not the first.

Alternatively, if a directory called ./v4l/.config already exists, then there will be a file create in that directory called tbs6981.config when you issue the cp command. Again, the .config folder wouldn't show on an ls command, but will on an ls -la.
