Can someone please provide instructions for how to remove the current (vendor) drivers for this device, so that i can then install it again with ljavles's version. i have visited his page, but this doesn't seem to provide the instructions to complete to uninstall the existing install.

i am on version 3.4.27 on a hp microserver, but get the repeated continuity counter errors are some period of inactivity.

thanks

On the Installation page https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki/Installating it says "If you find module load errors like "module has wrong symbol version" means that there still are old modules from your previous media tree installation (usually duplicated modules in two different places)." - You can use this method to remove the old install.

sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/*

- You also may need to update the kernel..

Hope this helps.

thanks for the confirmation, which is what i was looking for.

will it impact any other part of the system's configuration? as there are many other subfolders at that /lib/mod...../media/ level...

I tried to upgrade from an existing version, as TVHeadend wasn't showing all the adaptors or able to playback. I think there was a minor kernel upgrade at some point too from 3.2.0-67 to 3.2.0-68.

The upgrade using the ljalves drivers failed. So I tried to install from scratch. On both occasions, I get the following errors during the "make" command:

Is there something wrong? Or something I need to do?

You need a newer kernel, it works on 3.10.38 (what I use), I tried to build for 3.2.* and it failed like yours.

No, I got it compiled in the end. Another thread on the GitHub site was having the same issue and another pointed out to download an earlier version of 1 of the patches during the compile steps.

All sorted. Well for now... And ryder cup is on this week, so I am not changing anything that could interrupt live tv!!! Haha
