TVHeadend Crashing after Driver Update TBS6982

Hi,

my TVH Server worked fine so far. I got a new TV Card 2 Weeks ago: TBS6982 Dual Tuner.
Everything seems to work, but this week i got some stuttering and errors after a few hours. A restart solved the problem.

I read, that the driver could be the problem, so i decided to update it. I followed this steps to make and install the driver:
https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki/Installating

Now, tvheadend crashes at every startup.
Tried an apt-get upgrade and an "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend"

Nothing worked. Here is my syslog:

Any ideas where to start?

~~Install the debug package (dbg), take a look at Debugging and Traces & open a new bug.~~

~~You may want to let Luis know too (ljalves) by opening an issue on github.~~

scrap the above, just noticed you're running an old version, try upgrading to 4.x, see here AptRepository.

I am running Debian 7, so i think Version 4 will not work right?

You can easily build it, heres a build guide I made earlier.. (ignore the fact its for an RPi, it still applies to other systems).

Note: The below method won't include transcoding, if you want that do this at step/line 4.

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static ./Autobuild.sh

----------
Quick & Easy guide to building Tvheadend on a RPi2.

sudo apt-get install git build-essential debhelper pkg-config fakeroot
git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git build/tvheadend/master
cd build/tvheadend/master
./Autobuild.sh

What each lines does.

1 Installs a few dependencies (you'll need to install some more later on).
2 Clones the Tvheadend master branch from github & places it in build/tvheadend/master.
3 Changes directory to the above path.
4 Runs the Autobuild script that will build a debian package so that you can install it in a nice and neat way.

Other info.
The Autobuild.sh script will complain about other missing dependencies you need to install those (using sudo apt-get install) and then run the script again.
Once the build has completed you'll find the built debian package (E.g tvheadend_4.1-368~geeda7d7_armhf.deb) in build/tvheadend.

You can then install it (and the debug package) using.

cd build/tvheadend
sudo dpkg -i tvheadend*.deb

Also you may want to start a new configuration from scratch so remove /home/hts/.hts before installing to avoid issues later on (configuration issues caused by migration of old 3.4 config).
