Tvheadend

Check dmesg & see if it has registered the adapters if not you've more than likely had a kernel update & will need to reinstall the media_tree again.

Did you take a kernel upgrade too, when you moved to 4.0.6?

I use in-kernel drivers now, but in days gone by, with TBS cards, a kernel upgrade meant a re-build of the out of tree drivers. You may need to follow those instructions again .

Thanks for super fast replies!

Oki, "dsmeg" gives me a lot of text, but I'm guessing this is what would be of interest...;

Would this imply that I need to follow those complicated instructions again...?

Also, I did not upgrade my Kernel (at least not knowingly...), just tvheadend.

Yes, unfortunately, you could upgrade your kernel that includes the needed drivers but if you think building media_tree is complicated it might not be such a good idea.

Also, I did not upgrade my Kernel (at least not knowingly...), just tvheadend.

Hmmm.. it wasn't too complicated to rebuild the media_tree after all, and yes - that solved my problem - so thanks!

hi
how do i upgrade to 4.0.6 and rebuild the media_tree?

On ubuntu I guess updating to latest version was something like;

"sudo apt-get update"
followed by
"sudo apt-get upgrade"

This would update all repositories though, not just tvheadend.

To be honest, I'm lazy and use "Webmin" (which simply asked my if I wanted to upgrade), so I don't recall the exact command used, but the above commands should work.
SOmeone else might might help you with an exact command how to upgrade to 4.0.6 (but 4.0.7 is out now).

Reinstalling the media_tree was as easy as deleting (or in my case, renaming) the folder in my home directory called "media_build".
After that I just followed the ""Basic" Approach" in these instructions;

Good luck!

Thanks, is 4.0.7 is better?

I don't know, but I'd guess so.
