Adapter Not Appearing in List

Added by Dominic Robinson over 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to get a DVB-T tuner working under Fedora 23 in Tvheadend - I've tried two adapters now, neither have I been able to get to appear in the DVB Adapter list under Tvheadend. The first tuner was just an old one I had lying around and although it had drivers in the Kernel, I thought maybe it had died because it was quite old.

Today I bought a new adapter - the PCTV Systems DVB-T2 292e which again is fully supported by the Kernel but won't appear in TVh.

I did not build Tvh myself instead I installed it from this copr repo:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dani/tvheadend/

Although I don't have much experience configuring tuners under Linux, I'm pretty sure it's initialising correctly:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 2013:025f PCTV Systems

I thought that maybe because /dev/dvb/adapter0 is owned by root that maybe Tvh didn't have permission, but looking closer at it reveals that it has rwx for every user.

Does anyone have any suggestions around this as I'm totally stumped.

Have you looked at the startup output of tvheadend? switch to the user you're running tvheadend as then run tvheadend. That should give you some clues.

Strangely I just had to add the TVH user to the video group, which is odd since /dev/dvb/adapter0 is owned by root:root.
