No free Adapter since update

Added by Sebastian Maushammer over 8 years ago

Hello everybody,

i had to update my tvheadend Installation from 3.X to 4.0.8 (release) cause the new kodi pvr plugin would not work with the old version.
Now i did the update and everytime i try to start a channel i get the message "No free adapter" - even with Kodi or with VLC from the web interface. So i think this is no Kodi issue.

My Setup is on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The DVB Adapter is a TT-Connect S2-3650CI.
The Adapter is supported by Ubuntu and show in tvheadend.

Here a dmesg output:

  • Create your network (Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Networks).
  • Add Muxes (or use a pre-defined list when creating the network).
  • Enable and assign the network you created to your adapters This is important. (Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> TV Adapters - Select the adapter from the tree, enable and set the network using the parameters panel on the right & hit save, you may have to save it twice in some browsers).
  • Wait 5-10 minutes for the initial scan to begin (The delay is to give you enough time to make changes to the network).
  • Wait even longer for the scan to complete (Check the scan queue length in the Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Network).

See WIP: http://docs.tvheadend.org/configure_tvheadend/

Thank you very much.

I think the main issue was that the Adapter was not assigned to the network after the update!
