[SOLVED] Problem: Delivery System is not Supported

Hi,

I am 3 days into trying to make a linux based TV server/backend. 2.5 days spent on mythTV, now i am trying to get Tvheadend working.

So far, it has been a FAR better experience. I have already had one channel (ITV1 HD) working on my XBMC front end.

However, all is not well.

I am constantly seeing the following message in dmesg

tbs6981fe - delivery system 0 is not supported

my OS is archlinux with a 3.3.6 kernel. Everything is new because I built it fresh 3 days ago.
the DVB-S2 card is a TBS 6981. I believe it is setup correctly, and with firmware. my dmesg suggests everything is okay.

On my first attempt with tvHeadend (before noticing the message in dmesg) I had configured about 4 channels including ITV1 HD. I was expecting many many more.

I'm running the muxing part again to make sure it wasn't my fault.

I have found little information about this, other than an argument with little resolve:
[[http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/8314/]]
im not sure of the relevance.

Sorry for my english, its not because its not my natural tongue. it is. im just completely shattered by the complexities of DVB and linux.

Cheers,

Andy

update:

new muxing process didn't reveal any services, and the mapping button is not enabled.

don't know why.

i am sure the dvb card works as i have produced quite long channels.conf using the scan-s2 tool.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Andy

Bit disappointed no one could have given me the heads up here.

Turns out its a problem with your Astra 28.2E Multiplex listings and TBS drivers. Has no-one else reported this before? it must be common, but I found absolutely nothing after extensive searching.

Well for the future:

if you find your DVB driver reporting a problem with the delivery system it may be due to somewhere in the stack DVB-S1 or DVB-S2 or both! is being set to SYS_UNDEFINED. I think in a previous design SYS_UNDEFINED maybe have been short for S1 or both S1 and S2, maybe its an exception that the TBS drivers do not handle correctly.

I could not find a way to modify the Multiplex listings that are given in TVheadend. Instead I created all 97 of them by hand from an ini file provided by King of Sat.net in doing this I explicitly set them to SYS_DVBS1 and SYS_DVDS2. I guess I could have left it blank, this would be SYS_UNDEFINED?

Either way, there is a bug somewhere. here's a work around. ^
