Missing adapters after Frimware update to 7.50 on Fritz!Box 6591 Cable

Added by Elmar Schwarz over 1 year ago

Hello All,

I'm using tvheadend (HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1994~gc7b713edb) on a Raspberry PI (Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) together with a Fritz!Box 6591 Cable.

Recently an automatic firmware upgrade from release 7.29 to 7.50 was done on the Fritzbox. Since then it is no longer possible to watch TV with tvheadend. When clicking on "watch TV" (view TV) in the web application, the error message "An unknown error occurred." appears. In the errorlog of tvheadend the error message "No assigned adapters" appears (see also attached file tvheadend.log).

In fact, also under Configuration->DVB Inputs->TVAdapter the four previously existing adapters are no longer displayed.

in /etc/init.d/tvheadend on the Raspberry (see attached) the following line can be found:
ARGS="-f --satip_xml http://192.168.158.1:49000/satipdesc.xml"

In the Firefox browser the URL entered there respectively its content (see satipdesc.xml.txt, <serialNumber> was anonymized) is displayed.

Why can tvheadend on the RaspberryPI (192.168.158.23) nevertheless apparently not access the tuners of the Fritzbox (192.168.158.1) via SATIP? What to do to make the adapters available again in the TVHeadend?

Greetings
Elmar Schwarz

The problem has been solved: the old version of tvheadend (HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1994~gc7b713edb) had to be replaced with the latest version (HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2111~ga1cb8cffb). Since this version is not available in the default Raspian OS repository, a suitable repository was added from which the desired version could be installed (see attachment).

Great forum! Had the same problem and searched the internet for a long time. I finally found the solution and it works again!

Thank you Elmar for posting this - surprisingly complex! - solution that helped me as well. Not only that the upgrade is needed but also how to get it.

Working not only on RasPi/Raspbian but also on Armbian, in my case running on an OrangePi.

BTW last version at the time of writing is 4.3-2156~g51adc0404, still working and expected to stay that way.
