Adapter not visible anymore after reinstall
Added by Jonathan Laborde almost 12 years ago
Hello everyone,
I have been a very satisfied tvheadend user for several months now. I ran it successfully with xbmc 12 beta. Yesterday I installed the new stable xbmc 12 release and surprise! no more adapter in my tvheadend configuration page! I have tried everything I could think of :
- restarting tvheadend
- stopping tvheadend, unplugging the adapter and starting tvheadend
- switching usb port
- lsusb shows the adapter properly
- dmesg as well
- when I start tvheadend manually in a shell it seems to discover the adapter properly, although there's the classic message "Device lacks MPEG encoder, device skipped"
So... I don't know what to do next. I don't remember if the MPEG encoder message appeared before reinstalling though, but why would it suddenly appear if nothing has changed in my physical configuration?
I run XBMC 12 on a Zotac ID80 and my adapter is the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q.
Thanks for your help!!!
Oh, one thing to add, the adapter is indeed visible in /dev/dvb/ as adapter0 and I tried to set permissions to rw on video0 as well
