Compile of OpenElec image with TBS6284 drivers

Added by George Paitai over 11 years ago

Just posted this request in the OpenElec forum but thought I'd try here as well...

Unfortunately the latest OpeneElec community images from Ultraman crashes at boot-up my new HTPC box (http://www.quietpc.com/sys-sidewinder), so I'm looking for a compiled OpenElec image with drivers for my TBS6284 tv tuner card.

My knowledge of Linux extends only to jailbreaking an ATV2 so compiling an image is beyond my comprehension or understanding. I do understand that TBS drivers can't be enabled in the official OpenElec build because of conflicts with other drivers. Just wished an add-on existed, configure it with your specific TBS card and click enable (e.g. HDHomerun add-on). A pipe dream maybe or a challenge for some programming genius.

My last resort is to use Windows drivers and an inferior backend (sigh).

PS: I did install Ubuntu temporarily and attempted to compile drivers for my card following the guide (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS6284) but failed miserably. Fortunately I also have two HDHomeruns configured with TVHeadend - I would just like to get this card working too in OpenElec.
