Problems with Hauppauge driver

I've been using Satdreamgr in flash with a Duo2 receiver and Hauppauge Wintv 850 usb tuner for a while. Problem is the Hauppauge driver does not recognize my Wintv 850 usb tuner. I've installed and uninstalled it many times to no avail.

The only way I can get the usb tuner to work correctly is to:
opkg update
opkg install kernel-module-cx231xx-dvb
opkg install kernel-module-cx231xx-alsa
opkg install kernel-module-cx2341x
opkg install kernel-module-cx231xx
opkg install kernel-module-lgdt3305
opkg install kernel-module-tda18271
opkg install kernel-module-tda18271c2dd
reboot

Then once rebooted, I have to select enigma restart from the standby menu. Once the gui reboots, the usb tuner is recognized and everything works properly. Anotherr problem is, should the receiver be shut down over night, once rebooted the usb tuner is not recognized unless an enigma restart is selected from the menu. Then, the usb tuner works perfectly.

For general information, I tried VIX since it has the Hauppauge driver available in the plugins. Once installed it did not recognize the usb tuner. Tried the opkg install routine and it would not install due to "unknown package and cannot install errors".

Also tried ATV and the Hauppauge driver did recognize the usb tuner. The tuner is listed under Tuner Configuration menu as enabled, but it will not allow the atsc settings to be configured. I tried the opkg install routine and received "unknown package and cannot install errors". I did install the atsc.xml file in to /etc/tuxbox in both instances.

Any thoughts on how to get the Hauppauge driver in Satdreamgr to recognized the usb tuner and not have to keep using the enigma restart?

Thanks.

Hi,


As you can see here: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.p..._WinTV-HVR-850 the 850 has three flavors.

We can include the missing depends, in order 850 to installed automatically.

Now regarding the issue you are mentioning, we need to provide some logs after reboot and after restart of enigma to try figure out what is going on.

Code:

---

dmesg
lsusb
cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets
dvb-fe-tool -a 1

---

If command dvb-fe-tool misses you need to install v4l-utils (opkg install v4l-utils).

Thank you for the quick response.

From the pachaging material the Wintv 850 is a model 1230.

Attached is the putty log file. Forgot to mention a big thank you for the atsc epg addition.

There are some errors in the log like :

Code:

---

cx231xx #0: Changing the i2c master port to 1
cx231xx #0: Reloading firmware for XC5000
cx231xx #0: UsbInterface::sendCommand, failed with status --32

Is enigma2-plugin-drivers-atsc-usb-hauppauge install as well?

My mistake, I forgot to uninstall the hauppauge 950 and 955 driver and will resubmit a putty log.

Here's the putty log with no Hauppauge drivers installed from the plugins>drivers section.

I think the driver takes too long to get recognized, enigma2 when runs needs the devices recognized, if the tuner comes later Enigma doesnt know his existance, so a restarting of Enigma recognizes the tuner.

In enigma2.sh script you can add those command with logging (command >> /tmp/debug.log).

Can you add those commands with debug to file, in order to see what Enigma sees when stats?

Started from a cold boot.... attached are the logs.

Here's the debug file with commands.

According to this the ATSC tuner is available when enigma2 starts.

Code:

---

NIM Socket 4:
        Type: ATSC
        Name: Hauppauge Device
        Frontend_Device: 4

---

So on cold boot the device is not displayed on tuner list?

It's really strange, I cannot figure out what is wrong then.


Edit1.

On the other hand the from first debug log the ATSC misses.

Code:

---

root@vuduo2:~# cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets

        Type: DVB-S2
        Name: Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222)

"So on cold boot the device is not displayed on tuner list?"

No, it is not displayed. It will display after doing an enigma restart.

Per Chance, Did you have the Sundtek ATSC device installed and running at one point with the image you are using now?

Originally, I still had the Sundtek control center displayed in the plugins menu, but not in the systems menu. I did remove the S99tuner.sh file from /etc/rc3.d to disassociate any reference to the Sundtek tuner. But, still the Hauppauge driver would not recognize the usb tuner.

Then did a new install via usb stick of Satdreamgr into flash and did not restore any settings. After installing Hauppauge driver, it still did not recognize the usb tuner. Had to do the opkg install routine, then enigma restart and the tuner was displayed.

Tomorrow, with time and access to the receiver, I will do a clean install again via usb stick of Satdreamgr without restoring settings. Then:
1- install Hauppauge driver.
2- shut down receiver.
3- cold reboot.
4- if usb tuner is displayed, will continue to scan channels.... if not displayed will do enigma start.
5- if usb tuner is displayed, will continue to scan channels.... if not displayed will do the opkg install routine and hopefully a solution is found later.

Installed Satdreamgr-4.0-gst1-vuduo2-20161106 using usb stick. Next, searched directories for any reference of Sundtek using Filezilla (none). Then, proceeded to do steps 1 through 5 as listed in post #13.

Final results are the same as before. The Hauppauge driver does not recognize the usb tuner. Upon a cold reboot, the enigma restart must be used in order for the usb tuner to be recognized. Other than that, the usb tuner is working flawlessly.

Even though there are hiccups with the driver (?), I am very grateful the usb tuner works for my location.

Without having access to the same hardware it's hard, and logs didn't shown the cause.

Maybe we can arrange a remote session to inspect box, send me a pm during the weekend.
