Ha ha, thank you sir.
I was skimming over some posts and read that there was issues upgrading, so thank you for the heads up.
As far as i can see, for my baremetal install the latest FW available is DSM 6.0.3-8754What I am about to say is unrelated to your request but I prefer to warn you before you regret it. DO NOT update to DSM 6.0.3 or you will brick your box.

Some info on - https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVBSky_T9580
Driver and firmware
Following firmware files are needed for version 1: dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-a30-01.fw and dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw.
And for version 3: dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw
All can be found from OpenELEC firmware tree [1].
As an alternative, you can get the firmware from the producer's site: http://www.dvbsky.net/Support_linux.html
Place the firmware files under /lib/firmware

As far as i can see, for my baremetal install the latest FW available is DSM 6.0.3-8754, i'm running 6.0.2-8451 Update 7.
If it's not too much to ask, could you give me a bullet point breakdown on how to compile drivers and install?
Is there even a video tutorial you've worked off to achieve your 6.1 build?
My linux experience is basic so understanding how to tackle the alone is difficult, trying to use commands that others have used and the commands are not even in the bloody kernal i'm trying to work with
My kernal version is, Linux version 3.10.77 (root@build1) (gcc version 4.9.3 20150311 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG 1.20.0) ) #8451
Firmware for DVBSKY - http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/dv ... are.tar.gz
Media Build Driver - http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/me ... 619.tar.gz
I presume this is the version i need ''media_build-bst-13-140619 (Download) -> 3.5.x ~ 3.13.0''
So when looking at the readme for the linux driver install, should the below intructions work as straight forward or will i need some modifying for my kernal???
---Compile and install driver
1)Enter the source code directory
2)Check and choose one of the target systems, run ‘uname -a’ to get os informaton.
./v4l/build_x86.sh if build for 32 bit system os to support multi-standard, include DVB-T,DVB-T2 and DVB-C.
./v4l/build_dvbc_x86.sh if build for 32 bit system os to support DVB-C.
./v4l/build_x64.sh if build for 64 bit system os to support multi-standard, include DVB-T,DVB-T2 and DVB-C.
./v4l/build_dvbc_x64.sh if build for 64 bit system os to support DVB-C.
3)Compile the source code:
make
4)Install driver, which need super user privilege:
sudo make install
5)Install firmware
unzip dvbsky-firmware.tar.gz file, then run bst-firmware.sh
or copy *.fw to /Lib/Firmware.
6)Reboot computer.
7)Verify the installation is successful or not:
ls /dev/dvb
If the adaptor0 is list here so the driver is installed properly.
---FAQ
Situation:
Kernel message when loading the drivers.
"Unknown symbol..."
"Invalid parameter..."
"disagrees about version of symbol..."
Fix:
Step 1)
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
Step 2)
sudo make install
Step 3)
reboot computer
i've compiled drivers for 6.1 latelywith the links you provided it does'nt look too complicated to try it (at least for dsm 6.1, thats the enviroment i have setup, 6.0.2 uses a different kernel and is not on my agenda yet)
if the dvb driver works, what software you want to use on synology with it?
I will hopefully when i get the drivers working, use this card with DVBlink server.
I'm already using it on xpenology pulling in station from my hdhomerun.
But i'd like to move other to using the DVB card for satellite and terrestrial.
SOMEDAY!!!
I'm not sure if i will have to configure DVBlink with the DVBSKY card, hopefully once the drivers are installed in xpenology, dvblink should pick up the card.
It was straightforward configure DVKlink with the HDhomerun.
-
Cheers for the suggestion, but i'm looking for an all in one solution at the moment.
I'm running xpenology for other reasons and it's working great, this is just something additional i would love to get running to complete my needs.
Reading up i can see other using have been able to install the driver for simular DVB-S cards including dvbsky models, but when trying there install solution i've got nowhere.
http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3066
maybe open media vault (omv 3.x) is a alternative for you, dvb drivers will already be inside as it is an "full" version linux (dsm/xpenology is more of a appliance) and there are already plugins using dvb (i know there is a vdr plugin) -

Hi, I bought a DVBSky t9580 to use with my HP Microserver Gen8 running DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 7 baremetal
The build i'm using does not have drivers for the card so i will have to install them.
Could anyone advise how to install the drivers?
I've worked through some previous examples and got nowhere so i need to start from scratch.
This is the card - http://www.dvbsky.net/Products_T9580.html

Thank you.

Set up a separate steam, one with lower resolution.
If your recording 1080 high bit rate etc and trying to convert and stream it's a lot of the software/hardware to handle.
I setup a separate stream, stream2 in the camera options which is for streaming purposes, much lower res.
It helped with the frame rate issue i had also at the start.
Play around with settings and see how you get on.
Mutlicam streaming is still only at 1fps tho, 4 cams on one screen etc, i cannot get it to stream any better.
Limitations of the software i read before.

Can anyone shed some light on this, going to take another crack at trying to get my DVB card working on my Gen8 microserver

manuelin did you get sorted?
I've been having a lot of trouble getting y DVBsky card to work.
Where you successful in getting your card working?
Did you have any ideas like what i encountered?
Regards,
No, I continue with the same problem, I have not advanced anything
foster182, did you get the card to work? What problem do you have exactly?
The part that fails me has worked for you? (When I try the "make" command)
Regards
That main problems i'm having is getting certain commands to work.
Using firsttris method, i get stuck at step 8
''8.) Edit Makefile:
ARCH ?= x86_64
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /usr/local/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-''
but -sh: ARCH: command not found
I've tried installing packages to use this command but no luck.
I came into the same situation using Duck's method that commands would not work.
Did you have to install separate packages for commands to work?
I might go back a try Ducks method again.

Hi, I bought a DVBSky t9580 to use with my HP ProLiant Gen8 DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 7 baremetal
It doesn't seem to be reading the pci-e card at all, nothing shows in information center and i can not see the card with tvheadend or dvblink.
I came across a thread - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3066&p=91021#p91021, i which the user cross compiled the fw and got the DVBSkey card working, different model but i think drivers are same.
My linux is limited and came to a bit of a hiatus.
Is there anyone that could throw at eye and give me some advice, is there a better way to go about this?
Thank you.

I migrated from the latest version of XPE 5.2 to 6 on SHR without any data loss. It's called a "migration" and DSM handles it perfectly.
@foster182, your doubt is pretty close to exactly what I did. The only difference is that when you burn the dsm6 loader to USB just make sure to enter your config for SN and MAC address.
That's great, can you tell me which version DSM 6 you upgraded to?
Also, if you have a link to loader you used that would be great.
I'd like to do the upgrade procedure as you did, cannot afford to screw up my nas
Thanks

I would also like to know about this.
I installed DSM 5 onto my Microgen8 with XPEnoboot 5.2-5967.1 (17/07/2016) tutorial.
Any idea's on how to upgrade to DSM6.0, i don't want to just start installing whatever because i dont want to screw up my nas.
I doubt it's as easy ''Burn Image to USB Stick, plug it in, goto find.synology.com and Migrate''
The version must be cracked or something no?

Is it possible to do a quick tutorial on how to install this docker on stock unraid?
I have been using baremetal xpenology but would like to now run it on unraid.
Thank you
