Hi all,

 

I have installed XPE on my new HP ML10v2, and it is working fine.

 

The last topic I would like to get up and running is tvheadend with my Digital Devices Octopus v3 + DuoFlex c/t dvb tuner.

 

I have recognized, that there is in my installation no ddbridge.ko module unter /lib/modules.

 

The card is recognized and I see them via lspci

 

0d:00.0 Class 0480: Device dd01:0005

 

And hint, I what I need to do, to get the modules? Is there any add on package?

 

Many Greetings

You have to crosscompile yourself modules and insmod them at boot.

That one is the only module you need? If you send me the drivers package i can cross compile for you.

Hi JMRR,

 

I had a look into the process of doing it by myself. (Not possible a ... level to high for me)

 

The Card was running in my old HTPC under windows, so I have never tried it on Linux. Have buyed them as many users have said it runs without any issue under Linux.

 

What I have found is this https://github.com/DigitalDevices/dddvb

 

But I have also seen, that someone has started some effort, to get the drivers in xpenology, as I have found them also on github.

 

https://github.com/andy928/xpenology/tr ... b/ddbridge

 

So if you have time, noting else to do Yes it would be very nice and cool, if the modules where compiled.

 

Many Greetings

Try this one:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/31nkgy8ybcj8 ... gpqCa?dl=0

 

here you have 3 folders, open source are generic, and the others are dvb-c ou dvb-ts

 

chose the one you use and test.

 

copy to you /lib/modules/backports_dvb

and insmod nameof module.ko

 

and see wath hapens.

 

side note, firts do modinfo nameofmodule.ko to see if he depends on other, if so, you have to copy them to and insmod them first.

Hi,

 

many thanks!

 

First test with closed source dvb-c:

 

modinfo is not available on my xpe.

 

insmod shows errors:

 

NAS1> insmod ddbridge.ko

insmod: can't insert 'ddbridge.ko': unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

 

dmesg shows:

ddbridge.ko depends on dvb-core.ko

dvb-core.ko dependes on media.ko

 

so you have to copy them and insmod on this order:

 

insmod media.ko

insmod dvb-core.ko

insmod ddbridge.ko

 

try this way.

But the Octopus bridge does not recognize the attached DVB-C card.

But again many many thanks!!!

i cant find online what demod your card uses, maybe thats what is missing, so my sugestion is to you install a clean distro like ubuntu maybe, and install your card from manual and makeit work, when finish do lsmod and see what modules your card is loading, and in what order.

that way is easy to makeit work .

OK sounds like a plan.

 

Many Thanks.

 

Is there maybe a step ba step howto, what needs to be done to build the drivers by myself?

 

Many Greetings
