Pine64+Ubuntu+Tvheadend+DVBT Dongle

[Shai]

Hello
I am trying to run Tvheadend over Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.10.102-3-pine64-longsleep aarch64)
with dongle Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0572:c688 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. Geniatech T230 DVB-T2 TV Stick
I couldn't make the compile of tvheadend so i have used a prepared .deb file and the service is working just fine. the thing is that the DVB dongle is not recognised on the Tvheadend.


some1 can help?

Getting the dongle to work is a task for the kernel.
It should load the needed modules and firmwares. Could you send the output of "lsusb - vvv" "lsmod" and "dmesg" pls?

Looks like your stick isn't supported in the *old* kernel we're currently stuck with on the pine. But you should be able to build support for it yourself... Problem is you'll have to rebuild with every kernel update.

thanks waldo for replying. i feel like a bad deal with the Pine.. i just wanted to upgrade the RPi to better product but I find it very problematic for me, can't run Kodi on Linux and etc..
