[Bug 458444] Re: dvb-usb-af9015 should be updated to the latest version to resolve some issues
When I use firmware 4.65 the tuner works and lock on all available dvb tv stations but I get the repeated errors in dmesg. "af9015: command failed:255 dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event." When I use firmware 4.7~ and 4.95 I do not get the errors but the tuner will not lock on a station. I am using karmic 2.6.31-14 with no updates in Australia I do not need to use the remote as its on my headless backend. Is there a way I can disable the polling altogether? -- dvb-usb-af9015 should be updated to the latest version to resolve some issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thankyou so much for your help BernardB It worked as soon as I rebooted! I have a winfast/leadtek gold dtv dongle. A leadtek dtv1000s a gigabyte ga-gc230d (intel atom) motherboard 1 gig of ram (will upgrade to 2gig shortly) 500g wd sata hdd This polling issue has been annoying me for weeks as it has been stopping the back end from shutting down when not recording/or performing tasks. Ive made and installed the drivers so many times its silly. (This could be part of my problem perhaps ) Item fixed! I might buy another now its working!

I havent tried simply adding the 4.95 firmware to a vanilla mythbuntu karmic install and seen what happens... It might just work! I'll have a go when I get time. I've fiddled way to much with the make and install commands on this system knowing sweet stuff all about what is going on. In karmic one is supposed to install the full kernel source tree according to the mythtv wiki. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Leadtek_Winfast_DTV_Dongle_Gold I had/have no idea how to do this as I'm a linux noob. I would like to know though! Without the full kernel source tree the make fails with a heap of FIREDTV errors. I over come this though by using this command which was suggested for a hauppage card with a simular requirement of the full kernel source tree. "make CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV:=n || return" Yet the tuner still would not lock with anything but the 4.65 firmware. I was checking each time in dmesg to find out what firmware was loading. I also noticed some people suggesting to install the firmware in /lib/firmware and others /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/ what difference does this make? I'd like to learn a lot more about this stuff cheers Rileyp Thanks again BernardB You made my weekend! -- dvb-usb-af9015 should be updated to the latest version to resolve some issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

just an update for all and sundry. I did a clean install of karmic and plugged in my leadtek gold usb tuner purchased ~3 weeks ago It loads 4.65 firmware and works out of the box but has the polling issue with the remote. I then removed and plugged into a windows pc and installed the 4.95 firmware on my karmic install. I plugged it into karmic and it loaded the 4.95 firmware. It would lock on channels but would take up to 2 minutes to lock. The polling issue was not present. So If you want a cheap tuner in Aus these are great for a mythtv backend where the remote isnt required. All you need do is this: echo "options dvb-usb-af9015 remote=-1" > /etc/modprobe.d/no-af9015-remote.conf which will disable the polling and you have a cheap dvb tuner that works great. -- dvb-usb-af9015 should be updated to the latest version to resolve some issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
