I tried to rebuild the Banana Pi image with kernel 3.19.7 adding the configuration from here to the next config before rebuilding. I get a lot of prompts and I said m for modular or Y for yes to each of them.

 

The tuner still isn't showing up in Tvheadend. I can donate some BTC so you have a test unit to help get this working.

After installing the drivers I do get this but I can't use it in any dvb app I try. The overall procedure I used was exactly the same as what is working on the Raspberry Pi with Minibian.

[  243.265567] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform
[  243.416735] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2013, idProduct=025f
[  243.416754] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2
[  243.416765] usb 1-1: Product: PCTV 292e
[  243.416774] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: PCTV
[  243.416783] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 0011443350

The USB device shows up but I think at least those lines don't show any driver taking it. You might still be missing the right one.

 

Do you get any /dev/video* files?

XTL, it is the exact same driver I used on the Pi 2 which is also an ARMv7 device. I am fairly certain this is a kernel issue as others on the lemaker forum have had to recompile kernels to support DVB devices for Bananian.

I tried lot of things to make my usb tuner working on this kernel, but after unsuccess I loaded 3.4.1XX kernel. After that Mythtv on my BananaPi recorded first tv show/movie and still working from the 20 of March this year.

Any specific kernel parameters you used to make it work?

 

Ideally I would like modular SATA PMP support and DVB, not have different images for both, hopefully it's possible. Igor, any ideas, do you want the test unit?

I don't use any specific kernel parametres. I only checked "dmesg|grep dvb" after I plugged dvbt stick in and added firmware from my desktop ubuntu based system into /lib/firmware folder. Here is normal output of command above:

 

dmesg|grep dvb

OK, I can test the DVB too but no rush. I won't be able to do much during summer time - a lot of "out of office" time
