Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - DLK - 22nd Mar, 2013 01:48 PM
Thank you for this resource.
The xbian-XBMC r-pi does a remarkable job of displaying streamed content from the household LAN. If I can add PVR functionality to it, I'll have a really decent media center.
I'm trying to make a Hauppauge 950Q tuner work with tvheadend. I understand that the necessary drivers are supposed to be included with this build (3.6.1.1+). The required firmware (dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw) exists in /lib/firmware. However, the drivers apparently are not loading automatically. The tuner does not appear in tvheadend's TV Adapters list.
- Is there a listed procedure for installing all necessary drivers for this device? I've been unsuccessful in finding this on the web.
- Are there other things that must be done to the system to make this tuner work?
Thanks again-Dan

What are the driver/modules this device needs?
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - DLK - 26th Mar, 2013 12:42 PM
Thanks for the reply. Sorry my reply took so long.
As near as I can tell, drivers are needed for the following:
from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950Q#Drivers...
Xceive XC5000 (tuner and analog demodulator)
Auvitek AU8522 (A/V decoder analog demodulator [not used], and digital demodulator)
Auvitek AU0828 (USB bridge)
Assuming that these would be included with the v4l drivers I've attempted to use the procedure outlined at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers, but I see a failure when I run the build script:
Code:

I just compiled a massive amount of linuxtv driver, can you check if your's is included as well:

@CurlyMo
can you add this one?
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ITE_IT9135
if too many work , try to managed myself, but have to install kernel headers before.
Thanks.
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - CurlyMo - 26th Mar, 2013 10:32 PM
That driver has been supported for a while...
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - DLK - 26th Mar, 2013 11:57 PM
That's a boatload of drivers you've got there...
I see the following entries in the list:
Code:
lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/au8522_common.ko
lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/au8522_decoder.ko
lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/au8522_dig.ko
lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/tuners/xc5000.ko
lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828.ko
lib/firmware/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fwThanks again-

I have removed these boatload of drivers again because it broke other drivers as well. Nasty side effects. So can you confirm what files you needed and i make sure they are properly included.
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - DLK - 27th Mar, 2013 12:47 AM
To the best of my knowledge, the six files listed in my previous post are what I need.
The linuxtv.org webpage lists this device, but does not elaborate on which particular device drivers are needed. http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950Q indicates that
Quote:The digital side of the device is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.26. Analog support was merged into the mainline v4l-dvb tree on March 18, 2009.so it's been supported for awhile, apparently.
Thanks-Dan

Attempts to install these drivers results in the following:

RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - CurlyMo - 27th Mar, 2013 06:38 PM
Yes, they where build on 3.6.11+. Did you download all the kernel files? Because of dependencies, you need all those new files before you load a single module.
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - CurlyMo - 27th Mar, 2013 11:22 PM
I can't get them to work with our current kernel, sorry...
RE: Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request - CurlyMo - 29th Mar, 2013 11:24 AM
And yet again, failure was not an option. I did get them to work but with another approach. I added the linuxtv drivers from the kernel 3.8.4 to kernel 3.6.11. Took me some hours so i hope it was worth it. Can you confirm if the modules worked? If so, then i'll create a new kernel update.

I'm still getting the error when trying to install these.
