TVHeadend not detecting reciever - Tutzelki - 14th Jan, 2014 09:08 PM
Hi,
I run into a little problem when trying to configure tvheadend from xbian-package-tvheadend.
It did not detect any "TV adapters". After searching for ever for a reason why my HVR-930C would not be detected even if it was loaded properly (checked lsmod), I finally run tvheadend not as service but manually to see the output. And there it was, some permissions to the video adapter were missing. If you have a similar problem just do the following:
ssh into your raspberry
Terminal
sudo stop tvheadend #if it is already running
sudo gpasswd -a xbian video
sudo start tvheadend
Additionally the firmware for my adaper was missing so I had to copy it from my ubuntu workstation.
edit: Changed initial work arround to permanent fix

Firmware files are rarely part of distribution / driver package. many times fw is closed code not possible to distribute under GPL or similar.
I will issue a fix if xbian is not part of video. Should be part of video and input. apparently is not on .img. will be fixed by xbian-update.
thanks for bringing this to our attention.
