Dvbtune on dreambox. Is it possible?

Beitrag von Basti2 »

I tried to compile the dvbtune utility with CDK, and it successfully compiled, just I can't use the binary on my dreambox. (error message, it can't open demux device).

Is is works for anyone? Or is there another way to receive DVB/IP datastreams from satelites with dreambox?

Please, help

thx

AFAIK drambox is using the old DVB-API.

You may look for an older version of dvbtune.

you are right, somebody also mentioned before that dreambox uses the older API (which one?) than HEAD.

But a strange thing. AS i remember from i386 PC and TT cards i use the old api used the /dev/ost/* devices. The HEAD uses /dev/dvb/cardx/* devices. In my dreambox in /dev/ost there are only 1 file: demux0 and that file is a link to /dev/dvb/card0/demux0. I make other links for frontend0, dvr0 and so on, which is needed for my dvbtune (compiled for OLDSTRUCT ost devices). The dvbtune works now, it tune the card to a freq, but won't open a network device. Everything looks good, no error messages, but network device won't opened by kernel. Seems to me the actual driver don't support the dvb_net functions from DVB_API. Don't know where can i get information about dreambox driver features, and what supports from DVB API?

Anyway, I can't imagine that nobody want to receive DVB/IP data streams with dreambox, and no way to do this job with DB.

I thing you'll better ask dreambox specific question on the dreambox support board:

http://tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net/forum ... hp?t=18266

You will get better help there...

just follow the links in the FAQ post.

This is bad, because the othe board _is_ the dreambox support forum.
Perhaps you should try it again.
