Hi there,
hope anyone can help me to install my tbs 6921 card on fusion system for tvheadend.
I found this tutorial on www, but i can´t unzip the driver, or is this tut nothing for me?
Here you can see how to install TBS linux drivers at ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). It should work for all TBS cards.
Get latest drivers from TBS6921 http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/Download.html
It will be http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/...120814.zip.
mkdir driver
cd driver
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/...120814.zip
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v120814.zip
tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers
Depending on your kernel version and if the kernel is x86 or x86_64 (check output of ‘uname -a’) do:
- for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x): ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh
- for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x): ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh
- for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux): ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
sudo ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
sudo make && sudo make install
Reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:
sudo shutdown -r now
After reboot check that the newly installed driver is loaded correctly:
dmesg | grep cx23885
If everything is OK, the output from the above command should be similar to:
