TBS 5925 (Based on OpenPLi) Enigma2 Support!

[rempfer]

I have installed OpenATV 6.4 (18 February 2022) on my Octagon SF8008 4K UHD receiver. I've read through this thread pretty carefully and I think the TBS5925 tuner has all its components present in the OS, however I do not see the USB tuner in the "Select Tuner" menu. I've tried plugging the tuner into the rear port (USB 2.x?) and the side port (USB 3.x?) of the SF8008 but no luck so far. What might I be missing?

The 5925 drivers are pre-installed in that image. Plugging the tbs device into the receiver before image installation will be ok It will also blindscan a bit different than your ATV image.

Thanks, el bandido. I get the same result with the North American Project 4.2 Test Image. Is there step I'm missing to trigger the TBS5925 tuner to show up in the tuner list?

EDIT: Should I ask this question instead in Octagon SF8008 TNAP 4.2 Test Image - Discussion? Would that be okay?

There is nothing you are missing. Looks like there is something missing in the driver build. Let me se if I can do anything about it.

The kernel patch file is missing and will need some modifications to allow tbs 5925 to run in the sf8008.

I discovered this as well. I'm enough of a novice that the needed modifications look pretty difficult. Does the kernel itself need to be patched or can the kernel simply load settings from a configuration file? (How difficult is this?)

Thanks, el bandido!

A tbs 5925 patch file modifies the linux distribution that is provided by the manufacturer. So it is really no big deal to do as long as it works. I will see what can be done with it.
