Thnx anyhow. I already talked to Digital Devices support. It might ba a BIOS setting, they said. Going to check this out tonight after work

Problem is, it doesn't fit... The card touches with one of the components the cooling, which brakes it... My first card has broken down because of it...

I have an ASRock 890GX Extreme 3

http://www.asrock.nl/mb/AMD/890GX%20Extreme3/

If you look at the picture in the link up, I´ve installed my first card in the left blue slot. In the right blue slot I have my videocard. The second one I´ve installed in the second from left white slot.
I´ve just pulled out the first one to see if the second one is recognized alone. It isn´t. Putting the second one in the blue slot still not recognized. Then I put the first one on it´s original place, and that one works.

So I thought the card may be broken. I´ve put the second one in another PC, and figure out, it does work!

Now I really stuck...

Hi everyone,

I have 2 stand alone Digital Devices Cine C/T v6 cards. I had one in my HTPC with Kodibuntu. I installed the second one in it, it is turned on as I can see on the LED's.
But I don't see them appear when I do LSPCI (see attachment) nor I see them in tvheadend.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Thank you Oliver!

I hoped that it would solve it... My colleagues from the UNIX-team are looking into in now. Hope they can fix it.
Else it must be an compatibility issue in Linux with my hardware... Thank you for your efforts!

Or should I give you my IP so you can try it?

What does this mean at the end of installation:

make -C firmware install
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/suheyl/dvb/media_build_experimental/v4l/firmware'

dabusb/bitstream.bin cp: cannot stat `dabusb/bitstream.bin': No such file or directory

See attachment of installation

Hi Oliver,

Apparently I don't...

I'm kind of desperate now. Maybe back to Windows 7...

Hi all,

I've tried a clean install after updating the BIOS once again. I still get the same result when I do i2cdetect -y 0.

I've read about manually setting these things.
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/i2cToolsDocumentation


What I understand is that I can use the i2cset command. Correct me if I'm wrong.
i2cset <bus> <chip> <register> <value>

So can I use the command like this?

sudo i2cset 0 ddbridge 0x1e 1e
sudo i2cset 0 ddbridge 0x1f 1f
sudo i2cset 1 ddbridge 0x40 40

I found these values in thedon´s post.

Hi thedon!

Thank you for your efforts!

I think something went wrong with the NVIDIA driver.... I'm reinstalling it now.

But no change at all...

Is there a possibility that I have to install Ubuntu completely? I mean not the XBMCUbuntu version but Ubuntu itself?
I'm going to start all over after work. A clean and fresh install. Let's see what happens then.

@ Oliver
Which means? That both of the card are not working? But my Nvidia works fine, I thought... I've got a working screen...

Or do I have to install something else? Time to read about it

Thanx Oliver and thedon

Hi Oliver!

Thanx for your efforts man! I really do appreciate this!

I've first installed this card on the same PC but on WIN7. The card was detected then and I had 67 channels found. But they were, of course, encrytped. I've decided to use XBCMUbuntu because it runs much smoother. More efficient. Except for the tuner

I've installed i2c and here are the results:
As a noob, I find all those "--" kind of alarming... Am I right?

Because I was curious about the other used buses:
4 buses for my videocard:
i2c-3 i2c NVIDIA i2c adapter 0 at 5:00.0 I2C adapter

result:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Isn't that weird? That same result is for all four buses. That card is running fine. Or do I misinterpret this?

Cheers man

Quote from UFO

The cards are not useless and they work fine with this driver.
Otherwise there would be tons of complaints from other users!

My guess is that either
- the card is broken,
- there is a strange compatibility problem, or
- the problem is sitting in front of the computer.

Whatever the problem is, I am really tired of reading your rants.

This driver repository is provided as a service to the community. I am doing this in my spare time, i.e. I am not an employee of Digital Devices. If you do not like this driver or think that you can do better, do not use it!

Hi Oliver,

I'm sorry. I didn't want to offend you.
I'm just frustrated it's still not working. As I'm a total noob in Linux I don't know where to begin. I just hoped for some official support from the producer.

After mailing several times with Digital Devices support, they promised me to look into the issues with the driver! Finally!

If there are more people complaining about the driver, please make a ticket at http://support.digital-devices.de/
Maybe then the pressure will be bigger to do something about it. They cannot sell useless cards!

Unfortunately this didn´t help either. Do I have to install some additional modules, like dvb e.g.?

I'm completely new in Linux, so I'm sorry if I ask "stupid" things...

Quote from UFO

Looks like tha card is broken.
Could you re-test it on a different system, if possible on a Windows machine?

Hi Oliver,

I've already tried that. The card works fine on Windows 7... It's a brand new card.
I've first installed it on a Windows machine. This did not perform well. I could not get everything intergrated in XBMC on Windows. That's why I reverted to Linux.

Quote from UFO

Is anything else connected to the ports of the card?

Please provide the output of 'lspci -vnn'.

Hi. No there is nothing else connected to the card. I have the lspci attached. Thank you for your help!

Falls jemand mich helfen kann, aber nur auf Deutsch, Ich verstehe Deutsch, aber Englisch ist mir einfacher Ich lebe nähe Deutschland auf die Grenze.

When I look in dmesg for ddbridge, I don't see the DVB module. Do I have to register them? I can't find anything about that. When I see other dmegs from other users on internet, I see the dual modules loaded...

Quote from heinbloed

If you have devicefiles below /dev/dvb/..

Hi, I think the installation is still not working...

I don't have to directory /dev/dvb...
What do I have to install??? I don't get it anymore...



I´ve added some new dmesg and lspci info

Quote from heinbloed

I dont have your card, but this may help.
(should point you to some hints like this )

Thank you! This helped to compile the driver. The driver is now detected if I do a dmesg!

But I still don't see it in TVHeadend...

Hi,

I'm new into Linux and DVB-cards. Now I understand why people shy away from Linux

I have installed the newest version of XBMCUbuntu. I have everything working except for the Digital Devices Cine CT card. I have been trying a lot and still not managed to get it working.
I came across a lot of sites, none of them with a working sollution. This one caught my eyes as it was recenty updated

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/in…tal_Devices_DuoFlex_C%26T

And it did made me mad! After so many hours working, dissapointment.
Maybe somebody can help me here to get this card running.


I followed this steps:

http://support.digital-devices…ledgebase.php?article=124

But when I'm doing step "sudo make" I get the next error:
