Compile not working in Ubuntu with kernel 4.13.0-36-generic

[bshant]

When I download the files at https://github.com/JamesRHarris/infinitv_pcie into a local directory, running make fails. Anybody have any better luck compiling with current kernels? I am running Mythbuntu 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) with Mythtv 0.29.

Anything helpfully over here

No. The Change Log on the Ceton page http://cetoncorp.com/infinitv_support/l ... hange_log/ referenced in that post states that the latest kernel supported is 3.8. On the other hand, the README at the github site states that some files have been revised to allow the driver to compile under kernel 4.11.

I suppose what I'll have to do is reinstall Mythbuntu, update to kernel 4.11, install the InfiniTV 4 drivers, and never update the kernel again.

Thanks, this was a challenging puzzle. Nice to know I finally solved one.

It was a pain, but I am now running Kernel 4.11.14. I just tried compiling but got the same error. Did James. R. Harris's revisions work for you?

I now have the InfiniTV 4 working with kernel 4.13.0-36-generic using dkms based on Karl_Shea's comment here:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... st13350770.

Here's the procedure:

Go to https://github.com/JamesRHarris/infinitv_pcie and click on 'Clone or download' to create a zip file of the driver files dated June 20, 2017. Extract the files into a new folder /usr/src/ctn91xx-2017/

Create /usr/src/ctn91xx-2017/dkms.conf:

Code: Select all

MAKE="make"
CLEAN="make clean"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=ctn91xx
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra/
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=
PACKAGE_NAME=ctn91xx
PACKAGE_VERSION=2017
AUTOINSTALL=yes
REMAKE_INITRD=yes

Open a terminal. Run the following commands:

Code: Select all

$ ifconfig -a
$ cd /usr/src/ctn91xx-2017/
$ sudo dkms add -m ctn91xx -v 2017
$ sudo dkms build -m ctn91xx -v 2017
$ sudo dkms install -m ctn91xx -v 2017
$ ifconfig -a

Note the name of the new Ethernet connection (enp3s8 in my case). Open 'Network Connections' and add a new Ethernet connection, picking the same name from the drop down list. In the IPv4 tab, for Method select Manual, add a new address 192.168.200.200 with netmask 255.255.255.0. Save.

Run

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

and check that the new Ethernet connection has the correct address and netmask.

With the InfiniTV card inserted and the CableCard paired, run

Code: Select all

cat /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 | mplayer -cache 8192 -

You should see an mplayer window playing your video.

Proceed to set up the card in MythTV using the instructions here:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ceton_Infin ... ing_MythTV.

Enjoy.

After the dkms install step, I forgot to insert

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe ctn91xx

[bshant]

Karl_Shea observes that in order to get dkms.conf to build against the kernel version that's getting installed instead of the current version, the MAKE line should read:

Code: Select all

MAKE="make KERNEL_VERSION=${kernelver}"
CLEAN="make clean"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=ctn91xx
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra/
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=
PACKAGE_NAME=ctn91xx
PACKAGE_VERSION=2017
AUTOINSTALL=yes
REMAKE_INITRD=yes

Know old thread so probably won't be answered but I just compiled this on ProxMox to try and run an InfiniTV 4 on the virtual server and have Windows MCE access it thru it's network IP. Thought may work better than continuing to try and do a passthrough. I have it compiled and seems to show

I create a entry for enp2s0 with an ip of 192.168.200.200/24 and can ping the address but going to http://192.168.200.200 is refused. I don't see port 80 open only when I do a nmap against 192.168.200.200 I only get back 111/udp is open.

Total noob here, but I'm attempting to do the exact same thing as you. Have you figured this out yet? Port 80 is actually open at http://192.168.200.1.

While I'm able to get my InfiniTV4 to scan channels via https://fhdhr.github.io/fHDHR_Docs/, I still haven't been able to stream videos with it.

On a separate note, could you please take a look at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cant- ... sa.120629/ and see if you have any ideas on what's going on? I was trying to passthrough the card's network interfaces to a container, but failed so I'm running everything on the host right now. I would love to figure out how to do this in a container instead.

[jriker1]

I eventually called it a day. Nothing made sense why it wasn't working yet everything seemed like it should. I ended up picking up an HD HomeRun and network running that instead. The passthru and compiling of drivers wasn't worth it after as much time as I researched the little that was out there.

Glad to hear you got it up and running. I was able to get mine up - apparently, it took like 20+ secs to tune into a channel with Emby - so I just had to wait a bit for it to load. Still wasn't able to run it from a container, so like you, I bought a HD HomeRun Prime instead.

That brought on another set of issues. I had to hard-wire into my server and reconfigure its network settings since HDHR Prime was stealing the 1st configured network interface, and then deal with my cable company to re-activate my CableCard cause it stopped working after I swapped it from the Ceton. It still takes a few secs to tune into a channel on Emby, but tolerable.

By the way, what software stack are you using for live TV nowadays?
