[04:08] <miasma> hi guys, any suggestions what could have gone wrong? I compiled kernel 4.7.1 with all linux media stuff and get "DVB: Unable to find symbol r820t_attach()" when plugging in a dvb stick. it's a chinese cheap astrometa http://pastebin.com/ZCNJYay1
[04:09] <miasma> there's kernel modules available for r2832, mn88472, mn88473, r820t
[04:10] <miasma> otoh, i tried the same sticks with another arch linux systems. the dvb-t worked fine, but apparently something is missing to tune the mn88472/88473
[04:55] <xdarklight> miasma: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d287a4ef927cd31611e19525b26ddb7a9c5bfa97 this one only made it into linux 4.8
[04:55] <xdarklight> you can also enable CONFIG_DVB_MN88473 in Arch Linux' kernel config manually and rebuild
[04:55] <xdarklight> ah wait, I misread that
[05:08] <miasma> xdarklight: i compiled my own kernel from kernel.org 4.7.1 sources, but I could try wih 4.8 or rebuilding the arch kernel
[05:10] <miasma> xdarklight: i'm just a bit confused why it couldn't find the symbol. I enabled all the modules in 4.7.1 menuconfig. tried various combinations (compiling in the kernel / as module). the same error msg like that ^
[05:35] <miasma> I actually get the same problem with kernel 4.8.0-rc2. maybe I'm still missing some option
[06:02] <miasma> ok the problem was some missing i2c mux config in kernel configuration
[06:07] <miasma> nope. sorry for spamming. it didn't work
[07:56] *** xfz has left 
[14:11] <miasma> crope: hi, I realized that you had made some success with dvb-c & astrometa dvb-t2. I managed to compile a working kernel 4.8.0-rc2 with all the stock rtl-2832, mn88473, mn88472 and r820t stuff. I also found the mn88472/mn88473 firmware files from your page. after booting the system and plugging in the device, it doesn't show a frontend for DVB-C. e.g. w_scan won't scan dvb-c channels. do I still need some patches for the mn88473/mn88472?
[17:50] <intracube_afk> hi, I'm trying to find a way to blind scan using my TBS 6983
[17:50] <intracube_afk> this article suggests using szap-s2: http://www.buydvb.net/blog/how-to-do-dvb-s2s-blindscan-on-linux.html
[17:51] <intracube_afk> but it looks like szap-s2 needs an initial scan file, which doesn't make sense
[17:52] <intracube> are there any utilities that can direct a card to tune to a specific freq + polarization?
[17:52] <intracube> (obviously without the need for entering FEC, symbol rate)
