[07:32] <buxy81> iive: you're not here, but i'll answer anyway. i have seen the chatlog https://linuxtv.org/irc/irclogger_log/linuxtv?date=2015-07-26,Sun but the pastebin links are not available anymore.
[07:33] <buxy81> so i don't know if the i2c errors are the same as mine
[07:43] <buxy81> i opened up the device, the only minor difference is that i have Micronas DRX3926KA3 instead of Micronas DRX3926KA2
[07:52] <buxy81> for the power: i have a 2A power supply, and i've removed all other usb devices, so only the tuner is draining power
[08:00] <buxy81> mchehab: two years ago you wrote "terratec h6 already works... at least the one I have here" - do you have any advice for me please?
[11:24] <buxy81> hi iive
[11:25] <buxy81> do you see the chat log?
[11:25] <iive> buxy81: i don't think i have
[11:25] <iive> any luck with the rpi?
[11:25] <buxy81> nope
[11:25] <buxy81> quoting from myself: i have seen the chatlog https://linuxtv.org/irc/irclogger_log/linuxtv?date=2015-07-26,Sun but the pastebin links are not available anymore.

[11:28] <iive> buxy81: just to be clear, the device does work under PC running linux, doesn't it?
[11:28] <buxy81> yes, perfectly, all components.
[11:28] <buxy81> oh sorry
[11:28] <buxy81> no
[11:28] <buxy81> pc windows i meant
[11:29] <buxy81> do you know a good live distro that should work out of the box?
[11:29] <iive> your guess is as good as mine 
[11:33] <buxy81> there is openelec for x86. rpi version did contain the required firmware files, so should the pc version i hope
[13:54] <buxy81> i'm back
[13:54] <buxy81> iive: i could try the same tuner on this very pc with a live version of kodibuntu
[13:54] <buxy81> everything worked exactly the same
[13:54] <buxy81> like on rpi
[13:55] <iive> you mean, it didn't work?
[13:56] <buxy81> yep. cannot read eeprom
[13:56] <buxy81> i had to force the pid uid
[13:57] <buxy81> even to get till this point. (like on rpi)
[13:57] <iive> is this device supported?
[14:00] <buxy81> well... not quite exactly. but it is very similar to some of its brothers.
[14:00] <buxy81> here https://linuxtv.org/irc/irclogger_log/linuxtv?date=2015-07-26,Sun mchehab wrote that one piece worked for him
[14:17] <dongs> how the fuck can something that was claimed to work in 2015
[14:17] <dongs> not work in 2017
[14:17] <dongs> lunix is all about PROGRESS< yea? (on paper)
[15:45] <buxy81> i don't know. this is not rocket science, the em2884 should just simply communicate with the eeprom through i2c.
[15:46] <buxy81> i could understand if the eeprom contents would be different from what the driver would expect, but this is ridiculous.
[15:47] <buxy81> check https://github.com/yandex/smart/blob/master/drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-i2c.c row 630
[15:47] <buxy81> and row 565
[15:48] <buxy81> EINVAL == 110
[15:48] <buxy81> i get the message: "em2884 #0: failed to read eeprom (err=-110)"
[15:48] <buxy81> from dmesg
[16:01] <iive> buxy81: have you talked with mchehab ? sorry I'm a little distracted atm, so I can't look into your issue.
[16:10] <buxy81> tried to ping him before, now i'll try a query pm. where does he live (which timezone)?
