Enable the IT9135 (WandTv) DVB Usb stick

Do you have Rasbian? If so, open a terminal window and try the command with the DVB plugged in:

lsusb

The output will tell me what drivers you need.

Thanks,

Clem

Dear Clem,

It tells me that the command is not found...

"dmesg" for the messages will provide the same information. But warning it may be a lot. "lsusb" in lowercase did not work? try "uname -a".

Dear Clem,

I did dmesg and have it on a text file here:

Unfortunately isusb did not work (I reinstalled raspbian)

p.s. I know that the WandTv use the IT9135 chip.

I also know that there are Linux drivers (on the installation CD) but I don't know how to make it work on OSMC or Xbian.

Thank you,

Ilan.

Try these first:

3. The device manager udev will "automagically" create appropriate device nodes on /dev:
(a) For a DVB device, you should now have a non-empty /dev/dvb directory. You can check on whether this is true for you with the following command:

ls -l /dev/dvb/

(alternatively, you can browse your directory structure with the graphical file manager of your choice). If you have a single DVB device installed in your system, then the output of the above command should reveal that /dev/dvb/ is populated by adapter0. Digging further,

ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0

reveals the character devices associated with adapter0 for which the drivers have control. If you have more then one DVB device, you can see the same for all with

ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter*

(b) For a V4L device, you should now have a non-empty /dev/v4l directory. You can check on whether this is true for you with the following command:

ls -l /dev/v4l

Digging further,

ls -l /dev/v4l/by-path

reveals the symbolic links to the character devices associated with your V4L adapter for which the drivers have control. The most typical of which is /dev/video0. If you have more then one V4L device, you can see the same for all with

ls -l /dev/video*

By the messages, I believe the following will help you install the drivers if needed.

Let me know if this helps by marking this entry as correct, otherwise drop more information...

Dear Dimitrios,

The post you sent me is from 2012.

After reading, even on the second link, it says that on the new kernels, there is no need to do that procedure.

Maybe I miss something?

Dear Clem,

Thank you for your answer.

The problem is that this is a bit complicated to me to compile drivers in Ubuntu (or maybe Raspian).

I'm sure that many users do use some kind of DVB stick with any kind of Kodi with Raspberry.

Isn't a simple solution for that, with simple steps for Raspberry?

Thank you again!

Dear friends,

Now I am completely lost!

I tried to follow the tutorial of Dimitrios on

[HowTo] Raspbmc PVR TinyUSB2 DVB-T & TVHeadend All-in-one - Printable Version

Now, after I did this step:

sudo -s

cd /

wget http://goo.gl/jFh9x -O rootfs.tar.gz

tar -xzf rootfs.tar.gz

cd /boot

wget http://goo.gl/Xj3IR -O vfat.tar.gz

tar -xzf vfat.tar.gz

reboot

My Raspberry Pi2 won't turn on.

What can I do now?

Thank you.

Although many "howto's" from 2012 are still valid, some of them are not. Late 2014 the raspberry pi 2 was introduced. As it has a different CPU, the firmware needed to be updated. So if you download and install firmware from 2012, it will not boot on your PI 2.

I'm not sure where the "goo.gl" links point to, but if that hasn't been upgaded since that was written, your firmware is too old.

To get it to boot again: Download NOOBS or something like that and start over.
