Ceton InfiniTV driver compile fail

Post by jp.briggs »

I had MythTV up and running on an older machine. Decided to move it to newer hardware, but also decided to just build up Myth from scratch, rather than try and migrate it; so this is essentially a new MythTV install.

Fresh install of Xubuntu 16.10. Installed mythtv with the default repos (sudo apt-get install mythtv), and now showing as:

Code: Select all

$ mythbackend --version
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
MythTV Version : v0.28-2-g15cf421
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.28
Network Protocol : 88
Library API : 0.28.20160309-1
QT Version : 5.5.1
Options compiled in:

I moved the Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner PCIe card to the new hardware, and am attempting to compile the driver downloaded from github: https://github.com/ceton/infinitv_pcie

However, on the first step in the README file (make), I'm receiving an error, and cannot continue:

Code: Select all

I haven't been able to find anything online to solve the problem. Not sure what to do from here. Currently have no DVR capability :cry:

EDIT ctn91xx_net.c

REPLACE:

ndev->trans_start = jiffies;

WITH:

netif_trans_update(ndev);

---

Had the same issue, but was able to compile after making that change.

Thanks for the reply. I wound up rebuilding with Xubuntu 16.04 on the 4.4 kernel, and all is well.

Can you provide detail steps on your rebuild? I have attempted compiling driver on 16.04 with 4.4 kernel and I am receiving compile errors regarding ssl certs. Any recomendations?

I had the same problem trying to install 16.04.2 kernel 4.8.0-36 and -48. I used Nautilus to search computer for "ctn91xx_net.c ". Nautilus found 6 copies. I edited Line 162 using leafpad on all 6 copies and the driver installed and now working. Thanks so much.
EDIT ctn91xx_net.c line 162

REPLACE:

ndev->trans_start = jiffies;

WITH:

netif_trans_update(ndev)

Some kind soul posted this on github. https://github.com/ceton/infinitv_pcie

Download the master zip file and compile.
