What is the point of this cryptic link?

[   17.514740] meson-i2c fe06c000.i2c: Direct firmware load for avl6261.patch failed with error -2
[   17.514786] i2c i2c-3: dvb_meson: firmware file not found

There is no firmware, and I do not have this file. You need to search and find proper firmware that will work with this driver.
You need to install fimrware file like this: Add Firmware | LibreELEC.wiki
so basically there should be a file called /storage/.config/firmware/avl6261.patch and then do a reboot.
As a start You can try this:
https://github.com/availink/linux-firmware-availink/tree/f38a3a9b9906d192075984c7ac1100d51adf75a1/availink dvb-fe-avl62x1.fw.

It is (almost) working!

Iā€™m very grateful for your help @rozpruwacz !

The almost is that I can only tune some channels, it seems the LNB is only working for the lower than 12000khz frequencies, and, of course, all the relevant channels are on 12130khz (Hispasat 30W).
Maybe something related to the 22khz tone?
Iā€™ve tried setting a custom LNB setting on tvheadend (Ku 10750 / Ku 10750 High), with no successā€¦

It may be relevant that i had the same issue under the factory Android firmwareā€¦

329

which firmware did You use ? taki shared the link to firmware that he used. @taki did You have the same problem ? firmware that I linked is the newer version compared to taki version. It is best to check both. or even check older version using history browser: History for availink - availink/linux-firmware-availink Ā· GitHub and the clicking on ā€œview code at this pointā€.
also please share dmesg output

330

Iā€™ve just tried all the firmware versions (5 of them) with the same results.

As I (still) canā€™t post URL links, here goes the current dmesg in cryptic mode:

Many thanks!

Fixed, you are a member. Congrats!

These days I just read the topics and canā€™t do much. But with avl6261+av2018 I can catch all frequencies on Turksat 42est. I didnā€™t see any problems. Unfortunately, I do not have another satellite dish. I think you should check your deviceā€™s 13/18 volts. lnb power ic may be broken. Also, the driver 3.8.5 in ā€œedisonV0_Version.zipā€, which connects the tuner itself, is more modern.

333

If @Lithium has the same problem on stock android firmware then I would say it is a hardware problem. Either on the box side or the antenna side. If it is possible test antenna with different receiver.

334

@Lithium I need to test firmware file packaging into AVL6862 addon.

Please do such test:

  1. remove /storage/.config/firmware/avl6261.patch
  2. reboot
  3. the dvb tuner should not work at this moment
  4. install this addon version
    AVL6862-22.0.10.4.zip (515.6 KB)
  5. reboot
  6. the dvb tuner should work

after that paste here output of dmesg and ls -al /lib/firmware/avl6261.patch

335

Could you send me the CE NO for GTCombo? Because I donā€™t know how to build it, and I donā€™t have a Linux computer either :frowning:

336

Try latest CE-NO nightly and latest AVL6862 nightly addon. There should be already some gtcombo support. But still there is missing dvb-t/c (currently only demod driver is available for dvb-t/c, it should be recognized by tvheadend but will not tune to any channel since the tuner driver is missing still). Also forget about the vfd, on my CE branch there are incompatible changes made to vfd driver and they will not be merged into the main CE branch since it would brake all other boxes.

hi. for my mecool m8s plus dvb s2x i prepared meson patch for LE13 dvb-0026-arm64-dts-amlogic-mecool-m8s-plus-dvbs2x-meson-demux.patch Ā· GitHub but some changes for kernel config also is for this 1GB box necessary

linux.aarch64.conf https://drive.google.com/file/d/14FjAnOgkzzlMmrYSLjBMQctUGnf1u2qF/view?usp=drive_link,

img le13: LIBREELEC_dvb_amlgx_working_but_must_be_verified_for CPUetc_temperature_rising_after_full_load ā€“ Google Drive

would be nice if this stb box have support in incomming builds with dvb merged

this is CoreElec forum, with LE stuff go to LE forum, e.g. here: Official LE13 Test Images for Amlogic (Kodi-22) - Page 9 - Amlogic - LibreELEC Forum

I found this on GitHub, hopefully it will help you:

Thanks for that I have been looking for a driver for my mate stick and nice to now it will work with my 5530. I also have the GT Mate Combo with S905-Y4 I wonder if it would work with ATSC 1.0 with CoreELE?
