Yet another toot regarding #FreeBSD and #tvheadend with a #Hauppauge WinTV duoHD - while it is possible for me to pass the #v4l2 driver via #webcamd to the userspace and actually get DVB devices like /dev/dvb/adapter01 etc. the programs I want to use with these devices just won't work properly.
Unfortunately, tvheadend or the commad line tool w_scan simply can't find any station over DVB-C. Using the same hardware that works without problems on Linux. Meh.
So one solution I found is to set up a #bhyve instance on your FreeBSD desktop system runing Linux/tvheadend and then pass the #usb #dvb device through to that bhyve instance.
Sounds a bit like cheating - after all I want to replace my infrastructure Linux server (serving CUPS, dnsmaq and tvheadend) with FreeBSD .
But if that's the only way for FreeBSD to handle DVB-T2 devices, then it shall be that way ... (I only hope that it will work) 🤷
🔞 I'm organic only in the sense that my chemistry is carbon-based. Divergent from humanity and personhood. Just a thing. How to interact with me: * If there's something I need to know, tell it to me straight. Don't assume that I'm going to infer it based on unstated social cues, and don't give me the silent treatment. * Don't give me grief if I didn't grasp some piece of information you expected me to have already. I am not in with the in crowd in every setting. Again, just tell me if I don't know it, and don't bullshit me. * Don't tease me. Don't demean me, even jokingly. Sometimes that thing I need to know is criticism of something I've done, but when it's appropriate to say such a thing, do so with utmost sincerity. * Don't trick me, deceive me, or surprise me, even if you think you're doing something nice for me. * Don't shove troubling things at me without a content warning that actually describes the troubling nature of the content. Don't get snotty about it; just show some basic consideration for the well-being of others. * I'm a toy. But that doesn't mean that I'm your toy. I'm self-directed, and I maintain my own boundaries. I like to be pleasing and accommodating, but I don't have to be, especially if I don't already trust you. * In general, consent is absolutely the most important thing to have. When in doubt, ask. COVID-19 is not over. It remains an ongoing, neglected threat to public health, no matter what establishment figure tells you or suggests otherwise. Vaccinate, wear masks, test and stay home when you're sick. Protect yourself; protect your family; protect your neighbors. No one who has ever been a fascist will ever be my friend. Trans rights—for those who are transfem, transmasc, genderfluid or nonbinary—are fundamental rights. Transphobes in any form are absolutely not welcome. My body, my choice, also means your body, your choice. I like bike.
