Install make, gcc, and kernel headers for your distribution. Then run:
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ctn91xxYou should see a network interface when you run ifconfig -a called ctn0
You can set a static IP address on the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet (don't use 192.168.200.1) or just use a dhcp client to get an IP address for it.
The InfiniTV device webpage will be available at http://192.168.200.1 From there you can tune via frequency or channel number. Only ClearQAM and CCI=0 content is available on linux due to lack of DRM support.
Access video via a special device file created under:
/dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0-5
You can run mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 to play video
off the first tuner. Depending on your system, extra buffering via the shell
might improve performance. E.g.
cat /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 | mplayer -cache 8192 -More than one InfiniTV is handled by creating more network interfaces (ctn1,ctn2,etc...). The IP assignment scheme is:
- 192.168.200.1
- 192.168.201.2
- 192.168.202.3
- 192.168.203.4
- etc..
DKMS is a handy way of making sure that kernel modules are rebuilt and installed when kernels and other components of a system are updated or installed.
Make sure dkms is installed on your system (apt install dkms on Ubuntu), and run the following in your terminal:
## Go to the kernel module source directory
cd /usr/src/
## Clone this repo and name it in a way that DKMS can understand
sudo git clone https://github.com/JamesRHarris/infinitv_pcie.git ctn91xx-1.0
## Add the module to dkms
sudo dkms add ctn91xx/1.0
## Build the modules for installed kernels
sudo dkms autoinstall ctn91xx-1.0Now you should just have to reboot and the module should be loaded, and will automatically be rebuilt for future kernel updates!
## Go to the kernel module source directory
cd /usr/src/
## Pull the latest changes
sudo git pull
## Build the modules for installed kernels
sudo dkms autoinstall ctn91xx-1.0
