Does not work with RTL2832 based Astrometa DVB-DAB-FM-SDR stick #7

Open sorabsuperstar opened 3 years ago

sorabsuperstar commented 3 years ago

Hi Jvan

Qt-DAB does not recognize Astrometa DVB-DAB-FM-SDR stick, tells me to "use one with RTL2823U or similar chipset) I am using the 2018 revision of the Astrometa stick as described here https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Astrometa_DVB-T2 . It has an RTL 2832 based tuner (also, but not relevant for DAB: it has a Sony CXD2837ER demodulator chip for DVBT2). The stick works just fine in welle.io and other SDR software such as Gqrx. OS is KDE Neon (Ubuntu 20.04) Linux Kernel 5.4. Happy to provide more information about the device if you are interested.

Strange behaviour. I assume you installed a support library on your system. If you are using a "home-built" version, you could look at what is written on the terminal, there are basically three possibilities. Either the library is not found, ot the library is found but there is no access through the usb port or the device cannot be found In all these cases you get the answer you were reporting

Hi Jvan

 

I am terribly sorry I have not been able to answer earlier. I really appreciate your quick resposiveness; so shame on me that I failed to return it.

 

I am using the App Image release. Havent been trying to compile it myself, because installing portaudio19-dev would break a lot of dependencies on my system (mostly *:i386 versions of system libraries).  

Yes, you are absolutely right, the problem was that Qt-DAB could not find librtlsdr.so.

The reason was that the library is called librtlsdr.so.0.6.0 on my machine.

So a simple sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librtlsdr.so.0.6.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librtlsdr.so did the trick for me. The application is starting now and recognizing the Astrometa stick :)

 

Thanks again and keep up your good work

 

Best regards

Sören
