Issues with tvheadend / DVB

Hi,

just tried to get tvheadend running on my mox.

First of all: automatic installation is broken. It was unable to start as it was trying to bind to a non existing ip address. The config file says:

# If bindaddr is not set, it will default to LAN IP address (uci get network.lan.ipaddr).

uci get network.lan.ipaddr outputs 192.168.1.1

That ip address does not even exist on my mox.

I have set it manually to bind to the LAN ip address of my mox and was able to start it. However, the webapp link /tvheadend/ does not work, gives me a 503 Service Unavailable. I have to open moxip:9981 to be greeted by the tvheadend configuration assistant.

Anyway, it seems my device Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek RTL2838UHIDIR is not supported at all as the packages I found and that got installed by the meta package were:

kmod-dvb-rtl2830 - 5.15.86-1-0bf36160df7b0fd7f6754b5fd2ce90c9 - Realtek RTL2830 DVB-T
kmod-dvb-rtl2832 - 5.15.86-1-0bf36160df7b0fd7f6754b5fd2ce90c9 - Realtek RTL2832 DVB-T

So end of journey here I guess?

I have removed both kmod packages again, now Reforis is dysfunctional:

Unhandled Exception
An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.

Luci and SSH are still working.

Rolled back a snapshot, still same error.

Rolled back to an older snapshot, Reforis works again.
