My problem doesn't begin there, as upon the very first reboot of the Pi and running the "sdr_test -t" confirms that everything is working and I am also able to start the sdr tcp server with the command "rtl_tcp -a (ip address) and everything runs like a charm.. HOWEVER, the problem begins after the Pi is shutdown or restarted. IF I shutdown the Pi (as I did when I decided to relocate the rig to a more suitable location in my home) upon the next restart, the "rtl_test" command returns with the "usb_claim_interface error -6". Also, attempting to start the rtl_tcp server results in the same error.
The ONLY way I have been able to succesfully get everything to work correctly is (while the Pi is running) to unplug the SDR from the Pi and plug it back in. All of the sudden, everything works fine..Until the next reboot. Then I have to go up tp my attic, unplug the SDR and plug it back in and while its a simple solution to get everything working again, having to do this every time the Pi reboots is a bit of a let down..
Research suggests that it has something to do with the the DVB-T drivers but I have tried every possible solution.. Blacklisting, re-installing everything, recompiling and detaching the kernal drivers, I have even tried contacting Fuzz The Pi Guy on Youtube and have not received a response... and I have googled for days to no avail
I am nearly at my breaking point with this project and what seems like an easy fix for others, has proven to be impossible for me.. is there ANYTHING I am missing or doing incorrectly? Does anyone else know how to fix this permanently?
