I will re-install the non working package and try to load the needed modules manually.

MLD> modprobe saa716x_dvb
modprobe: module saa716x_dvb not found in modules.dep
So, that is the problem?
saa716x_dvb module was removed too after applying the patch?

[clausmuus]

After a long time of search, I found the reson for the missing saa716x_dvb module. There is a bug in the makefile of dvb-mb sources. It do not use its own .config file, but the config of the kernel. But in the kernel config this driver is disabled (I don't know why).
I don't know how to fix the dvb-mb makefile, but enable the driver in the kernel makefile for a test. Now you can try the unstable dvb-mb package.
Later I will activate the driver in the kernel makefile as hotfix.

[gr4vity]

Thanks a lot Claus for your effort.
I know this device is bit hard to make it work as it's not supported by mainline kernel
(maybe that's why saa716x_dvb is disabled in kernel .config)
The thing is saa716x_dvb module is compiled just fine without applying the patch. 
Unfortunately my kernel is 5.3.11.202.34 MLD unstable uses 5.3.11.202.33.
I can restore MLD testing snapshot, is it possible to build dvb-mb package for testing?

[clausmuus]

I have now checkin the changes on the kernel config. If you now rebuild your kernel and dvb-mb package, you will get the driver also with enabled patch. In a view hours you can also use the testing kernel and dvb-mb package. And maybe also the dvb package will work for your dvb card.

[gr4vity]

No problem, i can wait till dvb-mb package is available for testing then i will restore a testing snapshot.
By the way, if you check my previous post, there are other needed modules
like cx24117, tas2101.

[clausmuus]

That modules will be also available.

[clausmuus]

Now you can test the testing kernel and the dvb and also the dvb-mb package.

Well done Claus 
The dvb card works with dvb and dvb-mb packages, Vielen Dank!
I will stick with dvb-mb though.

I see no saa716x_dvb module because it was renamed to saa716x_budget.

[gr4vity]

Oh sorry 
It's :
saa716x_budget in dvb package.
saa716x_dvb in dvb-mb package.

There was a difficulty removing dvb package because there is no /etc/modprobe.d/custom.conf.

[gr4vity]

Too bad Technisat stopped producing this dvb card, it's one of my favorites.
Anyway, if anyone still interested to buy it, perhaps you find a used card on ebay.de.

Hi Claus,

What does dvb-mb remove mc patch do?
I don't really remember.
Does it cause a problem with USB headphones?
That's it?

Br.

[gr4vity]

I want to know what does the patch do coz v4l2loopback module depends on mc.
Does it explain why it didn't work when p3f build it?

Br.

[clausmuus]

maybe.
The mc part of the dvb-mb Sources is not compatible to the actual kernel. So the patch remove it and use the mc part of the kernel (or disable all depends, I don't remember).

[gr4vity]

Hi Claus,

What if i replaced dvb-mb mc source with kernel source then build dvb-mb?
Will it work?

If it worked i'll have 2 mc modules then i can just delete one of them or keep them both, i dunno.
