Xbox One USB TV + LibreELEC?

Hello.

I've spent just received a one of these USB dongles and spent the last 4 hours researching and trying to get it to work, to no avail?

I seem to be getting conflicting info that they work OoTB with LibreELEC, but it just doesn seem to be the case. Am I missing something?

Apparently I have the required firmware and drivers. I installed DBV Tools addon, SSH into Libre and ran '$> w_scan -ft -c GB'

w_scan version 20170107 (compiled for DVB API 5.10)
using settings for UNITED KINGDOM
DVB aerial
DVB-T GB
scan type TERRESTRIAL, channellist 6
output format vdr-2.0
WARNING: could not guess your codepage. Falling back to 'UTF-8'
output charset 'UTF-8', use -C <charset> to override
Info: using DVB adapter auto detection.
main:4007: FATAL: ***** NO USEABLE TERRESTRIAL CARD FOUND. *****
Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and
verify that no dvb application (i.e. vdr) is running.

Only to see the dongle doesn't seem to be talking to Libre!?!?

The dongle is listed though when I run $> lsusb.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide me with any sort of info on this.

Cheers!

I can't remember exactly, you need to install some drivers by Crazycat. You basically have to choose one, then try it. Hopefully crazycat will answer you.

I have one of these running Coreelec on a H96 Pro

If I'm reading this right here: Official Ubuntu Forums

It says kernal 4.16 is required? LibreELEC (well, Pi version) is 4.14, so is Stretch - guessing kernal 4.16+ doesn't exist for Pi distros?

bubblegum57 - could you possibly check the kernal on your install? it's just 'uname -r' in a terminal.

My Mate' VM image is kernal 4.15 so I need to track down a 4.16+ dist to test this on.

when it comes to command lines, I am lost.

I puttied into my device typed 'uname -r' command not recognised

Alright mate, no worries. I'm downloading Fedora 29 now which is kernel 4.19. I actually just came across a post on the R-Pi forums with people asking for a version of Stretch with kernel 4.16 and people mentioning the Xbox One USB dongle, so I think I'm on the right track!

reaad this LibreELEC 8.x images for additional dvb drivers

Thanks for that... I'm using berryboot so need a squashfs img file. I just tried converting my own but following the instructions on Berryboot, it doesn't work because Kodi distros work differently to others, whereby the fstab file is located in the first partition, not the 2nd one like other images. It must be possible as there are lots of pre-made squashfs images out there for Berryboot.

My head is thoroughly wrecked now anyway so might come back another time and etch this to it's own SD card if I can find one.

Read the post a little more and see that there are two driver pack options in the 9 build. Tried them both and still absolutely no joy getting it to work.

Maybe it will work with an update in the future... ... ... or maybe the Pi TV hat will be £3 by then too

Don't do that, berryboot is causing exactly the issues you are seeing by swapping out LibreELEC's linux kernel with it's own - which is probably missing the driver or some patches.

LibreELEC 8.2.5 and current LibreELEC 9.0 alpha releases support the DVB dongle out of the box on RPi, without needing to enable any DVB drivers or other stuff.

Just install LibreELEC directly to an SD card, without using berryboot, or use NOOBS/PINN if you want to have a multi-boot setup.

so long,

Hias

You could have broke it to me a bit more gently than that; 5 hours of my Saturday down the karzzy!

Thanks very much for the info... can't wait to try this now!

Thanks guys, got it sorted last night, and today found the correct mux updates I needed for some missing HD channels not updated in the current preset muxes in TVHE . I'm impressed by the picture quality of SD channels on this thing... much better than the SD tuner built into my TV, not sure if that's because it's being upscaled by the the Pi's 1080p output or something.

Anyway, the network streaming is giving me memories of the old DBox II days, HA! I'd like to 'experiment' with CAs and encryption on freeview if anyone could PM me any info on this?

Thanks again anyway, and Merry Christmas.

Got it work now, thanks

Hi UtopiaOpera,

I'm trying to do exactly the same as you and have run into the same/similar issue. Could you please let me which version Openelec you have installed and which addons/drivers you have installed.

Currently i have tried LibreElec 8.2.5, with HTS Tvheadend 4.2.3-20 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v8.2.112.

here is the output from w_scan -ft -c GB

Hello.

I'm running LibreELEC 8.2.5 from the official installer here... not via BerryBoot and not OpenELEC. No idea if OpeneELEC is supported.
