  • iPlayer WWW

    Upgrades from 12.0 to 12.2.2 and it works (had to upgrade the version of my slightly modded skin) - all I need now is something similar for ITV Hub. I've had a look at ViwX but unlike iPlayer WWW I'm not impressed.

  • iPlayer WWW

    The BBC are dropping iPlayer support for our Panasonic TV so I thought install iPlayer WWW on my Kodi on Dell Optiplex i5. I first installed on a RPi 4 version of Kodi and it works well but it fails installation on the Dell.

    The Dell is running LibreElec generic 12.0 - anyone know if iPlayer WWW should run on this or do I need to upgrade Kodi or will it not work even on 12.2.1?

  • Changing "Favourites"

    On the side menu I'm trying to change "Favourites" to "Watching". I've gone through the .xml * .po files but making the alteration there doesn't seem to work ie I still get "Favourites" displayed.

    Can someone point me at the right files please. Searching through the files (using XYPlorer) only turns up 3 xml and 44 po files.

  • Power fail corrupts mounted drives

    I had similar problems. In my case started with NTFS but was told Ext4 would be better. With NTFS I occasionally had to physically connect the drive to a Windows PC to sort out problems. With Ext4 plug into my Linux machine. Then some kind person gave me this

    the code to check Ext4 disk on boot:

    Code: /storage/.config/system.d/[email protected]/fsck.conf

    Code
    [Service]
    ExecStartPre=-/usr/sbin/fsck -T -M -p -t ext4 %I

  • Really old 32 bit PC

    I've been given a Compaq CQ10-101SA - its an old 32 bit (Intel N270) 10" laptop and I want to set it up for someone to use as a music player, audio only no video.


    When I received it it was running Windows XP I've inserted a SSD and installed Linux Mint LMDE on it.

    Is there a version of LibreElec still available for download that might run on this?

    OK found posts from 2018 - I'll forget this idea

  • Freely

    Naturally I can no longer find the web page that told me it would switch between freely & aerial depending on stream / signal quality. It didn't really make sense when I read it anyway.

    Overall it seems a good way to track what people are watching. In my case it will get very confused. I record a fair number of films that the first 5 minutes of convince me not to watch the remainder.

  • Freely

    From what I can read on the internet I can't quite figure it out. On the face of it it looks similar to the Plus 1 or various catch up services but incorporating live TV as well. Firstly it looks as though you have to log on to watch anything (some of the hubs are like that now and maybe the TV will remember but I don't know about Kodi or TVH) but it looks as though the stream can switch between internet & antenna depending on the existence of the internet connection.

    Very confusing

  • Freely

    Yesterday I started thinking about buying a new TV (my old Panasonic is no longer supported on TV Hub) went to currys.co.uk & Amazon to see what was on offer and found a lot now offered Freely rather than Freeview.

    Anyone any idea how this will work with LibreElec/Kodi/TVHeadend?

  • iPazzport remote control / keyboard

    I found out that my little iPazzport objects to being dropped on a hard floor, i fact it objected so much I need a new one. Naturally the nmodel I have is no longer made. I contacted iPazzport and they are helpful but they no longer have an Amazon store (in the UK at least).

    Any recommendations for a replacement IR (for the TV) and WiFi keyboard combination?

  • TVHeadEnd - BBC 4 has vanished

    noggin

    As I said before - the problem is my tired old brain. I just tried it on my RPi4 setup and yup you are right.

    I'm going to need to identify what's coming in on which frequency so I can test properly. At the moment I'm recording BBC1 & BBC2 but anything else I try I get recording conflict .

    The RPi4 is running a TVHat

  • TVHeadEnd - BBC 4 has vanished

    HarryH

    I think basically you are saying what I'm doing.

    I don't use TVHeadend server on Windows because as far as I know it won't run. I just checked on line and foundSuccess! TVheadend on Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Note the last bit :D


    noggin

    Thanks for that, its very interesting from a technical viewpoint, but as I said earlier replace channels with programmes. From an end user viewpoint with the TVHat I can only access one programme at a time, with the Huappage Dual tuner only two. It doesn't matter how many are multiplexed onto the same frequency. Now if I could get at them to record simultaneously that would be different.
