You could also install NextPVR and pvr.nextpvr should also work with it.

Another option is to test with dvbv5-scan to see if your tuner scans channels independently from the backend.

I get NextPVR couldn't be loaded.

Once I realised I needed to login via ssh, I knew what to do... It's just initially I thought there was some way to get to a command prompt locally.

ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/ . You should see frontend0 is present if the driver successfully loaded

In that directoty I have:-

demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0

so I guess the driver has been loaded. How do I know which PVR to select?

Quote from chewitt

The best thing to do is plug the device in and then have a look at "dmesg" output.

How do I get to see dmesg output?

Is a command prompt available anywhere?

Actually, I managed to login via ssh.

lsusb shows:-

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle

but there is no indication as to whether a driver is present.

Is there a guide on installing LibreELEC on a MECOOL KIII PRO ?

I have just installed LibreELEC and would like to see if my Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle can be used with it?

Is there a suitable PVR for use with this device? I presume I would need to add a suitable driver but don't know how to go about doing this.

AFAICT a driver is available here:-

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/scripts/get_dvb_firmware

Do I need to extract it9135 and if so what should I do with it?

Thanks in advance.

How do I go about running LibreElec on a Vigica C90, which is an Amlogic S805 driven box?

Is it possible to run it from a USB stick without actually installing it?

I'm having problems getting oscam working properly... I'm using LibreElec and have installed oscam and can access it via the web interface. I've converted a cline and produced and produced an oscam.server line from it.

Do I need any other files?

I read something about dvbapi settings but don't really know what they are or if they are necessary. Is this something I should look into?

I've managed to install OSCAM, and have looked at various guides for configuring it, but have not come across anything like a straightforward step by step guide...

The OSCAM configuration seems to be done through files in the service.softcam.oscam/config directory

This thread:-

TVHEADEND -> OSCAM -> CCCAM Server Cline - Tvheadend

Shows this example:-

oscam.conf:

[global]
Nice = -1
ClientTimeout = 7
FallbackTimeout=3
ClientMaxIdle=120
CacheDelay = 120
BindWait = 5
WaitForCards = 0
PreferLocalCards = 1
LogFile = stdout
saveinithistory = 1
readerrestartseconds = 5
maxlogsize = 200

[monitor]
nocrypt = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
appendchaninfo = 1

[webif]
httpport = 8888
httpuser = root
httppwd = pwd
httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255

[dvbapi]
enabled = 1
au = 1
boxtype = pc
user = dvbapi
###### for E2 set pmt_mode = 0 ###########
###### for Titan set pmt_mode = 4 ###########
pmt_mode = 0

oscam.server:

[reader]
enable = 1
label = cccam-reader
protocol = cccam
device = 192.168.178.10,55555
user = living-room
password = pwd
group = 1
emmcache = 1,1,2
cccmaxhop = 5
cccversion = 2.2.1

oscam.user:

[account]
user = dvbapi
pwd = dvbapi
group = 1
au = 1
uniq = 0
betatunnel = 1833.FFFF:1702,1834.FFFF:1722

Are these the three files I need to configure for my own setup?

I can't work out how channel order on Kodi corresponds to TVheadend, or how to make a subset of the services on TVheadend available to Kodi.

Where should I look?

Quote from DaVu

you don´t need to change that file at all if you don´t want other shares being available as the current ones.

Are you in need of additional shares? LibreELEC shares a bunch of folders by default.

It's just for my own enlightenment

Quote from chewitt

look at /storage/.config/samba.conf.sample for the default shares list, rename to samba.conf and edit (and reboot) if you want to edit the list

I notice there is no samba.conf on installation, yet I can still access samba share from Windows, so how is this configured?

When I edit samba.conf and reboot the system displays a msg on reboot about filesystem corruption and does an automatic repair which ends up with my samba.conf either disappearing or being restored without my changes.

Does LibreELEC create any shares when installed or do you need to create them yourself?

I have just configured Tvheadned on a Raspberry Pi and specified that anyone could login, but after restarting there was a login prompt for which I do not have a username and password. How can I startup Tvheadend in LibreELEC with the --noacl parameter?

After installing TVheadend server on an RPI2 I went through the setup wizard, selected DVB-T Network, my adapter was found and then I had to select from a number of Muxes - not sure what they are but I selected one and a scan found 8 channels. I thought there ought to be around 30. That's what I get when the aeriel is connected to the TV.

How do I force a manual scan?

I notice if I try to 'Edit Network, I can select Pre-defined muxes but I only get a choice of 8 locations (for Poland). Is this simply a hard coded text file which can be updated?

I also notice under Advanced settings, the Provider's network name is Emitel. Where does this come from? I guess this is the telecomms regulator in Poland...

I'm guessing that I only find the channels on one mux and I might get more from other muxes...but how?

Oops...just noticed...

[Rpi2] Midnight Commander addon

Is it possible to install Midnight commander on LibreELEC for RPi?

It's a handy tool to use when 'ssh'ing into the system.

Can anyone confirm that I can get TVHEADEND working on a
