  • External USB DVB-T2 for LE

    That "Astrometa" stick does not work "out of the box" in any Amlogic release/build (S905: 7/8/8.9), but it can be made to work, see [link to thread]. In my (limited) experience, the stick does not function as reliable (more "pixelization") in Amlogic as in RPi.

    From other "el cheapo" sticks: I have tried (shortly) MyGiga (Geniatech) t230c, which worked "out of the box". That stick has, however, a tendency to die after longer use (in RPi). And, in my understanding, the Xbox one digital tuner works, at least in newer builds/releases. No personal experience of that, however ...

  • Astrometa DVB-stick in Amlogic

    Quote from CeeF

    dvblast -a 0 -f 546000000 -b 8 -O 60000 -Q 60000

    I tried this in 8.2.3.1: I have two of these sticks, one connected to cable (DVB-C) and second one to aerial (DVB-T/T2). I gave the command twice (with -a 0 and -a 1). Now the T/T2 connected stick works but the C stick not (only RTL2832 is visible in tvheadend). The command should possibly be modified for a C network?

  • Astrometa DVB-stick in Amlogic

    Any hints to get an "Astrometa" DVB-stick (MN88473/RTL2832) to work in Amlogic (S905) devel releases (8.90.5 at the moment)? I have installed Tvheadend 4.2 and CrazyCat drivers. The stick is found and available in Tvheadend. Channels are found but none of them opens and Tvheadhend gives "Continuity counter errors". In 7.0 and 8.2 (S905) it does not work either (channels are not found or "Continuity counter errors"). Stick (all T/T2/C) works fine in RPi with Libreelec 7.0.3 or Milhouse's testbuilds (but not in 8.2.3 as well known).

  • Samba share problem: filenames with colon

    Quote from chewitt

    Login to the Pi (server) and learn how to use the 'sed' command to bulk rename files. Job done.

    Yes, I might be able to do that. But the files with colons keep coming from various of sources. So it would have to be automated somehow. And I'm not sure if every Libreelec user is ready, able and willing to do that. That's why I suggested an alternative solution (mount with sshfs). You don't think it is a good idea to add that to wiki?

  • Samba share problem: filenames with colon

    As Samba has these limitations and NFS is not an option in Libreelec-only household, could the sshfs option be added to the wiki-section "Mounting network shares"? That is:

    - install Network tool addon in client,

    -ssh to to the client

    -"mkdir /storage/recordings" (or whatever) in client.

    -make keys in client with "ssh-keygen"

    -add the key in clients /storage/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the servers (here 192.168.1.222)

    /storage/.ssh/authorized_keys

    -test the passwd:less connection with "ssh [email protected]" (in client)

    -in client make (or add to) /storage/.config/autostart.sh with

    Bash
    #!/bin/sh
(sleep 5; \
  sshfs [email protected]:/recordings /storage/recordings; \
)&

  • [8.90.6] LibreELEC 9.0 Alpha for S905/S912 devices

    Any hints to get Astrometa DVB-stick (MN88473/RTL2832) to work in 8.90.4? I have installed Tvheadend 4.2 and CrazyCat drivers. The stick is found and available in Tvheadend. Scan does find only a few channels and trying to watch them gives a myriad of "Continuity counter errors". Stick works fine in RPi with Libreelec 7.0.3 (but not in 8.2.3 as well known).

    I also tried Tvheadend 4.3 in 8.90.4, but cannot connect to the server for some reason?

  • Samba share problem: filenames with colon

    Is there a way to get samba to accept colon (:) in filenames. Now all files with colons in their names are shown in (client) listing but cannot be played. They are also shown zero length in the clients (kodi)listing. My server is RPi with Libreelec 7.9 and client Amlogic S905 with 8.90.4.

    It was said somewhere else that option 'mangled names = no' should cure this, but this seems to be already in the [global] of /etc/smb.conf.
