My comments above relating to deb installers were on a Raspberry Pi as a TVHeadend Server. not on the Libreelec client.

I gave up on TV Headend , way too many problems.

Even if I had resolved half of them, it was still full of quirks, unstable, flaky recording, poor documentation, etc.

I installed NextPVR quicker and easier than I expected. It seemed more logical than my first attempt for some reason. I kept looking to see if there was more to configure but then installed the client in Libreelec and boom , it just works!

Only problem is getting guide data in NextPVR as apparently it will not use Over the Air listings for what reason I fail to understand. I do believe that is where the listings came from in TVheadend.

so you support my statement on WTF is the backdoor password. Its a clusterfrack that seriously needs updated docs and thos docs need to conform to what is in the installer and web UI

I'll ask one other question

Where are the docs for configuring IPTV sources?

I do not believe they exist in an intelligible form. What I found does not say how to get to them, as If I should already know where it is all located. I posted that link earlier.

In the initial config.

Install goes like this

while installing .deb am asked for a username and password (is this what is later referred to as "Back door password"?

Opening the web interface first time one of the many ambiguous settings (or ambiguous statements) is to set an admin password that does not conflict with the "Back door" username. But no clue what or where the "backdoor password" is or where it is set. I think it suffers from a case of name conformity. That is where an object is called something one time and something else the next time. So typical of so many open source projects.

apt-get remove --purge is my best option I believe . GONE!

Not looking for months long frustration Ill stick to IPTVSimple as I am almost there already.

Yea i just took a look at that . It looks like I need to learn a foreign language to understand it.

I tried to get through the install and initial configuration and have no idea about what half of the stuff was about. I do know intimately the network and Video parts but this is way out there even seeming to use inconsistent terms for what may be the same thing.

examples (just some of many)

Back-door username ??? Is that the username and password set at install? They never called it back-door at install. IN the config it asks me to set admin username that does not conflict with "back door" username.

No idea where or how to add the Playlist and guide xml data.

It seems to say you can not go back to the wizard one you install so I think it seems like unless you know what to configure from the start you are sunk.

It was easier to "apt-get remove --purge" than try to figure out what even half of this stuff meant.

Even what I found for documentation that is supposed to be relevant here Automatic IPTV Network - Tvheadend seems vague and ambiguous. It does not tell me how to get there nor where things are at! For a newcomer that is important and probably inhibits a lot of new users from adopting it.

If no good docs then is crap.

Ok with little or no info I have advanced to the next step , taking a leap of faith here. I purchased a legacy HD Homerun cheap on ebay. It can do 2 simultaneous streams but only up to 1080i apparently.

When I started looking at threads of people wanting to do what I am doing + recording people started talking about Next PVR but NextPVR seems dependent on a Paid guide service from what I can tell. With IPTV Merge and Zap2EPG I have guide data all covered.

So Monday I will have the HD Homerun and would like to get things in order so installed NextPVR on a Raspberry Pi2 but do not know how to integrate the existing guide data to that as it seems to want to get it from a paid service. Or I can go the IPTV Simple method which seems 90% working already. I tried to install a fork of IPTV recorder today (for kodi 19) and that seems to have failed, or my settings are somehow wrong.

Of course I would rather not occupy the Raspberry Pi for this use as it is already my asterisk server and might get bogged down. I suppose there is probably a version I can put on a Mini Windows 10 system.

Any info , anyone?

I have an existing IPTV list that I am happy with. I am already using IPTV Merge to merge that list.

Now I want to buy a Tuner whether a USB or a cheap used HD HomeRun. I see that older HD Homerun units may require additional software like this ( https://github.com/goyney/hdhr-assistant ) as it its for a NAS , but is PHP and will probably run on my raspberry Pi server.

I was also looking at these as they are plenty cheap but not sure if there are drivers in Libreelec or not for either of them.

Maybe there is something else I can look at instead? Any suggestions?

where do I download 9.2.5 x86 Generic?

I want to do a manual downgrade

Thanks

did not in any way ask for spoon feeding, and you are insulting in your statement, no matter what or who you are here.

A full path to said file is all I ask for and you REFUSE it thanks for the non answer. I have no idea where a commandline.txt file goes it is unique to libreelec , which is why I posted here.

Funny how certain people are allowed to repeatedly publish gruff replies and other are banned for it here.

Quote from chewitt

... LE mounts the "disk=" device stated in cmdline.txt so you can prepare a different /storage device and switch over to it by changing the UUID....

Thanks, That is probably a great answer if one knows where that is or where it goes. Otherwise for non - devs like me, it is not a complete answer.

I have an install of libreelec on an undersized SSD (16GB) , which leaves me little space for video storage.

I want to move the entire /storage partition to a different physical disk

I am unsure whether this is mounted by label or UUID .

I have another install that I copied all the /storage partition from that has my remote config, addons , files, etc

I thought it should be easy to "drop in" the new /storage location however I can not figure out how to do this. If necessary I can remove the Storage Partition on the SSD in favor of the new one.

As I indicated I want all of the /storage locations, settings addons, etc.

Thanks

I have three systems that are all giving me a bluetooth error that does not show up in any log that I can find, neither Kodi.log or dmesg

This started after the update to latest version in the last week or two on three different systems all x86 with different bluetooth adapters.

I need to know if there is a way to reset and clear all old bluetooth connections

the message looks something like

Bluetooth Error

("i" icon)Error disconnect with signature "" on interface "org" , 5000 /then/long/file/path/to/skin/bluetooth.png

and is consistent no matter what skin I use.

Okay so the message looks something like

Bluetooth Error

("i" icon)Error disconnect with signature "" on interface "org" , 5000 /then/long/file/path/to/skin/bluetooth.png

It is a little more detailed but that is more or less what it says, not much to go on as yet.

Is there a method to clear out all bluetooth settings like old adapters and old connections?

Tried changing skin back to default (was using confluence) no change in error.

I did not provide log files , AS STATED "I was curious if this is a known bug" !

If you do not know if it is known bug then please withhold your replies unless you have some special interest in the topic.

I have no desire to sanitize my log files for posting if this is a known bug.

I have now upgraded 3 systems to x86 intel 9.2.6 , all of which have the same error after upgrade.

The systems are

Asus Chromebox M004U2GB Intel Celeron 2955U Processor.

Mission Bamboo with Intel Celeron

Intel NUC

All three systems have different models of Bluetooth adapters installed. One BT adapter is USB the other two are on MiniPCI-e cards.

All above systems now throw up occasional bluetooth error when system is idle. I was curious if this is a known bug.

Awfully coincidental that three systems all have the same error and only after updating to latest version.

My Libreelec install is x86_64 and the CD drive is USB while the hard disk is a SATA SSD. This is running on a Mission One mini PC with 2 GB RAM.

Blueribb, sorry you use WIndows.

I have a media center to do the ripping on my MEDIA CENTER, NOT MY COMPUTER!
