No, it's not an rpi, it's a tv box based on the amlogic S905D

Not sure what you mean by disabled
but the last time I looked it was a bit confusing..
so it's not just me
-
Sorry, I was referring to (what I think is) real time transcoding of live tv (stream profiles/codec profile) in order to serve lower bitrate content to mobile devices connected to cellular data. I never managed to configure that in tvheadend, I'm not sure it's possible at all on a tv box (e.g. the "webtv-h264" codec profile is disabled and cannot be enabled).

Spawning ffmpeg for stream transcode
Please, tell me more (the only stream profile I ever managed to use is "pass")
-
at the moment TVHeadend appears to be a dead project.
I'm not following the project, but the last commit has been just two weeks ago.

Right, I forgot about the dvbapi plugin. Well, one way or another it didn't work
but now I got used to tvheadend (though I still miss some of the feautures of vdr, like the plain text configuration files). -
vdr itself is in good shape
I've been using vdr since 2004 on a dedicated pc. I also wrote a plug-in to control an old style jack.
When I finally switched to a tv box with dvb-tuner around two years ago (at a fraction of the size, noise, cost, electricity consumption and with much better performance), the idea was to use vdr. Unfortunately on this hardware it didn't play well with oscam (which I need for a legit card with an usb reader) so I had to use tvheadend (and push a patch to control my actuator
).Just FYI.

From a quick look at their github it seems they are using the upstream media_build
I was wrong, no trace of amlogic frontends in media_build/media_tree. I'll have to study from which repo the overlay is built. Or just sit back, relax, and enjoy tv

What's your friend box?
I have a mecool k1 pro (availink 6862)
-
Yes, I've been reading your messages about it, but since the main purpose of this box is to watch satellite tv I have no other option than to use the old 9.0.something libreelec (which I did until yesterday) or coreelec. From a quick look at their github it seems they are using the upstream media_build for the dvb drivers (albeit an old version) with almost no patches (just to disable several modules). With libreelec I had to use the built-in drivers, the media_build one didn't work (the reverse is true with coreelec).
-
OK, I won't go there then. I just reluctantly switched to coreelec to see the state of the integrated dvb and I have to say it works (though I think it's because they don't use the upstream kernel but the 4.19 bsp, but then I had to select the media_build dvb drivers instead of the default ones).
-
Oh, alexelec, that must be it. It seems interesting, pity that I don't understand russian and using google translate all the time is tiring.

CE or any of its spin-offs like AE
Sorry for the offtopic, but what's AE? (I tried duckduckgo and wikipedia before asking but the keyword is too short to get any meaningful result)
-
Hello,
I have an AP and a repeater (both with the same essid) and a raspberry pi zero w running libreelec that seems to prefer the repeater. I'd like to force it to connect to the main AP, using the BSSID, searching for "connman bssid" I could find nothing useful.
in fact I could find a mailing list message written in 2014 where a connman developer says that nobody should care about this useless details since wpa_supplicant will connect to the best AP, but maybe things have changed since then and it is now possible to lock connman to a specific BSSID?

a pointer to compile TvH myself ?
I don't know if it's still valid, but see here: Tvheadend nightly builds for LE
-
NB: LE does not support update of legacy OS installs to the LE10 codebase, a clean install is required. If the Amlogic 3.14 kernel is detected during update we abort, and if you manually override the compat check the box will (guaranteed 100%) end up in a broken boot state.
I hope that at least the configuration of the various plugins can be copied over (I'd hate to have to reconfigure oscam/pcsc/tvheadend from scratch).
BTW, what's the status of the availink drivers? I see some progress in their github but they seem to be using a different distribution as a test bed.
-
I have a better mapping for the mecool ki pro remote, attached.
I mapped every key and It follows the layout of the remote (top to bottom, left to right), so it's easier to see the key associated to each function (Edit: er, the function associated to each key).
Since, AFAIK, there's no browser function in kodi, I mapped the browser button to KEY_NUMERIC_STAR which I configured to restart kodi.
-
Which is not an issue in coreelec.
Well, I actually tried coreelec on this box and never really pursued it because I couldn't get tvheadend, oscam, pcsc and webgrabplus working (i.e. the things I need to work).
I didn't try very hard and I don't remember the specifics, maybe it was my fault (I'm using a self compiled tvheadend but I hoped the one in coreeelec was newer) but anyway, this image works.
