Hello,
the old raspberry pi is a 3b, with libreelec 9.2.8, kodi 18.9. tvheadend server + client running.
what are the steps to move channel list etc. to the new installation? (rpi 4 2 gb, libreelec 11 actual download)?
thank you,
Stefan
P.S.:
there is tvh server 4.2 and 4.3 (alpha) available.
does anyone have experience with the newer alpha version? can you dare to install it?
one additional question to dvb-t scan files in tvheadend
the pre-defined muxes for germany didn't work (only there for dvb-t, but dvb-t2 is needed).
this helped me: PiCockpit | DVB-T Tools, but it's only available for germany.
in Croatia, they changed from dvb-t to dvb-t2 too this summer.
Does anybody know, if somebody did the same for croatia, than as picockpit.com did for germany?
should i better ask in the tvh forums?
Thank you,
Stefan
thank you very much!! it worked now - i don't know why, but in the meantime, the addons menus "filled up". I'm not 100% sure if i looked in the same place, but i had the impression that when i first looked, there was only 1 addon (somethink with docker). I had access to all addons now i think.
thank you ghtester! I don't know how to activate different plugins in a nightly build - i just installed it by putting the tar file in the "updates" smb folder.
when i browse through the kodi addon menus, the versions you mentioned don't show up. what am i missing?
ah sorry.. I just found a website containing all the plugins as zipfiles. did you mean that?
there is an error with the install - kodi gives a message that the zip doesn't have the correct structure.
i used : 9.80.8-RPi4-arm-service.tvheadend42-9.80.8.125.zip
Thank you ghtester,
the nightly installed ok, but tvh 4.2 is not compatible, and tvh 4.3. 1906 can't be installed because some dependency couldn't be resolved..
Is there a solution for this?
I use the Libreelec Pi with TV Tuner as a replacement for my defect Topfield PVR... I use an even bigger ssd there 
Setup is ok, but the external hd/ssd adapter doesn't work. It is not recognized. and I get errors like this:
em28xx 1-1.1:1.0: write to i2c device at 0xc8 failed with unknown error (status=128)
I don't know how to show the actual firmware version. Please help!
Main point for me to use a ssd was durability - at the least on the "main" pi, with cloud software, databases etc. on it.
I don't remember the details, but I'll test the next hours.
I think the firmware was up to date - which version is that at the moment?
the same usb3-adapter and ssd run with full speed with a raspbian pi4 and kernel 5.4.
perhaps it has to do with the hauppauge usb2-device too.
one additional problem was, that the tvh server addon 4.2 doesn't work correctly in libreelec.
Hello,
I would like to set up an rpi4 with the latest kernel 5.4, because of general problems with usb3. I would like to run a hauppauge dvb-c/t stick, and a usb3 ssd. I had problems with that when i tried it with LE 9.2.4 or 9.2.5 several weeks ago, because of that, I went back to a pi3b.
Is there a beta build or a guide how this can be done?
Thank you,
Stefan
Hello to all,
I plan to setup a new device, and I wanted to ask you, which components work best with kodi.
I thought of using a raspberry pi, but a different device would be ok also. I want to use tvheadend, and use it as a videorecorder.
If it was a raspi, which dvb-c/t device gives the best results? which usb3-sata adapter is your recommendation for use with a rpi?
Or better use a different HW Base? I would prefer it, if automatic power-up and power-down for planned recordings would work...
Thank you,
Stefan
I have 9.2.4 with tvh 4.2 on an rpi3b+,
I have the same errors on startup like you.
De-activating the tvh4.2 server addon and re-activating it solves the problem for me until the next reboot 
the pi runs all the time, so it's not a big problem for me.
but I hope that this will be solved - it seems to be a general problem on some combinations of pis and firmware / kernel.
Perhaps there is somebody who knows the necessary tweaks?
I moved back to the rpi3 with LE and TVH.
I have a USB DVB-C TV Tuner (Hauppauge WinTV HD Dual), and both devices (the tuner and the usb-ssd) work better with the rpi3.
(there are far fewer block artifacts and other errors with that setup).
I'm looking forward to use usb3 speed with my ssd - I transfer the video files to a pc sometimes.
I have the same problems as Franco with a pi4b, and a usb3 ssd. (LE 9.2.5.). Tested with 2 different hdd enclosures, both worked on the usb2 ports, one didn't work at all at a usb3 port, the other one was very slow.
On a different Pi4 with raspbian buster, kernel 5.4.51-v7l+, everything works very good...
I suppose It's not only an issue with several usb chipsets, but with the kernel itself?
LE 9.2.5 has still kernel 4.19...
In this thread
people tell that the problems went away after upgrading to the newest kernel.
When Will the next LE Version with kernel 5.4 be available?
Hello,
is it possible to install logwatch, and how? I have tvheadend server running, and want to monitor the reception quality of all muxes/services. I want to receive error messages, when muxes are missing or if they have poor quality.
Thank you,
Stefan
P.S.: Librelec 9.2.5 on a pi3b+ (HTS Tvheadend 4.2.8-36 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v9.2.0.123)
