    Do a grep FD628 instead.

    And systemctl status fd628

    Edit:

    You're supposed to copy the raw text from the vfd in the repository.

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep -i fd628
[   28.845365@0] aml_fd628: `' invalid for parameter `vfd_gpio_clk'
LibreELEC:~ #

    I copied the vfd.conf directly from your link and renamed it.

    I do not know what you mean by 'raw text' ..... all I can say is I did not introduce any formatting into the file that I am aware of.

    Hope the above can provide some indication of the problem.

    Thanks.

    Installed FD628 Display service add on.

    Copied vfd.conf into /storage/.config/

    Rebooted ....... no change in display.

    dmesg shows

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep fd
[    0.000000@0] CPU: AArch64 Processor [410fd034] revision 4
[    0.000000@0] fdt Reserved memory table:

[   28.845365@0] aml_fd628: `' invalid for parameter `vfd_gpio_clk'
LibreELEC:~ #

    This seems to indicate a misconfig in the vfd.conf file?

    EDIT:

    The vfd.conf file shows

    Code
          <tr>
        <td id="L10" class="blob-num js-line-number" data-line-number="10"></td>
        <td id="LC10" class="blob-code blob-code-inner js-file-line">vfd_gpio_clk=&#39;0,76,0&#39;</td>
      </tr>


    Thanks for the help.

    OK, booted successfully, and set up the TV channels from the backend tuner server.

    Found I had to apply

    Code
    echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

    to get rid of the colour bleed.

    EDIT:  Found Community Build Extras which has a Deinterlacing toggle which seems to do the job. Using that now in place of above.



    Is there something I need to do to get the display to show time instead of 'boot'?

    Sorry for being a pest, but it is not immediately obvious to me presently.

    I've just copied the device tree out of the actual box right now and re uploaded. Link #123
     If this doesn't work there is something wrong that i can't explain.


    The above, running 8.2.3.1, and the following command in an autostart.sh file has everything working that I need (mostly live Satellite TV).

    EDIT: Tanix Tx3 Mini 2GB

    Code
    echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

    Thank you all for the work put into this.

    OT

    I find it difficult to keep track of events, and am now wondering how I will know when 8.90.4 is available, or indeed where to locate it and whatever dtb file it might require.

    For the present I am happy with a nicely working device. Thanks again.

    I have a similar device and it is working as I write.

    I am using the x86_64 version of LE rather than the Arm version.

  • Noobie query..

    Quote from dragonfly

    Hmm..the keyboard works fine, otherwise I'd not be able to get to the File manager page. Plus i can tpe in the 'name of source' field, but the 'path' field??

    Also i understand Fusion is banned, but I can't type anythin on the 'Add file source' page, yet i can use my cursor with no problem..

    Just to be sure you are doing things correctly ...... when 'NONE' appears that is not the entry field. You must select 'NONE' to get the entry field.
    There is then available a virtual keyboard on screen which can be used with a remote or you can use keyboard.

  • Realtek RTL2832 DVB-T

    Quote from CvH

    to be honest I would try it at Windows with Dvbviewer if it works there, if not we can rule out that it is a driver problem at linux

    the stick could have problems with these frequencies (from hw side) - not to sure if this is fixable at all

    My stick receives the following

    746Mhz

    650Mhz

    690Mhz

    so I doubt it is a frequency problem.

    Seems to be more lack of signal.

    I just plugged in my rtl2832 to a running LibreElec and was able to set it up in Tvheadend without problems.

  • No SSH Access

    Quote from chewitt
    Code
    chmod 700 /storage/.cache/ssh
chmod 600 /storage/.cache/ssh/*
chmod 644 /storage/.cache/ssh/*.pub

    ^^ I believe that should restore things back to defaults

    Thank you!
    Will apply them soon.
    What about /storage & /storage/.cache ?
    Do they get 700?
    regards.

    EDIT:
    All OK, found what I needed.
    755 it seems is correct.

  • No SSH Access

    Quote from escalade


    LE uses systemd, the equivalent would be "systemctl status sshd", see "systemctl --help" for more.

    Thanks for that info. ;)
    [hr]
    Thank you both.
    It was indeed a permission problem ...... apparently the permissions were too open.

    Could you be so kind as to tell me what permissions are optimum for the various stages of the following path?
    /storage/cache/.ssh/ssh_host_xxxxx_key

    /storage
    /storage/cache/
    /storage/cache/.ssh/
    /storage/cache/.ssh/ssh_host_xxxxx_key

    Are all the same? If so then a chmod -R XXX would do I guess. Would XXX be 700 or other?

    I have made changes to get things working, but would appreciate the info so I can now put in the correct permissions.

    Thanks.

  • No SSH Access

    Quote from chewitt


    Cipher changes in LibreSSL that invalidate old/cached keys or an outdated PuTTY version or invalid permissions on the /storage/.cache folder where the SSH private keys are stored (if insecure sshd will not start) are the normal culprit. If you add "tty" to boot params you should end up with a console on CTRL+ALT+F3 that you can investigate from.

    Thanks, I can get the terminal ok, but am lost as I do not know what commands are available.
    For instance I would use

    Code
    # service --help
Usage: service -[Rfshv] SERVICE ARGUMENTS
        -f|--full-restart:      Do a fullrestart of the service.
        -R|--full-restart-all:  Do a fullrestart of all running services.
        -s|--status-all:        Print a status of all services.
        --ignore-dependencies:  Do not start required systemd services
        --skip-redirect:        Do not redirect to systemd
        -d|--debug:             Launch with debug.
        -h|--help:              This help.

    but that command is not available on LibreElec and I have no clue what to use as an equivalent. On this PC I get

    Code
    # service -s | grep ssh
openssh-daemon (pid  4835) is running...

    Is there some reference material I could access that would help?

    I appreciate the assistance ;)

  • No SSH Access

    I cannot ssh into my LibreElec 8 Generic ...... connection refused by server.

    I can manage to get a display attached and I have turned on and off SSH and SSH password, all to no avail.

    Is there a setting in some file that I can check manually and maybe edit that will resolve this?

    I am dual booting LE with PCLinuxOS using Grub bootloader.

    Code
    title LibreElec
root (hd0,1)
kernel /KERNEL boot=UUID=...... disk=UUID=....... quiet


    It has been working in this manner since 2004 using OE and then LE.
    Something went awry about the 7.9 update. I thought later updates would fix it, but unfortunately not.

    Thanks.

  • Radio DVB-S and Logitech

    This has bothered me for a while and I had put it out of my mind recently as I failed to find any how-to.
    Today I was successful.
    As I write I have two clients connected to my LMS which in turn has tuned in Satellite radio from my tvheadend backend.
    This is the link to the explanation of the set up .......

    Carsten Groß: Livestreaming von DVB Radioprogrammen an die Squeezebox

    In LMS I 'Tune in Radio URL' using

    h ttp://192.168.1.108:9981/stream/channel/0ab6d3d42932c9a4709b55cf214c1ebc?profile=radio-aac

    or

    h ttp://192.168.1.108:9981/stream/channelnumber/1?profile=radio-mp2

    That is all the magic sauce needed. :D

    It is strange neither of us could find anything relevant directly related to tvheadend, libreelec or logitech mediaserver.

    Hopefully that info stays up for reference.

    Enjoy! :)
