    Thanks Chewitt.

    I checked, but unfortunately... HDhomeRun doesn't sell any DVB-T boxes anymore. Or maybe I did not search properly... seems that ran out of component :P

    Meanwhile, I'll give a try to a USB Hauppage DBT stick which I will connect to my PVE NUC. Already installed the soft TVHeadEnd and now waiting for the delivery of the stick. I just hope that I will not hardness with the ubuntu configuration (finger deeply crossed)

    Thanks thanks again

    all their chips require horrid vendor kernels, nothing upstream

    Hi Chewitt, you always answer :)

    That's what I unfortunately thought... Maybe I'm to lazy to check everything in details, but what make me say that it would be a possible candidate was when I google (duckduckgo'ed more precisely) : "Hisilicon Quad-core" the first result I found that link :

    https://www.hisilicon.com/en/products/sm…STB/Hi3798MV200 where it says : blablabla hanks to the powerful Arm Cortex-A53 blablabla

    I'm not so good in hardware stuff but Amlogic is different from ARM chip ? (I know this is a noob question).

    I tried to figure that out myself and read a couple of articles and something in Wikipedia makes me wonder that I might have found what I need. In the chart where you can find ARM and I thought bingo !

    And finally I reread it this evening and saw that, indeed, Hisilicom seems to only buy the architecture licence from ARM and design his own chip... DAMMMIT (language please, would say Tony Stark ^^)

    Back to the start... I need to find something who has the ability to run TVHeadend with a DVB-T2 tuner.... Why.. but why didn't Wetek exist anymore ...

    Hey all,

    My no SSH access is solved ! But not in the manner I wanted... ;(

    My old and friendly Wetek Play 2 isn't anymore. I do not know what happened, but it full crashed, impossible to boot. I think I had some electrical issue or something. none of the LED are blinking when I plug the DC adapter.

    Nontheless now it's time to find a new board where I can install a TVHeadend PVR. I only have the possibility to get DVB-T (DVB-T2) TV signal, so condition number one is finding a box with a tuner built in (like my old WP2).

    I think I find out the right one. I see that the "formuler cc" seems to be a goo challenger (https://fr.formuler.tv/cc).

    Seems that he as an ARM A-53 CPU. so I do think it is a SOC S905 and that I could use the LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-11.0.3-box image to root it.

    I think that I am not in the right topic to ask this and if not, feel free to signal or migrate to a new post.

    And otherwise, have you guys any suggestion for an LibreElec ready box with built in DVB tuner ?

    Regards

    Pierre

    Hi chewitt.

    Thanks for the answer. I have checked where I could find that folder from TVH. Unfortunately after minutes of checking, I do not have find the folder. Any clue where it can be ?

    Other thing I fear. Actually it is impossible to update anything on the Libreelec wetekplay. I fear that if I nuke it, I won't be able to download TVH again. If im not wrong there is a topic here talking about the fact that week plan / libre elec have some issue connecting to internet or repos for KODI.

    To be honnest it is a mess in my head :P

    Cheers

    Hi Hewitt and thanks for the response.

    Not, unfortunately not. That is my question, is it a way to have access to a console direct to the device. I saw in some other topic that you suggested to do a CTRL + ALT + F3. I connected a keyboard on my WETEK PLAY 2 but and did that manip. doesn^t do anything.

    Is there an eventually recovery mode or something ? or any kind of other possibility to modify those right by importing the save

    As far The only option I see is to use the libreelec option "reset to default" but I will loose my entire TVHEADEND config. If possible I do not want to restart that hours long process

    Cheers

    Hi All,

    I have made that same mistake too.

    While willing to mount an NFS share from my NAS to my wetekplay with libreelec I have changed the entire /storage folder with chmod 777. arrrrg. Since, impossible to log with SSH to my device.

    Fortunately, the NFS share work :D (at least).

    Thing is I would like to roll back and restore the correct rights to the /storage folder. But how... since I cannot connect via SSH is there any option to have a local terminal on the week play ? If yes, what will be the procedure ?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Cheers !
