For anyone running Android and having issues setting up a playstore account.

(cannot establish connection type error)

Check date and time settings. If they are wrong, manually set the correct date and time in android settings.

Does anyone have the FTP settings (username password ports etc.) for that 16gb Enigma backup ?

Am still going around in circles!!

how does that image look

RossieMan

Its a very basic image that is running the slyk skin.

Looks grand, not much on it for the size of it.

Decent enough. It looks like Sky (Slyk).

Kodi is prebuilt too. I didn't touch that though, my head was a bit fried after going back and forth to my sisters. (1080p install initially and her TV is 720p)

Any of you using the phone apps for tvheadend, what's the best format for playback, mkv?

These boxes will be the death of me.. :mad:
Sister rang again I had to go over to her. Her box is running Android/PBNigma (16GB image)

The whole thing was acting weird, really slow response, if any. then when trying to enter settings, all the previous key presses would happen (slowly).
It took me a while to figure out that it was actually the key presses. It seemed like random stuff just happening every 20 - 60 seconds.

When I got over there, it had just gone into the system menu (by itself) and then into settings and brought up some context menu.

I could FTP no problem and everything seemed normal. After getting a bug on my own setup last week I thought it may be related. It wasn't.
I booted into Android, it needed to be updated, did that.
Couldn't choose language.

Long Story short (it was a lot longer than ^ that).

Random weird stuff happening is probably the batteries on the (openelec) remote. :o

I've never seen similar happen on any other remote, and it doesn't happen on the wetek 'classic' remote.
The batteries weren't dead, but were low(er).

Seems that rc only likes brand new batteries to play well.

I'm just home, with a massive headache, and thought I'd share with anyone that has any weird stuff happening at all. (From delayed channel changing, to looking like somebody else has control of the box).

Check the batteries on the Openelec remote first!

My only issue with this unit is the poor dvb-c/t tuner. Major BER / Pxellation / Glitching on it compared to other units I have used with DVB-C tuners. I am tempted to order another tuner and swap in the chance it is a poor tuner. Apart from that it is great, TVheadend up and running and serving several Kodi devices around the gaff.

Im really happy with this box, finally got around to fixing the second line on my sat dish so I can get my second 'line' working

Picons bouquets all working, loving the OpenPLI Enigma image

Making slow progress here but getting places now. Kept the openelec set up the box comes with and have live TV set up with tvheadend and I've figured out how to watch and record at the same time. I'm recording to an external drive and one thing that's held me back up to now is the permissions on the drive. I've figured out how to change permissions to write by ftp but on every boot they go back to read only so the recordings fail (with an annoyingly inaccurate 'missed time' message). Anybody know how can I change this so it retains write permissions on boot up?

what commands did you use to set the permissions, and you applied them to the correct user/profile ?

I used an ftp programme. Just checked off the write boxes. There is no user profile other than the one that's there at the start I suppose. Sorry, but most of this is Chinese to me. I'm just winging it as I go. Amazed I've got this far!

From the sounds of what you have done, you have set up write permissions for ftp which would be used to transfer files to and from the box and your pc.

I haven't got around to setting up recording on mine yet but will be almost the same set up. You are using TVheadend? I'll have a look later on mine and get back to you.

manster

tvheadend
Just got streaming to my laptop working.
Download Media Player VLC. Open EPG on tvheadend webgui
Click on icon under Details - this downloads a .m3u file
Associate .m3u files to open by default with VLC media player
Stream to laptop - need a decent wifi connection

Handy if you want to watch tv on your network away from your main kodi set up room

Yeah, tvheadend. Setting up Recording is handy enough. Getting it to record to an external drive is where I've run into problems. It works now but I have to change the permissions back to write (777) through ftp every time the box reboots because they revert back to read only. I tried doing this through terminal commands but couldn't figure out how to get to the external drive.

Any recommendations on how to tidy up the channels after I do the scan from tvheadend?

All over the place now, would like to tidy them up with icons and ordering etc.

I'm using thy Sky Northern Ireland bouquet. I ended up going through all the channels and disabling all the ones that were unavailable. You're supposed to be able to tag them into groups but it didn't work for me. I can live without the icons. I'm assuming you know about bouquets. Never heard of them myself up until a couple of weeks ago:-)

Found a problem, recording on Enigma2 OpenPLI image, using Enigma2 remote,

The "Red" button is not being recogonised on the remote when I press to record,

When I press "Red" via web panel it works fine.


Any ideas how to fix? Im using a Harmony remote, but cant even use the learn function on the Openelec remote as its bluetooth

At a guess, long press the record button or red and it might allow you to assign what the button does.

RossieMan

Multi quick button should sort you out.

Etnies

Assigned it as a hot key, under a long press, didn't realise you could do that
