Ah right - I found it handy in the beginning though - is there an Enigma specific one?



No, not yet, I had already tried using that one you mention - assuming it's this - https://www.techkings.org/threads/movie-organisor-plugin-organise-your-series-recordings-into-folders.97690/ - I had put the file onto a USB stick and tried installing from there but it failed to install. Do you have an install image you used that worked for you? I could try that.

I couldn't find Movie Organiser in the list of plugins I saw when I connected via Ethernet cable to my internet.

I have Movie Organisor working on my image. I downloaded it from the thread you mentioned.

I wonder what I could be doing wrong...it seemed easy enough. Out of interest - if you create a new flash image, would it include the plugins? I could then apply that?

My image from January, that includes that plugin, is online. See the first post on my thread for replacing Sky.

Great I'll download that now - and try it out. thanks!

Image downloaded, installed (must be as you said a FAT USB otherwise it didn't work) and now I have Movie Organiser - it's like a dream come true! Thanks a mill!!

I installed the miniDLNA server plugin on my boxes which allows my "not so smart" TV to see the HDDs. I can now view any recordings directly over the network.

Is anyone interested selling a Tiviar second hand with hard drive? Based in Cork.

I've had a problem since last weekend where the EPG will show no information for certain channels. They are mostly HD - CNN HD, BBC2 HD, Channel 4 HD - but also 5Spike+1, Travel Channel, Travel Channel +1, Now 80s and Now 90s. However, not all the HD channels have this problem.

If I change to any of those channels, then the EPG will populate with now and next information only, but once the current program is over that information will go again. I can get a full EPG on the SD versions of the affected HD channels, but can do nothing for the affected SD channels.

Now for confession time: I stuck with The high horse brigade's image pretty much as standard up to last weekend, but then went to update it and the system reported that it was extremely out-of-date, so I proceeded to update it, which is probably when the issues started. I then updated the system yesterday via the online updater to OpenATV 6.2, but the problems remain and introduced new behaviour: when in the full-screen channel listing, I used to be able to press the Menu button to get the full EPG for a particular channel. Now I have to press the EPG button instead.

This post is as much a warning of the perils of updating a customised image as a search for people with similar experiences. I will probably end up going back to the original image as supplied by The high horse brigade.

Edit: it's ok lads I found the Tiviar manual and code, got it working

Anyone know how to sync the Tiviar remote to your TV? Mines a Sony Bravia KDL 32BX320

I had it working before but after a box reset not working

Go into the HDMI CEC menu on the Tiviar and play with that. You can set the TV to switch off/wake from standby.

Make sure your box is connected to the HDMI CEC input on the TV (not all TV's HDMI inputs are CEC enabled, its usually port 1 by default, especially on the Samsungs).

Hi,

I use the The high horse brigade's image and am wondering can you play the recordings to a laptop / pc? I can play the tv channels without any issue but when I look at the recordings via the web interface I have the choice of vlc and html but neither work to play recorded shows. Just wondering what I am missing here, any advice welcome.

If you map the Tiviar's drive to your laptop you should be able to copy the programme to your laptop and watch it that way. Box will need to be connected to same wifi network.

You might even be able to watch it that way without copying it across - haven't tried it.

If you are using OpenWEBIF to peruse the files, you click on Movies on the left hand side. It now pulls up the drives mounted, peruse to the directory containing the recordings. Click the Disk like ICON and it will download it to your laptop and then you can play it with VLC/PotPlayer.

I cant seem to download plugins at the moment on 2 boxes with the THHB image. It is ok on other boxes!! eg solo2

help

Plugins are taken down when your image gets too old. This is because the plugins may have been updated and might no longer be compatible with the older image you are using.

You will have to download the latest image and rebuild or wait for THHB/Clareman to update, rebuild and upload their images. If there is really a plugin that you need you could always download the IPK separately to a USB stick or stick it TMP using filezilla and manually install from there.

I’ll be doing a new image based on OpenATV 6.3 in the next week, or so. If there’s a specific plugin you want me to include, let me know and I’ll do my best.

@Gar. Guessing you don't want to change the main password.



Setup a guest SSID probably the best with a simple password (known work around - last 2 lines). WP2A has vulnerabilities anyway on some Realtek devices anyway (including the RT5370).

Cheers for that. I'll give the work around a lash and if not try the simpler password solution.

Thanks again

Is this a good alternative to Tiviar? - https://m.ebay.ie/itm/Genuine-Zgemma-H9S-4K-UHD-DVB-S2X-Satellite-Single-Tuner-IRL-Stock/322407246087?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180105095858%26meid%3D6bf1e9d09d164813ab05e6a548028503%26pid%3D100904%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D14%26sd%3D322407246087%26itm%3D322407246087&_trksid=p2509164.c100904.m5276

The price seems to be good to be true if similar spec.

Also is there an image from a poster on here I can use for H9S? Like the Tiviar images?

I'm moving over from Kodi so apologies if noob questions and wife is suspect so need to get this right.

Edit: The above link doesn't seem to work, title on Ebay is Genuine Zgemma H9S 4K UHD DVB-S2X Satellite Single Tuner IRL Stock !

Thats a single satellite tuner box. The Tiviar is 2 satellite tuners and 1 terrestrial (Saorview). Its nothing like the spec of the Tiviar QuietBeatle
