OpenELEC for s82, M8, MXIII, Tronsmart S89

[clarkss12]

I know that I am probably posting in the wrong thread or even the wrong site, but I seem to get better answers on this thread.

Anyway, I am running tvheadend server on my S89H, and I can't get the recording location to be on a USB stick. I have been reading about mounting the stick in Linux, and I THINK I have it mounted correctly. When I go to the configuration screen, I change the recording system path to what I think is my USB stick, but it still records on the internal memory.

I used mkdir to create this "/storage/mnt/sda1/recordings" folder, but tvheadend still won't record to that location.

Can someone point out to me my mistakes?

thanks in advance.

Did you check with a ftp client if you mounted the stick correctly? When you navigate to your mounted path you should see the files stored on the stick (in case it isn't empty).

I did a search for ftp client, and installed filezilla, but not idea how to use it. haha.

Anyway, I have been trying to make tvheadend configuration more complicated than it is. I finally went to "video" and add new source. I copied the link to my USB stick, and copied that into the configuration page of tvheadend. Now I am recording to my USB stick.

I do appreciate your help. I don't know any Linux, and been years since I used DOS.

OpenELEC is working fantastic on my S89H.
The video and audio is working flawlessly.
The pause and play are working great.
The recording is working great also.
Guide data imported from Windows 7 computer.

Still have to figure out how to install and execute a script to grab the EPG data.



Just to see if I could do it, I wanted my S89H to be a stand alone DVR and it is 90% there now.

I also want to use it this way. But still got problems with my dvb-s2 tuner.

How far have you gotten?

I have bought a dvbsky S960 but the drivers aren't really good for amlogic. Kerber tries to add new drivers to help me but still no luck.
Live-TV is stuttering a lot until it completely freezes with actual drivers.

Is the stuttering due to the tuner drivers? My S89H plays the live streams flawlessly. Even playing the HD streams, mpeg2 TS format, 720p and 1080i, I get no skipped or dropped frames.

[MikeD]

For now he don't know exactly. He tested today one of his tuner and got the same stuttering.
I will test my tuner on another server and try to connect with my amlogic device. I hope this works. Otherwise I will return it and look for another tuner or stick with my linux receiver as an enigma backend.

Could anyone try 1080/60Hz videos? Very jerky playback with 5.0 onwards...
