live TV for all rk3188 using XBMC and tvheadend

[taki]

Thanks taki.

I would like to attempt on my Allwinner 31s device "CS918s"
Is there any special setup/ toolchain / environment for cross compiling, or is it already in Unbuntu?

first you find your device kernel source (like device) based Allwinner 31s device. later cross compile with your kernel source. you make step by step this

Does it matter if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?

Does it matter if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?

there is no matter which you want to use 32 or 64 bit. but I suggest you that have use 64 bit ubuntu

[Decapper]

Tried this with rtl2832 tuner and minix x7, several roms with just xbmc being the most stable but still unacceptable.

So as good as this would have been it is not a viable option at the moment. Maybe in the future with better hardware or firmware

[Decapper]

Can someone please help.

I have found the .fw files here http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph...TV_Dual_Dongle

But I have no idea how to find the .ko files. Sam says to google them but I have searched a fair bit. I have no idea of Linux so I;m pretty lost there.

Any help would be great.

RK3188T + DVBSky S960

Help needed: rtl2832 dvb-t usb stick

Hi Sam,
please could you give a look to the file attached? I'm trying to use this dvb-t (august dvb-t205 rtl2832 chip based) with my minix x7 with no success. It seems that the stick is recognised but I can't manage to find any channel after the scan of all dvb-t muxes in tvheadend.
This is my minix configuration :
Fw: quickshot v2

Thanks,

pluto69

edit: probably I'm missing something related to the tuner fc0013, but I don't know where I can find it! I googled around but even if I found some forum posts about linux support for this specific tuner I understood nothing: I'm a complete noob in Linux, kernel and so on...

I found also a patch for linux based sys (https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/11067/), but I don't know how to use it or if I can even use it on an android system

2nd edit:
here attached the linux driver for my dvb-t usb stick dowloaded from the manufacturer:

August dvbt205 (idVendor=1f4d, idProduct=a803)

Can someone help me in compiling the driver for my mynix x7, I don't know how to do it?
Thx

Hi,
you have to load the specific frontends.
Have a loock in your rtl28xx driver with hexeditor.
There must be some text like attach fc0013 and a lot of other frontends.
If not all of the frontends loaded before you try to load the driver, then it must fail.
I have attached a zip with the driver from media-build.
I hope there ia all in there.
Regards
Daniel

There are drivers in this thread for your stick.

Hi,
so far i know, dvbsky needs sitfe.ko.
The included sit2 is only for x86_64.
You need sit2 for arm, but they have to compile it for you.
Then you have to cross compile the driver with the media-build from dvbsky.
I have a t680 and no chance to get it working.
Only on Pi and Cubox it works fine.
Better try another Tuner for RK3188.

Daniel

Going by this thread Sam is really helpful.. But I think he might be on holidays as not had activity on he's account for a while. So maybe if you can wait and see if he returns and helps

[Decapper]

After extensive testing I have come to these finds..

Xbmc beyond 3.3 is the most stable.. Nightly not checcked

Best results is from disable hardware acceleration under systems/video


Results are also quite good for minix pre 10 build

I've already used these driver from the beginning with no success: the stick was not even recognised. Only after having installed this apk (rtl2832u driver by M. Marinov) from play store, I was able to see the stick in "a warm state" and recognised in tvheadend configuration tab.

Dados, I'm a noob in linux and I have not uderstood want you are talking about!!!!!
I've tried to add fc0013.ro in lib/modules but no success!
In attempting to make a clean install of all the drivers needed, I realised that one file (tvheadend) among those in folder DVB that must be added in /DATA (I'm referring to the package driver provided by sam and his suggestions in the post indicated by Decapper above), won't copy at all! It gives an error stating permission denied even if I've mounted the root in RW.
Could the problem had with the drivers installation be affected by this issue?
Dados, when you talk about the "frontends" you refer to the one I'm using: tvheadend?

I'm sorry if my considerations or questions are silly or not relevant, but I'm really new to linux!

However, thanks a lot for your time and the help you all always give to "noob" like me!

Just noticed you are using quickshot. No good my friend. Change to hardwareguru and you will find relief
