User:Mgouin/Raspberry Pi

Initial Setup

The following rough guide applies to XBian.

SSH

Connect:

ssh xbian@192.168.2.22

File copy from PI:

scp xbian@192.168.2.22:/home/xbian/zap2xml.tar.gz .

File copy to PI:

scp zap2xml.tar.gz xbian@192.168.2.22:/home/xbian/zap2xml.tar.gz

Disabling WIFI power saving

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

Add the following line anywhere in the file:

wireless-power off

Set proper timezone

TBD: There seems to be many possible location to set the timezone.

SSH:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Kodi:

System > Config > TBD > TZ
System > Config > XBian > TBD > TZ

Builds

Enable gcc, make...

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install perl missing libs

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
install JSON::XS

MPEG-2 License

License key = 0x16baa230

Enable via:

sudo xbian-config

Tvheadend

EPG Downloader

Copy zap2xml config to PI using scp.
Set cron job to fetch EPG daily:

crontab -e

# m  h  dom mon dow   command
  33 3  *   *   *     /home/xbian/zap2xml/runZap2Xml.sh

Enable internal grabber in path:

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /home/xbian/zap2xml/tv_grab_file

Frontend (Kodi)

In Kodi TV interface:

Install Tvheadend HTSP Client
Config: point to localhost

Backend

Basic setup

Create default user via ssh:

tvheadend -C

Enable tvheadend services via:

sudo xbian-config

Set proper users using the web interface: http://192.168.2.22:9981
- Admin:
  - tvheadend
  - xxxxx
- User:
  - <blank>
  - <blank>

Channel setup

The following is done using the web interface: http://192.168.2.22:9981 while logged in as admin.

Goto Config > DVB Input

Network tab: Add network us_ATSC_center_frequencies
TV Adapters tab: Assign network to tuner
Network tab: Force scan
Muxes tab: Check scan results.
Services tab: map all selected, map all services.

Goto Config > Channel/EPG

EPG Grabber tab: Set EPG frequency (advanced mode)

# MGouin custom to run 04:00 after zap2xml
0 4 * * *

EPG Grabber Modules tab: Enable Internal tv_grab_file
EPG Grabber Channels tab: Assign channels to each EPG channel
Channels tab: give proper channel names

DVR Setup

Possible file naming scheme:

Refer to http://docs.tvheadend.org/webui/config_dvr/

Goto Configuration > Recording > Profile

$t$-e_%F$n.$x

Debugging

Refer to: https://tvheadend.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Appendices/command_line_options/

Debug command:

tvheadend -d -u xbian -g xbian -c /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend

Default command:

tvheadend -f -u xbian -g xbian -c /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend

General Infos

HD Recordings: 30 min = 4165 MB

Recordings DB:

/home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log

Tuner Test

Hauppauge Xbox One

This tuner works well. It has the same chip as the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q (refer to dmesg listing below:

Maintenance

Check

mount
cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l
df -h
sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot list

Remove snapshots:

sudo -i
btrfs-auto-snapshot list | grep -v /@$ | grep auto-snap | xargs -L1 btrfs-auto-snapshot destroy

Correction

TBD? btrfs how to check for filesystem integrity?
