Openelec + DD Cine S2 + Unicable ?

Added by Sylvio Egal about 11 years ago

Hi.
I really need help to use my new tvcard with openelec.
I already started a thread in the openelec forum but nobody seems to answer. Maybe they dont have a unicable setup :(

If I login via web interface to tvheadend there is no option for unicable. Therefor I have no signal. I already created a scr.conf and a diseqc.conf, but I dont know exactly where to put these files.

Can someone please give me a point where to start?

Hi Sylvio,

By reading following thread, you should have "EN50494 SCR / Unicable" in "DiSeqC Version"

"Configuration / DVB Inputs / Tv Adapters / < DVB device > / General"

Then you probably have to set your unicable frequency, scr number and pin in the "Adapter config"

=> in this thread you will also see 2 pictures:

Ps: please note i'm not a Unicable user, i just try to help ;)

Thank you very much for your help.

It seems there are 2 ways:

1. Compile the kernel with the unicable patch
2. Add the unicable Code into tvheadend

Kernel compilation is too difficult for me. And I dont know how to add the code to tvheadend. Maybe someone can guide me in the right direction with this code :)

Hi Sylvio,

I'm sorry, i was not available since one week, that why you haven't got any message.

You should try to build Seife's TVH release by using a Linux distrib such as Debian.
(Seife's realease is here: https://github.com/seife/tvheadend
Original TVH is here : https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend )

For example :
=> Install GIT :
aptitude install GIT

Then create a temp directory in a directory, and clone Seife code inside :

mkdir mytvh
cd mytvh
git clone https://github.com/seife/tvheadend.git

=> Then go inside, start configure script and build it (such it's explain on the web page) :
cd tvheadend
./configure
make

=> the result should be in ./build.linux/

You will probably have dependcies pakages to install. "configure" will tell you packages you need to.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

What is your Openelec hardware ?
I should try to build Seife's TVHEAD for you if you want.

Asrock z77e-itx with Core I3 3225
onboard Intel HD4000
Digital Devices Cine S2 (5.4)
Openelec 3.2.1 x64

Hi,

Ok, here is a Seife's tvheadend bin, v3.5.205~g4151e91
It should be good, i hope ^^

In order to update your Openelec, here is a way (for you or for others :-) ) :

=> extract the bin in \\openelec\Downloads

=> start a ssh session via Putty for example (password =root/openelec).

=> stop TVHEADEND
tvheadend.stop

=> change dir & backup you current bin:
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin
mv tvheadend tvheadend.original

=> copy the new bin inside
cp ~/downloads/tvheadend ~/.xbmc/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin

=> try to start it in command line to check if everything looks good ( is the bin OK ?)
tvheadend -d -C -u root -g video -c /storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend

Hope it will works ! ( i can't test )

-----------
If the binary is not good : you can go back with:
tvheadend.stop
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin
rm tvheadend
mv tvheadend.original tvheadend
tvheadend.start

Here is an update ! i forgot to bundle the webui in the binairy

(that means if you try, you will have some HTTP error in openelec since the /src/webui is missing.)

So please use this new file.

RE: Openelec + DD Cine S2 + Unicable ? - Added by Sylvio Egal about 11 years ago

Hi.

I have used your new .bin (with webui) and I followed your guide.

2 things I have to notice:
1. You have to rename the .bin file "tvheadend.3.5.205~g4151e91.with WEBUI bundle" to just "tvheadend" before you can send this command: "cp ~/downloads/tvheadend ~/.xbmc/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin" ;)
2. This command: "tvheadend -d -C -u root -g video -c /storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend" only gives me "permission denied"

But I have restarted the system and the WebUI shows me the new tvheadend version and I can configure the unicable settings :)

Now I am looking for a guide how to set up unicable within tvheadend and then I hope everything is fine :)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

RE: Openelec + DD Cine S2 + Unicable ? - Added by Baum K about 11 years ago

1) Oh you're right ! since i have gziped the file with new name, you have to rename it. My guide is not perfect damned :p

2) quite strange normally you should start tvhead in command line. Perhaps you have to change permissions, such like
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/service.multimedia.tvheadend/bin
chmod +x tvheadend

I m happy to know that it helps you. Hope you will enjoy TVH and give a thanks to Seife who mades the hard work ! :D

Unicable isn't supported by tvheadend. Someone has added support and
submitted a pr but its not been merged yet.
