RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - redi - 2014-01-20 check out this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=143775 last post says: Ok, thank you very much, I've solved the problem. I folowed the steps, and added the "everyone user" to the share folder. Now I'm able to connect the share media.

The timezone issue is dealt with a couple of pages back. I was able to go from Geniatech Linux to XDA Linux. I first reverted toi Geniatech Android, and then flashed XDA Linux. First boot did not succeed but got stuck to TUX logo. So I reflashed, and it booted nicely. And yes, I noticed the timezone fix couple of pages earlier, but it really does not fix the timezone for me. I even copied my guisettings.xml from Geniatech Linux before I flashed XDA Linux, and tried to replace locale setting with following: Code: <locale> The other issue seems to be with mythtv PVR addon. It does not work very well. I have a lot issue while swithcing live-tv channels. It's very slow, and some of them do not work at all. I did not have any issues with Geniatech Linux. Also audio is off sync. I will most definetely go back to Geniatech Linux, since this does not work for me as it is now. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - sonicov - 2014-01-21 Yes, no matter how hard I would have loved to stay with community created and supported Linux, I had to flash back to Geniatech Linux. With mythv pvdr addon it works much better. Audio is in sync and I can switch to any live-tv channel much, much faster. Only thing I have issues with is that I can not power it down except by unplugging the power chord, but I can live with that. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - sonicov - 2014-01-21 Actually there is one thing I would like to change for ATV520E remote. The button with two "windows". Check picture below, the button next right to "home" button. At first it didn't do anything, but I checked the code from dmesg, and mapped it no to work as the "info" button just to check how to get it mapped to something. So I added line: Code: 0x51 23 ;NOTIFICATION (like to change this to EPG) Now it works as configured, but what would be correct code for letter "E", so I would get EPG? Any ideas? ATV520E Remote Thanks! RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - markcf105 - 2014-01-21 I have been looking at the timezone issue and appears that you can add the information in to the advancedsettings.xml file located in the .xbmc/userdata folder. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=169674&page=47 The issue is that it does not fix the problem nor does just editing the guisettings.xml. it appears that this version is missing a folder in user/share/zoneinfo it is not there. I have copied the folder from my raspbmc but cant copy it to the folder as it is locked out, any thoughts on how to copy the folder over to see if it will work? RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - sonicov - 2014-01-21 If you check /etc/fstab, you notice: Code: /usr.sqsh /usr squashfs ro,defaults,noatime 0 0 It's mounted as read only. If you change ro --> rw, and reboot, /usr should be writable. Be aware, that if you break your system following my advice, I'm not responsible for that. I tried to remount it as writable (mount -o remount,rw /usr) with no luck. I also tried mount /usr/sqsh to mount as writable, but no luck there either. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - redi - 2014-01-21 hey tinker, I added smb shares to the / folder as you detailed, however it seems I only have read access. I did this on my nexus7: SSH'd to the box, used vi to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf I added in only these shares: [XBMC] path = /root/.xbmc public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no [home] # Use at your own risk. Shares the home directory of the Linux install! path = / public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no I took the revised remote.conf and tried to copy it directly into /etc/ folder but got permission denied. I tried this both in windows 7 and using es file explorer from a nexus tablet. am I missing something?

Potentially you could do changes by copying the usr.sqsh to Linux with squashfs tools, mount it there, add the files, and transfer it back to MX. Example: I used scp to copy usr.sqsh to Linux box running mythbuntu. Then there I did: Code: root@lumi:~# unsquashfs usr.sqsh Do your edits/add files and directories, then squash it back and trasfer it back to MX Code: mksquashfs quashfs-root usr.sqsh UPDATE: actually MX Linux has the unsquashfs and mksquashfs utilities, so no need to transfer to another box. Unsquash, make edits, squash back and replace usr.sqsh. I emphasize, that I certainly haven't tried this myself!!!

Yes I noticed, but geniatech Linux has both unsquash and mksquash, so you could actually use those. I'm pretty sure XDA Linux has them too.

Am I missing something? I set up my SMB shares RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices - markcf105 - 2014-01-22 Tinker, did you get the timezone to work? I have read through the xda-developers forum and they are indicating that there is no current fix for the timezone issue as the files are not in the build. They say that the build is missing the TZ database. Redi, I have just done a fresh install of the xda build. Using filezilla and connecting using ftp not ssh i was able to change the remote.conf file located in ect/xbmc with out any issues. it was the first thing i did after enabling the wired connection. |
