TV on Joggler / Kernel Sources Required

[BuZz]

I'm afraid I don't have any free time currently to help, over recommending searching Google, but basically you can rsync off the filesystem onto a pc and "chroot" to it. As a workaround, you could git checkout the sources on a PC and copy them onto the Joggler (if having connectivity issues).

No problem, I understand.

I think I'll have to leave it for the moment. I've dedicated far too much time to this already with no results.

I may get back to it at some point. Depends if I can get it working on a raspberry Pi or pogoplug more easily.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Some progress....

Ran out of space trying this on the eMMC version of SqueezePlay OS v2, so will need to start again on the external flash version.

This builds however...

Code: Select all

sudo su

apt-get --no-install-recommends build-essential git
apt-get install  patchutils libproc-processtable-perl

cd /root

wget http://birdslikewires.co.uk/download/openframe/kernel/3.10/3.10.29op1_precise/linux-headers-3.10.29op1_3.10.29op1_i386.deb

dpkg -i linux-headers-3.10.29op1_3.10.29op1_i386.deb

ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.29op1 /lib/modules/3.10.29op1/build

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git 
cd media_build 
./build 
make install

Now to figure out what I need to do to package up the compiled files (surely I can share these instead of everyone needing to build this)...

I am trying to run tvheadend on my openpeak 2 and I used these instructions to build the linux headers (switched to the updated version). I believe this compiled ok, but I can't get my tv tuner to work! It is a wintv 950q and it is supposed to work under linuxtv. Is anyone successfully using the joggler for tv or a tv server (like I want to do)?

Not exactly what you want but have you seen this thread

One sure bet way to stream live TV which worked for me was installing a Broadcom Crystal HD mini pcie card in the OpenPeak 2. They can be found these days for as little as $10 USD. Tiny thing recognized right away by the OS. I am though streaming live/recorded/internet HD content via XBMC / MythTV.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get my Openpeak to recognize my tv tuner by starting from scratch with BuZz's Xubuntu 14.04 image and then was able to successfully install TVHeadend. All that was required after that was to update the firmware that the driver was looking for as described on the Linux TV site. I have no idea how to configure TVheadend ....so on to the next challenge!

Glad you got somewhere with it BuZz's builds are the best .
Be sure to report back on your success / failure , it's good to see what the Jogglers are getting up to .
