[QPKG HD_Engine 1.1] Extend HD_Station User Experience

[gessi]

Hello,

I downloaded the environmental file "jessie32_1.0.tar" into the Public folder and installed the HD Engine and MyXBMC via GUI.

Anyway the HD Engine Icon is not showing in HD Station?
The MyXBMC Icon is showing in the HD Station but when I try to start MyXBMC nothing is happening?

Any idea what is wrong?

I have a Qnap TS251 running...

Hi,

I've done some quick test, installation was successfull but MyXbmc failed to launch. Do not have time to make further investigation atm.

Hello,

my_VLC is working properly but my_XBMC doesnt launch.

Here is the output from the SSH session:

Attached is the logfile from the WebAdmin.

I do not see any small Window also, XBMC just doesnt launch at all!?

The XBMC Crashlog from '/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HD_Engine/qnap'says:

Hum! jessie32 is not mounted ???

Hi,

I got it fixed as it is really a XBMC Database issue

The following commands and removing the DB's in ".xbmc/userdata/Database" fixed the problem:

[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HD_Engine/qnap] # hdechrt
root@TS251:/#

root@TS251:/# cd /home/qnap

root@TS251:/home/qnap# rm -R .xbmc/userdata/Database/*

Question:
1. How can I install a new/updated version of XBMC?

[gessi]

Thanks!

Did you ever try the LiveTV Addons on XBMC?

Qnap does not provide any LiveTV Addons but I need those to stream TV Channels from my Vuplus Duo2 Satellite Receiver to the XBMC.

When I enable the LiveTV features from "XBMC > Settings > LiveTV > Enable LiveTV" the system just hangs?
Also there are no PVR Addons available from the Addons section? Same for the XBMC package you provided!?

[gessi]

Could install the Vu+ PVR Addon now

# apt-get install xbmc-pvr-vuplus

Here is the list of PVR Addons available for XBMC on Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/search?suit ... s=xbmc-pvr

Works perfectly I would like to have Qnap enable the PVR addons also for their own XBMC distribution...

Now I have another problem, probably with permissions, as I can not add the /share directories on the Qnap to my XBMC Library.
The user running XBMC has no permissions? Can you help me how to do this?

[repere]

Hi,

I've some further tests and VLC works perfectly but XBMC still does not launch.

-Mount are ok
-but I do not have any .xbmc folder in /home/qnap (chroot). No crash log so or should I search somewhere else ?
-I only have one process not the second one : /bin/sh /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/HD_Engine/bin/myserv

Except XBMC everything work smoothly (TS-470) : apt-get install/update/upgrade.

If I may give you some advices, you should clean hdengine.sh

Anyway great job ! Gratz. It's great pleasure to have FULL env.

[gessi]

NOW
open a console :
HDE_PATH=`getcfg HD_Engine Install_Path -f /etc/config/qpkg.conf`
cd $HDE_PATH/bin
edit hdengine.sh ; search for LISTF="Public Multimedia" line and add in the quote others shared resource to mount (not /share itself) separate by space
save
then better is to be sure to have no My_xxx applications actives ( I have to rewrite the kill of them in case of HD_Engine stop ... )
then go to Web Admin / HybridDesk menu OR in QTV / Settings and deactivate HD_Engine (wait for end ... take some time) then reactivate it ... you can see the new mount in result of mount command in QNAP side ...

I have added via Web Admin a new group "xbmc" and had to change the gid to "111" as the created gid was "101" and that was not available anymore in the chroot.

I added also a new group called "xbmc" to the chroot and assigned gid "111" to it and added User "qnap" to this group.

The xbmc group on Qnap has Shared Folder access to /share/Multimedia/... but something is missing here!?

What exactly do I have to add to the hdengine.sh? Can you provide an example?

I have edited mine like this:
LISTF="Public Multimedia Multimedia/video/Movies"

Anyway if I go into the "Multimedia" Share on XBMC I can not see any contents of that directory???

root@TS251:/# su - qnap
qnap@TS251:~$ id
uid=1000(qnap) gid=1000(qnap) groups=1000(qnap),0(root),22(voice),29(audio),44(video),111(xbmc)

[pinster]

Absolutely superb work!

Can confirm working fine on 870 Pro - acceleration is working fine.

Would you like any help with development?

[boldie]

Hi father_made,

thanks for your HD engine.It's working great

Regarding XBMC would be great if you can add the "new" pvr.ths in the pvr-addon, too. It seems it's much more stable than the hvs.pvs regarding TVHeadend.

Hi,

Does this work with the latest XBMC (Now Kodi) Build - 14.0 "Helix" ?

And because of pinster's response, I take it H/W Acceleration is working? I have the TS-870Pro as well and am thinking of taking the plunge and using this, and knowing if it currently runs the latest XBMC/Kodi build will seal the deal for me (as long as H/W Acceleration is in fact working!)

[ouija]

I hate waiting for QNAP to release each version of xbmc/kodi. By the time they do, the next major version is out. Plus, I like the idea of having a full debian system at my disposal. Also curious to try out Virtual box.

Don't ever stop relasing this! Keep up the good work

[ouija]

Okay, I've taken the plunge with my TS-870Pro.

-Installation went fine, Using the latest HD Station (v2.0.0 for the 870-Pro). Is there a particular version of HD Station that should be used?
-Installed HD_Engine 1.1 and the taskbar appeared in the QTV/HD-Station on-screen GUI.
-Installed My_Xbmc 1.1, however I get an error message that acceleration is NOT working and support for OpenGL hasn't been enabled.

Tried updating via apt-get dist-upgrade but eventually got the following error:

dpkg: error processing package dbus (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:

Going to uninstall and attempt this again...

[ouija]

So after another try, I didn't run into the dbus error by simply running:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Updates completed successfully, then I tried to manually install Kodi (XBMC) by running the following:

apt-get install kodi
su - qnap
export DISPLAY=:0 (verified as screen "0" by running : ps -eaf | grep xinit or try ps -eaf | grep -v grep | grep " :0")
kodi

But still getting an error about not having hardware acceleration / OpenGL working with the graphic driver.

Trying to run a dist-upgrade now (which worked without previous dbus error)

apt-get dist-upgrade

However, Kodi still not running due to no acceleration

Any thoughts on how to enable acceleration on this **?

[jgdaqs]

It seems upgrading the QNAP package for the HD Station has broken HD_Engine 1.1. I'm thinking that removing the entirety of HD_Engine and reinstalling it would work, but I wanted to check and see if anyone else has such an issue with the latest QNAP updates.

edit: I removed all of the HD_Station and HD_Engine on my device, then reinstalled HD_Station, and HD_Engine, but HD_Engine cannot initialize. I'm guessing that there's a lot of under-the-hood changes in HD_Station 2.0/2.0.1 that prevent HD_Engine from executing properly.
