OpenPCTV is a support computer cable DVB-S2 satellite, DVB-c, DVB-t terrestrial wave receiving device (PCI/PCIE/USB) to receive and play Linux distributions. Thanks to contributions from Yinghong.Liu
Features:
Perfectly supports the original CHC HD, CCTV 3/5/6/8 1080p full HD and a number of provincial satellite TV HD channels HD hardware solutions for output, 5.1-channel and a variety of audio devices (analog, digital, HDMI) switch output.
Integrates XBMC 12.2 Frodo, VDR 2.0.2 and Enigma2PC (a transplanted DM8000HD set-top box systems) three platforms.
Supports more than more than more than 60 languages worldwide support, one-switch XBMC/VDR/Enigma2 language interface.
Original full EPG support is provided.
Support OScam, Wikileaks, VDR-SC and TTscam support.
No need to manually edit the configuration file with dialogue menu styles can do most of the configuration.
Copy the ISO file to a USB memory stick to normal use (will establish a loopdisk.img virtual disk files on a USB memory stick, USB memory stick of a capacity of not less than 1G)
Three platforms support Intel (vaapi)/AMD (vdpau via UVD)/Nvidia (vdpau) video hardware decoding.
Use kernel direct drive for remote control devices, remote control device can directly support without any configuration.
Most supported DVB devices on the market.
XBMC xvdr plug-in is installed, the default XBMC watch TV of VDR.
OpenPCTV follow the GPL open source protocols, open all its source code. Opkg package management, can be upgraded online. System to ISO CD-image format, not scrolling on a regular basis by date of release.
Environmental requirements:
Intel graphics cards support the Intel G45 motherboard set, first generation Intel Core HD graphics and the SNB, IVB, Haswell, core graphics.
Latest AMD AMD graphics thanks to the kernel and Mesa open source drivers to support vdpau hardware decoding mode. HD4*** support (or 785G/880G/890G set, but only supports MPEG2 hard work, and does not support MPEG4/h.264/VC-1 hardware decoding), HD5*** and HD6*** (both series can provide perfect support, pay attention to the first generation of APU-FM1 and is the set of HD6***), HD7*** and HD8*** (now the second generation of APU of the two series, Note that this series in the XBMC OSD interface does not display properly, popping sound HDMI audio output, it is an open source driver problem, if using motherboard audio output, and can use an Engima2 and VDR)
Series of Nvidia video cards are more widely. Specific model of video card GF8400 08 and beyond basic with Nvidia graphics card support, note that memory must be not less than 256M (not TC256M)
DVB cards supported: OpenPCTV Linux support card can be used in theory. General OpenPCTV can directly support the more general Prof, Tevii, DVBWorld, DVBSky, TBS, and other equipment. While also providing S2-liplianin and TBS provide more DVB devices support two driver packages. Please enter the configuration mode for your first adjustment drive. Note partly cx88 PCI card and PCIe based on cx23885 there may be occasional unable to drive, you can specify your DVB card type in the configuration mode.
Remote support: basically the kernel can support remote control you can drive directly, such as partial CIR remote control comes with the motherboard, standard MCE Remote control and DVB card comes with remote control, you have to do is you need to specify the default for Lirc remote control device. CIR and MCE Remote control are recommended. DVB card comes with remote control some keys may need to be redefined. This requires specific equipment may be. Note that some non-universal remote such as "away" may require special configuration (write udev rules), and these can be discussed.
Display and audio devices: recommended use TV or projector that supports 1080p. Loudspeaker equipment recommended 5.1 channel AC3 decoder (Zhejiang satellite TV, CCTV3568 and CHC HD, sometimes sending 5.1 audio channels, display resolution and audio output channel selection can be set in configuration mode.
Other equipment requirements: CPU at least E350 can perfect use, memory 1G is enough to get by. If directly using a USB memory stick, at least 16G (video, this capacity is not sufficient), it is best to Board and USB memory stick support USB3 (lots on the market use of SLC chips USB3 u disk read and write speed up to 200MB/s per cent), and installed to the hard drive, as the case may be, if you want video, bigger is better, of course. Notable requirements is used as a system disk to a USB key is still high. U normally use may not have found nothing wrong, but was used as a system disk might have bad blocks, resulting in some unknown error.
Using forms
OpenPCTV currently offers three forms of use.
Running LiveCD, burn ISO to a CD and then boot from the CD OpenPCTV. Because the system needs to be configured, and the optical disk system, all the data will be reset after reboot. It is recommended only when you need to install the system burning discs. (That is, start the installation from the CD OpenPCTV)
U-disk mode, this mode approximates the hard drive installation. All configurations are automatically saved and will not disappear after reboot. As long as u-high capacity (32G and above), and speed (USB is usb3 motherboard interface, read and write at 50MB/s above) you can also obtain and install the same speed experience. Below describes how to mount the ISO into USB memory stick in a windows/Linux (USB disk using fat3 2 format, USB memory sticks can be maintained in addition to OpenPCTV other files)
Hard drive installation, boot media (CD or USB memory stick) choose to Install OpenPCTV to disk when you start Setup mode, OpenPCTV can be installed to your hard disk. Worth noting here is that you need to hard disk partitions are more familiar with, it is best to leave a section for OpenPCTV, during the installation, you can choose to install to the partition. The installer will install the Grub2 to the hard drive (you can choose whether to install to your hard disk MBR) and, in theory, you can normally recognized by other operating systems such as Windows and Linux, these startup items will also be added to here. After installation the first time you start go to "Setup Mode" initialize configuration.
Start USB memory stick making
Below about how to make a USB boot disk (also for installation media), both Windows and Linux platforms respectively. Note a lot of USB memory sticks at the factory mass production generated partition table might be unsuitable for system disk, the partition table in Linux/dev/sdb (assuming that the SDB is a USB memory stick device) are the USB memory stick (USB-FDD), we need to create a/dev/sdb1 (the USB-HDD model) primary partition. Of course we can directly use Ultraiso Windows tools, it will directly resize the partition table on a USB key. Made USB key combines the advantages of the OpenPCTV started, also may make it, but please keep at least 1G of free capacity.
Windows in two ways:
Can directly write the ISO using Ultraiso tools USB
Using tools such as 7zip to extract all contents of the ISO to a USB drive, then open the Windows command line window (note that the Windows7/8 need to open an administrator mode command prompt window), and then follow:
F: assume that f is a USB memory stick drive letter.
cd boot into boot directory
bootinst execution BOOTINST.bat
Then two carriage returns.
Linux:
Establishing openpctv-. ISO file mount the disc:mkdir /tmp/iso
Mount openpctv-. ISO CD files:mount -o loop /where/is/you/openpctv-*.iso /tmp/iso
Copy all content into your Flash drive in the ISO, assume that/media/USB is your Flash drive mount point:cp -a /tmp/iso /media/usb
Enter the u disk/boot directory:cd /media/usb/boot
Implementation of syslinux boot the Installer bash bootinst.sh
Run configuration
Started for the first time please enter "Setup Mode" to complete all initial configurations. Configuration process using Chinese conversation mode. Period include language settings, the default startup settings, network settings, the DVB card driver configuration, Lirc-infrared remote control selection, set the resolution of the display device, audio settings, automatically download satellite parameters, configure CAM decryption module selection, DiSEqC (VDR/XBMC,Enigma2 only need to enter the interface settings), the automatic channel scan (again, only VDR/XBMC,Enigma2 are subject to the same access to its interface). Worthy of note is widely used for CCcam CCcam.cfg account you only need to be thrown to a USB drive, the system will automatically read on startup configuration.
Enigma2/VDR/XBMC is running on tty4, you can do so at any time by Ctrl+Alt+F1...F3 to switch and to root:root log on to shell, you can run Setup to configure it. But it is important to note that if the current VDR.service are supported, all modifications shall be null and void for VDR, VDR processes need to be stopped here, such as:
VDR is currently into:systemctl stop vdr
XBMC is currently into:systemctl stop vdr-backend
After you configure, you can reboot the system or directly start VDR processes:
systemctl restart vdr
systemctl restart vdr-backend
You can use the SSH remote login to a running OpenPCTV, the account root, root password or you can use FTP to transfer the files, account password for openpctv
Enigma2 deadlock situations by accident, I define the MCE Remote control on "RECORD" button to force restart enigma2 process, so that you can press this button does not need to restart your computer to restart Enigma2
To get the source code:git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openpctv/code openpctv-code
tested on intel core 2 duo with ati radeon 3800 and very old skystar2 and a old 20gb ata hdd.
cardsharing work like a charm and its fast operating compared with a receiver
its using oscam and to get the cardsharing working all needed to do is just put a cccam.cfg into an usb when you boot into enigma2.
very very easy to install.
be sure to use ata hdd,
cant test yet the hd channels since i dont have a dvb-s2 card.
