* find out that emby server DVR/LiveTV requires premium subscription !! * was able to access E2 HDD via SMB, but no SMB is not configured correctly (left it to one side for now) * installed the emby client on my LG server * feed the E2 m3u list into the emby server * installed docker and used the official emby server docker image, success!

* attempted install of emby server on my arch machine (yes I use arch btw ) started the systemD service which blew up on start! If all you are really wanting to do is record stuff (that the Zgemma is looking at anyway) for later replay on the Zgemma or other LAN connected clients, then you probably don't need things like emby and you already have all of the hardware, services and client devices needed to do the job - just a case of gluing them together across your LAN using traditional network services and protocols Also, remember that DLNA is very simple and tends to work very well with a very low overhead on the vast majority of devices.

Your Zgemma can map LAN based disks and be set to record to them is desired, and in turn you can point individual clients at it as well (ie kodi, emby, android etc etc). the map would look something like this for example :-Īnother option would be to put the disk on your LAN as a central resource. Kodi is really very good at that sort of thing. Start with say SMB (probably be presented as 'windows network' or something like that), and see how you go. Maybe as an experiment you could try mapping the Zgemma's disk from within your OpenElec/Kodi installation and see how you go. (Being a die-hard Linux user myself I would tend towards just using SSHFS, but that won't work for many client devices). To connect to it the simple answer is probably to just pick one protocol that you like the look of and use that. OK - again you have a ton of choices available.įirstly your Zgemma already has running a number of network server services including SMB/CIFS, FTP, NFS, SSH, and as a result is already available as a network drive by default. On the other hand, you could just point Kodi directly at your H9 and do-away with the middle-man so to speak. Client wise you could just use the E2 DLNA Client plugin on the H9, but as you say, the Kodi client is very nice indeed. That said, Emby/Jellyfin can happily leverage the H9's tuners and any resource on an attached disk. Either way, I doubt very much that there is any point in using the H9 as a base for a server as you suggest. (the back story that lead to the fork of Emby and the creation of jellyfin is well known).

If you are wedded to the sly-look-alike then you might find that KiddaC's skins more agreeable.Įmby - being a free software advocate, I would urge you to investigate Jellyfin as a better option all round. Personally I care little for sly-look-alikes and stick with the Metrix type skins which IMHO are much snappier. On the OpenATV UX point - I know what you mean about a 'clunky' experience (even on a box as capable as a H9). I haven't played with that for a while, but as you probably already know, the choices you have are quite extensive when you start to go down a rabbit hole like that.

So is this possible, has anyone had experience of installing an Emby Server on OpenATV or an Enigma2 box (I can SSH into my box if that helps?)

I like the Emby client UI in terms of recording + EPG guide etc. So its seems that *IF* I could install an Emby server onto the zgemma, in theory I could either feed the `m3u` into that server OR perhaps even pick up the DVB-S tuner directly? and then use Kodi as the client? So I looked at a bunch of options, and finally found out about Emby. Now I have a separate Kodi box running on Raspberry Pi 3 (using openElec), and the "simple IPTV" player was amazing!Ĭhannel switching is fast, EPG is great etc, but no recording!. To that end, I've looked at other UI /clients I could use, then I realised I could create `m3u` playlists via the OpenWebIf and use ANY standard IPTV player client, now this opened up a LOT of possibilities. However I just find everything a bit clunky from a UI experience (almost all of it around the recording UX). I have a zgemma (H9 Twin 4K 1TB HDD), and have flashed OpenATV + wooshbuild and using the SkyQ skin, all working nice. Hi all, I need some help and I'm not sure if this is the best place.
