Unfortunately, it can stream to the network only through its own web interface, it will not work to generate an m3u playlist from it and upload IPTVSimple to PVR.

[stalker_zh]

There are a couple of questions:
- is it worth switching from Avatar3?
- is there a detailed EPG (briefly about the film, the program), and not just who is cast, its genre and what year is the film)?
: drinks:

There is no problem with sound - it drives 5.1 in terms of optics and HDMI. But with the resolution there are still questions - the menu is exactly 720p, KODI also draws in the properties 720, but for example MX opens films with the same FSVideobox in native 1080p resolution. So it's not so bad

Thanks for the answer! ... it means that it is in the satellite part that there is no full full HD picture? ... very sad ...

[varazdat]

This is a setup. How so?
Here the idea was expressed that this is completely on the android version of the receivers. What's so at all? At least on hybrid consoles, I did not notice this. Atm seems to be only 4k upscaled and displayed after 1920.

Damn well, such a jamb from the receiver directly killed the hunt to take it.
Is the twin receiver the same? The same cant?

[freeuser]

personally it does not bother me.
Well, a shell is made in the extension 720 and so what ?! So far, I have not come across complaints from owners of 4K TVs about the poor rendering of the shell.

FullHD content reproduces with dignity. 4K I do not dabble ... and the TV set is just a Panasonic DT60 47 tsol

[varazdat]

Well, it turns on you turn on the HD channel and the receiver shows it in fake HD. this is crap.

There is no 5.1 optics there! only stereo ...

Is this a hunch? : rolleyes:
He shows HD channels just like my Xtrend 9200!

Is this a hunch?

What other guesses. People wrote that Satellite upscaleit 720 in FCD. It gives honest FCD only when playing files from the library.

[freeuser]

varazdat
I find it difficult to understand this pearl.
if the channel goes in the extension 720p then naturally upscale.

I repeat again:I have a picture from Spark2 Combo identical to the picture of the Xtrend ET-9200 receiver !!!
FullHD channels show no worse than others.

do not water the receiver with a fennel only on someone else's conclusions: antifeminism:

5.1 sound is 100% in optics, and via HDMI, and from satellite, and when playing movies (if you use MX, do not forget to install codecs manually or versions with DTS / AC3 ​​codec).

I even like the quality of satellite images better than on the old S8120.

I will be very grateful, like all users of Spark2, if you explain how you got 5.1 sound from the satellite.
What kind of video receiver, what Spark firmware, on which channel have you tried?
Unfortunately, the fact that there is no 5.1 sound in optics is also recognized at the Gisklub forum ...

I don’t know how it is with sound on Spark2, I have a subjectSpark2COMBO, these are two different tuners.

Firmwarev1.0.35connected optically to the receiverSony STR-DG910directly, not through the TV (it was because of this that I had problems at first).

Many channels are now broadcast with multichannel sound, especially cinema and Discovery.
Especially yesterday I took pictures - byTV1000there was a movie with soundDolby Digital 3 / 2.1. And the sound goes in all sound modes - OPT IN, HDMI IN and AUTO IN

[Berimor66]

Tell me how to reassign the button. For example, you need to start Cody Skype instead

[Andry_S13]

Does anyone work on an HDMI-CEC combo? At least turn on / off?

[vitall10]

The remote control from the tuner turns on and off Samsung ES KX TV series. On lji, the tuner sometimes turns on with the telecom, but mostly I turn it on with my native remote control.

How to get root on it, or how to watch YouTube without ads, the last time the advertisement stops and resets the video

[Andry_S13]

Since HDMI-CEC does not work, the question arose of how to reconfigure the receiver for another remote. My telly knows how to control other devices with a special IR emitter, but our list is not in the list of supported devices ...
began to delve into the firmware, found the file system \ etc \ key.xml, in it entries like:
<key value = "0x35caff00" name = "KEY_UP" /><! - key up-->
This is very similar to the remote control button codes. With the same name, there are several buttons with different codes, obviously for working with different remotes. How now to determine the codes of a non-native remote control to fit into this file? Maybe there is some kind of logger of the received codes?

There is also a system \ etc \ keyfunction.xml file, it contains entries of the type
<key>
<keyName>xbmc</ keyName>
<keyValue>1180</ keyValue>
<packageName>org.xbmc.kodi</ packageName>
<activityName>org.xbmc.kodi.Splash</ activityName>
<action>android.intent.action.MAIN</ action>
</ key>
But there is no such code 1180 in key.xml ...
