Osmc > Raspberry Pi & tv dongle...

[Archive-8]

Installed osmc on my spare Pi, then I installed samba server and tvheadend server.

Plugged in a spare tv dongle and in less than 2 mins i was scanning in channels via my tv aerial.

Going to play a bit more with it tomorrow


Don’t know if it will replace my hdhomerun.

To configure tvheadend once installed via the “my osmc” option is really simple.

Go to your ip address of the Pi eg 192.168.x.x:9981

Username: osmc
Password: osmc
