Hi people,
I'm a new user. I bought a box two weeks ago and I've slowly got round to setting it up, bit by bit. However, I've got a few questions/problems.... Really hoping you can help :)
So, firstly, storage. First drive didn't want to work, was a pretty old main powered and wasn't detected. Was found in dmesg though? Odd. Found a BUS powered imation which was detected but had problems initializing. Started fine at first but failed towards the end. The drive was clicking loudly which I've seen before and I'm sure is due to not enough power.... So, Y cable with an old phone charger and it's now fine. However, I just wanted some advice. I see lots of people using 2.5HDD in a caddy with no external. I have an adapter.... So I'm wondering are there any benefits to this? I guess the power consumption will be less but would love to know what people think.
The plugins section works on my box and has stuff like cacheflush but pressing download more doesn't work. Just seems to time out. Box OS is sucumsee.
Got an N line from a friend and placed in it in the newcamd.list file, enabled mgcam and it does seem to work ok but there are issues. I'm using the Wifi adapter that was included in the box (some unbranded generic nonsense) to connect to the internet. Occasionally, ill try and watch a channel and it won't play. If I then trigger some internet activity it'll work fine. Another time I was watching a channel and it stopped. Is it likely to be the wifi adapter or the line not working? It's really getting on my nerves. I'll try get a network cable but was just wondering if others had the same experience.
Is mgcam better than cccam?
I've got EPG on the USB drive, along with timeshift and recording. Is there any benefits to moving the EPG to a micro sd?
Think that's my questions for now
