Once OSMC finished installation on ATV1…Do I leave the usb stick there and let it reboots or take it out?[/quote]
You need to leave the USB stick there, since at the moment OSMC installs only on the USB stick. First it runs the installation and after it’s booting OSMC from the stick.
@sam_nazarko - I installed it yesterday and I like it quite a lot. I took my fasted USB stick and the installation was already fast, but so also the OSMC itself. The OSMC skin (which is nice) is very responsive, with some minor bugs. The movies - even in 1080p - start within 1-3 seconds, I never had such a fast playback with CB1 or CB2.
Which still lags a lot is the picture slideshow, maybe I should try to play them locally and not from the NAS. What I see now is already very impressive.
Thanks for that.
This time I was able to install with no issues. My issue comes after OSMC boots, and its only a problem on my particular TV (I had the same issue with OpenELEC on this TV and was never able to resolve it). Other TVs and computer monitors work fine. Once the OSMC splash screen goes away, my TV goes black and starts flashing “No input device”. Crystalbuntu works great, however.
The TV is an old 42" JVC, model LT-42P789 connected via HDMI to my ATV1.
After success with a 4GB stick, I decided to try an 8GB.
One wouldn’t boot at all, which I’ve seen before so no big deal.
What is interesting, is that the second 8GB stick booted up, and got as far as a 100% “installing files” progress bar, and has hung there at that stage overnight.
NOT all sticks are equal.
FWIW, I screwed up the 4GB fully installed stick by pulling it out before it was fully shut down. It wouldn’t boot after that and I had to re-image it.
Not surprised… but i had me thinking…
I seem to recall CB2 had rebooting issues. Would be nice to have a customized shutdown screen since the ATV won’t actually power off. Something to allow halting the system elegantly
Really?? That fast? I get the scrolling windows10-esque scrolling wheel after 2-3 seconds, however as i mentioned previously a local file on USB3 stick was taking minutes to start playing.
Since various USB sticks of the, supposedly, same basic type, either don’t work, or work well, or work slowly, when directly connected… I’m not surprised to see performance differences.
Even more chance of that if they are connected through a USB hub.
I’ve had a few hubs over the years and they were definitely not the same performance.
I had one, that for some reason exhibited slow performance when USB3 and USB2 devices were connected at the same time.
Some tech out there may know the reasons why. I just know what I’ve experienced personally.
toibs: What are you using ?
Joeben: what storage devices do you have connected to the ATV1 and how are they connected ?
I have also started to test this 11.11 Release. I am now testing with the second USB Stick, but the install is hanging at “Installing files” (the bar has turned dark blue). How long should I wait?
The first test USB stick was a 16 Gb extreme memory, and the second try was a 4 Gb Transcend JetFlash 300 which I bought just for testing OSMC. Does anyone have more specific model specs for working sticks?
How can I extract any debug information from my tries?
It’ll be USB related for sure. I’ve tried a variety of sticks and I’m not having an issue. You can set up a netcat session and add debugip=… to com.apple.Boot.plist and run /usr/bin/qt_target_installer manually for diagnostic information.
Hi,
I found out what the problem was. I used an old version of the Win32DiskImager 0.6 which was already installed.
When I upgraded to the latest version from sourceforge, it finally worked with the same stick as before (the Transcend Jetflash 300)
I hate to be “that guy” but I’m having trouble getting this to work on my ATV1.
I am running the latest OpenElec on it now.
I downloaded the .gz file from the 1st post. Checksum matches.
I downloaded WinDiskManager 0.9.5 from SourgeForce and installed as administrator. I tried 2 different USB sticks - one a 4 GB and the other an 8 GB. I formatted both as Fat32 before starting.
I used WinDiskManager to install to USB. I stuck the USBs (obviously one after the other) in the ATV1 and powered up. Everytime it ignores the USB stick and boots to OpenElec.
Have I misunderstood the directions? Can someone point out where I’m going wrong? Thanks
Is anyone else experiencing very very slow library updating/scraping ?
I have yet to hook up a hub+keyboard to see what’s up.
UPDATE: Did a test with network unplugged, with videos and .nfo files on local USB HDD and scraping was only marginally faster, even though all the data in .nfo files with the videos. Looks like it’s likely just an older USB2 stick with a slow write speed.
