PVR Manager refusing to start after 9.03 update

Gabriel · 4 July 2019 20:01

Hi, after I did the update to CoreElec 9.03, TVH refuses to start.
Any idea? I did disable and enable vor TVH service, but still no working…
On TV I have the message “PVR Manager is starting up” but nothing happens.

Here is the log:

I was messing about with a new build of 9.03 yesterday and came across something similar.

I didn’t analyse it much though and installed this version of the TVH service, which worked fine.

As soon as I reverted back, it all stopped working.

I reinstalled TVH service and client, but still same problem…
Everytime, after reboot, I have this error message.
“Failed to start Load Kernel Modules”

Gabriel · 5 July 2019 06:30

I did a fresh install of CoreElec 9.03, from USB stick, no addon installed, but same error after booting.
“failed to start Load Kernel modules”.

Here is the log after this command :“systemctl restart systemd-modules-load”

Could be a corrupted img download. Try re-download and install it.

anon88919003 · 5 July 2019 10:27

@Gabriel which file did you download so I can try this myself.

Gabriel · 5 July 2019 10:34

This one
CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.0.3-Generic.img.gz
Taken from here:

Before wasting time with this. please tell me exactly what to do after I burned this image with Rufus.
I just entered the usb stick, keeping pressed button until CoreElec logo appears.
After that, it starts a new version of Kodi, which asks me for addons, and anything else, like a new and fresh install.
But, if I take out the usb stick and boot, same old installs appears, so I need to know how to install directly to box storage,

anon88919003 · 5 July 2019 10:45

Did you copy the correct dtb to the root folder and rename it?

Gabriel · 5 July 2019 10:54

I took this file from usb stick, in the folder device trees : gxm_q200_k3_pro.dtb
I renamed it dtb.img

With new stick inside box it’s booting good version, no errors…
But when I take stick outside, old version with errors comes true… dtb

anon88919003 · 5 July 2019 12:51

Not sure I understand this, can you explain better?

Gabriel · 5 July 2019 13:29

After I burned an usb stick with Rufus, using new image 9.03 of CoreElec, I put it inside box, on booting port.
The box starts perfect, (with stick inside) without errors, and a new kodi, without my settings(addons, etc.)
If I take out the usb stick and reboot, the old version (with errors, and all my settings, starts again).

I mean : Installing to internal, sorry I forgot terms…
How to install to internal, this is my question.

Later edit:
I finally managed to do, I did a search here and I found the command installtointernall, from putty.

Well, after 30 minutes of waiting, it seems that “installtointernal” is not working, or something like that, I thought it shoul restart box after finishing the job, but no reboot happened.
I need to find a way to check if this command still working.

Maybe that’s because you have to type yes like the instructions on screen tell you and not just the letter y.

dazed · 5 July 2019 15:37

How dare you put in quotes how exactly it is suppose to be typed out In fairness I done the same thing typing just “y” about a week ago installing coreelec on an old s905x box i had

TheCoolest · 5 July 2019 16:20

Also note that this will overwrite your current install, it will be a clean install again.

Gabriel · 5 July 2019 19:20

Well, as usual, you let me without words…
I did type “yes” and now it;s backing up things…

Meiden · 9 July 2019 21:05

Same situation here. Coreelec 9.0.3 broke my PVR. It worked before, it just got break after the automatic update. My device is a Mecool K1 plus.

It is no good saying to us something doesn’t work without providing a debug log at the very minimum as we can’t help you or others without it.

JimmyS · 10 July 2019 11:19

So far I have 9.0.3 only on TVH-client environment, and all seems to work fine so far. Sadly cant test server yet ( TVH-Server environment’s have unfortunatelly also Pi clients apart from Win and Odroid’s, so I am waiting for LE to be able bump to Kodi 18.3 on all clients at once).

Gabriel · 10 July 2019 20:09

After reinstallation from zero, I managed to make it work again, but with few minor problems…
One is very annoying, after reboot it takes almost 1-2 minutes to start playing a tv channel.
Second, could be related, I tried to install an addon from a repository, but it says no network available…
But the network works, I have a weather addon that is updating…
