Tronsmart T1000 and Linux video

Play your video on TV, from Ubuntu without Miracast, Ezcast, AirPlay

Install :

UPnP-Inspector 
is an UPnP Device and Service analyzer, and a debugging tool,
based on the Coherence DLNA/UPnP framework.
Rygel
is a home media solution (UPnP AV MediaServer)
that allows you to easily share audio, video and pictures to other devices.
Rygel-preferences
provides a graphical tool to configure Rygel and set custom preferences.



Transmart:

Plug in your device in TV (mine is Tronsmart T1000)
Configure it to your home wi-fi with your Android smart phone,
using Ezcast (Ezcast.apk from Google Play Store)

On Ubuntu PC

Connect your PC to Transmart wi-fi ("Transmart-9BABxxxx" mine)
Internet should work just the same.
(maybe not necessary?)

Start upnp-inspector (in "Programming", or /usr/bin/upnp-inspector)
Find your device and leave it open.

Start rygel-preferences (from terminal /usr/bin/rygel-preferences)
Select your media-folder, and save, close.

Start rygel (in terminal /usr/bin/rygel)

Go back to Inspector.
New sections should appear containing your media-folder.
Browse in it (double click) and find your movie, right click and execute.
Your movie should start playing on TV.   :-)

Solaris specific

Using fdisk make 'Sun disklable'

• fdisk /dev/sdb
• s (create new empty Sun disklable)
• d (delete (linux) partitions)
• n (add a new partition)
• l (list known partition types)

Something like:

• /dev/sdb1.......0....279...140616..2..SunOS root
• /dev/sdb2..u..279....580...151704..3..SunOS swap
• /dev/sdb3.......0..17660..8900640..5..Whole disk
• /dev/sdb7.....580...1629...528696..4..SunOS usr
• /dev/sdb8....1629..17660..8079624..8..SunOS home

To mount sdb8 :

• mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt -t ufs -o ufstype=sun,ro

ddrescue restore

'New HDD' in USB-Drawer (e.g. 'sdb').

Using fdisk or gparted or ....
make same number and type of partitions as for 'p.table.txt'
just biger in size and set the bootable flag.

Restore partitions:

• drescue /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img /dev/sdb1
• drescue /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_2.img /dev/sdb2
• drescue /mnt/hdd3/bkup/sdb_1.img /dev/sdb3

Restore MBR just not the table (different disks - different tables)

• dd if=/mnt/hdd2/bkup/mbr.img of=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=446

Check it:

• fsck /dev/sdb1
  

ddrescue backup

ddrescu with some 'live-cd' (e.g. 'INSERT')
Hdd to rescue/backup is in USB-Drawer (e.g. 'sdb').
Where to backup (e.g. ntfs 'hdd2/bkup/')

Mount 'where to backup' :

• ntfs-3g /dev/hdd2 /mnt/hdd2

Copy-paste sdb-part.-table to some text-file (e.g. 'p.table.txt') :

• fdisk /dev/sdb
  
• p (to 'print' the table)
• copy, paste and save to '/mnt/hdd2/bkup/p.table.txt'

MBR backup :

• dd if=/dev/sdb of=/mnt/hdd2/bkup/mbr.img count=1 bs=512

Partitions backup (not a whole disk) :

• ddrescue /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img
• ddrescue /dev/sdb2 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_2.img
• ddrescue /dev/sdb3 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_3.img

If it's to big :

• ddrescue /dev/sdb1 | gzip -9 > /hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img.gz

Check it :

• mkdir /mnt/1
• losetup /dev/loop3 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img
• fsck /dev/loop3 (? not sure)
  
• mount -t ext3 /dev/loop3 /mnt/1/
  
• umount /dev/loop3
• losetup -d /dev/loop3
