I need to find something useful to do with my Pine since I can not use it for my original intent. 

Currently in our household we use an Amazon Fire TV STB to watch Playstation VUE, Netflix, and Hulu.

We have a 2nd 4K TV that we want to use for the same purpose. Rather than buy another Fire box why not build the Pine Playbox?

I would need some version of Android. I would connect to TV via HDMI. I heard that I may require DRM for Playstation Vue. Which version do I need?
When at home and not connected to TV I would like to watch my TV apps on the LCD. Need to make this seamless as possible changing between the two display methods. 

Also I would like, when we leave the house to be able to use the Playbox as a navigation tool in the vehicle. Google Maps works good for me on my other Android devices. Since they allow use of downloaded maps I do not need a data connection while traveling. 

What I do need is a GPS unit that I can mount inside the Playbox or connect to via Bluetooth. Any working suggestions?

I would need either an Ethernet or Wifi connection and access to Google Store when at home.


I have all the Pine hardware and my Pine is an A64+ 2Gb.

Gustavo Woltmann here and I am a working father of 2 in a small office of young publishers. Will the latest release and updates do not affect the device's performance? Will it cause lagging or not?

Hi,

Long-time lurker, first time poster.  I have been doing some work with my Pine64 2GB and came across the kernel-update.sh script and as I was having issues (and was hoping some missing kernel modules would be in the later release), I ran the script which determined that there was an update and it duly installed it.

Upon rebooting the Pine, everything came back but the network!  It doesn't appear to see the NIC at all now.
I had been previously forcing eth0 to 100MB F/D due to the gigabit issues, so I don't think it's related as even with the network connected, it doesn't even flash the connectivity LED any more to acknowledge a cable connected.


Is this a known problem?

I'll try again with a new memory card and the original image to rule out a hardware issue, but is there a way I can wind back the new kernel to the one which I was previously running before the script? Does it back up the original kernel folder?

It's difficult to use the Pine via the HDMI as it oversizes so badly that you can't read what you are typing at the bottom of the screen, so I've only done limited investigation at this stage so I'm not even sure exactly which version of kernel it has installed (whatever the latest is as of today I guess)

Thanks in advance.

I have Pine64 running under Debian with a Wifi module installed that came with the board.
However, I can access the network only by plugging a Wifi adapter into one of the USB
connectors.

Without Wifi adapter the terminal command "ip link" shows no Wifi just
a link called "sit0" and another "dummy0". Is one of those the Wifi module?

How can a get the module active and how can I find its MAC address?

I've installed ubbuntu  on my board and ran the resize_rootfs.sh script.  I tried to install MATE with:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/install_mate_desktop.sh

I get two errors"
E: Could not get lock /vat/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists

Did I miss a step?

Hello,

There is any alternative LCD with touch panel that will be work with Android? Lcd from Pine64 store has terrible viewing angle... If lcd has hdmi with usb touch, it will be ok too.

Hello Everyone,

As many of you have surely noticed, the forum have seen an increase in spam over the past few weeks. More than one person asked me directly or via PM to 'clean up' the forums; and I'm sure this is also true for other mods. Let me start by saying that I think that we are getting rid of spammers quickly as is, but you can speed up the process by reporting spam to us. 

Reading one of those requests today, it just occurred to me that some of you may not know how to report spam (or other undesirable activity), and hence this post. 

Having entered a thread, you will notice that under each comment there is a bar with a variety of options. On the right hand side of the bar, there is a 'report' button (with a red flag) which will look something like this.  
Clicking 'Report' will give you a drop down menu with a number of options - select the relevant one. Completing a 'Report' alerts mods to spam or other wrong-doings as soon as they log on. 

We are working on getting other systems in place to prevent excessive spam. However, it appears that some of the spamming is done by actual humans, which is much harder to prevent. So its important that you report spam when you encounter it. 

Thank you so much for your help, we greatly appreciate it! 

Hello!

I am trying to assign static IPs to two pines and be able for them to ping each other(for future ssh).
