Im looking at the possibility of gutting an old Foxsat-HDR thats at this pont simply being used as a cheap and dirty NAS via Raydons excellent firmare.
By gutting i mean comletely stripping the software and running nothing but SSH, FTP, MySQL and TVHeadend.
SSH/FTP for admin
MySQL for simple library sync between a series of raspberry pi's and firesticks running KODI (given the limited resorces available this may be a pipe dream, i have no idea ho much internal am i have to play ith at this point)
TVHeadend as a DVB-S HTSP server allowing Kodi to change channels and stream to each client.
Does this seem feasable?
Im simply asking before attacking the Humax with a screwdriver to determine which processor, and tuner chipsets ill need to set up my crosscompile toolchain and configs for, a cursory google search has yeilded no useful information concerning the hardware (which is odd considering the popularity of the box)
Anyone have any experience or looked into achiving similar?
At this point im still in the research phase, like i said i dont even know how much ram i have to fool around with, just sames a shame to let the box gather dust when it "should" be possible to repurpose it to do something more useful.
