You might stick this in the firmware thread
along with a link to your latest image

Will do later on, I took down the link to the image I posted the other day because I only noticed after that tsmedia had broke the streaming. Should have a working backup link up tonight.

I loaded up champions AR-P image the other night and all worked well apart from the saorview, I was only receiving channels from one mux no matter what I did. Was there a solution found to this problem as the image itself did seems a little snappier?

Yeah I should have it back up again tonight, realised shortly after I posted it that tsmedia had broken streaming on the box so I'll have to fix that today and I'll have a new link up tonight.

MKV MKV MKV!
I'm having problems playing MKVs stored on my external USB HDD. It does everything else perfectly. Stores EPG Data, Timeshift & Timer recording & Playback.
I have tried loading some MKVs onto the HDD by FTPing, they are visible in media player, but I just get a green screen & reboot .

(Funnily enough, even with Hundreds of channels , my main problem is playback of MKVs of Peppa Pig & The Gruffalo. The box has remained almost exclusively tuned to CBeebies since it was installed!)

How do I store & playback MKVs on the attached HDD , I'm on Champion's AR-P image. Thanks

The only solution I found was to use dreamboxedit to ftp (backup) the files from a working install and back on to a non working install.
I have not figured out why I can only get the 2 muxes on Hyperion and not any others (AR-P and HDMU)

White Heart Loon · 10-01-2014 11:44am

I have the same issue with the latest Ar-p, I cannot get the saorview channels working, even when I upload from a working hyperion v2 using dreamboxedit. The terrestrial tuner is not working at all.

I found it temperamental at times and had to try a few times to get it working

just using Hyperion at the moment.

I am curious as to what the difference is, I have an indoor aerial but my tv, hyperion and spark say that I have a good signal

Anyone a working copy of these files for three rock? I can get Mux2 (RTE1,etc) and can't get the Mux 1 channels now

@championsc

:-( Still getting green screen on MKVs even with BMediaCentre

How do people normally play MKVs ?

hallo dare · 10-01-2014 3:47pm

Seems the box doesn't handle them well. I can watch them on Hyperion v3 but it usually stutters starting off and you can't rewind/fast forward which is a pain in the you know what.

Seapoint · 10-01-2014 4:31pm

Well, This has been an experience!

I'm coming from a dedicated Windows MediaCenter with DVB-S & T, giving me all of the freesat Saorview channels for the last few years, with torrents, a family friendly remote etc. When I introduced the Amiko on Wednesday and couldn't play 'The Gruffalo' or 'Peppa Pig' there was a frown or two, to say the least.

The promise of gazillions of channels temporarily won the argument.

However, I still can't play Peppa!

Then, HelloDare gave me an idea. I set up XBMC (albeit on my laptop atm to test) and ran the LiveTV with VU+/Enigma PVR client .... we may have something here!

If you want to watch Peppa Pig on a PC from a connected USB HDD, my image has Samba Server loaded and working. For those who don't know what this is, it allows you to map your boxes' USB HDD as a network drive on your PC. Simply map \\box_ip\hdd

Seapoint · 10-01-2014 5:39pm

@championsc Thanks... I want to watch it the other way round though. The samba share is handy for loading the media onto the box. Thanks

Using the Hyperion v3 image on my GM spark Triplex box at the moment. All good when the box is up and running but every 2-3 days it won't switch on via the remote or front buttons, and I have to power the box off completely via switch at the back and reboot. It's fine then again for a few days, anyone come across this before, could it be a setting or bad config?

I've a triplex also, ran it for about a month with Tech Guy's V3 version. I didn't see this issue. I don't think i even seen 1 greenscreen. I've just switched back after trying out AR-P.

I had that problem before on my AA2, can't remember how I fixed it though. Could it be that you have set up hdmi-cec wrong? Try disabling the driver in the pkt bluepanel and see if that helps.

Thanks, have HDMI-CEC turned off. Thought it might have been the samba server was the culprit so turned that off too, have turned off most non essential plugins but the problem persists. It's not that big of a deal, but it can't be good for the attached mobile hard drive as it loses power when I hard reboot the box.

I installed the jan version of V3 but kept green screening while trying to scan on terrestrial. Went back to December copy. sky logo cool but I think I'll stick with Kerni HD

Yeah I use the NAS all over the house. Everything is downloaded to it and any device, even my phone, can access it.

How do I remove automounting?

Have you any idea why openwebif is not working?

Sorry for all the hassle.

Sorry, I forgot to suggest, turn off OpenWebIf and turn on WebInterface instead

Seapoint · 10-01-2014 9:49pm

@TheTechGuy I wonder was I doing something incorrectly? I flashed your backup , the kernel flasher as per normal, but the filesystem flashed too quickly, wouldn't boot. I tried it a few times but to no joy?

Are you flashing it through the spark plugin?
