that did the trick,

what settings do i need to change on crossepg, have it saving to disk,

its showing schedule download disabled, do i change that to 9.00 am or can it be anytime ?

Thanks again

Anytime you want, make sure you check the config file make sure it's saving to /media/hdd and never open the configure again in crossepg as it's bugged

Leave it alone until you get proper storage, most plugins are either downloaded in the box or ftp'd across

Anyone ever succeed in mounting their NAS within Enigma2?

I would really like to record and play to my NAS rather than using a USB harddrive locally.

PogMoThoin · 31-03-2013 2:03pm

Got up today to find the box had changed time automatically, the epg had the correct time and info but the display clock was on old time. A restart of Enigma then gave an error that a timer had changed time. It took a full cold boot to sort it. Be sure you all give yours a full cold boot or you may have errors and not notice.

Copied from the Satstation forum. Anyone wanting to map the EPG button to open CoolTvGuide get this plugin. It allows you map every button on the remote.

Is it safe ,someone on there mentioned it could cause the box to go into a reboot loop.

I have no idea, I've not had a play with it yet. Use it at your peril.

Edit: I just read the post on satstation, he says it is designed for HDMU on this box, not to try it on other boxes or other images on this box

I received a Golden Media Triplex during the week and have been setting it up using the info supplied on this thread and on the other Firmware thread.

The HDMU firmware seems fluid and stable.
The receiver boots alot faster than my Dm800 and the SD picture seems better than on the Dm800 ,perhaps a better scalar in operation .
HD picture quality is similar to the Dm800 .

Crossepg and Cooltv work well.RTE player works well but 3player wont load videos,just a black screen.
I installed Virtual Zap via plugins download but it seems buggy ,it locks up after zapping a few channels.Anyone else encounter this ?

The remote isnt the best ,the buttons are a bit stiff and the range of the remote doesn't seem great.
If I sit more than 8 feet away from the receiver or at a slight angle certain button presses dont register .I have to press hard or else it doesn't register.Could be a poor IR receiver on the unit .
Its fine up close ,very smooth.

The Mediaportal plugin is very good,loads of good apps on it .

On a Dreambox you can go back through channel history via the <> buttons,is there anything like that on the Triplex ?

I have the Golden Media Triplex T2 version and it is working, as posted before I had some trouble getting it to work.
The first time I got it to work I set the bandwidth to 8mhz in a manual scan, though I did not do it when I reflashed

You can do this with the << and >> buttons under play and pause on the remote

That explains what happened to me last night! I had the same thing - correct time on the EPG, old time on the LCD clock. I rebooted the box and thought all was well, but then last night a 1 hour recording timer turned into a 2 hour timer, and the box crashed when I tried to exit.

Had to do a cold boot and lost the recording...

When you go to the Plugins section, press green and then go to Media and you should see cooltv in there to download.

Has anybody had a problem with they fastforward a recording and when you go to play the recording goes off and you are brought back into the list of recordings you have?

I was testing out recording some shows over the weekend by
1. Pressing Rec and then choosing the option to "Record until end of current programme"
2. Setting shows to record by using the timer.

After these shows had recorded i hit the play button which brought me into USB directory and my list of recorded shows was there.

I played each of them but each time I fast forwarded (just to make sure the button worked) and then hit play the recording would go off and then I would be brought back into the list of shows I had recorded.

Also is there a way so that when you hit the EPG button it can default to the cool tv EPG listing?

Thanks

Works fine for me, hit >> once it goes 2x speed, hit it twice 4x, three times 8x etc, hit play then it plays again

I was able to go through the speed increases (x2, x4, x8 etc) but when I hit play the recording turned off.

Might just be my fat fingers as I find the remote a bit unpredictable. Sometimes I have to really hit the button to get response on the receiver, whereas other times I only have to lightly hit the button to get a response.

Only thing I found is when you play a file and immediately try to fast forward, it gets a bit contrary. Letting it play for a few secs first, then FF works fine.
As for the remote, it must be pointing right at the box. It seems the sensor in the box is not great. It's not the remote as I found another device reacts to it even in a different direction.

IR sensor is definitely poor,I've seen it mentioned on a few other forums .

I've noticed that switching the terrestrial channels is sluggish when using the Pli HD skin ,no such issues with the default or modernpli skin.
