You'll find it in /boot as far as I remember but you'll need to replace it with another .mvi file or I think you"ll just get stuck at boot.

Yeah I found a software online that handles all that but have since taken a backup and moved on to a new image as the vfd isn't working in this.

Yeah i haven't seen a fix for hyperion yet.

Slevster

this may help those with audio issues on PKT Hyperion images. Its a replacement for the audio file.
It fixes the issue of delay in audio when flicking between channels (if using spdif setting and amp)
Also , less of a volume difference in volume when flicking between channels also
As always, make a backup first, and take a copy of your original file.
unzip and ftp it to /boot

Here is the link to my latest image http://bit.ly/1nxo0aY

It's a new from scratch updated version of the image I prepared before with the latest OpenPli but it also includes an update script (credit to martinxp). To update the image telnet in and run "./Update_E2.sh"

You will need a 256MB swapfile enabled and mounted in the hddmountmanager plugin

As I'm based in Ireland this image is setup to suit satellite on 28e and Irish Terrestrial

What I have confirmed as installed and working:
Working for Irish terrestrial on T+ tuner (works set to Italy, do a full scan if you're not on Cairns Hill)
Working VFD on latest boxes (no red recording icon on latest VFD though)
Oscam (edit your details to the oscam.server file and restart oscam in Alternative SoftCam Manager plugin)
Autobouquets (set to London HD, older version not from repo that adds correct channel numbers in bouquets, 401 SS1 etc)
Rats picon updater (original is not working with this image, I've script modified to suit the location in this image)
Picons (Rats picons for satellite and ones for Irish terrestrial)
Hddmountmanager (external is mounted in /hdd, enable swapfile on first boot)
CrossEPG (daily 7AM)
CoolTVGuide (opens on EPG)
Autotimers
Samba server
Webinterface
Virtual Zap (set to exit button)
Cache flush (set to 15mins)

Not included:
1Channel, TSMedia, RTE player etc (I don't usually add them as they do not stay working for long before needing updates)

Notes:
A/V is set to 1080p 60hz
Audio is set to AC3 downmix
Streaming and recording two $ channels working
Be sure to create a 256MB swapfile in hddmount manager plugin on first boot (You'll get a green screen on cold boot, but the box boots fine after it restarts)
FTP User: root, pass: blank (to set a pass telnet in and run "passwd root" and it will ask for a pass)
Oscam port: 8888 user: root, pass: oscam

To update the image telnet in and run "./Update_E2.sh"

Credit goes to martinxp on the linuxsat-support forum, if you make this image better please share

Enjoy

Good work .

I'm curious as to why the swap file is so big ,seems massive .
I wish these receivers had more memory ,a swap file isnt ideal.

You could probably get away with much less but having a 500GB drive attached I just went with 256MB

Hi I am new to all of this so sorry if this sound stupid. I had an Enigma2 image on my AA2 box. I tried to change to this image by doing an Enigme2 upgeade from Spark. However when I try to boot in Enigma2 now it stays stuck on Boot and nothing appears on the screen. I have FTP into the box and I cant see any Enigma2 folder under etc\. Anybody have any idea on how to this?

Does it matter what the folder structure is? Does the "backup_of_e2" folder need to be at the root of my usb?

Yes and if you rename it you need to preserve the linux file name ie no spaces

Cheers, got it working now by changing the folder structure. Thanks.
One other thing, when flashing to a new image do you need to update the plugins to suit the new image? Or are they stored within the backup?

Hi all

Here's a link to my Champions Dec 2013 AR-P based Image - for the Amiko Alien2 and other ST7162 Based Boxes.

This image is working with the following plugins:-
AutoTimer, AutoVolumeAdjustment, AutoBoquets 20131020 (works in about 60 secs), CacheFlush, CrossEPG, CoolTVGuide v6.4.0, 1channel, IPTV Updater v1.1, Various Skins, all Picons, Rats Picons, OSCam (blank with sample line), SDA1 mounted as HDD, TSMedia v3.3, PermanentTimeShift, OpenWebIf and Streaming / Recording of $ Channels while watching another $ channel. Sorry but I just could not get SambaServer to work You can obviously install any other plugins you choose. Just FTP the .ipk files to the /TMP folder, telnet to the box and type IPKG INSTALL xxxxxxx.ipk. This should work for most plugins.

The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for using HDMI at 720p

FTP and Telnet - Username "root", Password Blank
OSCam - http://box_ip:8888 - Username "root", Password "oscam"
OpenWebIf - http://box_ip:50080 - change it in Plugins > OpenWebIf

Here's the link but Download the FOLDER, not the files
https://app.box.com/s/c7495z9bg2px5x32hxxe
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m2dszrskdyh4pah/AiGshUnOZa

Included in the download folder is plugin_e2upgrade.s This is a SPARK file and if FTP'd to /root/plugin/var/bin/ when in Spark, it will allow you to take Backups of E2 images too rather than just allowing for Upgrading / Overwriting of the current E2 Image. I believe the Spark default Username and Password is root / root

Please use the main thread for asking any questions or seeking assistance.


Don't forget to click the Thanks button below

Vfd fix applied so newer boxes have a working display panel.

Use the Download menu in Plugins or just FTP the .ipk files to the /TMP folder, telnet to the box and type IPKG INSTALL xxxxxxx.ipk. This should work for most plugins. CoolTVGuide is linked to the EPG button

The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for using HDMI at 720p. Terrestrial channels may need to be rescanned depending on your geographical location.

FTP and Telnet - Username "root", Password "pkteam"
OSCam - http://box_ip:8888 - Username "root", Password "oscam"
OpenWebIf - http://box_ip (Default Port 80)
DreamBoxEdit paths - /etc/enigma2/
