Tried your image yesterday while the wife was out
it worked a treat had a little mess around and I think it looks very nice
Did not notice anything unusual & did not have any issues installing
I did at one point think the RTE stations looked a little darker than the rest but more than likley need to go to specsavers :-)
Thanks for posting
I have put back on my backup of hyper 4
And the plan is to put open atv back on and configure it same as hyper 4 while ( She who must be obeyed) is not here
Then when Im happy that its set up the same I will convince her the openATV is better
Cheers

Dreamboxedit is very handy
in settings put in your box IP address and root password
Do a backup
edit the backup in the right hand screen just drag the channels to where you want them and right click and remove the ones you dont
save and do a fast upload which reloads the channell list

In my box I have just 1 boquet wit all my channels in it I dont tend to use autoboquets as it changes around my channels


Regarding the issue your having with cross epg
Make sure in the config screen of crossepg that it it set to save to the hard disk not internal memory

thunda

So i can make my own boquets with this and have like a sports,entertainment,kids,movies etc.

the open atv one you linked to I didnt have much luck with yesterday but i'll try again.

I have a good working backup of hyperion 4 that i restored yesterday if you want a copy
And yes you can create your own boquets whatever way you like
I have just 1 boquet with around 50 stations RTE and sat and never had any issues

thunda

That would be great to try that . I'm in scotland will i need to re-scan or do anything with change of area .

I would think the sat will be the same but the terrestial tuner will most likley be slightly different as mine is setup for RTE
Im sure you could look at the tuner config in your current image if your getting the freeview channels see take a note of the settings ( I think its freeview you call the terrestial service ) but once its scanned you can move the channels around to where you like
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ebehev1zqu9we2p/Backup%20hyper%204%2027-07-14.rar?dl=0
unzip and put just the e2jffs2.img and ulmage on a blank usb key into the front of your receiver
reboot into spark and run the plugin

thunda

Thanks I'll try that I've not got an airiel so don't use the terrestial if that's what that means.

How do you do back up in dreambox I couldn't see that option ?

Yep if you have no aerial then no need to worry about the terrestial
setup your IP address of the box and root password
In dreambox edit click on file and then fast ftp download to backup

Every Image that I install and run AB there is always 2 or 3 channels with no picture/signal So I then do a full channel scan and all is good but the channel list is all messed up on EPG so I then run AB for my area and then run CrossEPG which works but then the 2 or 3 channel's are back to having no picture .

So i have channels without a picture/signal so I do full scan, Do I do a full scan on both tuners and what should the setting be?

After I do a full scan what's the next step so that I get all the channels back in order without losing any again?

What are the 3 channels that are giving you trouble? Using dreamboxedit to fix 3 channels is a bit over the top.

Just run autobouquets for your scottish region. Then find the 3 channels from the full scan you done already. (Press up arrow, Press green, This gives you full channel list, select your 3 channels from here and add to your favourites bouquet.) Job done!

Where is the challange in that:D no fun at all

thunda

Ok thanks for all the help I'm going to try openatv again try the channel add instructins from givecredit just for future proof when i use other images. I'll look into dreambox another time once I get my channels working.

The signals look really low on my channels! Some dont even have a signal next to them so hope it's nothing to do with my Dish. Anyway I'm going to install OpenATV and try again been at this for a week lol.

I'm running champions OpenATV image and for some reason my remote control has stopped working. Every button press gives the warning symbol on the screen. It seems to have happened after I connected remotely with WebIf. Is this normal?

Back to my frequently crashing enigma box... the only thing I may have different to others is that my hard drive has been initialised on a separate Linux box. I wonder if this could be an issue?

I'm sure some of the default settings are different like the block size. I'm debating whether it's worth my while trying to shuffle data around to let enigma format a disk. Could some do that tune2fs -l command on their box?

Also, I see that spark can read an ext2/3 disk, is that ok? or should I set it to NTFS?

Kevin!

I've set my box up to work outside my local network, changed OpenWebIf default port and have it up and running on external IP.

Is there any measures I can take to secure the box at this stage?

cheers

I don't know for sure if this is the way to do it, but there is an android app called VU+ player which i use and it works fine. There is an app called VU+ player in itunes, it sounds like it does the same job.

BopperSnr

or you may be talking about airplayer app. although I havent tried it so cant say if it works well or not for streaming your iOS device to the screen via your enigma box.

lsjmhar

Hi

I have seen the airplayer app at my inlaws house using apple TV. I saw a German video but could not understand it in relation to openatv 4.2. The person may have been using airplayer.

I know you can link in through HDMI and airplayer but thought there may have been another method.

hallo dare

It can be done in spark

Could anyone help me on how to connect my wifi on the recent openatv image? It finds the router ok but I can't fathom how to put in password etc?

My hd has stopped working in open atv 4.2. Tried to mount again but the image won't let me. Is it a case of reflashing?

Is there any alternative to CROSSEPG? on every image I tried this will not load after a reboot and it brings the box to a halt, Without it the box fly's along no issues at all.

CrossEPG needs to be saving to USB, not internal flash

It is saving to the USB I checked all settings and the epg.dat and all folders are on the HD

You sure if that, what you describe is exactly what happens when you save to internal flash, it even makes the box lock up and freeze and the epg doesn't survive a reboot. Delete the files and see does it make them again.

For enigma2 images you could try Rats Bouquets.

I installed rats_bouquets_latest.ipk by using 7-Zip to unpack it until I got the /usr directory then just dragged and dropped that into the root of the enigma2 installation in FileZilla. Then rebooted and went into its entry in the Plugin Menu.
