Amiko Alien2 / SAB / GM / ST7162 ENIGMA Discussion Thread

championc

This thread is for discussion of the ENIGMA operating system on ST7162 Based Satellite & Terrestrial Combo Receivers

The boxes covered would be the
Amiko Alien2
SAB Unix Tripple
GM Triplex

Enigma is a Linux based alternative to the default Spark operating system on these boxes. Enigma is a more customisable OS and provides the ability to add plugins which can accomplish many tasks enabling users to have a box which might look and perform like a Sky box, giving a 7 day EPG and an alternative to series link

A detailed FAQ type post with most installation instructions is below in Post 2

Is anyone having trouble getting satellites.xml from http://satellites-xml.eu ?

The website seems to have changed and I don't see any transponders/satellites listed in the 'Range' tab drop-down.
Anyone happen to have a link to a recent one for 28.2E

you could try this one instead
http://satellites-xml.org/
Go into custom and pick the sat you want

I need to re-install the Timeshift Plugin. What is the best option here(running FreshPots 4.5 image):

a) Go ahead and install whats available via the onscreen plugins menu(presumably the most recent plugin)
b) Manually download and install via fileZilla a previous more 'stable'/compatible version?

Haven't used TimeShift in months but planning to re-install now.

I thought timeshift was part of the image and not a separate plugin
If what your talking about is permanent timeshift (for rewinding )
you would enable it in
setup/system /user interface

It is part of the image on hyper 4.5 that I have and don't remember installing it separate

I want to update my Dad's Alien2 box and want to give this image a try. Is there a guide on how to flash the receiver with this image?

Thanks to champ there is a detailed guide in this thread but way back at the beginning
post #2
if your already using enigma just go from point number 2

Dudz

Just a FYI. Here is the process, I generally go thru, setting up a new image. If want to start from scratch.

FLASH ENIGMA
UPDATE via BLUE PANNEL
DELETE EXTRA SATS
UPLOAD CHANNELS via DREAMBOX
UPLOAD UPDATED satellite.xml
PLUGIN DOWNLOAD COOLGUIDE
-BACKUP

PERSONAL CONFIGURATION
ASSIGN MOUNTS HDD and USB
RECORD PATHS
EPG PATH
-BACKUP

PLUGIN AUTOTOMER usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions
SPINNER FTP
SKIN FTP
BOOTLOGO
CORRECT SWAP PATH
CORRECT PICON PATH
CORRECT EPG PATH
-BACKUP

Having trouble with assigning SWAP, EPG and PICONS to the FlashDrive. Must the FlashDrive be format ext3 for Swap File?
Must I use CrossEPG plugin to assign EPG location?

Dudz

I completed a Backup of Enigma,
While in FTP, I confirmed the was no AUTOTIMER listed in usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions.
FTP'd deezell's AUTOTIMER to PLUGIN AUTOTIMER usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions.
Rebooted and voila, appears in Plugins, responds in COOLTV.

Timers we set for all the upcommig "Punch and Judy's"

Success
Thanks Again for the help.

Why doesn't someone give OpenATV 6.0 a go ? Bundled with a graphical epg and autotimer and most other normal stuff.

Gave it a go 2 weeks back on 2 different boxes. I have openATV on another box running 5.3 and really love it but 6 is a beta and shows it. On the VU+ it was okish but still had enough bugs to be unsuitable as a daily runner. On the AA2 it was totally unstable crashing/ hanging at least twice a day.

That's was Zardoz dropbox image link. He mUstinov have deleted it. Perhaps he'll post another. If I get a minute I'll go into Spark and save a flash image.

Folks. Would anybody have a copy of the Hyperion V4 Image that I could download? I have been using it for the last 2 years with virtually no issues but the other day my box started playing up. I went to reflash the box but I couldnt find the usb stick I had the image on and stupid me forgot to do a backup image.

I have been searching her for a copy of it but the links I have found are no longer valid.

Thanks

Dudz, There is another inexpensive option for HEVC (H.265) Ultra HD satellite reception and playback. The new Edision OS Mini+ is derived from the really good OS mini, but it has H.265 reception and playback. It's twin tuner, sat and terrestrial only at the moment, but you could possibly add a USB sat tuner for watch/record different sat channels. The price is rock bottom, €119 delivered from freetv.ie with the discount code 'Boards'

OK I stand corrected. It must have been another image I was trying. That's what happens when you play with these damn things too often

PKT 5.5 and AUTOTIMER

AUTOTIMER not listed in INSTALLED PLUGINS or DOWNLOAD PLUGINS.

COOLGUIDE let me configure a colored button for AUTOTIMER.
when in COOLGUIDE, press colored button, ERROR AUTOTIMER not found.

Therefore install AUTOTIMER. will try to get to this in next 24 hours.

Will post results.

Probably explains why it's not a seperate plugin if it's embedded in 5.5. Makes sense to have it part of the system timer, which also is linked to Cool epg on 4.5.

If it's already installed it wont show up in the list of downloadable plugins

I'm open to correction on this as I've tried so many different images recently. I seem to remember in 5.5 that autotimer is already installed but not configured to show in plugins menu. I went in to cool guide to set a timer and accidentally got the autotimer setup screen (long green press in coolguide I think). In the autotimer config you set it to show up in plugin menu.

deezell, thanks for the link.
I have never understood what/how to use the github.
I usually FTP the files to the correct directories of enigma.

I notice autotimer is not in the plugins/ extensions folder in the 5.5 image. Here's a link to the folder from 4.5, it has all the python files. You could try ftp this to usr/lib/enigma2/ python/plugins/ extensions and reboot, see does it appear in plugins.

I will confirm this, when I have time.
There is a previous post on this subject, with a link.
For your reference the Amiko Alien2 is the same as the Golden Media ST7162

Seems like a solid build. Low Memory Usage.
Can not play HEVC x265, hardware limitations?

I can not find the latest version of AUTOTIMER. Not in the PLUGINS area, not in any of the published drop boxes, or easily found on the web. Can anyone help a bro out?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to the HEVC files playing on the A2 but out of interest, what 5.5 build did you install? Did you get one from here or from http://pkteam.pl/ and if so, do you have a link to it. Thanks.
