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.

My cool TV guide was needing an update as I couldnt access my EPG, it was directing me to a website but it doesnt exist any longer. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin and it started letting me back into my epg, i reinstalled crossepg downloader also but now its not populating my epg correctly and when i click on the crossepg downloader plugin directly I get an error "Cannot open crossepg database" and then crashes with the green screen When i go to system and crossepd -> configuration it doesnt bring up my usb stick, just HDD (even though i dont have a hard disk attached), i know from looking at this previous it usually shows the name of the stick. Any Idea how to change access to the USB stick when its not in configure. The stick is mounted and I can record to it no problems Is there an alternative to coolTv as i believe there is no development on this now Also where do I get the rte player plugin as it also keeps crashing my box, worked fine ages ago so may need an update Hope somebody can help

In CrossEPG configuration you select the path by putting the cursor over it and pressing left/right arrows. It should cycle between HDD, USB and Flash memory. You may need to turn automount on to make your USB visible. When HDD shows without a disk attached it is usually mounted to the flash memory, not good. Try deleting the mounted HDD. reboot. Remount the USB if it doesn't show automatically from a reboot. Read back further here a few weeks (or search) to get the fixed version of RTEPlayer and how to pop it in.
wellboss wrote: » I have done that and it's now linked to the USB as previous and now it opens the downloader at the bottom of the screen, says starting downloader for about 20 sec, then saving data and converting data. Great i thought but then there is no data in my EPG fields Any idea what could be causing it not to load?

wellboss wrote: » Yup I have it enabled and even tried downloading direct from "Open Tv Providers" and when i go to "Info about database" it has channel count 0 and no info in it No idea what I am missing. Saving path to my usb is set up in config menu, I think my sources are correct but it appears not to be downloading anything. The downloader is done very quickly when I try to get info Also got the RTE sorted, cheers

deezell wrote: » Here's a really odd one. While watching terrestrial rte2 hd rugby yesterday, I flicked on a stream on the phone to keep an eye on the Leicester city match, as you do. The RTE image on tv froze, followed by tune failed message. A quick press of the info button showed signal strength had dropped to 36% from 62% which I know is marginal enough to begin with. Cutting the stream restored the TV and signal strength. It's like the terrestrial tuner lose its mojo when I invoke a sat tuner. No issues when watching and streaming 2 sat channels. I could also watch/ stream rte2 simultaneously no problem. It explains why I've lost some terrestrial recordings half way through as I probably streamed a sat channel while the recording was in progress. Can anyone check their info on live viewing rte2 hd terrestrial while streaming a different channel and see if signal level drops?

flashinthepan wrote: » yep 62% is not great for RTE Also by any chance were you using mobile data on your phone to stream or were you on your wifi as could it be poss 4g interference from the phone
deezell wrote: » After that it can be an issue with feed to the second tuner. Cross uses the 2nd tuner if it's configured to tune in epg TP. If you have only one feed or a faulty feed it can't tune the TP for the data. If you have two cables check your cables individually in tuner one then 2 to see if they are both working. If you have only one make sure tuner c is disabled.

Checked under setup/system/user interface and everything looks fine(I compared all options here to my other E2 box and everything matches up, timeshift works on the other box). Anywhere else where Permanent timeshift needs to be enabled? Drives are mounted ok as I often record on the box.
Tuesday13 wrote: » Any ideas here folks as to where I can verify permanent timeshift is enabled? Doesn't seem to kick in at all or when I changed channel. Does anyone know where the permanent timeshift files are stored actually? I can compare to my other box.

RTE player does not work on it and zap history browser doesn't seem to be compatible either. I had an issue with the front display stuck on boot after I installed the vfd fix but that seems to be resolved now. I'm not really seeing any performance improvement over 4.5 so far and Hyperion havent even included basic things like the service named picon renderer fix or amixer audio boost .I had to add alot of these fixes in manually. Id hold off on upgrading to 5.5 until I can overcome a few issues with it.
