I’d like a copy too, if possible. Is there any chance you could point me in the direction of some instructions for creating my own version. I use CrossEPG, to support the non-Freeview Channels, with all custom Bouquets.

I dont think it would be too difficult to customize it to your own needs once you put the channels into the custom mix file .Should be a doddle for you after all your fine work on this thread .

Sorry , It puts the Irish and UK channels together on your epg , I update everyday and the epg will not get over written . Sorry but I`m not really explaining it very well .I will throw up a screenshot later on .

Thanks for the link, I’ll try it tomorrow, when I’m on a laptop.

Quick question, if I recreate my custom Bouquets using ABM with custom mixes, will ABM then take care of frequency changes?

Thanks in advance...

It will.

Thanks, I've looked at your files - I'll have a go, when I get a chance.

You need to check out the other thread with Claremans image

https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057925678/1/#post108528885

How are you finding the box now? Getting to grips with it?

Oh balls... I should have listened to myself.. I flashed the Claremans image and the Opentv 6.2 and wonderful inparts I have lost some of the most desirebale parts of the whole setup I had.. lost saorview... Lost favourites and now looking at hours to get back to where I was... you cannot even easily program the unit now and it need s PIN , there is an enforced time delay, and the remotes are completely reconfigured.... i feel a tiny bit sick............ nope I feel Really REALLY sick.....

Just on the movie database... each movie I have is in its own folder with its subs or whatever... is that the right format as the info is not populating.. !

Let that be a lesson, never, ever do anything without doing a backup first. You'll learn :-)

Dreamboxedit is a great software for editing and backing up your bouquets. Can flash a new image and after upload your own custom channel list

I have back up, in fact I have about 10 of them.......... aghhhhhhhhhh
!!

They can be a life saver. I've been there before. I'm at the stage where I don't even trust a backup so I do many regularly

It will no load any of the backups it is stuck in s loop of open arc 6,2. And seems stuck. I tired a couple of backups and s reset to factory defaults before it got stuck.

Is there a kick in the arse backup I can download to get it back to stability ?

Where are the backups? On the internal HDD? Did you unplug usb while flashing

If the backups were made by the blue menu you'll be able to restore from there in software not on boot up

Yes. Removed all usbs and it still only boots into opentv 6.2 screen and is stuck in a loop. I had also backed up to three different usbs ( I’m paranoid ) and follow the insert restart procedure and the are exactly the same. The backup I made were on different days.

Still stuck in boot loop.

Hi Eddie,

Sorry you’re having trouble.

My image is heavily customized, and locked down, as stated in the start of the thread. That is why I started a thread, just for it, in the first place.

There is a post on scanning Saorview,which should bring all that side back. The pin (0000) can be disabled under parental control.

Each movie in its own folder is fine. It can take a good while, as in mannyyy minutes, to populate the mo is database.

Flash my image, get into the the software, blue button where you made the backup should be another option to restore. I'm sorry I'm not in front of it now somebody else may guide you better

THanks - Finally got your image back up and running.. backed up -updated the plugins backed up,, BUT the new plugins are NOT loading... is goes through upgrading 86 updates but then no new plugins appear, I manually try to add them and they seem to be loading BUT still do not appear ( New e2 Iptv and Mediainfo plugin ) ?

Any ideas as I REALLY liked the IPTV.....

Eddie

I'm not sure Eddie. I'm still running OpenATV 6.1 and have never updated it. I'm a firm believer that if it's not broke leave it alone. Ever hear the saying fix it till it's broke

E2 IPTV works without updating to 6.2, I think it's called IPTV player in plugins. If you install that it will update itself to E2 IPTV

Rookie mistake.. It was easier than that.... the Lan connection did not re-install..so it was not actually connected to the net.... so I setup lan, all installed as needed and thenI backed up again Thanks

@ The high horse brigade

Bought a second box.
I use your image but have made a few changes to it such as iptv player and dreamplex.

How do I copy my image from box 1 over to box 2 ?

The high horse brigade wrote: »

Press blue and go into software manager and you'll have backup and restore options. Do a complete backup and then restore this backup on the other box

Thanks for that.

Was thinking that was it but didn't want to mess anything up.
