    Is anyone who streams from the box having any issues? Trying to narrow down if its a box issue or broadband issue.

    Cant get into it using openwebif.

    Also was streaming to a firestick using dreamplayer premium but it stopped working and now isn't seeing the ip address of the box. Updated the ip address and no change.

    On the network test box is connected to Internet.

    On openvix 6.8.003 with simple 1080.

    Try restarting box and router as it might clear any stored bugs.

    TThanks had already tried both but no joy so far.

    Can anyone tell me the simplest way to add tv series to the 1TB drive on the box? Ideally Id like to have it appear as a folder on my Windows laptop that I could just drag stuff to and sync automatically like I did on my modded Xbox360 back in the day, is that even possible?

    You mean like this ? Its my movies folder on one of my boxes , I can drag and drop to it.

    Its just a case of going into network settings and enabling the network. Please note that these days you cannot enable the network shares unless you have set up a root password. You wont get a message to that effect , it just wont work. So if you haven't already , setup a root password.

    Also note: its format is .ts or transport stream , I personally have no idea what other formats if any play from this folder , others I'm sure are more knowledgeable in this area.

    But I can drag and drop .ts files to this folder and they work just fine.

    Ah excellent thanks for that thought there would be way more to it with Samba and Filezilla and all that stuff.

    cathy47, you have a tricky one and its possible the firestick has updated and does not like dreamplayer but I know the h7s can be a bugger within a network. You might have updated the 7S to new version etc.

    What you have to do is make sure 7s is connecting to internet so I would check network settings do a test then go to plugins and see if they download. That proves network. Now remove lan cable from 7S and re-connect check network, are you using dhcp or static, you may have to go back to dhcp. Also you may have to delete 7s from router, and power off 7s at rear and re boot router. Its a pain but if you can see what fixes it, make a note for next time.

    You could also try chnaging the dns on 7s to google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 green etc. I use these on the 7s.

    I just tried it on a 4kmax stick and very smooth.

    You are an absolute star as always.

    So I had tried yesterday restarting the box and restarting the broadband and no joy.

    I was just starting to methodically work through your list when the electricity went (strong wind here). It was gone for about 40mins. I plugged out the box and the broadband and we had a large glass of wine each by candle light!

    Plugged everything back in after power came back and its working again!!

    So its either the power of Tuesday night wine or I didn't leave them turned off long enough when doing the restarts the first time.

    Thanks again for all the detail - the h7s not liking networks might be another little push for me to get a vu+ eventually.

    I'm looking for some advice.

    I recently bought a new TCL television. I'm delighted with the picture quality but disappointed to see it has the same problem as my old LG of having a separate EPG for the antenna channels. I was also surprised to see it doesn't support live pause or recording. I'm thinking of getting a Zgemma box to compliment it.

    I have a zgemma h9s with a memory stick in the kitchen which does a great job but I see it has now been replaced by the H11s. The h7s is still available.

    Should I buy a H11s or a H7s?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,289 ✭✭✭greasepalm


    Surprised the H7S was still for sale and SATWORLD have one for sale with internal with 500gb HDD

    Newer models had a slot in for HDD or SSD ?

    CORRECTION: the box I currently have in the kitchen is a ZGEMMA H9.2H combo. It looks like a H11s is satellite only.

    Is the H7 very old tech at this point?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,289 ✭✭✭greasepalm


    Not sure how many 3 tuner boxes are left for sale.

    Hi All

    How can I get my Zgemma H7 remote to control my TV volume? All HDMI-CEC settings are enabled on the box and on my Philips TV. I also have a 4K player looped through a Sony Quad amp sound system in order to get proper Dolby Atmos using the TVs Earc hdmi port. So the normal hdmi on the TV is going straight to the Zgemma box.

    Now, point to note I have in the past had the box looped through the Sony Quad box and all volume and other control functions work perfectly. But as I said in order to get Dolby Atmos from my player I had to swap back to the Earc port. Is there something I can do to get the best of both worlds?

    Tia

    Update

    I rebooted the box today and all remotes are working with TV and box. Weird!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,289 ✭✭✭greasepalm


    Sometimes even a restart or box off and on fixes any bugs stored as my H7S remote stopped working and after it worked again.
