I could not get the EPG button to remember it was using CoolTVGuide

So that will make it remember it for you, we'll put a proper fix in the next AR-P build, as well we'll have to find out the reason of that initial change

Hi there - can I ask you how you installed Pli HD skin on AR-P image? I downloaded the ipk from here http://openpli.org/forums/topic/23150-pli-hd-m-mod-20/page-4, but it will not install for me... thanks

Could I ask you stop complaining that something does not work for you, instead try to describe the problem, give us the error message, steps taken, image type hdmu/ar-p etc and so on, nobody has a crystal ball here to see why things do not work for you.

You are developing AR P?

Don't even have a box, just curious.

not sure if this was aimed at my last post, but if so apologies I didn't mean to come across as complaining - I did specify that I am on ARP, and I downloaded the PLi HD skin ipk from the link above, then ftp'd into the tmp folder, chmod the file to 755, and tried to install it using the Media Scanner plugin. However when I try that, it says "done - installed, upgraded or removed 0 packages (with 0 errors)"

Not sure what I am doing wrong, any help much appreciated

Thanks

There are many ways

try at least to build the firmware from the repository an try to install it on a receiver, get familiar with the code and so on, it is all about your curiosity and initiative

get involved on forums, let say pli ones and it'll start rolling

You have to select the file to install. You should get a green tick beside it.

That was in general, as I'm trying to follow the thread and try help when I can and I have time, as well I use it for AR-P team feedback.

Yes I did that as well - sorry forgot to say it in my last post. Also the full name of the file I am using is enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd-m-mod_3.0d_mips32el.ipk, not sure of that might be the wrong one as there was a few on the thread linked to in an earlier post (http://openpli.org/forums/topic/23150-pli-hd-m-mod-20/page-4)

Cheers

7-zip extract the ipk and then 7-zip extract the data.tar file and you'll get familiar folders which you can then ftp to your box

Kenny Powers · 17-04-2013 07:47AM

Is anyone using the golden media triplex from sat-planet? Will pogs guide and the same images work etc.

Thanks

PogMoThoin · 17-04-2013 08:09AM

Yes, it's the same box. Get the latest HDMU image though

Thanks for that, just saved me a few Bob.

Cool TV Guide 6.4

In the s/ware downloads this software is there. In the zip file there are 2 folders, Plugins and Components.
Do I just put (ftp) the CoolTVGuide folder (buried in the Plugins folder) into Extensions on my box.
Where does the Components folder go?

Thx

Dublin Deluge · 17-04-2013 09:51AM

I'm on the latest version of HDMU. I have a collection of MP4 videos and they play alright on the box. However, when I pause most of the time the box stops responding. The circle indicating that the box is busy appears on the upper left corner and never goes away. The box doesn't react no matter what button you press on the box. The only way to get the box back is by turning it off and on with the switch at the back. It doesn't always happen, but happens most of the time. I have no problems pausing any recording I've made (files with .ts extension), the video is paused and when I press play or pause again, the video resumes smoothly. I've only seen this issue with MP4 videos so far.

Is it a known issue that MP4 videos are not very well supported? Could I convert those MP4 videos into .ts? Any other workarounds?

Alternatively just make that ipk available to me (dropbox?), as I'm too lazy registering on pli forums, so I'll make a sh4 version of that ipk.

as a bonus I created the latest from git build of the PLiHD image.

Thank you. It seems to have installed fine this time, I can't reboot yet as I have a recording in progress!

FlexMcMurphy · 18-04-2013 12:24AM

Hello

I've read through loads of posts on here about Linux boxes and Spark and Enigma Images. There seem to be a lot of helpful people on this forum which is great but I am clueless about Linux satellite boxes and some of the posts on here read like a daunting cryptic language. I don't have a Sky subscription... the Amiko Alien 2 Triple Tuner interests me because I'd like to combine the Saorview channels with the free to air Satellite channels from just 28.2° East so I can watch one and record another in any combination... Satellite/Satellite or Saorview/Satellite.

My Question:
Is there a stable Spark and/or Enigma "Image" that can configure an Amiko Alien 2 Triple Tuner box in a reliable way to combine Saorview Channels with the free Astra Satellite channels? If so then which would be better: Spark or Enigma and where could I get it? Stability and reliability are the most important to me.

Thanks alot!

Flex

Hi Flex

I was new to this 2 months ago and have learnt so much thanks to the guys on this forum, and my goal was exactly the same as yours, a simple and stable system, no oscam/cards, but with good local streaming support (i.e. watch live tv on iphone/android from anywhere in the house while someone else is using the box, aka "wireless multiroom"). My experience is that the AR-P image is the most stable, I am using it on a Golden Media Triplex box which is the same as the Alien 2 just branded differently and cheaper (not a clone though, it's made in the same factory). I am hoping to back it up soon and publish it here. The last thing I need is the Pli HD skin and Autotimer (aka series link), can't get it to work yet so as soon as I do I will publish the image

This time when I installed your ipk file through media scanner it said "Done - installed, upgraded or removed 1 package (with 0 errors)"

I thought this was a god sign, but the skin is not available in the skin menu, even after rebooting

Not to worry, I can research it a bit more, not sure what is going on.

Thanks again

Thanks man ordering one of these today, look forward to trying your image fair play.

T0MMY · 18-04-2013 09:51AM

My box wakes up (even from deep standby) to do a timed recording, but it doesn't switch off afterwards. Is that normal? Is there a way to get it to turn off?

Thanks
