Amiko Alien2 - Enigma2 Firmware Thread

championc

Useful bits and pieces of info for Enigma2

The Spark Image on these boxes have limitations and so, a proper Linux Based firmware seems to provide more possibilities and it could be said, has been supported better than Spark.

Some reasons for considering Enigma
The Spark code is being updated now and again with features being added gradually.

Satellite 7 day EPG
Recording by programme name
Recording from both Terrestrial and Sat simultaneously
FF and Rew working without freezing
Resume playback from last point watched
Series Link (sort of - using an Auto Timer plugin) - See below
Streaming of TV channels to both PC's, laptops, phones
Program the Timer when out and about with an Android Phone App

And then there's CCCam / C-Line compatibility !!!

Full Setup Guide in Post #2

Some useful website Links

http://www.satstation.co.uk/forum/f268-amiko-alien-2-enigma-2/
http://linuxsat-support.com/amiko-alien-2-images-e2-spark/

CoolTVGuide
Allows for a combined Terrestrial and Satellite EPG

AutoTimer Plugin
Allows the box to search the EPG, both Terrestrial and Satellite, for a programme name, within any timespan, and automatically add it to the Timer for recording.

Just installed your updated new image, what's the username and password for 8888. Thanks

It'll be in the oscam.cfg, it's usually root/oscam but you can change it by editing the file

Yeah , itried those ip changes but still no joy, i'll download your updated image later and try that instead.

Did you have a look at the movie channels? Volume is really loud and cannot be turned down. Every other channel is grand for volume except movies. When you get a sec just throw your eye on them and see if it's the same for you.

Thanks

Working perfect for me. PM me a copy of the text from oscam.conf and I'll see if I spot anything. The sound problem is a new one on me, usually the hd channels aren't as loud. I'll have a look tonight when I get home.

Absolute quality mate. Extremely clean image. One thing, when i try to access the box via pc by entering my ip followed by :8888 i get a message saying "403 forbidden". Any ideas? Thanks

My fault, the allowed ip range wasn't wide enough, if your handy with filezilla go to /var/keys and edit oscam.conf. Change the allowed ip address range to 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255. Otherwise redownload the image as I've updated it now.

Went back and started from scratch and found out why rte player had stopped working. It was down to a file used in the newer version of tsmedia. I set back up my image with the tsmedia 4.4 and all works fine.

Only other changes in this image are an updated version of the sky skin and a sky spinner.

Hi there,

Do all plugins go in the folder above?

I have a sportmax plugin that I want to add manually.

Others with more knowledge might reply with better information, but as far as I know, it depends on the plugin. Some plugins require components place in the etc folder and others. All depends. If you breakdown the plugin, you may see what directories it is intended for.
But as I said other folk will maybe point you in the right direction

I've sorted it, sorry i thought i posted the solution.

Hold blue until the screen comes up, then there's something like ca1 to ca0 (something like that) just have it that the line reads with disabled in it. Then it works perfectly.

Thanks, I'll try tech guy's version again with this, I read something about this before but interpreted it as something that couldn't be fixed.

There was an issue several months/images back where crossepg only saw the HDD sometimes. The solution was to edit the crossepg.config file found in var/crosspeg folder.
Change the HDD line to
db_root=/media/hdd/crossepg
then make the file read only. Cumbersome but worth a shot at this stage. Otherwise consider another image.

Had checked that too & all was as you listed, I searched through my junk box & found an old 4gig kingston stick & the box loves it, crossEPG too

thanks for all the suggestions folks

I tried restarting the box but nothing changed, do you mean actually power off/on at rear?

Yep ,

Power off switch at the rear ,

It may not be compatible with the box , I know Spark boxes are supposed to be very picky although all my sticks have worked on it ,

Boot into Spark and see if you can read/write anything to/from it , that should tell you if its working with the box .

I had the same issue and asked in the other forum about it ,

Was told to plug in the stick /hd , power off and on the box and she was grand .

I know if you try to load the EPG onto the box with out an USB Stick / HD present, it can corrupt the box memory , and you need to re flash the E2 image

Im speaking from experience on that one

Yeah, I used the same stick in the dreambox for epg data, anyway I finally managed to get the SAB to recognize/initialize the USB stick but CrossEPG doesn't see it now, I'm a tenacious bastard so it wont beat me, :mad:

Box has 3 pages of plugins but no HDD manager! I installed one but still not seeing USB stick.
@Gerry Wicklow
I'm familiar with CrossEpg setup but it's not seeing stick either.
Stick works on my laptop fine

I've used lots of images with the dm800 over the yrs but never seen one that didn't have an embedded device manager

Crossepg is normally listed as a separate item in setup menu. You should be able to configure it from there.

Happy New Year to you all

Here's a link to my Champions 22Dec2013 AR-P based Image - for the Amiko Alien2 and other ST7162 Based Boxes.

This image is HD Judder Fixed and is working with the following plugins:-
AutoTimer, AutoVolumeAdjustment, AutoBoquets 20131020 (works in about 60 secs), CrossEPG, CoolTVGuide v6.4.0, Various Skins, all Picons, Rats Picons, OSCam v9127 (with blank sample Reader cline), SDA1 already mounted as HDD, PermanentTimeShift (Turned Off), OpenWebIf AND WebInterface (Take your Pick), Samba Server, Streaming / Recording of $ Channels while watching another $ channel. You can obviously install any other plugins you choose. Use the Download menu in Plugins or just FTP the .ipk files to the /TMP folder, telnet to the box and type IPKG INSTALL xxxxxxx.ipk. This should work for most plugins. CoolTVGuide is linked to the EPG button.

Added also is an SD Streaming Bouquet in addition to the standard bouquets created by AutoBouquets.

With HDMI-CEC (already activated), you can control the box from your TV Remote.

The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for using HDMI at 720p. Terrestrial is scanned to Irish Saorview - Three Rock Transmitter

FTP and Telnet - Username "root", Password Blank
OSCam - http://box_ip:8888 - Username "root", Password "oscam"
WebInterface - http://box_ip (Default Port 80) - change it in Plugins and turn On OpenWebIf if you prefer it to WebInterface (or use both but make sure the port numbers are not the same)

Anyone get the record one watch a different channel working on thetechguysimage? I cannot get it to work like other images.

MarkR

I'm picking up one of these boxes this afternoon, the twin tuner one. What is the recommended update path from Spark to Jan 2014 Hyperion V3 Image from thetechguy above?

Is it just to follow post 2, then from within enigma install a new image?

I've a gigablue at home with openvix, but I wasn't quite sure about this.

Thanks
