    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭hallo dare


    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.

    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

    Cannot say if this works as I haven't tried it myself, but the original poster knows his stuff, so it may be what you need:

    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.hdmedia-universe.com/board/forum.php
    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.

    How may I update Firmware if my receiver doesnt have rs232 ? Technosat t786 hd . it uses same chipset as Amiko Alien 2 and can work on E2 ..

    You use USB, but none of the files, images and plugins in these Alien 2 threads are of any use to you and I'm not sure where you go as you have a different box


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Shleeh


    thank you .. my box has ethernet input but when i connect the router there's nothing in the software that enables me to access internet , also nothing in the sotfware about lan sharing .. seems the box was made for differrent country .. I' believe if i caninstall the right software this means i can have internet , sharing and other features working .. the box im using has the sti7111 process and its the same processor and conax cam , which is the same process and cam on the below boxes :
    Edision Argus Pingulux HD , FULAN Linux-ST7111, EDISION ARGUS PINGULUX, GoldenMedia 990 CR HD PVR SPARK X,DynavisonSpark
    HD GI S8120E, SAB Unix F+ Solo .

    I hope you or anyone can help in this ..

    You are mistaken, the Alien 2 has the Sti7162 chipset, not the Sti7111. The sti7111 is in older boxes like the single tuner Alien 1. This thread is for firmware for the Sti7162 Alien 2, a different box

    Try asking on http://linuxsat-support.com/, lots of support there for the various boxes you listed above

    You're on your own mate on that one. This thread is for the Amiko Alien2 and other badged versions of the ST7162 boxes. The ST7111 based boxes have a similar procedure to upgrade them from Spark but I don't know if your box even runs Spark. So if it doesn't, then maybe start a new thread for assistance.

    Thank you very much for your backup image. Working perfectly for me. One thing though. The Terrestrial.xml was out of date or empty. I could not do a "complete" DTT scan until I updated this. Luckily I could FTP from one from another receiver I have.

    Here's a copy of Open AR-P i've been using for last 2 weeks I got from another site and did some slight mods. Logins & pwds are root.
    Set to skymod skin. Cooltv v7 stable. TS media works on icefilms but not 1channel. Have a play around it, if u make any improvements, please forward. Saorview on Mount Leinster. Also set up with EMC on play button.

    forgot to fix oscam.conf - overwrite ip addresses on line 24 with 192.168.0.0-192.168.99.99

    I am uploading a folder of some plugins that I use on my Alien 2 here so that people can have them all in one place .

    Just unrar the files and ftp them to your receiver.
    Most plugins go in the usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions folder the rest go in the corresponding folders as mentioned in the rar file.

    The enclosed plugins are :

    1channel (no proxy needed if in Ireland)
    Coolman V7 (with enhanced keymap)
    IPTV Listupdater V1.4
    Cacheflush
    RTE Player (latest version)
    Navibar
    TVDB
    TMDB
    Virtual Zap
    Spinner Selector
    Virtual Zap
    Rats Picons
    Rats Bouquets

    Upgrading the SPARK e2upgrade plugin


    1. Take the plugin folder from the link below and place it on a usb stick.

    2. Boot into Spark

    3. Once booted, insert the usb stick into the front (or rear on Plus boxes) usb. It will ask to install plugins - say Yes

    4. Done !!!

    Do NOT try and be clever and ftp the files yourself - it won't work

    Thx.
    For the benefit of others, this procedure does not work for me on a plus box.
    Need to boot up with the USB in the rear slot and it will work.

    Absolutely brilliant image, upgraded from a glitch ridden one that froze too often for comfort - thanks!

    the one issue I haven't resolved is with streaming, when I use Open Webif it opens the stream in VLC but buffers and then reports an error eventually aswell - is there any further configuration required to get the web streaming going? (it was working on the previous image)

    the url it generates when attempting to view a channel: http://192.168.1.2:8001/1:0:19:2588:7FB:2:11A0000:0:0:0::RTE TWO HD

    So is anyone running a stable Hyperion v4 image yet? Looking forward to trying it out...

    Here's my image based on the 24/3 compile of GIT version of duckbox OpenPli by martinxp http://bit.ly/1grGI02


    What I have confirmed as installed and working:
    Working for Irish terrestrial on T+ tuner (works set to Italy, do a full scan if you're not on Cairns Hill)
    Working VFD on latest boxes (no red recording icon on latest VFD though)
    Oscam (edit your details to the oscam.server file and restart oscam in Alternative SoftCam Manager plugin)
    Autobouquets (set to London HD, older version not from repo that adds correct channel numbers in bouquets, 401 SS1 etc)
    Rats picon updater (not working at present, server is down)
    Picons (Rats picons for satellite and ones for Irish terrestrial)
    Hddmountmanager (external is mounted in /hdd, enable swapfile on first boot)
    CrossEPG (daily 7AM)
    CoolTVGuide (opens on EPG)
    Autotimers
    Samba server
    Webinterface
    Virtual Zap (set to exit button)
    Cache flush (set to 15mins)

    Not included:
    1Channel, TSMedia, RTE player etc (I don't usually add them as they do not stay working for long before needing updates)

    Notes:
    A/V is set to 720p 50HZ
    Audio is set to AC3 downmix
    Streaming and recording two $ channels working
    Be sure to create a 256MB swapfile in hddmount manager plugin on first boot (You'll get a green screen on cold boot, but the box boots fine after it restarts)
    FTP User: root, pass: blank (to set a pass telnet in and run "passwd root" and it will ask for a pass)
    Oscam port: 8888 user: root, pass: oscam

    anyone want to recommend a good stable (wife friendly) image, or should I wait a couple more weeks until the most recent release get a good going over first?

    I might get around to putting a copy of my image this weekend, still one or two things I want to set up correctly in it before I release it to the masses!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    Below is a link to my Hyperion v4 based Complete Image - for the Amiko Alien2 and other ST7162 Based Boxes.

    This image is working with the following:
    AutoTimer
    AutoVolumeAdjustment
    AutoBoquets 20131020 (works in about 60 secs)
    CacheFlush
    CrossEPG 0.8.1
    CoolTVGuide v7.0
    EMU Manager
    MyTubePlayer
    OpenWebIf
    OSCam v9550 (with blank sample readers)
    PermanentTimeShift
    Various Skins
    Rats Picons
    RTE Player
    Samba Server
    Sly HD bootlogo
    Soarview Picons
    Streaming / Recording of $ Channels while watching another $ channel
    TSMedia 5.6
    Virtual Zap.

    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

    The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for using HDMI at 720p. Terrestrial channels may need to be rescanned depending on your geographical location.

    FTP and Telnet - Username "root", Password "pkteam"
    OSCam - http://box_ip:8888 - Username "root", Password "oscam"
    OpenWebIf - http://box_ip (Default Port 80)
    DreamBoxEdit paths - /etc/enigma2/

    Newer revisions of the AA2 have a slightly different driver for the display on the front of the box. As a result on these newer boxes your display will show "Boot" all the time. When a fix becomes available I will update the image and post it on the forum.

    I've tried to load Fresh Pots image.

    It seems to upload correctly but when the box reboots it hangs at the 'Sky HD' splash screen and 'PKT SVN' on the box led display. Any ideas. Amiko Alien 2 twin tuner.

    Try downloading my image again, I've updated the link with a backup from today. Hopefully that sorts the problems a couple of you were having.

    All recordings, this is a linux box, it records using open formats without DRM. A Ferguson is a locked down box.

    Running Fresh Pots V4 image. Everything is working fine except for CrossEPG.

    When I select CrossEPG downloader it shows "Starting Downloader, Starting Converter, Loading data" all in the space of a few seconds but it doesn't work.

    I am using a kingston usb drive connected to the front USB port as I did in V3 but it doesn't seem to be working.

    I also tried downloading to a HDD connected to the rear USB with no sucess either. Any ideas?
