Amiko Alien2 / SAB / GM / ST7162 ENIGMA Discussion Thread

championc

This thread is for discussion of the ENIGMA operating system on ST7162 Based Satellite & Terrestrial Combo Receivers

The boxes covered would be the
Amiko Alien2
SAB Unix Tripple
GM Triplex

Enigma is a Linux based alternative to the default Spark operating system on these boxes. Enigma is a more customisable OS and provides the ability to add plugins which can accomplish many tasks enabling users to have a box which might look and perform like a Sky box, giving a 7 day EPG and an alternative to series link

A detailed FAQ type post with most installation instructions is below in Post 2

On my image, CacheFlush is in the Plugins.

Why look to do a daily reboot ? If you feel the need, you need a new image TBH. Use CacheFlush or a swap file (setup in HDD Manager on my Image too).

If you're still hellbent on going the Cron route, use this
* 4 * * * /usr/init.d/reboot

Many people take images like mine below, flash them onto the box using the instructions in post #2 of this thread and then leave them alone, to work away in the backround. I understand the views of others saying to stay away from the Beta OpenATV but I can't find much wrong with it to be honest. The only feature I can find so far that won't work is HDMI-CEC.

Thanks man I will give that a try, Previous images I tried needed to be rebooted every day or so to keep it running smooth. I will try this one without and see how it goes.

Cheers

Using Champs image now, all looks good so far Saorview seems to be stable, although it was late when I got it set up so I will give it a proper test later.

I am having a problem with CrossEPG, I had the same problem with the new version of CrossEPG on the Hyperion image. After a reboot the EPG doesn't reload, Has anyone else come across this? is there a way to use the old version on OpenATV?

Is it set to save to portable storage?

I had it set to HDD, But I just checked the EPG settings in Webif and it was set to internal. I also noticed the Hard Drive was set to go into stand by after 5min so maybe this caused it.

I changed the EPG back to HDD (In Webif) and did a reboot but it still not loading, I will try and force a reload when I get home.

Below is a link to my Openatv 4.2 BETA Backup Image - for the Amiko Alien2 and other ST7162 Based Boxes.

This image is working with the following:
Alternative Softcam Manager
AutoTimer-similar to series link
AutoVolumeAdjustment
AutoBoquets 20/10/13 (Will run nightly @ 3am - works in less than 60 seconds)
BlueHD 3.1 skin - Similar to the Sky EPG
CacheFlush - Keeps your box running smooth
CrossEPG 0.8.1 - Updates nightly at 4am.
HDD mount manager - Hdd auto mount enabled and 512mb swapfile enabled
IMDB Search
Ondemand - Includes rte player, 3player, tunein radio and shoutcast.
OpenWebIf
OSCam v9550 - with blank sample readers
PermanentTimeShift - Pause, rewind live tv.
Rats Picons + Soarview Picons

Stream / Record a $ Channels while watching another $ channel

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.

OSCam - - Username "root", Password "oscam"
OpenWebIf - (Default Port 80)
DreamBoxEdit paths - /etc/enigma2/

This software is in beta so expect a few bugs but on the whole it is quite smooth. Software updates are coming almost daily so check for updates regularly. (Menu - Setup - Software Management - Software Update)

Enjoy

Hi, quick question on this. I have OpenATV 4.1 loaded at the moment, will a software upgrade through the menu on the box upgrade me to 4.2? Or will I have to install using the download link? Cheers!

You need to start afresh. Software Upgrade only rolls up the 4.1 items that need upgrading.

Anyone else getting sky living hd as channel number 104 instead of channel 4 hd?
Channel 4 has moved to 227 for some reason.
I'm using hyperion 4, autobouquets and crossepg.

I tried everything to get this EPG working but every time I reboot I loose it.
Force reload works but it takes about 5min

Any suggestions?

You do not set epg in webif, you set it to the hdd in CrossEPG. You have it saving to local flash, therefore it will be gone after a reboot. It will also cause the box to lag

I just tried championc's 4.2 image tonight and was rather confused about bouquets. I may have just got messed up, as I had to rescan the terrestrial channels, and ended up running the auto-bouquets plugin too. The way the channels were presented just seemed different to my previous hyperion4, they just seemed all together in one block. I also had 2 green screen crashes, moving around doing things in the menus. I note some people commenting the swap file might need enabling? My external HDD was accessible with the existing recordings playable.

Anyhow under time pressure to leave the system usable I had to revert back to my backup, but I will try again in a few days.

Champions said he hasn't scanned bouquets in his image at all so you'll just see favourites until you set and run Autobouquets

I set it up in CrossEPG last night after removing it and re-installing it, I also checked the config file to confirm but its still the same. I notice the lag alright until I reload it.

I re-uploaded the image once someone said the AB wasn't working. So the image is now scanned with both Terrestrial (Three Rock) and Satellite 28.2e

Hey, I took a copy of your image and all seems to be ok bar the fact it seems that every second channel doesn't appear up, I'm running one line in from the satellite as I've to run another one and setup saorview over the weekend. For example, RTE 1 doesnt work, RTE 2 does, TV3 doesnt work, 3e does etc

Do you normally use Three Rock from Maynooth ? The image is pre-scanned with Three Rock. If you normally use another transmitter, you'll need to re-scan the terrestrial (which might not be a bad idea anyway)

Delete the database on your hdd and build it from scratch

again, similar issue, only al terrestrial except rte1 and rte1+1 are working for me,

did a manual rescan and deleted on scan, pulling my signal from mullaghanish so the frequency is the same as three rock

Press the play button to show the list of your TV recordings, press the few dots to go up a level then go into the crossepg folder and delete all files using the red button. When done press the few dots again to go up a level and go back to the movie folder to your where your recordings are and exit. Then run the crossepg downloader plugin to pull down a fresh database, takes 3-5mins

mossym

sorry, it's a different error.drive isn't initialised, that's the issue. i formatted it in sparc to ext3, but when i try to initialise it in enigma i get a mounting error, saying it may be because the partition takes the whole drive. any ideas?

apologies for the newbie questions

If I download an ipk file online and then ftp it to my AA2 box, how do I actually run it?
For example, I'm running OpenATV 4.1 and downloaded the OpenStore ipk, then ftp'd to the tmp folder on the box. What do I do to run it?

Thanks!

Select local extension in software management.

Okay fixed the egg issue. User error

Definitely something up with the champion image I downloaded though..sat channels work fine. Rtenl channels messed up though. Rte one doesn't work at all and causes the box to stutter big time. Others work but stutter. All rtenl were working okay before I installed the image. Any ideas? Multiple rescans tried

Yeh Three Rock transmitter is the main Maynooth mast afaik, problem is running off Satellite, not terrestrial

I think there may be a little confusion here as Champ is asking if you are receiving from Three Rock transmitter ( which I thought was only terrestial )
But you are indicating that you have not set up the terrestial yet not till the weekend

I know that the Alien 2 can support both Saorview and FTA Sat, but I wonder can it also support analogue TV, in particular UPC's Analogue TV service?

If yes, then:

- Can you use UPC Analogue, Saorview and FTA sat at the same time?
- Can the UPC Analogue be on the same EPG as the others?
- Can you record, etc. the UPC Analogue service?

Thanks for any help.
