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

I'm using Freshpots Hyp 4.5 When its been left in standby for a few hours and I go to switch it on it comes on with a blank screen. The menu works ok but no picture. I have to switch it off and on again to fix it. Anyone else having this problem?

Change the default start up channel. Switch to bbc1 for example press ok brings up Chanel list then press menu and select set as startup service

Just to add, everything else connects ok.
Laptop works through same Ethernet cable.
Here is my phone settings when connected through wifi

Imstuck

Still my box won't connect to my network.
My router up is 192.168.1.1
Never connects automatically with Dhcp.
Input various ip's for box of 192.168.1.2 and changed last digit upwards with no joy.
255.255.255.0 for mask
Gateway entered is box ip ending in 1.1
DNS changed it to 8.8.8.8 (which then changes to box ip) nameserver 2 to 8.8.4.4 & also tried box ip.

I'm absolutely at my wits end

Cancelling UPC and thinking of getting one of these. Just wondering If I bought one and left spark on it or whichever version of Enigma the seller loads to it, would it be wife friendly? I don't mind playing around with them myself to customise them etc but I need to know it will work without hassle when she goes to use it. Thanks in advance.

Spark is very user friendly but it lacks some features that you might miss. Series link, tsmedia,rte player etc. All depends on what image is preloaded. Some are better than others. What you could do is flash one of the backups from here when you get the box.

Sounds more like your laptop hasn't got a suitable player or at least the correct file association. Clicking that icon sends an m3u (playlist) file to your laptop. The browser should either open the correct player (eg media player, vlc or whatever) or ask you what to do with "stream.m3u"

EDIT: I use Firefox and Media Player Classic. I don't know how other software combos perform but Windows media player is pants for this

yep you were bang on, it had no association set up for that file so used vlc and all is good, thanks a lot

Hi lads,

can someone tell me the naming convention for picons? In other words, how do i get a channel pointed to a new picon?

Right clicking the channel in dreamboxedit will show you the channels ID. Your box will probably have a TP info menu to show the same ID.
For example:- RTÉ1 is "1_0_1_2581_7FB_2_11A0000_0_0_0 .png"
BBC 2 HD is "1_0_19_1B1C_802_2_11A0000_0_0_0.png"
EDIT:-
In Enigma go MENU>INFO>SERVICE INFO
replace colons : with underscore _

I think if you use dreamboxedit and rightclick on the service there is an option to change the picon just point it to the new picon and should work
or at the very least it will show you the naming of same

Thanks Technofobe, I've tried that but I can't seem to find anything on dreamboxedit that refers to picons. I've tried to observe a pattern with channel info and picons that I already have and I can't see anything. Probably something under my nose that I am missing.

Is it possible to use motor without usals.
Also where do I get a channel list.

i use usals never tried setting up just using dis 1.2 if your dish is aligned correctly usals is no problem.
regarding chan list most of the time a chan list is already in the image thats if using a backup.
when i used to use dis 1.2 and not usals on other boxes there is been the option to drive/nudge the dish east/west just select a strong transponder and nudge till you get a signal.I used to start with astra 28.2 then when thats locked in i would nudge to 19.2 then from there to hotbird as they are the sats i use.
if the image you are starting with already has astra 28.2 installed just start with that.
If starting from scratch with no chan list you can go here (satellites-xml.eu/ i cant post links)
and select the sats that you want then install the saved xml to the image.
hope this is of some help.

Harcrid

Having some cross epg issues. Seems to download and populate perfectly fine for saorview and most FTA channels but others only have now and next.

I am currently using Rytec UK XMLTV as a source. I would prefer to use the Sky UK Open tv provider but the Open TV providers section is completely blank when I open it. Any way to add Open tv sources?

question for FreshPots, should i be able to rewind live tv on this image. it will pause live tv but not rewind. i can't see any options for timeshift in the menu.

thanks.

This will work also. I mapped the fast forward and rewind functions to the actual fast forward and rewind keys ( along with the shortcut to timer)
(Once FTPed over, rename as keymap.xml)

In the EPG screen clicking the small TV icon on the right hand side streams that channel, the other icon beside it opens a detailed EPG for that channel with the option to set a timer.
Clicking the channel name makes the box zap to that channel.
Further down on LHS is an option to select and stream any recorded movies.

Cheers Gerry but when I click on the TV icon it doesn't stream the channel, epg works perfect on it though so does that mean I have a problem with samba server?

Yeah if you press pause and then left it should rewind 2x,press it again 4x etc.

Skippy along

Think you need to set any channel as a start up channel to solve that

Thanks didn't think of that one, will try later on today
