Thanks.
Any notion on the streaming availability or am I getting greedy !
Iptv?

hallo dare · 17-09-2014 7:02pm

Enjoy what you have for now and do a backup. The more plugins you install the more you bog down the box to a point where it eventually hangs on you constantly

IPTV Loader plugin is installed ,you can try that .
It adds iptv streams to your bouquets so they can be viewed like a normal channel.
Some of the streams can be decent but they are a bit hit and miss

Had a look in iptv list updater (that's all I can find with iptv) and a series of countries etc is in there? Is there any way it can go about just putting in a web address? Or is there another way?

When you go to download it asks you where you want to download to. Just point it to where you want on your HDD

Can't see where I could 'download'

I just kept pressing ok on a film until it came on, any other button presses such as record etc were void, gone to bed now with it streaming, will see if it's of hdd tomo

Image installation procedure - the safe, simple and 100% foolproof way

1. Download the E2 Plugins from the following link http://goo.gl/bcSWub. Take the whole folder and copy it to the root of any USB stick
2. Boot the box into the default Spark operating system. If your box is in Enigma already, turn it off, hold in the OK button on the box and keep it pressed, turn on the box and release the OK when you see the FORC message on the box. Press the Up arrow on the box which will then say SPAR and then press OK
3. Insert the stick into the box. The system will see the stick being installed and prompt for the installation of the plugins - say "Yes"
4. Download and copy the pre-prepared image of your choice to a USB stick. You can copy any number of images to the same stick, putting each in it's own separate directory on the stick. An image contains two files - uImage and e2jffs2.img
5. Press Menu, Press Down and Right to plugins. Select the e2upgrade plugin from the list. On screen, you then will see a box with /c/storage in black writing in a yellow bar across the centre of the screen. Click OK to navigate to the folder you want, press Red to select and press Red to Upgrade
6. Upon completion, turn off the box. Press and hold the OK button, Turn ON the box and wait until you see the front panel say FORC. At this point, release the OK button. Press the DOWN arrow button on the box and it will display ENIG. Press and Release the OK button.
7. The box will now reboot into Enigma

Hi, I am trying to reinstall Enigma on my Sab tuner - I had problems with my box (which are dealt with now) but unfortunately I reverted back to Spark which I now regret.

Anyway - I have the following files/folders on my USB key - _MACOSX / Enigma2_August_OAT... / plugin / e2jffs.img / uImage

When I go to the plugin menu and select the enigma plugin - I get the screen as above but when I press the /storage/c/ path nothing shows up - have I got the files in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance.

You just need the last two files in a folder named enigma 2

how.gareth · 18-09-2014 3:24pm

Your better off just downloading a fresh image from the firmware thread

stevenpc · 18-09-2014 3:45pm

hi zardoz just installed your image but having a problem setting tuner c to scan 13/16/19.2/28.2 using usals there is an option to scan 4sats but lnb option is 36 or something like that cant select lnb1.also only 28.2 shows up do i need to install a sat list or am i missing something?
cheers its a nice image many thanks

I did a fresh download from the place I bought the box. When I press the update it just says: can not find kernel file not found upgrade failed! so its obviously the way I have them on the USB drive?

All I have now on the root folder is: plugin(folder), e2jffs2.img, uIimage

Best way to get any support on here is to download one of the lads images from the firmware thread, you shouldn't have any plugin in your folder, just the two files called e2jffs.img and uIimage

There was a fix posted a while back for me when I had the same problem, it's simple to do, I'm on the phone at the mo but will root it out when I get home

Technofobe · 18-09-2014 5:01pm

@ mtout

you may want to try a different make of usb key if you still don't see the files
These boxes used to be a little tetchy about the make of usb key
Kingston being preferred
Did not think it was much of an issue these days but if all else fails try that

Been away for a while,

What is the most popular image at the moment, currently using hyperion 4(sly version)
Happy with setup ATM, are the new images worth changing for?

TIA

I'd stick with it to be honest. All the newer images seem to have their own little flaws/glitches. Openatv might be worth a look as it probably has the least but make sure to do a backup of your current setup beforehand.

BopperSnr · 18-09-2014 8:09pm

apologies if covered elsewhere but my epg doesn't get updated. (using Hyperion 4) even when I download now within crossepg, nothing downloads. in info about database in crossepg it shows filesize of 6.16mb but channel count is 0. It's saving to external hardisk.

Is that on the standalone 1channel plugin or TSMedia ?

I think the download option might only be available in the TSMedia version .

last update time showing the 17th sept but that may have been when I was playing around with downloading scripts from other providers like RAI.

I uninstalled and re-installed Cross EPG but still same issue.

hallo dare · 19-09-2014 12:47pm

Go to menu-setup-crossepg-opentv provider. What's ticked 28.2 or 28.4? Try unticking one or the other and try downloading again. I used to have to do this with openarp. Usually having to tick 28.4 one day to download, then unticking and ticking 28.2 the next. Sometimes both needed to be ticked.

BopperSnr · 19-09-2014 4:37pm

strange in Open TV providers, I only have 3 :
Ausat openTV (Optussc1 on 156.0)
Sky Italia OpenTV (Hotbird on 13.0)
Sky UK OpenTV (Astra2 on 28.2)

How do I add more?

You only need 28.2 if it's only sky uk you want. Make sure it's ticked.

Yes 28.2 is always the only one I have ticked. And it doesn't download anything.

Use the same spark plugin you used to back it up, just press upgrade instead of backup.

ah super i saw that option but was afraid to use it till i was sure, cheers for the quick reply

how.gareth · 19-09-2014 8:16pm

i have given all the different images a go over the last while and get small different problems with each one even after redownloading and reflashing, judging by peoples comments it seems that what works perfect on one persons box might not be as perfect on anothers. would that be down to different versions of boxes like amiko and sab or is it just pot luck? still tryin to understand a bit about how this all works to be honest

"ORIGINALLY POSTED BY TECHNOFOBE" You could also try an install using DCC as described in this little video

@zardoz, is there any particular reason why your image won't let me use the Sly skin? I install it and select it as my skin, but the box goes into a boot loop after that. Currently using Freshpots H4 image and it's running the sly skin.

Not really sure why it doesnt work ,it could be something to do with the extended keymapper perhaps ?
I tested the Sly skin a while back and it worked but I didnt like its performance or look so uninstalled it .
Can you link me to the skin so I can test it ?

Is there a way to set the audio on the movie channels to mpeg by default as the the sound seems very low with AC3 channel.I can change with the yellow button and I have subtitles turned off but can I do it automatically.

Yes, there is a setting prefer ac3 track and another to downmix ac3 to stereo, have a look through the menu. This is what is happening, you are receiving surround and down mixing to stereo losing lots if the sound. You can also use the auto volume plugin to set sound settings of any channel

Is it possible to watch a recording while it is still been recorded or does one have to wait till the recording is finished?

Not trying to be smart, but could you not just have tried it instead of asking???:rolleyes:

Anyway, you can watch while it's recording.

Yeah you can watch before its finished, just press the folder button and click on the recording and it'll start from the start.

Just spotted this on the bargain alerts thread, if anyone is after a HD for recordings, down to £43.99.

This is the unofficially recommended hard disk to go with the AA2.

Maybe, if you can find a decent fast one, I have sold quite a few of those Samsung M3s, it's capable of recording 2x HD channels at the same time in the Spark test when very few others can. I recommend using a powered usb hub so it's not pulling power from the box. Also this price makes it around the same price as I get it from my supplier, may as well just advise my customers to buy direct and let Amazon handle the warranty and save myself support calls, especially if they're running permanent timeshift

Is anyone using the amiko wifi dongle? I'm setting up a box (alien 2+) for someone, installed Zardoz Hyperion 4. It's looking for a wifi plugin to set it up. I know home plugs are a better option but he bought the wifi dongle before knowing about them. The box came with an enigma image from tv trade and we got the wifi working but I decided to put an image on that I was familiar with.
Thanks

Imstuck · 23-09-2014 9:57pm

In my experience some of the enigma images don't support wifi connection, I got around it by buying a range extender and taking an Ethernet from that.

Nowso · 24-09-2014 1:08am

the images are set up for ethernet ive connected but it is tricky and in hyperion you need to change settings in the bluepckt and the network settings seperatly
