I dont have download link. Just found this on spanish az forum.

[SAUS04]

I wonder if t 0.9.3181 is a beta tester firmware and public release will come with a diffrent build string i cant find a download link for this anywhere anyone else?

[Taykun]

someone tested (google translation)



Zapping very slow ...

Some bugs fixed.

In dissociated and now mkv league and sair scart to enter the movie ...


Display has separate audio and

The subtitles in the Spanish and seem OK

[slegs]

Well not avaialble at

azupd.com/0.9.3281/patch.bin

so it must be beta...

[genius74]

Yes, it's a beta firmware, please wait for oficial one.

[gtg60]

I would have to say if all those changes are implemented then I see it as a significant step forward, looking forward to it's imminent release :respect-040:

[slegs]

I hope this is out this weekend. Freesat EPG - I can't wait to test it out!!!!

[terrorman]

better to think that everything stays the same, so the decepccion is less

[BE-COOL]

This version is good, zapping is slow, but it ins't slower than before.

The best improvement for me is that now audio and subtitles languages are not forgotten.

[antrabe]

i hope that works better cccam because from 2880 not works fine

[antrabe]

That its another thing that i cant understand because i install 211 and my server seems to me slowly i cant connect with ip:16001 work fine like client but i thinlk that my peers cant connect. happens the same to you?

[sami8519]

That its another thing that i cant understand because i install 211 and my server seems to me slowly i cant connect with ip:16001 work fine like client but i thinlk that my peers cant connect. happens the same to you?


The dvbapi.sh in /EMU/OpenXCAS/dvbapiCAS/ should look like this:


#!/bin/sh
killall -9 dvbapi_module
killall -9 ld.so.1



LD_PRELOAD=/EMU/lib/libdvbapi.so /EMU/lib/ld.so.1 --library-path /EMU/lib/ /EMU/lib/CCcam.mipsel -dv -C /EMU/lib/CCcam.cfg &

sleep 5

cd /EMU/OpenXCAS/dvbapiCAS
./dvbapi_module &

Regards.

[antrabe]

yes i have the same the only diferent is that i had -dlv but i dont think that this l makes that i cant connect with my cccam server no?
this what i had im going to test without l


LD_PRELOAD=/EMU/lib/libdvbapi.so /EMU/lib/ld.so.1 --library-path /EMU/lib/ /EMU/lib/CCcam.mipsel -dlv -C /EMU/lib/CCcam.cfg &

[sami8519]

no mate It is this difference that making problem for you. Try it and you will see.

[dveras]

and what about wifi? bug's will be corrected? :confused:

[antrabe]

ok im going to copy what you wrote to my dvbapi.sh.

Also i have to change the file S2cccam.sh?

because i have also other l this is what i have in this file

LD_PRELOAD=/EMU/lib/libdvbapi.so /EMU/lib/ld.so.1 --library-path /EMU/lib/ /EMU/lib/CCcam.mipsel -dlv -C /EMU/lib/CCcam.cfg &

[sami8519]

yes you have to change it as well.

[antrabe]

nothing i have changed this lines but i cant connect withh ip:16001 i can open but i dont know if my peers are connected.

[xanadu]

The best improvement for me is that now audio and subtitles languages are not forgotten.

A total waste of time for me though!

I hope the next public version does not have more bugs than fixes like the last one. :D :eek:

[enrico001u]

freesat epg would a tremendous step in the right direction and would signal opensats intent to improve the box.

First and foremost this box is a satellite reciever errors and improvements need to be made to this side of the boxes fuctionality IE epg and cccam etc..

and then focus on the mutilmedia side once reciever is competent.

has just the changelog been published? or has anyone out there managed to test this firmware?

[chrisuk76]

What about lan/usb speed transfer limit, surely this should be a straight forward simple thing to correct?

[Dig Deep]

Yes, it's a beta firmware, please wait for oficial one.

I been doing that for ages :respect-055:

[Taykun]

does channel list no closes when you press OK button?
or they still havent fixed this "small" issue LOOOL

[fanoSat]

Indeed I hate it!

The entrie channel list is impratical in my opinion... I love the enigma way 4 type only (who uses all that lists? No settings use it!) and you choose it with the colored button in the remote NOT pushing EXIT EXIT (absurd I've spent 2 hours to understand how to change from ALL to FAV :ack2: )

[antrabe]

anyone knows if its yet on the net or only the changelog.

[slacker17]

I agree, don't see the point of genres when you can set up favorite groups for them. Nobody is going to waste their time looking through genres which are filled up with channels you cant decode or want to watch. I also like the way my eagle lists the channels numbers in order of how they appear in my bouquets so when I select 1 it always goes to BBC1 no matter which bouquet I'm in.

[goran]

What about lan/usb speed transfer limit, surely this should be a straight forward simple thing to correct?

It would appear not - it needs re-writing of the processor driver, a very hard thing to do, as one needs the src for it and Sigma is not giving it away [something to do with the licences]. Apparently, higher speeds are collapsing the processor, so...

And all else might get better after that. But it all might have to be changed, too... A lot of work, it seems, indeed.

Then, a new, better API, no "intermediaries/interceptors" and hence a different structure altogether, plus different EMUs/CS SW, so it would all be faster and more stable...

But we are hopeful... And that's being carefully announced, kinda "in between" the lines and behind the scenes...

We'll see and we'll believe it when we see it...

In the meantime, good luck!

I don't know how much of that is true but I am not an expert on it...

I was using the last firmware 3120 or something and I had constant pauses / breaks when watching 28.2 with CCcam client last release and CCcam server 2.1.2.

I got fedup and went back to firmware 1759 which is the last firmware with no restrictions on the ethernet port and now I can watch 28.2 with no breaks or pauses at all.

[happyhammer]

I got fedup and went back to firmware 1759 which is the last firmware with no restrictions on the ethernet port and now I can watch 28.2 with no breaks or pauses at all.

thats interesting. I upgraded from 2880 to the 3177/ 3180 and noticed constant freezes when using cccam 2.04/2.11 via terrormans script install method or when using standalone 2.1.1 install. When using standalone 2.1.1 install, i could start it in telnet and watch ecm times, they were excellent but still i was getting constant freezes. I downgraded to 2317 and it was much better. i might try going even further back to 1759 as you have and see how that works. You are sure it has no speed restrictions on the LAN ? does that mean you can play and record high bitrate content?

[goran]

Ermmm, another lay person here - isn't that due to reduced cash size, in the new FW? So, we get less stuff decoded, especially with CCcam, even though it can be done... Restarts required or even reboos, at times...

LAN and USB port restrictions have to do more with the high bitrate mkv etc. files, don' they?

LAN speed is good enough to have decent CS. I can verify it.

28'E is more difficult than, say, Viaccess, for CS. Response times are shorter.

Then, it depends, from one moment to the next - how many of you are on the same card/server...

Then, the traffic on the net, in general...

Then, the configuration of your CS SW in relation to the CAS/PID info, prio file etc.

Then, the CS SW itself. They do not work equally well in our machine.

I have really good quality, almost no freezes on 28'E at some time very early in the morning, when most people are sleeping, as there aren't many vampires like me, in the world...:sifone: So, even though it's not a local card in my best server/peer, i.e. it's distance 2, at such times I can still watch it really well!

CCcam is not properly done for our rec, do not forget. It's a hack, with a mediator, so it's all slower than Mbox, which doesn't have it.

It's great we have it and it's a very neat thing, done beautifully by Mower/The_Ripper and sorted for us by Kanber_Kav. But not as it should be.

Allegedly, they are working on it... We hope...:cheers2::respect-051:

[hanswurscht]

Take a look to produce Time for Mbox and for any CCcam variant, and you will see the difference

[happyhammer]

i also watch mostly 28.2. i am aware of all the reasons why you can get freezes, but as i said, the ecm times were excellent, i was watching them in a telnet sesion and still i was gettting regular freezes that must be azbox firmware/cccam related.

Normally you start getting pixellation/freezes on NDS if the ecm time is more than 600 msecs. these ecm times were easily less that 400msecs

downgrading to 2137 stopped these particular freezes.

[happyhammer]

Take a look to produce Time for Mbox and for any CCcam variant, and you will see the difference

i need to work with cccam servers, so Mbox is not an option ( i think)

[Carp95]

Indeed I hate it!

Use OK instead off - exit-exit-exit

[fanoSat]

If I am in the ALL list and I want go in FAV I must press EXIT 2 times... OK does nothing... or there is some trick?

slacker17 I'm with you for the "press 1 goes to BBC1" not "Arabian Nights" :o11: , too!

[xanadu]

If it's the BBC you want to watch, just use your TV or watch via the internet.

I didn't buy an Azbox to watch the BBC.

I bought it to get away from the BBC. :beatdeadhorse5:

[gtg60]

Arrgh, has this not been released officially yet??

Any of official betatesters like to unofficially comment? :king-042:

[slacker17]

I didn't buy an Azbox to watch the BBC.

I bought it to get away from the BBC. :beatdeadhorse5:

Nobody was questioning how to get the BBC it was just about a logical order of the epg with continuous channel numbers and how currently there are a lot of key presses to do simple navigation.

By the way have you manually removed the transponder settings for the bbc or any channel that's available on another medium so they don't get automatically tuned in when you scan the satellites? I don't want you breaching your limit of channels and messing your box up! :D

[fanoSat]

The BBC1 in my case was an example... I'm in Italy... I should have RAI1 on 1... but it's a very very low quality channel... I wish to have a public service as BBC!

On my Box on 1 I've "Sky Cinema 1" :rofl:

[slegs]

Any sign of this latest firmware being released?

[hanswurscht]

no Sir :)
seems to be there are no leaks for the Moment. Nice to see, perhaps they have now the Time for to build a good one.
For me its equal if there is a new firmware today or in two weeks, more important point is a good one

[Taykun]

hope we wont be dissapointed. Look how many weeks are we waiting...

[hanswurscht]

On other Products you will not informed, you will perhaps never get bugfixes(dont say no, often enough happend)or you wait a half year for it.
I think Opensats biggest Problem is to have not the complete source, so changes cant made direct(only my thought, dont really know)

[rtificial]

I agree Hans, there are a lot of products which have an update once a year, or maybe twice, and are not products which are in a better state.

A couple of weeks is not too much, I'd be satisfied if they delivered a properly tested firmware once every two months.

[gtg60]

I think Opensats biggest Problem is

LACK of communication!
If they had a webpage that listed ALL known bugs and a simple one line explanation as to why it hadn't been sorted we would all feel a lot better.
It wouldn't even have to be that specific, just once we knew it was a bug and why it hadn't been sorted.

Anyway, where is this latest firmware, I want to Beta test it :toetap05:

[slegs]

Me too. I would prefer very frequent firmware updates rather than long gaps with more stability.

At least if you dont like a firmware you can revert to the previous one. Many FW releases at least gives a feeling of momentum and will generate feedback which could be useful.

Once we are at FW 1.0 then I would expect there to be a lot more caution with FW releases but as of now we are not stable so its better to keep the FW releases coming quick and fast.

I can't agree with this, developing high quality software takes time and effort. I don't want to receive firmware that has been released without proper software design processes having been used and without proper testing having been performed.

If you're looking to have your 'feelings' mollified then what Opensat could do is to issue weekly updates on the progress of their software coding. This approach would show that Opensat really is a customer focussed organisation.

I guess, at this stage, Opensat, have a team of beta-testers and don't need any more 'feedback' from communities such as this one.

Or it could be that Opensat don't want to give the customers the power of speech and the ability to talk direct to them.
That way they can keep up the perception that they are able to fix the bugs and major issues with this box without us lot telling them where they are going wrong.
Azbox customer care = 0 simples...

Yoda

[Tarzan]

the ability to talk direct to them.

Most of the companies don't sell their products directly to customers because they don't want the headache of dealing with 100s of customers everyday.

There are 100s of AzBox owners and everybody will have a different request or requirement.

Imagine what will happen if Opensat allowed customers to directly talk to their developers.

I am not a Opensat employee or any dealer but looking at the constant bashing in this forum I thought I would post my thoughts here...

As much as I agree with what you are saying...

If i purchased a Sony TV and some of the featured advertised did not work, I would be on the phone and be able to communicate with them.
There are lots of things that do not work as advertised with the Azbox and I cant speak to the manufacturer.

Maybe via the forums is the only way to vent our anger.

Yoda

[goran]

I think the biggest frustration is the apparent potential of this box and the discrepancy between the promises/hints/PR and the actual state of affairs, in relation to what it could do, to what it is supposed to do and us being let down by Sigma and Celrun, not to mention Opensat, when it comes to doing justice to the great HW they put in...

Now, the Sigma driver, API and all the rest of it, full of bugs, bigger and smaller... Oh, well...

Then, the promises that NEVER pan out - horrible PR, with poor people behind it...

That IS a problem, human made, human resolvable but...

Not that we can see any real changes... yet...

As much as we keep hoping...

Just loadsa deja vu!!!:smash:

[crappy]

@Goran: I deeply respect your confidence in this box. :respect-040: Maybe you can make a howto about that :respect-039:

I gave up this week and put down my old Linux box. Ok, no HD channels but that is ALL I miss (BTW the content of HD channels is not that great on 19,2 and 23,5) and paid Euro 70. Never had more fun for Euro 70 :sifone: Unbelievable how OpenSat is treating it's customers. I was promised to have FW 1.0 now.

[goran]

You misunderstood, m8: I am a frustrated utopian, me... :D

In other words, a dogged, down to Earth realist that has an eye on the future...:sifone:

Otherwise, we're all fooked... ;)

[Dig Deep]

It is a political issue-

Always promise but seldome deliver.
Still hoping as this box has the power to make us all happy :respect-055:

nonsense!

When you buy a Sony and you have a bug, you can write this where you want, but you are NEVER talking with any DEV.
You get a girl at telephone :) and sometimes you must pay for a Call (1,89€)
And when you are lucky this bug will be fixed after a half Year, if it is not a major bug

Who said anything about talking to the developers, I am talking about being able to talk direct to the company via telephone, email or forum and getting back a feedback that lets me know that they have noted my issues and are looking at resolving them.
That's the issue here, when or if the bugs get resolved is another matter.
Its called customer service, something that closedsat lack in a big way.

"And when you are lucky this bug will be fixed after a half Year, if it is not a major bug"
Exactly and we are waiting on more than one major bug...
Yoda

[hanswurscht]

you can speak to opensat on different Ways, also Email.

Other Companys dont give there Things out in Beta, but there are more and more who do this
Same is on HD+, when you buy this you are the donkey
Or you know what you are doing and you know and accept its only a Beta for min. a Year

Also the very fist Box which was build on customers nerves was.... yes, a Dream for over a Year, it begins with a 7 :)

Please no missunderstood, I also not like how its running now, but I cant change it, so I (and all other) must wait or sell this Box quickly.

I wont sell, because I have really no Problem with the Box for the Things I would do with it. But of course there are a lot of Bugs.

I could see an improvement in the very first firmware from new dev but I see also a lot of time going out between new Versions.

And Im with you, when they say, its only Betastatus, we ALL must have new Betaversions and not only Betatesters!
otherwise, it isnt a Betaversion and we can all write to Opensat give our Money back now and take an Octagon HD(maybe nearest ready HD Box now)

But you wont find any really ready Box on the Market. When I read from DMM800, they have big big Problems with Power on(Box is dead after poweroff, you cant get it running again)
Also Coolstream, too expensive, to loud, no really good Hardwware, nothing really ready.


We can write bugfixes if still burst until the finger,we can write a lot, but all doesnt really help

So I will still hold my Box and looking forward for the next Releases in Hope for better Soft

[dveras]

When comes out this release? Anybody knows it?
:confused:

[neilD]

.....and in other news, Christmas is coming! :beatdeadhorse5:

Thats an important point, Christmas is a very important time. Look at all the companies that try to get there latest product out for the Christmas period. Miss it, the competition gain. I would expect them to pull out all the stops to get a decent stable firmware out for the Christmas market.

[iwols]

ive given up expecting anything then your not dissapointed,its just took me 20 seconds to write this message maybe opensat should take typing lessons so they can inform their customers whats going on,even if its just a "we know about it and we are trying to sort it"quote cheers

[hanswurscht]

They ARE still trying, but very slow.
Have some blabla from Betatester so actual Beta is still buggy but improvements are there.
The biggest Problem is, you fix something here and something crashes there.

Before trouble again....(as last leaked firmware) any impression from whom tested it?

[lobopt]

Hi.
So far so good.

[AJR]

any impression from whom tested it?

Its an improvement from the last round of bug introduction

As yet I haven't found any new ones :D

[simon30000]

my new uk 963 white card works very well using this new firm with multicas1.57ED04
no freeze at all and i mean none :respect-055:

[xanadu]

I have just installed this leaked version and nobody has died yet. :D :respect-040:

[antrabe]

works fine with ccam? not for me

[simon30000]

cccam ,native, ok hear :number-one-043:

[antrabe]

i use 204 is that native?

[sami8519]

yes it's native but due to how it works with openxcas the interecptor, sadly it does not work like a real one. Hope a solution comes soon.

[antrabe]

i have read in other forums that with this firm cccam goes worse. i have tested and i can confirm that but im not sure if you say that works fine.

if at least works better than 3180 i will stay with 3281

[psygnosis]

Am well just installed the firmware but where is the native cccam I can't see it?

[simon30000]

quicker zapping but no flash player yet for brouser , im using cccam 2.1.1, working ok just been watchin bit of wwe in hd
would be nice if cccam can be matched with the latest multcas via any line
cus multi was reading me new white ruppys card very nicely ,then we could use this combination muticas + cccam reader/server
any magical people about that could put this together
ps thanks to all you guys stuying the az , helps me to give me family lots a cool telly :bravo-009:

[hanswurscht]

quicker zapping ? lol, dont know what youre doing but zapping is lame like my Grandma running.

MkV? not sync, not all running
CCcam? freezing all the time
mbox? only with a trick running good
mgcamd? freeeezing!
fixes? I can crash the Box again with any record from EPG
cut Files 3GB, awsome Feature(or Bug)

But good Luck with this, Im quick back to 3177(this is not really better,but for me the best one)

[rtificial]

What kind of trick for mbox?

Have been running this FW since this morning, no idea about quality.

[gandalfthegrey]

no freeze at all and i mean none :respect-055:

same here...but on 28.2E (S*Y) I don't have full EPG, just the immediate channel I'm watching and maybe just 1 or 2 other channels showing in the EPG..

[rtificial]

You need to press the green button to download EPG. (from within the epg screen)

Hi rtifical....did that but still no full EPG, only scattered programs in the list..?

[gtg60]

Hi rtifical....did that but still no full EPG, only scattered programs in the list..?
It's the Freesat EPG so you only get the FTA channels from 28E, hopefully the next EPG to be implemented will fill those voids on 28E :001_005:

Ahhh..that explains a lot,cheers gt.

[Smudger]

Does it have to be on a specific channel on 28.2 for the epg to work? I get can't find data cannel after pressing green button.

I find this firmware as good as 2880 as far as cccam native is concerned.
Will do me for now.

[tferi]

Now with 0.9.3281 i still have audio problems.... worst, I even have missing audio on channel change from HD to SD, and between SD channels sometime. In 4 hour of testing I have lose even video signal 3 times under HDMI (just a reboot helped, not the change from HDMI 1 to HDMI2 on my TV)! I had resofted 3 times, with Factory reset before and after, formatting the application area, without situation changes. My LCD panel is a SONY 32L4000, which has no sound problem with any other devices (tested even with the new Coolstream HD1) over HDMI. Put back 0.9.2032 and the sound is working again without problems. It seems that this box is completely useless for me with any software newer than 2032, and the situation gets only worst.

[gandalfthegrey]

Has anybody else noticed the change in Satellite names/transponders in their Sat list after the upgrade??
My Astra 19.2E (on Diseqc .0 LNB 2) is now 16.0E and my Astra 28.2 (on Diseqc 1.0 LNB 3) is now 26.1E...Hotbird 13.0E has stayed the same...Had to edit SAT/TP to change the Sats to their original numbers..
cheers..

What do you think about the word beta?

Is it the same like public?
I dont think so and look for Data of internal publishing(08-25-09)
Im sure there is a new fixed beta, so I will wait for releasing official

[Tarzan]

Has anybody else noticed the change in Satellite names/transponders in their Sat list after the upgrade??
My Astra 19.2E (on Diseqc .0 LNB 2) is now 16.0E and my Astra 28.2 (on Diseqc 1.0 LNB 3) is now 26.1E...Hotbird 13.0E has stayed the same...Had to edit SAT/TP to change the Sats to their original numbers..
cheers..

If you have updated the channels in the previous firmwares using any Azbox Editor and then updated the firmware, then you will find things going haywire...

Happened with me a few times

[MrKappa]

Just for info (maybe useful to the developers): I cannot see all plugin at full screen but almost half. Hopefully it will be fixed for the public release....
Thanks

an old error since 3177, must be fixed by third party.
They have changed something on resolution, so Tools must be fixed also

[xln747]

Have reverted back to 2880 after HDMI failed with new firmware. This was the same for me on 3177.

[slegs]

All in all, seems much more stable than 3180/3177. A few niggles still there but nothing huge. Will be staying on this after moving from 2880. CCcam seems fine too.

[xanadu]

Same here..

Freesat EPG works fine.

It's not a major leap forward though, but maybe slightly faster than 2880.

[leerock]

Am I the only one who thinks that these 2 new leaked firms are nice steps forward?

interesting new features added and works much more stable and fast....
ok still slow but not like before.....

Cccam native was my only disappointment on 3177 but now with 3281 works much better (fewer freezes and faster zapping)

hope that the ripper makes it perfect with next release( he s not too far away):bowing-036:


EDIT: I don t care reaching v1.0
I only care having a good stable release..... even a beta one
And i think they are getting very close

[DJBlu]

I have been told a lot of people can't get the Freesat EPG to work.

If you have used the GoGo list then please rescan 28.2e as this is a fault.

Once you have searched the satellite. Press Guide --> Green then select Freesat EPG.

This will change the channel to the freesat epg channel.

The download can take sometime. 2-3 minutes is normal.

If this doesn't work then switch the channel to "ITV HD" or "10510" which ever you can find.

Then try the green button in guide again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am only offering this advice as the firmware has been leaked. I am not responsible for this information. Please do not ask me for any information reference OpenSat as I can't say.

From another thread:




mkv sub
audio/subtitles language problem bugs, reported and fixed.

It still doesn't seem to work with MKVs. Is it really fixed in the 0.9.3281 beta?

I have still forced subtitled in mkv videos when subtitles are muxed in mkv container. Maybe I just don't know how to deselect them.
Is there any trick?!

Help please! :)

Hi Man

I see you mention native cccam but I had to install the terrorman auto install 2.1.1 I think.

Is there a version built into it that I am missing?

[hfmls]

what mbox trick? mbox works great here.

what trick are u talking about?

[Aragos]

@hfmls

So what about the subtitles in mkv videos, hfmls?


Is there a way to deselect them or isn't it fixed until now?

[rtificial]

what mbox trick? mbox works great here.

what trick are u talking about?

Hanswurscht mentions a trick, but I have no idea what kind of trick.

For me it seems to work without tricks as well.

In general, what I am more curious about, is whether, and if so, how the Freesat EPG functionality can now be extended to support other EPG's as well, such as the MediaHighway EPG of Canal Digitaal NL. It would be a big improvement if we could have this extended EPG for all common providers...

[Taykun]

With this firmware AZbox sometimes looses sound when switching to different channels. TV is Panny but that doesnt matter, firmware is the problem.

Subtitles on TotalTV channels dont work very well. They work normaly a few seconds, then they disaspear and reappear for a few miliseconds and then they work normalny for a while. Then same problem all over again. :/

Also i still cant move multiple channels in channel list. I thought this is easy fix.

[hfmls]

@hfmls

gotta test. it was told that it's fixed...have to check it out

[dveras]

Then, we return to as usual ... fix one thing and broken two... :07:

[gtg60]

Then, we return to as usual ... fix one thing and broken two... :07:

Not true, this bug was in the last firmware release and isn't really a bug, you just go into Subtitles and select 'Hide' and they're gone.

FWIW I find this unofficial release to be the BEST firmware yet! I'm not saying there aren't any bugs but this is now my firmware of choice :respect-048:

[slegs]

I agree...have used it quite extensively over the weekend. Still a couple of stability issues but it is as stable as 2880 and the new features are a good step forward. The freesat EPG is huge for Ireland.

i'm having problems with the EPG. some channels are missing, No BBC/CH 4 etc...and no irish DTT channels at all..

any suggestions?

[xanadu]

It's a Freesat EPG, not an Irish DTT EPG.

Hence it will not work on those channels.

[slegs]

I suggest you rescan both your 28.2 and Irish DTT. Then redo the download epg for the 28.2. The DTT EPG should be there by default.

[gtg60]

Oh, I've just noticed that channel names longer than the display actually scroll backwards and forwards now :king-042:

Still wondering why it hasn't been released officially yet as it's the best yet IMHO.

[Aragos]

@hfmls

Forget it. I've found the option and you can disable subtitles now! :applause-003:

[simcan]

Since updating to .3177, Pan & Scan is broken here. No matter what resolution I pick for HDMI, I get double picture on my LCD TV (2 images of the same screen, imposed on top of one another).

It was great for getting full screen on 4.3 feeds with letter box. Since firmware .3177 it’s broken even on .avi playback.

Updated to .3281 and still the same :frown:

Anyone else with same problem ?

[zeini]

Yes it's a bug since firm 0.9.3177. Movies with format 4:3 and zoomed with Pan&Scan are flickering. Also if you zoomed up movies in movies-menu.

[simcan]

Thanks.So it's a known bug.

Shame it hasn't been fixed.

[dveras]

Thanks.So it's a known bug.

Shame it hasn't been fixed.

Yes, like other multiples Bugs reported to Opensat and every release has the same bugs and others new
hmfls, where are the programmers who worked on DMM and other projects? still on hollidays? Do you know something about 1.0 release?
Opensat don't reply emails... Waiting reply since one month. :respect-023: to their customers

[hfmls]

i really can't say (don't know)
i'm no longer beta tester.
shouldn't have signed petition to let source code be free. and they are saying i'm a leaker. (firmwares)
what to do. :)
just a user like you guys now.

[gtg60]

i really can't say (don't know)
i'm no longer beta tester.

That's unfortunate, now your out of the loop and they can't punish you any more why don't you let us know what the normal procedure with Beta testers and firmware was?
How often did you get firmware? How did you report bugs? How often after getting it did they release it and did they release every single firmware you were given to test?

[AJR]

Its so easy to trace who really is providing the leaks...

But if opensat can't get their act together on the simplest of things, then its no wonder that they haven't worked out how to do it. :p

[dveras]

Totally agree with you! They don't know nothing everytime has filtered firmware... :rofl:

[happyhammer]

I suggest you rescan both your 28.2 and Irish DTT. Then redo the download epg for the 28.2. The DTT EPG should be there by default.

well i can do the DTT easy enough, but scanning 28.2 will find all the crap *** chat /shopping channels that i took time to delete. Still i'll scan it, test and just reload the channels with the saved channel list and see what happens.

[ian51]

well i can do the DTT easy enough, but scanning 28.2 will find all the crap *** chat /shopping channels that i took time to delete. Still i'll scan it, test and just reload the channels with the saved channel list and see what happens.

They will be in your ALL list but your favorites will just get updated. Presume you work off your favorites?

[hfmls]

opensat works ok in firmwares...programmers work ok. and a lot. but there's more behind it that u guys can see...or WE can see.

it isn't programmers who decide when to release what...
a beta firmware is released to beta testers....
they test...about a week...reporting every day bugs...


that beta firmware would be released anyway to public without any bugs fixed, reported by beta testers


but..............

i think that changed now!
i believe beta-testers now have a second beta firmware...or public release is the previous beta firmware with bugs fixed. (that's why we are waiting)

they won't make the same mistake again. release a public firmware similar to a beta with a lot of bugs.

and believe me...if programmers or opensat could make source code public. they would.
they work on pressure, that's not good.

[rtificial]

Exactly, this is quite a normal development process, however usual in the circles you described as being new in their process management.

As project manager in software development, I know how hard it is to understand for customers to wait for this, and how they feel left out if they don't get the ability to see the intermediate results. On the other hand, it is practically impossible to satisfy a customer who has been confronted with huge amount of bugs in every version he gets delivered, regardless whether this is beta or not.
That's why it is a better commercial approach to only release to public once all beta tests have been finished, and all major bugs from the intermediate beta's have been resolved. Minor bugs will not be resolved in all cases, as that would result in never delivering releases at all ;-)



they won't make the same mistake again. release a public firmware similar to a beta with a lot of bugs.

and believe me...if programmers or opensat could make source code public. they would.

Again, I fully agree. I know they are working under a huge amount of pressure, and also know from first hand that it's not that they are not willing to release the source code, or at least the drivers. They just cannot release the complete source code as not everything is open source, and releasing a driver package will take preparation effort as well, for which they currently do no have the resources.

Development currently has a higher priority over releasing these drivers.

[hfmls]

i'm not satisfied too with network and usb speed limitation...not a bit. but i don't put pressure on them because i know that has been reported allready and they know is a must do!
we don't need to talk over and over again same stuff. that's pressure.
let them work.
but i think we waited a long long long time for simple stuff too.

[Taykun]

yes simple stuff isnt fixed. I still cannot move multiple channels in channel list :D
and channel list doesnt close itself afteer pressing OK button.
Cmon, this is easy fix.

also hfmls, you know anything about the_rippers progress? He just vanished, it seems...

[hfmls]

i think he is working on mbox 1.0 not 0011.. and in the end he will post for beta testers.

[clockterra]

Testing 3281, and found a very big problem with audio i think its due new HDMI sets, over HDMI in my TV (LG 50PG4500) The problem is in SD channels, i heard a very loud noise, that could brake speaker from TV, on home cinema the audio is going well, but not on the tv, some very bad noise that only happen on SD channels on HD channels with AC3 is working well..In menus sometimes make noise too...

i tried it 3 times changing firmwares from 3180 and 3281..(format aplication data, restore factory settings ETC...)
Going back to 3180 and all working well.
Updated again to 3281 and same problem on SD channels..Maybe its due the new Audio menu, and options..i tried changing all options possibles there without succes still same problem on TV....

Best Regards Clock..

[ukpaisley]

Just a thought, and I think its a good one, why not release two beta tests, one with the new sigma drivers that enable the restriction on the USB, or LAN lifted, causing the extra problens with stability ect. and another with the more comercial twin tuner development the box is aimed at is Europe. This way the rest of us can make a decision what we load, that way its a win win umm ...

[dveras]

I thing that the twin tuner isn't possible to manage 2 channels at same time for now... I hope to be wrong but... At this time they have big problems only for one tuner, think with twin tuner! Maybe when releases an stable firmware they can inplement this function. :bowing-036:

[hfmls]

i don't even think that the one with new sigma drivers is usable...if it was...it would be ok to be released allready...
my opinion.

[spinmar]

Other major bug: if you have azbox conencted to your tv with hdmi, if you try to turn off the television and then turn on you don't have the image any more. You have to stand-by the decoder and then wake up.

[dveras]

This bug was older... Not only problem on this firmware, I have this problem with 0.9.2880 and many people from spanish forums they have it! with Philips, Sony, LG, the problem is Azbox. :beatdeadhorse5:

[jacksie365]

Well, I took the plunge to 0.9.3281 a couple of days ago (I was badly burnt by the last two firmware "releases") and I have to say that I'm reasonably happy with it. This 0.9.3281 release seems to be very stable and have solved a lot of basic problems I've been having with my AZBOX;

- WiFi connectivity over WPA encryption now working fine (Static IP)
- Recording from EPG working fine.
- Able to record long duration TV programs

A big step forward for Opensat. :respect-040:

[Carp95]

Look far more stable with Sk& N#S HD overhere

[gtg60]

There's a vast improvement in mkv file playing as well with much quicker start up and finally being able to fast forward and rewind :001_005:

How long, recording time? More than 3 hours? It's good news.
Wrong caracters from VFD display would be corrected?

[slegs]

There seems to be a 3GB max on filesize for recordings now. If a recording goes over this it is split into multiple files. Works fine as far as i can see.

[DJBlu]

There seems to be a 3GB max on filesize for recordings now. If a recording goes over this it is split into multiple files. Works fine as far as i can see.

I am assuming this was brought in because of the FAT32 file system which cannot store anything higher than 4gb.

I could be wrong.

Very very tedious bug, IMHO :ack2:

Philips has given new Firmware for some LCDs and......I dont have Soundbugs anymore!

So it cant be an AZHD Problem only

didn't knew that :) that's good to know

[a7v8x]

OK I have just upgraded, EPG works fine for both DVB T and Feesat. I have a small noise from the speakers everytime I change channel, nothing major and I can live with it. Is there any way to turn off subtitles ? I can press Menu - Subtitle list and turn it off but everytime I change channel they come on automatically and even if I go to a previous channel where I have turned them off they are back on again.

my new uk 963 white card works very well using this new firm with multicas1.57ED04

This will change the channel to the freesat epg channel.

The download can take sometime. 2-3 minutes is normal.

The above procedure did not work for me.

Did a new scan and stored the channel list. Selected a freesat channel and then the download of the EPG worked.

Trying to download for ITV HD didn't work but when I tried it ITV HD was not transmitting anything other than the test card.

Ok I worded it wrong. ITV HD is a channel on the freesat EPG transponder. Putting it on this channel will ensure you can receive the epg.

Putting it on BBC 1 or whatever will do the same as the box retunes to BritShorts which is on the Freesat EPG transponder also.

yes works fine with internal reader.

no other plugins are active or installed. I did a complete new install deleting the plugins first. Then I just install OpenXCas and then Multicas.
At the weekend I want to install newcs & CCCam again. newcs to check what my entitlements are.

any ideas

forget last part go it now lol :respect-059:

Don' forget to put the card in the right way up. In my case I didn't: :confused: You can check if it works by going into OpenXcas them something like cams, then multicas and slot0 it displays NDS if correctly recognised. Oh and I had to reboot a few times (as usual).

i pretty confident this box will have the bugs ironed out. I'm willing to wait and lets not forget, its a HD box with twin tuners at a great price. The cccam works fairly well.

For me "twin tuner" isn't correct. Only Box with two tuner. Only work one or other not at same time.

Even if I skipped this update still thing the box has the power.

They both worked together, but I didn't test it for too long as I tried to find the simplest solution so my wife could use the Azbox with telnetting to to the box etc etc.

With newcs you have to switch (at least some) of the EMMs off otherwise I read that the card becomes saturated with requests.

For now I will stick with Multicas until a new version of CCcam and newcs comes out, I have my old sky box so every now and then I stick the white card in to make sure it gets some updates.

I use then the webinterface to newcs to see what the cards Entitlement status is, currently they show November

Looks like I've found (for me) the biggest let-down with this firmware, it appears that when playing mkv files with a DTS soundtrack my AMP continually senses the DTS track then doesn't for a split second therefore dropping the surround sound and creating an unpleasant listening experience. Anyone else nothing this?

Either way looks like it's now lost the title as my favourite firmware :o10:

Oh yes me too!! :banghead::banghead:
It's terrible!! The previous firmware had sync problem with DTS, now the new fw has this problem! It seems that opensat programmers have big problems with DTS!

neotion or anyone else with azbox ties got any news about what the current situation is there, but what are they planning (we know their plans are never accurate, but that doesnt matter) what can we expect?


there's not much do discuss about, 0.9.3281, its not even available on the azbox anymore.

The other set up I tried was CCCam + newcs.

I installed CCCam with a script written by Terrorman

[geezerpl]

Beta for Betatesters or final for Betatesters ??

Its official, I guss beta...http://azupd.com/0.9.3180/patch.bin

[Smudger]

Thats 3180.
I'm sure it's the one which was pulled from release but looks like not from board.
It's 3281 that this thread is about.

[SD2006]

:confused: I was blind.......:p

[tsakman]

Is there new firmware?

I find a youtube video with a new one.I don't know if it is true

_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o_dxIjyja0

[iwols]

thats interesting tsakman

[SAUS04]

it seems the person/s posting the video are members (admin/owner) of a sat forum satpodpora i wonder if it is real? or is it just a trick to get people to look at their forum?

Any one else got any news on this possible new firmware ? 0.9.3378:victory-045:

[gtg60]

Curious how the Firmware is listed as '0.9.3378 Azbox Elite HD'
NEVER seen a firmware written that way before and apart from the firmware number it looks no different to any other firmware so IMHO it's fake. :9898:

[hfmls]

it's not fake.
and in next couple a days we should have new firmware if all goes well. with bugfixes and some cool new stuff.

[Juka]

Let´s wait a couple of days, then... :sifone:

Regards
Juka :cheers2:

[goran]

Works OK... ;)

[enrico001u]

have you tested goran?
what are main diferences you notice?

thanks

[goran]

I have it for a while now but was on hols...:smash:

Looks solid, as far as I can say from here. After about 16 days of hols I came back and started it and Mbox was speeding - all working as if shot out from a cannon! :D :cheers2:

Whatever I tested in Elite was OK, apart for obvious problems with too many mediators, like the "interceptor" for CCcam, which makes it slow and unstable....

Also, still no support for Flash etc. in Browser, so no adding of IP channels etc., slow [W]LAN and USB transfer rates, no dual Sat TV tuner etc. etc.

I hope we get something really cool soon... Impatience is running high now, in all quarters, I see....:respect-051:

But new ones are being built on the results of that one, I hear...:sifone:

So, it might be worth the little longer wait, this time...???:respect-062:

[goran]

Btw, I was talking of the one in the title of the thread - I have that one, not the very new one...:ack2: Just to clear up that potential misunderstanding... ;):cheers2:

Thought you was talking about latest beta due this week, and thought to myself that sounds really bad, and no better than what we have now. :smash:
