Not much of a log.

fan on/off |


and yes we have an extra option on System settings to turn fan On/Off. Whoopie Do :)

[octet]

Subtitle problem still not fixed...

[hfmls]

whats with the changelog?!?!
are you guys so busy u can't write a changelog more complete? 5 seconds taken from your day?

[Tiptronic]

Fan? Mine doesnt have a fan? :D

[hfmls]

premium+ ..

[Juka]

I think they should turn on the AZBox fans! :D
But not with this releases... :sifone:

[Tiptronic]

lol, so ours are left to burn out then? is there a connector to add a fan on the normal premium?

[hfmls]

why burn out? we don't need any fan in elite.

premium+ has more hardware stuff. i dunno

[Tiptronic]

I got the normal premium

[crappy]

Disappointment #4348

[xanadu]

Maybe it's a software fan, so you don't actually need a hardware fan. :D :D :rofl:

[leerock]

Jesus....
These guys are going nowhere.......

[Smudger]

Not bad,
this suggestion was only asked for on the 19th Jan by a Plus user.


:grouphug:


other changes might have been included.

:)

[tx0]

FAN ON OFF? I'm SOOO Sorry but wtf? Is that what are we waiting for? The are plenty of unfixed bugs and thats what we got after a week??

[teenie]

Probably needs the fan when your using both tuners together http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/lol.gif

[Smudger]

also still looks at the old download page as default.


and I've set my fan to off.


Not that I've got a fan.

[denton]

Good to see they have their priorities right. FAN FIX Jeeeeeeez!

Lets hope the PVR function is working better too.

I can't understand they are joking (I hope):biggrinjester:.

OpenSAT / AZBox - 2009. All Rights Reserved
They take 1 week to manage a hidden fan?

Dear OPENSAT,
please don't joke with us!!!!
Please, do not waste what little credibility that has been with a release with unnecessary functionality.
Please do not joke with us, I can not believe that in a week you implemented 1 fan!!!!!!!
Try not to further exacerbate our minds ...
There are dozens and dozens of bugs that need to be fixed and features that need improvement.

I'd like OPENSAT definitively clarify its intent by drawing a roadmap with a minimum of dates (even approximate) for the solution of some known issues.
In all the companies there are planning (although not always respected), I hope that even in Opensat there is a minimum of planning.
I hope to recover this situation, Opensat have the courage to do an act of transparency.


I bought a Opensat device (azbox HD) but now I NEVER BUY another device made in Opensat!

[chrissat]

Can confirm fan on is working on the non + version.

At regular interviews I receive a pop up message on my Tv.



"Chrissat you are so great"

"Chrissat I love you for buying an azbox"

"Chrissat you're the best"

I feel so much happier now I have an Azbox fan.

[hfmls]

lol

[leerock]

Lol

[terrorman]

are laughing in our face, anyone who thinks otherwise?

when they finish 2 or 3 bug but, az is outdated, and we will all go on the clock with Bluray

[goran]

No proper changelog, no "How to" - and regularly?!? Well, at the bottom of it, I suppose, we could find:

1) English problems [Korean developers]

2) attitude problems [too many developers in general suffer from it]

3) incapacity to write in anything other than an "IT developing language", regardless of their mother tongue [maybe - if all of us could "read" the "0111100011100011000" type of messages?]

4) atrocious PR [OpenSat's failure of epic proportions...]

5) bad management - just one of many bad [non] decisions [hello, Hugo...]

6) who really cares what AZbox HD customers say - "OS/Celrun are on a mission"... [of self-discovery, so AZbox HD customers do not REALLY matter...]

Honestly, Hugo, do something, for crying out loud... It's your responsibility to manage those guys and fix those problems!

[goran]

Disappointment #4348

Maybe not: what if the goal was to "see if we can add this WITHOUT fuc*ing up 7 other functions" - and they succeeded???!!??:eek:

:king-041:

[hfmls]

i'm happy with current firmware...works ok for media center and watch TV.

but this is getting rediculous...all that "new firmware way" was forgotten!?

fan on/off

nice log!
i like my azbox. but im gonna use it in a non HD TV to watch movies and TV and never worry about it ever again.

and gonna buy maybe a dm500HD or dm800.

why? because zapping is way faster and support is awsome!
and they fix stuff that we use!!!

major bugs: zapping slow, openxcas wtf!?, network limitation, usb limitation.

chip sigma: ****ty image quality?! still??

opensat u're giving sigma a bad name. really.
i had a popcorn hour months ago. i remember SD upscaling with 1080p, it was amazing!!

now i watch a divx/xvid avi and codec is "shaking" and ALL LINES are "pixeling" every second. like christmas lights. blinking... it works...but what's up with quality, is that really that hard.

[SatSearcher]

Hmmmm. I just spent about the last week editing & moving all the hotbird channels into the order i wanted them in (not far off 1000 of them!), but couldn't remember what numbers they were on in the 'all channels' list, so went into the hotbird only list. After doing this, i noticed all channels had reverted back to the default position they were scanned in. Nice bug! At least i can spend another week editing & moving them again safe in the knowledge i can now turn the fan on or off! :banghead:

[cacul]

Wow, fan on/off amazing very quickly one weeks, one function.
Congratulations opensat.:respect-055::respect-040::podium-016::respect-053::o15::9898:

[Tomas Milian]

A week's work to implementing fan on/off :ack2:
I hope they forgot to write the changelog completely... :confused:

What's the point of being charged $ for a fan and then turning it off ???
Another design fault in Premium+ ?
They should rather allow for SPEED control...

[massimo1167]

They should rather allow for SPEED control...
What's the problem, give them the right time...maybe they need just a couple of month...


Ok I try to think: why they enable the function fan on/off?
There are noise problem? I think the best is to use better fan. because if fan is used for cooling, isn't a great idea to swith off by user...
Why not automaticaly switch on the fan when temperature is high?
If temperature is everytime high, why not use a more powerfull fan?

I don't like the option to switch off the fan, but if You can't improve the fan features, I'd like to define a working time and an idle time for the fan than switch of the fan by user.

[Yoda]

Usual bollox as expected with any OpenShat firmware release these days.
Its simple guys, lets all sell our Spazboxes and boycott the jokers, we can then spend our time doing something more productive like letting everyone we meet know how crap the support is.

I hope they never sell another crappy product again.

Yoda

[denton]

A week's work to implementing fan on/off :ack2:


I don't have a fan so can't tell if "fix" works...but at least they didn't f**k anything up that was already fixed in this firmware.

[crappy]

Maybe not: what if the goal was to "see if we can add this WITHOUT fuc*ing up 7 other functions" - and they succeeded???!!??:eek:

:king-041:

oke guys we are all:
1. joking;
2. cynical;
3. angry.
Whatever it might be, this s*cks. I really can't imagine there is one sensible soul who would buy a premium+ and has the knowledge we have. And Goran: I gave up hope that this Hugo will rescue this box. As I said before: ask some Indian company if they want to program and let them handle it. This is:
1. cheap;
2. fast.

I already ordered a new VU+ and I want to recommend everyone to do the same. Nobody with > 1 year of knowledge can be positive about Opensat.

:smash:

LOL give them time? anyone else find that amusing ?

People have been more than patient with this box but I think its ship has sailed!

Seems to be better value for money out there!

[MickeySa]

With latest firmware, i succeeded to play file with highest bitrate Sharp Aquos in m2s ( Bitrate 40 mbps ). This is very very good. So it should handle other without any problem.

using samba, nfs, usb harddisk, or internal harddisk?

[MickeySa]

I tryed with Internal and USB disk

Just think what could be achieved in a 100 years??????The mind boggles lol
Stavross:applause-038: :respect-020: :king-041:

[terrorman]

Hugo mother released the code, you see, you are not able not have the right people, open the code and let others do it, your failure has gone around the world, your prestige in Europe has fallen, we have stopped trust you, we no longer support them, and we've stopped buying more junk, open the code, and or have to leave Europe with his tail between his legs.

open-source Now

[terrorman]

I already ordered a new VU+ and I want to recommend everyone to do the same. Nobody with > 1 year of knowledge can be positive about Opensat.

:smash:

I have already asked for mine and my sponsor in Spain, you know what you need from this new device, I think it has good future, and the image is full compatible and E2 direct linia god

to those of az's going to throw in europe

[hfmls]

terrorman by the time u allready realized HUGO and OPENSAT CAN'T RELEASE the code right?


they don't own it!!
what they could release, they allready release it.
other stuff, they just can't!


sigma owns it.

[terrorman]

if opened nagra 1, 2 ..... pq does not open firmware :respect-051:

upload it to megaupload

[goran]

What: all the drivers, hfmls?

Celrun's code, too?

Hmmm...

[LEPERO85]

This brings me back terrorman
always with their sponsor (is my friend)
always with the same
and if you do not have azbox
for these again .....

[terrorman]

I have an elite and a premium among other devices.

and shortly a VU + Duo looks good

[hfmls]

goran probably yes.

if hugo could i bet he allready had release it all.
but he can't, that's 4 sure.


that's why we have to gave up in the source code thing.
we just have to make pressure so they can hire more/better coders :D

[terrorman]

what they have to do is hire the first programmers, if they do, they should throw away the firm, gasoline and fire, and start from 0 because they have no idea how this made the firm.

1 year ago in March I have my first az, works worse than 1 year

Somebody thinks that in 1 month or 2 or 1 more year ...

[kebien]

With latest firmware, i succeeded to play file with highest bitrate Sharp Aquos in m2s ( Bitrate 40 mbps ). This is very very good. So it should handle other without any problem.

You mean it played a m2TS file,a rip from a blu ray,correct?
And you say it was 40mbs bitrate from HDD attached to the box,correct?
Can you play any of those or you only tested one?


The problem was always record high bitrate channels,and play them back.
I can test that here.have some 40/64 mbs channels to test this on.

[MickeySa]

Yes, kebien, I played m2s file Sharp Aquos, ~5 min is duration of file, and about 6 GB's .

Please test also by yourself.

[leerock]

Yes, kebien, I played m2s file Sharp Aquos, ~5 min is duration of file, and about 6 GB's .

Please test also by yourself.

are you sure for that mickey?

have you actually tested it with usb?

if your statement is right , it means that usb limitations are lifted,
but i think it s not true coz they would add it in the changelog with CAPITAL LETTERS

[MickeySa]

Yes lee, i am sure 100%, please i ask also all other to test it. It plays nice.

[leerock]

well...
that s strange.....:confused:

have you tried it over net?

[hfmls]

gonna download one sample to check this out. m2s

[Tiptronic]

forwarding videos got pretty messed up

[simcan]

Some thing has changed on the USB!!

For the first time I could record on to my USB memory stick with out lock ups or brake ups.

You would have thought they could have mentioned this on their log..Odd people they are.:nopity:

[massimo1167]

goran probably yes.

if hugo could i bet he allready had release it all.
but he can't, that's 4 sure.



Who is Hugo?:redface:

[goran]

A tooth fairy I once met... ;)

See "meet Opensat" article in this section somewhere... :)

[Aragos]

The problem was always record high bitrate channels,and play them back.
I can test that here.have some 40/64 mbs channels to test this on.
Can anyone tell us which channels are transmitting with such a high bitrate? :confused:

[irishchris]

hugo condessa ceo opensat - soon to be ex ceo if things carry on

[kebien]

Can anyone tell us which channels are transmitting with such a high bitrate? :confused:

In America only

[tx0]

terrorman by the time u allready realized HUGO and OPENSAT CAN'T RELEASE the code right?

....

sigma owns it.


Are you joking? the are dozens of bugs that can be fixed even without support from sigma. Do they need sigma support to fix EPG? AFAIK - NO
to fix bugs in the GUI? Why they can't make this VFD from middle 80s show the correct channel while recording? why I can't get a correct list of scheduled recordings with the correct timings?

[FME_fta]

Yesterday I tried with this firmware to recording a SD channel to my problematic USB stick (8GB in FAT32) (I use a HUB).
And the result was the same as with an older firmware it stops recording after a short time and azbox freezes...

how do you expect this? AFAIK fat32 can handle 4gb max.

[stevie1961]

The 4 GB limit is per single file, not storage space, my 16GB works well

[FME_fta]

This firmware can play a MPEG2 file that 4295 couldn't.
It's a shame they don't put all the changes in the changelog.

[simcan]

I use a 8 GB class 4 micro SD (FAT32) in a USB stick reader.
Before this firmware, lock ups after a few minutes of recording.But so far no lock ups and the box is responsive when recording.

Will try a high bit rate mkv from the stick later on, when the TV is free.

[FME_fta]

I also use my (cheap) 8GB stick as USB2, I don't know if its related.
In PC I can record to this stick at 4.5MB/s.

[mbrsman]

This firmware can play a MPEG2 file that 4295 couldn't.
It's a shame they don't put all the changes in the changelog.

Ahaaa - that's because the fix to USB is one of their accidental changes made when working so hard on the fan on/off switch code! :D

[newsatbox]

Thanks to Zeini and Juka
New fw now loaded in just wating for some thing to go wrong hehe
did a complete reboot so in the process of loading in new sat/channels

Does any one no if the scan all frequency which i reckon must be the so called blind scan does only scan the symbol rate that you imput your self looking at reports me thinks theres a long way to go with this one and like alot of others it was a major reason for buying it.
Regards.
Norman.

[zeini]

Do you have a Premium Plus? Only this model support full blindscan.

[newsatbox]

Zeini

No Zeini just the Premium but i was informed that it was a form of blind scan as we can see a very limited form at that as i think it only scans the 22000/27500 symbol rate which as you and i no is'nt much use mind you it covers 95% of 28.2 having just scanned it.
Im waiting to see what any body else comes up with (posibly Chris M) before trying me luck to see if it will except a lower symbol rate as i've learnt with this machine creep before you walk.
Regards
Norman.

Thanks for the heads up:respect-020:

Can't understand how they introduced this bug in the first place :toetap05:
