Enigma 2 by The_ripper - TEST -

[rsl123]

@pingflood

Here they are, compiled by the_ripper :

usbhid.ko

usbkbd.ko

usbmouse.ko

To use usb keyboard and mouse there is one kernel module missing: uhci-hcd.ko

Needed modules are: hid.ko uhci-hcd.ko usbhid.ko usbkbd.ko usbmouse.ko

I've compiled uhci-hcd.ko. The mouse is working in Qt Webbrowser. The keyboard is recognized but not working.

Maybe, my module is not 100% compatible to the_rippers kernel!

* modules compiled by the_ripper + uhci-hcd.ko

http://hotfile.com/dl/79814413/5062dfc/usb-modules.zip.html
* copy the 'misc' folder to '/lib/modules/2.6.22.19-19-the_ripper/kernel/'
* make

depmod -a
* reboot the box with connected mouse/keyboard
* all usb devices are listed in

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

someone is able to use the keyboard?

[The_Ripper]

I attached uhci-hcd.ko module

[onzifonzi]

@The_Ripper

Could you build cifs module if you have some time?
I have not big USB flash to play movie on E2 AzBox without this module :(

Thank you in advance!

I'm glad to see E2 get better and better with every new build!
Good luck

[jojo10]

maybe this one helps

@onzifonzi
CIFS is allready enabled inside kernel.

CIFS is allready enabled inside kernel.

Ohh thanks ...
I'm a stupid guy

Here is syntax for mount windows share:
mount -t cifs \\\\IPofWINDOWS\\sharename /media/net -o username=user,pass=password

But is there any issue with MP? I'm seeing black screen and no sound when play(green button) avi file from mounted share :(

[kevinch9]

mount - t cifs.....
invalidad argument

[onzifonzi]

Try exactly what I wrote just replace IPofWINDOWS and share ...

It works !

YES :) \\\\ before IP and \\ before share

[**esp**]

My 1st test as Premium+ user. 1.0.30

Overall very good and impressive. :)

Used Diseq 1.2 with vbox ok

I have scanned my own channels successfully, but with some BBC channels have SID not found in PAT errors on 28E.
Intermittent no sound which is a known issue.

One Problem Found.
I can crash the image in Positioner Setup when press the Left Curser button on the remote when Tune is highlighted.


Congratulations to The Ripper and his team on resurrecting the Azbox :)

[The_Ripper]

@onzifonzi
You must contact sattomy regarding MP , he is maintainer of the dvbmediasink plugin for Azbox/Sigma.
Paste some info regarding AVI/MKV file you tried to play ...

[pingflood]

@kevinch9, here in satpimps I can't yet answer by PM, so I'll answer here.
I think that your question regarding the installation of Arora/QT Webbrowser without and HDD could be useful for another pals.

I think you must have an hdd in order to install Arora/QT Webbrowser.

If you have, try with this package:

http://rapidshare.com/#!download|377|408951593|enigma2-plugin-extensions-webbrowser_0.1.20.1_mipsel.ipk|58 238

Also, as stated by @rsl123, the installation package search for automount device named /dev/sd*1.
On E2 the harddisk is mapped on /dev/hdb. So you must remap devices to installer:


ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/sdb
ln -s /dev/hdb1 /dev/sdb1

Then, install the package:


opkg install /path/to/enigma2-plugin-extensions-webbrowser_0.1.20.1_mipsel.ipk

Is needed about 150mb of free space.

After this, reboot AzBox and remake the links, again with:


ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/sdb
ln -s /dev/hdb1 /dev/sdb1

And start the webbrowser.

If you don't have an hdd, you can try to link sdb* as sda* in all previous steps.


ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/sda
ln -s /dev/hdb1 /dev/sda1

I don't know if this will work, but worth a try. :)

Remembering, as stated by @shklifo, here are the devices used in E2:


1) hda (/dev/hda) is the DOM and the partitions are hda1,hda2 etc.
2) hdb (/dev/hdb) is the internal hard disk with partitions like hdb1, hdb2 etc.
3) sda (/dev/sda) is the first attached usb device with his partitions sda1, sda2 etc
4) sdb (/dev/sdb) is the second attached usb device with the partitions sdb1, sdb2 etc

Tomorrow I'll start testing better the modules and browser. I'll try to patch the installer to use /dev/hdb1 firstly then /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1.

Any news I'll share here.

Luck and regards.

[onzifonzi]

@sattomy,

Here is the little dmesg log from my elite box (1.0.30) when I try to play avi file.
The same avi I've played yesterday with 1.0.29.


@The_Ripper

Where can we put startup scripts or commands?

Diseqc 1.2 Positioner Setup Problem

Limits Off using Red button does not seem to disable the limits of my positioner for me?

EDIT**

My Dreambox is the same so it must be something else causing it and not Azbox E2.

I've ordered a new VBox as mine is very old and no support available. That should fix my problem. :)

[gtg60]

Posted elsewhere but in case you didn't know Enigma 2 v1.0.31 is out

Devices suitable for flashing : Elite - Premium - Premium+ - Ultra

What is new :

- Added support for DVB-S2 Tuner in Ultra model

- Volume UP and Down Mute and Un-Mute for all models

- Few more fixes

Hello,

You are not in rescue mode, you are in normal E2 mode.
Simply insert a USB stick with "patch.bin" not "azbox-0.9.5020-patch.bin" and reboot.
So at boot rescue mode will search for and detect "patch.bin", then you will see the IP in the VFD, start Azup.exe on your PC and complete the IP address and press update.

Pr2

Thanks for your reply Pr2,

I have tried a USB stick with various patch.bin on and that did not work, I have even tried 4 different USB sticks from 4gbs to 1gbs.

Azup is stating "you have a NEW kernel in your Azbox" but it can't find rescue mode, so I presume because it knows there is a new kernel, I am using the correct IP address even though the VFD is not showing an IP address, I think the box is not responding to the USB stick in other words it is not loading the new patch on the front or back USB port.

On boot up with a patched USB the box states booting, VFD ready, shows a load of symbols and after that a load of random numbers with what looks like this # next to the numbers. This is what it gave out on the last bootup with a USB stick: 63# 100# 70# 100# 63# 100# 63# 100# 69# 100# 50# 100# 50# 100# 50# 100# 54# 100# it then stays on 100

I am not getting the clogs E2 pages or menu's so I don't think it is in normal E2 mode.

James.

[gorgeit]

i had the same problem , but it turned out to my connection to the tv .
on one im connected by scart and on the other hdmi .
i thought it didnt work until i looked at the hdmi feed and was there try jiggling your cables around

[pingflood]

First update about qt webbrowser subject:

1. If you don't have an hdd, if you do

opkg install /path/to/enigma2-plugin-extensions-webbrowser_0.1.20.1_mipsel.ipk it will install on usb drive connected.
Just make sure you have enough free space for the installation (about 150MB).
You don't need to remap drives with symlinks.

After install, just reboot with usb drive connected and check plugins.

2. I have patched the installer to try to install in hdd first. If no hdd, then it will install on usb drive. I'll do some testings and if it's ok I'll upload the package somewhere.

press OK button on remote control when you see VFD READY...

press OK button on remote control when you see VFD READY...

I did try that earlier but will give it another go later...will also try on the box itself as well.

[onzifonzi]

Hi,

Is in 1.0.31 a fixed tunner driver which supports Elite,Premium,Premium+ and Ultra ?

Thanks

[The_Ripper]

@jamesjay
Can you pls connect box to the composite out (analog) and check, in current HDMI code HotPlug doesnt work, ofcourse if you havent tried this yet.

EDIT: One more thing, when you telnet to receiver you will know that you are in rescue mode if you see this


Powered by The Ripper, telesat && MickeySa ;)

and if you are in E2 and telnet, I think this you will see

@ The_Ripper

I was using a scart cable not HDMI, I have tried with a composite cable from the video out of the box, to the composite in on my TV, which is a Panasonic plasma...and there is no difference, I have noticed however that when I was using the scart cable there was a very quick flash on the top of the black/blank TV screen but don't know if this is relevant.

I have telneted using putty and I am getting opendreambox 1.0.5 Azbox, I don't think I have seen any of the ones you have qouted...I have to go out now but will have a play again later with the composite cable in and report back to you.

Thanks again for help.

James.

[gravatasufoca]

Will You work on ISDB-T tuner too?

[andriorn]

Is anyone else getting lag on picture of sat channels?
Is this part of the Timer thing that is a known issue?
I am using AZBox Premium, with the newest E2 version 1.0.31 on Astra 2

Here is the QT Webbrowser plugin patched to install on E2. The installer will look for room in the following order:
1. /dev/hdb1
2. /dev/sdb1
3. /dev/sda1

Remember to have at least 150MB free in order to install and that this proccess take a couple of minutes.

Download here:

http://www.multiupload.com/39SI45BQOA

The browser still not very responsive and here it has some screen resolution issues.
I saw some scriptings in the installer about this and will take a look other time.

Mouse works fine (not very good, but fine). Later I'll check how keyboard works with it.

If you have some experience, share with us. :)

@e2 team

please don´t ban me because of this question...

Is there any time frame for the audio timer?

To be honest, it´s the only bug forcing me to stay on the official beta... (and my wife:-))

hi all,

does somebody know when the ci slots are working?
thanks for answer in advance !

You guys, the team is working, so sit and wait for the releases.

Everiting in its time.

Problems changing channels with v .31 (used .29 before). Channels "hang" and I can only get back to a moving video by changing to the channel I came from. I should also add that I had problems using the first driver for the premium (that was solved a day or 2 later).

@ The_Ripper

Using a composite or scart cable made no difference, i don't get an IP address I have been using filezilla to look at the files "update" and "backup_kernel" to see if they are in the right directory with "update" being 755 Chmod and they are where they should be...when I putty this command: ./update /MMP/backup_kernel
I get the reply -SH: ./update: not found

If I try to flash any firmware using a USB stick the box just bypasses the stick regardless of if it is the oldest or newest original opensat firmware...I even tried flashing E2 1.0.30 and that didn't work.

I can connect to the box with DCC, filezilla, putty, ACC, and even when I use Azup I get a connection but it responds with a box saying "No rescue mode!!!" "Put patch.bin on your USB stick, reboot and try again", so I must have corrupted the E2 download somehow and I am missing files?

Thanks for putting up with me!!!

Installed browser and all usb-stuff after I realised that they are not included in the browser pack.

You can try to customize the keymap for this.

Take a look at @neutrino keymap here:
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141557

Does your keyboard works in any other plugin, or this issue is just with webbrowser?

[rsl123]

Hadn't realized that the keyboard is working in the menus. I can also use the keyboard in other plugins. Only not in the web browser.
But something must be wrong with the driver: caps-lock and num-lock can't get be activated.

And, in Qt browser the mouse moves only when the sat tv is not spluttering...

[kelddamsbo]

I have found out there is not any usb to seriel driver in the present image.
I need ftdi_sio.ko and usbserial.ko for my P+.
Can I just take them from the original firmware ?
How di I install them, just some modprobe ?
I need them for CCcam to use my smargo cardreader.

Thanks to the DDamir and the_ripper - VFD fixed on Elite/Premium/Premium+ ( Showing all actions on VFD ) , P+ and Ultra FAN Control, Standby ( it is under work, as the power button is not yet mapped and it is used also for REBOOT ).

Anyone got working Media player on latest firmware 1.0.31
For me swaping libdvbmediasink files did not work.
I have Premium model

[moicas3004]

@ Team

Take you time, and see if you can solve the tunners problem with sound before lunching new image.

We dont new to have new image every couple of days. just try to sort the priority stuff first.

And we , user , just have to wait. Is better.

Great job so far.

[pingflood]

For me mediaplayer didn't worked too.

I thought it was because of many testings I was doing, thats why I didn't reported.
Now, that you said, maybe could be a general problem on 1.0.31.

I totally agree with moicas, i think stc timmers fix should be no.1 priority because when thats fixed we can use E2 as primary software. The VFD en remote control is nice, but sound is a bigger issue right now. I know there a different teams working on different things. But hope that the sound issue will solved soon.

But for now great job with every new alpha not only the numbers change like with opensat FW, but the software is actually improving :respect-046:

[pingflood]

@moicas3004,

I think that as they don't work by "transpiration", as working by "inspiration" sometimes the solution for one problem could appear before another, not in a linear time.

The rhythm of the development is going is far better that any of us could expect.

Let's enjoy, help as possible, learn a lot and leave them work as they wish. :D

Like you ... I also confirm that on AZBox Premium ... Mediaplayer does not work ... Nothing ... if you check with dmesg ... not successfully set audio & video decoder ... obviously does not work either play of video from Youtube !!!

1.0.31 installed without issue on my Ultra. I know its only alpha and much work to be done but amazing to see it working. big thanks to The_ripper and team :applause-003:


the premium + and ultra both have hardware blindscan, will a separate plug-in be needed or is that functionality something on the list to be added directly to E2?

Hey guys, thanks for the hard work!!

I have a suggestion for the long future: can you implement closed caption support? I have some deaf relatives and I can't watch Azbox with them, because it has no Closed Caption. =(

I'm stucked on 'booting', whenever the USB key is inserted, or not.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

[digihoe]

I think this is the answer to your question, I presume when all is done there will be a new release.



Just wondering how many are stuck on the first test version of E2 because they don't get a VFD IP address on reboot...it's not just me is it?

If your were and you sorted it please post.


Thanks

James.

Use LAN (WiFi will not work at all) cable connected to a DHCP (computer or router) server, restart the box with the USB containing patch.bin. IP should show, if nothing has went bad.
Be sure to use a crossover cable if you connect to a computer and that DHCP really is working.

Do you have an internal HDD? If so try disconnecting it and reboot without it connected. If not working try formating the DOM. And try to boot again.
I had this problem (on offical FW) with a HDD that went bad (bad sectors/boot sectors/partition error).

Hi!

It's premium, but no HDD connected. Will try to format DOM today.

Thanks for idea!

How do I format DOM please

How do I format DOM please

It looks like standart 3,5" IDE socket, so I will connect it to normal IDE socket in PC and format to.... ext2

Thanks for the quick reply,Ill try that now

[kebien]

You can also try to get the box ip from the router logs,because if the box is connected to the lan,the router should have the box IP showing in the logs.
And the MAC too.
This happen if you have a router to split your network.

Or you can use DCC (dreambox control center) that has a function to search for all IP's present in the lan.
You surely can get the box IP by elimination (by knowing the IP of your connected devices)

[croat]

btw. for the ones having problems with wlan ...

read the README included in wlan.zip also and edit rt61sta.dat to your needs as described in the file , reupload the file and restart your ra0.

[crawley]

The people with the VFD, count yourselves lucky! I have an Ultra with no VFD so had to guess the IP. hehe :)

[kebien]

That's because you didn't know about DCC.(and others)
The IP doesn;t need to be "guessed" ,only need to be found,and DCC can do that for you in a minute.

[arcibald]

The people with the VFD, count yourselves lucky! I have an Ultra with no VFD so had to guess the IP. hehe :)

In these cases ... it would be sufficient to use the programs that make to IP address scan on your network! ;)

An example: Angry IP Scanner ... search with google !!!

How could this help?
If your AzBox doesn't have an IP, where DCC/Angry IP Scanner will point?

Better you configure your DHCP server properly instead waste your time with all this workarounds.

Thanks for your advice M8...I think something has gone bad in my case, I never used WiFi always cable connected to a router, and I have crossover cable from my lappy to my router and the router is connected to the box, I can get the Azbox's IP address from DCC and can connect with every application except for Azup, I can even go into my router's attached devices and confirm connection and the box's IP address, but when I put the IP address in Azup and try to update I get "you have a new Kernel in your Azbox", but I then get a box saying "no rescue mode" "Put a patch.bin on your USB stick, reboot and try again"

Off and on been messing with this for a few days now and trying various things, but recently I have been getting a mosaic and then after that a green screen when using scart or component cable, I know I am using the correct IP address because I can filezilla, so I think that I need to force the patch somehow or to add something when in filezilla to get the Box to respond to the USB stick. The only other option is to format the DOM but I need an idiots type step by step guide to do this and I can't find one.

Thanks again,
James.

It seems obvious that the messages were addressed to the holders of Ultra HD model (without VFD) ... ;)

For the rest ... simply enable DHCP and possibly control the devices connected to the router's web browser page!

You need to read AND understand.
Ultra doesn't have VFD,so this is not a workaround,is a must do.

DCC scans the network,as well as others do,and find the box's IP,no guesses involved.

Hi Smudger M8,

Not sure if you were referring to my post or not but if you were...I had already tried front and back USB ports no joy.

Thanks

[arcibald]

What model of Azbox ... Premium or Elite?

Read this chance to recover! HERE (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=761987&postcount=9)

If you have a storage device that is seen, copy the patch.bin (ex. 0.9.5020) on /dev/xxxx and mount the cramfs on it ... and then reload the old kernel (Opensat) ... at new reboot ... you can regain access to USB Upgrade menu, where you can reformat DOM and reinstall what you want ! ;)

[zfeet]

"you have a new Kernel in your Azbox", but I then get a box saying "no rescue mode" "Put a patch.bin on your USB stick, reboot and try again"


Do you actually have patch.bin on your USB stick and has it been formatted as FAT32?

[pingflood]

You need to read AND understand.
Ultra doesn't have VFD,so this is not a workaround,is a must do.

DCC scans the network,as well as others do,and find the box's IP,no guesses involved.

For my Ultra I just enter in router's web interface and check Ultra assigned IP by DHCP.
No guessing or workaround needings.

Also, as my router's DHCP remember devices by MAC, IP is always the same, using original fw or using E2 firmware.

Anyway, you could also install a bunch of other software to do that same thing. :) User's choice.

I didn't say that use a IP scanner or other tool are the wrong way for Ultra.
I meant that in cases where your box don't get an IP none of this tools should help.

Since version 1.0.31 new FIX's are :

- VFD trough AzBoxVFD Plugin ( Channel name, Time etc. )

- Standby function

- HDMI Loop ( hotplug )


As there is new progress, all fix and changes will be written here.

Hi Zfeet,

Yes, I have even bought some new 2GB ones which were formatted fat32, so I have tried 5 different makes of USB stick from 1GB to 4 GB all formatted fat32.

Thanks M8 any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

What's a HDMI Loop?

[**esp**]

What's a HDMI Loop?

Not sure, but there is a problem with HDMI locking up the Azbox, so maybe this is to do with hotplug and is now fixed?

[kebien]

What's a HDMI Loop?

Is probably how hotplug works for hdmi.
When hdmi cable is connected it should be detected and video output should restart with HDMI enabled,as in a loop.
I think is a condition of hotplug

Hi M8,

That would be impossible I cannot load anything with a USB stick, I have tried to load other versions of E2 but the USB ports are not responding on my box. I know how to use applications for FTP and Telneting but that was for only simple tasks with Opensat stuff, I have no real experience with Dreambox's and real coding.

If it was possible to override the E2 version I have by transfer another version of E2 via filezilla I would, but I don't know where to put the file, or for that matter what Telnet commands I would need to get it going. Having looked at a post that explained how to return to Opensat firmware by using Filezilla and Telnet, the Telnet commands looked very complicated for a novice, and I would probably do more harm than good.

I got this advice from Arcibald.

"If you have a storage device that is seen, copy the patch.bin (ex. 0.9.5020) on /dev/xxxx and mount the cramfs on it ... and then reload the old kernel (Opensat) ... at new reboot ... you can regain access to USB Upgrade menu, where you can reformat DOM and reinstall what you want !"
I can find dev, but don't know what xxxx or mount the cramfs means.

So following these instructions from Slarva,

You can recovery manually to original firmware like this, you must have harddisk inside the box and original patch.bin (copy it with ftp program like FileZilla) in there too:
telnet (use Putty or something else) to box
mkdir /hdb
mount /dev/hdb1 /hdb
dd if=/hdb/patch.bin of=/hdb/patch.cra bs=56 skip=1
then will be the cramfs be mounted whith loop
mkdir /Patch
mount -o loop /hdb/patch.cra /Patch
dd if=/Patch/FLASH/loader.bin skip=512 of=/dev/mtdblock4 bs=1024
reboot box

is not going to go well, I am sure if I had a better knowledge of coding then I could do it but I am not confident so could end up with a completely dead box.

Kind regards
James.

[Sjaak66]

Did my first test with the latest E2 version, but no go.
Sharp tele couldn't find HDMI or SCART at all.
Went back one version to .30 and it worked but no sound at all.
Anyway my disecq was ok (10 lnb on WaveFrontier), scans ok.
Looks very promising.
I'm going to wait for the first Beta release.
Keep up the good work team thank fo so far !!

@jamesjay

Have you tried this... https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141544

I think you need Step. 7 onwards if you have read the tutorial, as you can already FTP/Telnet your box?

Step 7

Now let’s go to transfer the necessary files to the box using FTP
To do this, we connect with our favorite FTP client (I use filezilla). You have to enter the IP address we got on previous step. The user is root, and the password is azbox, as usual. Copy files (Files are in the Files folder of this tutorial):
backup_kernel : Copy it to /MMP on the box
update : Copy it to /tmp on the box


Step 8

Return to the putty windows, where it asks login and password.
The user is root, and the password azbox.
Type:
cd /tmp (We move to /tmp directory)
chmod a+x update (We give the file run permission)
./update /MMP/backup_kernel (start restoration)
The process will begin, and will show progress.
When the process completes, the decoder will reboot, and will come to life!
We have 100% operational box with the original firmware!
Now, we can flash the firmware we want. Don’t forget to make a “Format Application Area” to clean up remnants of previous firmware

If you do not feel safe and do not know Linux very well, you can still try the @Telesat procedure ... that MickeySa showed in the first post:

BACK TO ORIGINAL FW (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=736014&postcount=1) ...


If You have problem with E2 and want to go back to the original FW, as this is beta version :

Download file BACK TO ORIGINAL FW.rar , attached to this post.

First DELETE 2 pictures from the MMP directory !!! and than transfer this files !!!

Put file update in the /tmp directory and give CHMOD 755 .

Also , put the file backup_kernel in /MMP directory .

Connect to telnet, and run this command :

./update /MMP/backup_kernel

NOTE: Also You can put this files on usb and run them from it !!!

After, that flash AzBox with original fw, that is all.

M8,

In software development project, it is commonly known that 80% of work is done in 20% of time, the 20% of work left takes 80% of time.
So today, we could say that The_Ripper and his team have already developped most essential functionnalities of E2 for Azbox. So now it is time to stabilise E2 and this is the most difficult task.

I cannot thank you enough M8...I was missing this bit:

cd /tmp (We move to /tmp directory)
chmod a+x update (We give the file run permission)

As soon has I followed those instructions the box accepted the update, and it got me back to the Opensat upgrade page, from there I was able to load 0.9.4219 and I have now updated to 0.9.5020 so back to the firmware I had before testing E2.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that tried to help me over the last couple of days I was beginning to think my box was dead forever...just at a time when E2 was making it into a box worth having.

Many Thanks and Kind Regards.

Well said, I agree with you 100%...but I am not sure if I restored the box and reverted to opensat firmware how it was intended.

I think running this: "cd /tmp chmod" then "a+x update" caused the E2 firmware to crash and forced the box back to the opensat upgrade page.

I am just grateful to the members that helped me even when they were suggesting something I had already attempted.

Cheers,
James.

Good to hear you got your box working jamesjay :)

At least we know that method does work and should help a lot of people.

If you are going to try E2 again, then I would opt for v1.0.30 as that's the version I am running in my P+

Make sure you don't remove the USB stick until after the box has rebooted, and then you may have to put the USB back in again if E2 does not run, then reboot Azbox with the USB stick in which should put it in Rescue mode showing the IP if you have router attached, and then use Azup to install the E2 again with your box IP.

[SPF]

Jamesjay, I'm glad you got your box working again. I completely understand the relief that you must have felt when it came back to life!

I've been struggling to find a solution to my problems for nearly two weeks, now and I've tried different fixes without finding a solution. In fact, I have now made things worse because I cannot even connect with telnet or filezilla now. I think things have got worse through a combination of my inexperience with linux and my own stupidity.

I started out as described in post #1673 https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=761133&postcount=1673 and was quite rightly told by leao6 to go and read more. At that point the display showed the box’s IP Address and I could connect via telnet, filezilla and serial cable.

I have read every post several times now and tried these fixes without success:

When I tried the fix in
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?p=761166#post76116 6
I connected with the serial cable and followed the process through and it all seemed to go smoothly until I could not connect through tftp no matter how many times I repeated the process and tried various changes in the program settings. After this the display changed to show Booting, Gecko IP and the box’s IP address.

When I tried the fix in
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=736442&postcount=117
it all seemed to be going smoothly but got stuck in rebooting. I switched the box off and on again. Since then I now have the display showing Err:NO_DISK, Connect AS. I can no longer connect through telnet or filezilla and the IP Address is no longer showing.

I am sorry to bother you guys when my problems seem partly down to my own stupidity, but I am unable to work this out myself. Can anyone help me with this? It’s driving me crazy!

Hi,

i've installed CCcam and NewCS in EII 1.0.30 but the internal cardreader seems not working. Is it possible to read the smartcard in the internal reader or in Smargo or is it necessary to share the card in another Box?
I tried S.G.C and Glass UnivCam-Manager to install CCcam and NewCS but both without results.

Internal Reader does not work because there is no /dev/sci0
Smargo does not work because there is no FTDI-Driver installed.
Does anybody have a source for this driver?

Jamesjay, I'm glad you got your box working again. I completely understand the relief that you must have felt when it came back to life!

I've been struggling to find a solution to my problems for nearly two weeks, now and I've tried different fixes without finding a solution. In fact, I have now made things worse because I cannot even connect with telnet or filezilla now. I think things have got worse through a combination of my inexperience with linux and my own stupidity.

I started out as described in post #1673 https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=761133&postcount=1673 and was quite rightly told by leao6 to go and read more. At that point the display showed the box’s IP Address and I could connect via telnet, filezilla and serial cable.

I have read every post several times now and tried these fixes without success:

When I tried the fix in
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?p=761166#post76116 6
I connected with the serial cable and followed the process through and it all seemed to go smoothly until I could not connect through tftp no matter how many times I repeated the process and tried various changes in the program settings. After this the display changed to show Booting, Gecko IP and the box’s IP address.

When I tried the fix in
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=736442&postcount=117
it all seemed to be going smoothly but got stuck in rebooting. I switched the box off and on again. Since then I now have the display showing Err:NO_DISK, Connect AS. I can no longer connect through telnet or filezilla and the IP Address is no longer showing.

I am sorry to bother you guys when my problems seem partly down to my own stupidity, but I am unable to work this out myself. Can anyone help me with this? It’s driving me crazy!

Hi SPF,

As I am a novice and because I was in so much of a mess myself it is quite difficult to help you.

The first thing you need to do is get Filezilla and Putty connecting with your box again. I had times when my box wouldn't connect to my PC with those applications and I was told to turn the box off unplug it from the mains for a while and even to disconnect the box from the router (if your using one), are you using a crossover cable when connecting your PC to your box? I went into the routers webpage and checked the attached devices to make sure the box's IP address had not changed, you can also do this with Dreambox Control Centre or DCC.

I turned my router off for 10 minutes or so to try and force the box to connect when I turned it on again, and although I am not advising you to do this I even turned the AZbox off and on quickly using the power switch at the back to force it to connect.

By the way I tried the fixes you have tried...but the advice that **ESP** gave me a few pages or so back is the one that helped most...but remember what caused my box to fail is not necessarily the same as your box's failure

Good luck
James.

@ spf
i had booting too, mine is fixed
Now we are on Yamon console. It shows a command interpreter YAMON>
First is to initialize the network interface.
Introduce the following, pressing Enter after each line

setenv bootserver 192.168.1.64 (IP address of your computer)
setenv gateway 192.168.1.254 (router address)
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.55 (IP address you want for AZBox)
setenv subnetmask 255.255.255.0 (network mask)
net init (initializes network)
net up (gets up network interface)

Well, we already have network connection in the box (although it does not have telnet, ftp, or anything else)

Step 4
Download and install TFTPd32

Thanks, James

I'll try your suggestions next.
I have afeeling that ESP's suggestion might have solved my problem last night. It looks like the difference from what I tried was the "a+x update" part.

I am searching for links to info about putting the flash drive into a portable USB HDD caddy. This might help but I won't know until I read up about it.

Thanks for your feedback

I can still connect with the serial cable. This is what comes up in Putty when I reboot the box:

That's mean that your four or fifth partition of thr NOR flash is damaged.
To find out who you have to let the box showing the next steps till it stopped by himself (don't interrumpt Ctrl-C the Yamon loader).
When it's stop, will show us the error and we can find then the exact problem the box have.
For the forth partition problem you (linux kernel) you have to load a linux kernel via tftp server and mount a usb device with the kernel and flash it.

For the 5 partition is more simple, you can flash a dump file of that partition (i or anybody can make a dump and let you have it) or just mount that dump file on a directory (you can do it because your kernel is working in that case) and copy recursively (cp -R) all the files on DISK1 (this is the mount point of the 5 partition of the NOR flash) like following:
$ mount|grep mtd
/dev/mtdblock5 on /DISK1 type jffs2 (rw,noatime)

But first lets us know where is your problem posting the entire log of the serial connection.

I got to this stage before but could not connect through TFTPd32. Do you know what the settings should be for this program. I am unsure if it is a change in settings that is required here but I have tried everything I can think of.

Another problem to be solved first is to disable hardware acceleration ... ;)

Thanks to @VVZ ... on Pristavka.de
To restore the default clock ... just set this variable xenv in YAMON console:


YAMON> setxenv -b x.pll3 0x01020057


Reboot and new set is ready ...

It scrolled down as far as check hda and seemed to stop. I was just about to copy and paste that for you and it started to scroll more. I now have an Upgrade screen on my TV and the box displaying UPDATE:USB. This seems like progress. Just to have something on the TV screen seems like a miracle after 2 weeks without a picture!

What should I do next?

Arcibald, can I remove the hardware acceleration from this point?

Thanks, guys.

Stephen

[arcibald]

Yes ... but reboot after ! Before you try to UPDATE USB Procedure ...

Regards

Arci

[SPF]

Thanks, Arcibald

Having seen some progress, now I want to make sure that every step I take is the right one. Should I choose Boot without update from the upgarde screen?

Thanks
Stephen

[arcibald]

No better to reformat DOM and after ... Update with official Opensat Firmware (ex. 0.9.5020) ... ;)

Then you can try to install your version enigma2 ...

But I recommend to everyone ... Do not enable hardware acceleration!

Arci

Yes Srephen, all is ok, you just have DOM (hda) corrupted, but flash is ok.
If you would know the storage of azbox is here (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=763345&postcount=2153) explained.

For DOM just hoping that is no harware problem.
To find out just install from the menu of usb stick a official firmware.

[SPF]

Arci

That command seemed to be accepted in Yamon.

Shklifo

Is it significant that it does not scroll past 'check hda' until I press Ctrl+C to copy the log?

When I insert a flash drive into the front or rear USB port , 'Please insert USB storage' is displayed on the TV.

What exactly do I need to do to the DOM?

Thanks, especially for spending time on this on a Saturday night!

[shklifo]

For the DOM, if it is not a hardware problem, you can resolve it by installing a official firmware, but as i see you got the problem with usb sticks? Have you formatted them before in fat32 and with patch.bin on the root of the usb stick?
Do you get the update menu to process with a firmware update?

[SPF]

Shklifo

When I insert a flash drive into the front or rear USB port and select upgrade 1. USB, 'Please insert USB storage' is displayed on the TV.

When I select upgrade 2. Network, 'Not supported yet Press any key to retrun main menu' is displayed on the TV.

When I select upgrade 3. OTA, 'Not supported yet Press any key to retrun main menu' is displayed on the TV.

When I select upgrade 5. Boot without update, the box displays 'Starting' but just seems to hang until rebooted.

I have not tried upgrade 4. Format application area.

I have been using the same flash drives that have always been successful in upgrading firmware up until now. These are formatted in fat32. I have tried to load azbox-0.9.5020-patch.bin after renaming the file as patch.bin

The logs seem to suggest to me that the USB ports are active yet they do not seem to work. I notice that it does not seem to find my HDD either.

Does any of this help?

[shklifo]

The option 2 and 3 isn't working (internet and OTA).
The 4-th option just cancel anything from DOM
The update by option 1 is strange. From the log i can see that the usb modules are Ok and insert, that let me think that usb stick isn't working proprely. Do you have another one to try?
For HDD the log is saying that nor DOM or intenal HDD (hdb1) isn't recognize.
So, can you atach 2 usb stich or 1 usb and a external HD tpo both of usb ports and bring here the last 50 lines of log? What happend when you let the log scorring, do you get a commans prompt?

Hi SPF,

I had a problem at this point too, I loaded an older version of firmware 0.9.4219 you should be able to get it from here h**p://fw.azupd.nl/ not a live link, and I also formatted the USB stick fat32 before using it...I changed the name to just patch after putting it on the stick, after that firmware loaded and I was able to go to 0.9.5020

Hope this helps

James.

[SPF]

I have reformatted another flash drive in fat32 and copied the Opensat patch.bin file to it. I have inserted a USB flash drive into both ports and rebooted. When I let Yamon scroll without pressing Ctrl+C to break it gives the following log but again only goes past hda when I press Ctrl+C. I don't understand why it does this!

repair or replace the DOM?

Have a search around I've seen somwhere guy's reformat DOM on IDE cable with PC. more then likely uisng ubuntu.

Or maybe use Ext2Fsd then no need to use Ubuntu
I use it with win 7 as long as you "Run as Admin" Great for tranfering to HDD through pc direct.

I am sure that I saw something about this yesterday. Trying to find it now.

stavross
I have just installed Ext2Fsd and once I've read up on what I need to do I'll maybe use that if it means that I don't have to install and get familiar with Ubuntu.

This is a really steep learning curve for me. I have been constantly searching, reading and re-reading posts in most of my spare time for the last 2 weeks. Still, what good is a hobby if it does not stay interesting and challenging! I really appreciate the help that everyone here has given me so far.

Still, what good is a hobby if it does not stay interesting and challenging! I really appreciate the help that everyone here has given me so far.

Thanks
Stephen

I'll look around to see if I can find what I read.

[far451]

If you do a goggle search using the words 'AZBox Elite IDE recording', there is an excellent article on how to add IDE drives to an Elite.
It replaces the DOM with one drive and sets up a second drive as a PVR device.

[richy18]

Have a search of this thread.

I know internal is not is not working yet but I sure I read some solution for external reader.

Hi Smudger,

yes I have read the thread but I haven't found a working solution. The problem is as described... no smargo or phoenix drivers found.

I also do not know where the kernel-log is??? Neigher /var/log nor /tmp or dmesg contains usefull information - so I am blind :cool:

If anybody has a working solution I would appreciate a reference :respect-061:

Thanks in advance

Why ?
When there is not much new yet it's useless to make new version everytime.
Let the team take there time and when there is good progress to test then we'll see it soon enough.

Sorry... haven't seen it.

I've just installed DS3. Looks good... but... same problem with Smargo as described above.

If I activate the FTDI-module in the kernel-module-manager nothing happens.
If have neighter a ftdi-driver (lsmod) nor a usb-device to connect. If I plug in the smargo nothing happens. I see also no kernel-logs...

It's a pitty because I look pay-tv only.

Any other ideas?

[4@@@@]

Plugin the smargo then check with "dmesg" if it is recognized.
And maybe
cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial

should give something like

0: module:ftdi_sio name:"FTDI USB Serial Device" vendor:0403 product:6001 num_ports:1 port:1 .....

Then you have to load usbserial.ko with insmod and then the ftdi_driver.ko.

If this will not load you also missed usbcore. Or try to use modprobe if available.

Smargo is working with the original software so there is no reason to not work with E2.

dmesg shows me nothing if I plug in smargo!

/proc/tty/driver/usbserial does not exist!

usbserial.ko does not exist (have made a search with "find / -name usbserial* -print")

I suppose where is simply no driver in the kernel. Maybe I need to re-install the driver? But where do I get these kernel-modules?

[SPF]

Following suggestions from Smudger and Far451 I followed a guide to replacing the DOM with an IDE HDD.

I removed the DOM and attached one IDE HDD to my Premium and powered it from my PC. The original guide described how to replace the DOM and run the firmware from a master HDD and record onto a slave HDD but I only connected one HDD.

After booting I got the Upgrade screen and selected 4. Format application area. A message indicated that the formatting was completed.

ON rebooting I again got the Upgrade screen. When I selected 1. USB I have the same problem I had with the old DOM yesterday - it asks me to 'Please insert USB storage' even though a freshly formatted USB drive with the firmware patch.bin file is in the USB port. I have tried several USB drives - that have all worked previously in the box - and I have tried both ports. I have also tried 2 different HDD units.

From what I have described, is there anything obvious that I have not done or if you have any suggestions about what I could try next, please let me know.

Thanks
Stephen

@richy18: The last config from The_Ripper I have does not activate the USBSERIAL or FTDI_SIO driver. Maybe he can build a kernel with them enabled or the newer on are build with it. Maybe he tells us.

[far451]

@SPF Could it be a corrupted patch.bin? Try a md5sum of the patch.bin. The patch.bin should not be in a subdirectory.
Does your USB stick have a data access LED that lights up when inserted?

[SPF]

@far451
I have tried several different patch.bin files for various firmware versions. I always ensure that the patch file is copied to a freshly formatted drive and is the only file on the drive. The LED on the drive does light when inserted into my PC but not with the AZBox Premium. This seems to be the same problem I mentioned in my posts last night where the USB ports (and the SATA drive) do not appear to be active. This suggests to me that the problem is not with the DOM or the HDD but I'm just learning about this so i am unsure if this could be the case.

This is baffling me just now, but I'll get there eventually!

If You want, You can test last release 1.0.31, is already a beta release, there are some bugs, but it works very well.

The knew bus (for the truth but parts are not finished yet):
- the sound disappears (but if you change few times channels, well reappear)
- you can't play what you record
- subtitles (I can't find it)
- change audio language (I can't find it)

If You use DS Team 3.0 (based on the last The_Ripper kernel) you will find plugins and emu ready to use.

Happy testing!!!

I attached usbserial+ftdi kernel modules.
Try it pls.

I've tried the driver.

1. copying drivers to /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-19-the_ripper/extra/

2. depmod -a
-> ok

3. mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
-> ok

4. modprobe usbserial
-> ok

5. modprobe ftdi_sio
->ok

6. Plugged in smargo and a valid nagra smartcard.

dmesg output:


usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device
usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver


cat /proc/tty/drivers


...
usbserial /dev/ttyUSB 188 0-254 serial
...


cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial


usbserinfo:1.0 driver:2.0


So... unfortunately the driver does not show the ftdi-module.

4@@@@ said "cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial" must look like:
0: module:ftdi_sio name:"FTDI USB Serial Device" vendor:0403 product:6001 num_ports:1 port:1 .....

But it doesn't :(

What's wrong now???

Try when you modprobe ftdi driver to add debug option active,
modprobe ftdi_sio debug=1

[richy18]

@richy18
Try when you modprobe ftdi driver to add debug option active,
modprobe ftdi_sio debug=1

It makes no difference

modprobe ftdi_sio debug=1

The rest is as described above too...

@Smudger

I have always extracted the patch files to the PC first, then copy to the USB. I don't think the problem lies with either the USB drives or the patch files. I think it must be whatever does not activate the USB ports or the SATA drives.

Thanks for your suggestion,though.

I also tryed to get smargo working with the modules. Cam does not see the card.
I know that in ufs910 E2 there was some patch needed to work with enigma2 on sh4. _network has written the patch. No idea if this is the case here.
@The_Ripper: Which source have you used - the one from 2.6.15 source was working with the original kernel.

[richy18]

I also tryed to get smargo working with the modules. Cam does not see the card.


Yes, same situation as me.
My workaround to watch pay-tv with E2 on Azbox at the moment is sharing the smartcard from my Dream800HD. It works as expected. CCcam on Azbox with DS3.0 Image act as client and I can watch Sky (and Sky HD).

But it would be better to read the smartcard directly by azbox...
Hope The_Ripper will find a solution soon or in later images.

At the moment I'm still absolutely thrilled by E2 on Azbox :respect-039:

I've tried DS2-3.0 (Kernel 1.0.31) for a few days and found the following bugs (on Azbox Premium +)

- installation ok

- first boot: Tuner not recognized, have to change em8634dvb.ko

- second boot: Tuner ok, have Diseqc with A=19.2, B=13.0, C=23.5, D=28.5. All satellites seems to be ok (download channel-lists)

- automatic channel search on 4 satellites: after a few minutes the screen becomes black - then it comes back - search continues, on third satellite the screen remains black and so the scan cannot complete.

- changed configuration on two satellites (19.2 and 13.0). Scan can complete now and found ~3500 Channels

- watching FTA SD: seems ok

- watching FTA HD: seems ok, but the movie sometimes stutter

- watching encrypted SD: works with CCcam and a Dreambox as Cardserver

- watching encrypted HD: same as above

- reading Smartcard on internal reader: does not work

- reading Smartcard on external reader (Smargo): does not work - see this thread

- reading Smartcard on CI-Slot and Alphacrypt-light: does not work

- Sound issue: on channel switch sound is sometimes gone

- Timeshift on HDD: does not work. On first press (yellow button) the picture freeze and the pause-icon appears. On second press the play icon-appears but nothing happens. Have to change channels to watch further.

- Recording on HDD: does not work. If I activate a recording the hdd is starting and some files will be saved, but the filesize is not growing:



root@AZBox:/media/hdd/movie# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 9 12:26 20101109 1226 - Sky Cinema Hits HD - Gran Torino.ts

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 9 12:26 20101109 1226 - Sky Cinema Hits HD - Gran Torino.ts.sc
root@AZBox:/media/hdd/movie#


- The Enigma working logo (the gears - or on DS 3.0 the globe) appears frequently without any reason

- System clock: the system clock is aprox. 3 times faster then normal. If I start the system at 10.00pm and wait for 20 Minutes the clock shows me ~11.00pm

- EPG: the EPG works only on some channels. The most is empty. I suppose it is related to the wrong system time

In summary it is a really great work - many thanks to The_Ripper! E.g. channel switching is already faster than original Image - its really dreambox-feeling on azbox.

Conclusion: If you don't need timeshift, recording and EPG and if you are willing to zap back and forth (if sound is gone) you can simply watch TV (FTA SD, HD and - if you have a second Box with cardserver - also encrypted SD & HD). In this case - just enjoy EII on Azbox ;)

I will continue testing...

Cmon this guy was doing miracles in just one day...

My guesses is that the next release will be the svn one..
And by this it means that we ll have stable drivers...

I trust the ripper and the team behind him coz they ve proved more than once that they deserve it...

Do you guys honestly think that the upcoming fw by opensat that will get released in a few months, would be such a performance beast like e2? or at least near to that?
Sounds too good to be true...
Maybe after a year of development it will get there...

They got better developers now, but these guys can't do miracles in just a few months....
E2 s been out for some years now and many people worked on it to bring it at this stage...

if the ripper success to port to to our box then it s the best thing that could happen to it...

if I were you I would avoid making certain statements, perhaps in a not too far future you may regret it ...:sifone:

as much as we all would like to believe this....
they even by phone denny stuff ..or don't want to talk about it..pff
mail...skype...you name it.

I like azbox very much. But Opensat is the worst company/p.r/ respect your client ever!


But i do believe certain users..and they said they were working in something....so.. I dunno. I just don't care now.
I want enigma2. Best tv mode, and now full codec support. I don't care about anything else. :) :D

[ebro]

Are those that are impatient for E2 development, also giving the same grief to Opensat development team.??? When was the last time you saw an update from them.????

[paulobr]

i agree, the Opensat equal cheet. Long Live to The_ripper

[azbox4ever]

i agree, the Opensat equal cheet. Long Live to The_ripper

You know what is a RESPECT?
I hope yes
So don't talk like that next time ,respect the people who are working hard please.
Opensat,The Ripper are in the same boat the only think that we can do is to thank them

In the past I have criticized heavily Opensat and his collaborators.
For several months it seems that apparently there are no signs of life by Opensat, but often things are never as they seem, can not always see black or white, but we must try to read the nuances.

I got an idea, maybe it's wrong, but a series of coincidences make me believe it's the right one...
However, it does not matter, the important thing is to use our Azbox in the best way, with a software that can exploit the potential of the hardware.

Thanks The_Ripper and all the members of his team (???).

Are you implying the timing of halt of new firmware releases from Opensat and simultaneously rapid development of E2 for Azbox are related?

[gravatasufoca]

I just do not like this false morality. Everyone here is hoping and supporting the ripper. Now when someone says something, someone always has to throw stones criticizing the question.
Respect is good and everybody likes it. It costs nothing to be polite and kind.

If Ripper was selling his work then all the stupid questions and all the critisism would be fair. But he's not. He is creating something for free and for the love of creation. So in this case you don't put any preasure on his shoulders and you let him work.
If you have to critisise someone, I think all roads lead to Portugal... (not hfmls of course :rofl:).

all are welcome to Portugal. with money in their pockets to spend .. :respect-057: so they can leave work calmly Ripper

[paulobr]

Don't be rude for the people of Portugal they don't deserve that...please

[Sjaak66]

This threat is going far away from the start topic.
Come people lets stick to the topic and share/talk about
E2 on AZbox !
Stop criticizing people in particular.

I thought you'd get my point but obviously you didn't. Maybe my writing was wrong.
I didn't mean the Portugese people or the country itself. I meant Opensat that houses in Portugal but it could be anywere else.

[kebien]

You know what is a RESPECT?
I hope yes
So don't talk like that next time ,respect the people who are working hard please.
Opensat,The Ripper are in the same boat the only think that we can do is to thank them

Humm
Really????
What about I cannot record well since I bought the azbox?
What about all the other bugs that were never fixed by opensat?
Do we not deserve respect as a consumer?
We worked hard for our money,and opensat only care THEY are working hard?
I have to rant against your post sir,this is an E2 thread,created SPECIALLY because opensat DID NOTHING to fix the box in all this time,and you come here asking for respect?
E2 in azbox STARTED IN THE HOPE THIS BOX IS WORTH SOMETHING,otherwise people would just throw it in the garbage.
I have never seen in my life such a company like opensat where they release in the market a receiver that do half of what is advertised for,and such company have the balls to ask for respect of their HARD work?
What hard work?
Have done NOTHING in 1+ years,sir,what hard work you are referring too?
Plus,it looks like The Ripper is building drivers from scratch,so how is it opensat and the ripper are in the same boat?
The guy is doing everything WITHOUR YOUR HELP !!!
You mean the same boat to the fact that The ripper and you are working in a box that has no future?
What is "the same boat" for you?
Is not really clear.

Not sure you realize the fact people porting E2 for azbox is a slap on opensat's face,it show in itself no respect at all??
YOU CAN NOT ASK FOR RESPECT NOW !!!!!
TOO LATE !!!!

As have already being said, OpenSat is working on a new firmware, they are not giving up on azbox, on the contrary.

OpenSat could not fix any more the official firmware made by Celrun, because it was unfixable, it was bad coded, they could not improve something without breaking another.
Because instead of a typical code divided in procedures/functions, they (celrun) used pointers to point to other code stack, obviously when the code changes, so does the addresses where the pointer points and that causes thing to stop working.
I don't know when this new firmware will come out, probably when its ready.

So yes, you can also say that they use this E2 firmware attention from their costumers, so they can focus 100% on the new firmware and not in the celrun's firmware.
Also, if you guys think that E2 was possible in this short time without the help of OpenSat, you guys are dead wrong.
That "geeko" message in the VFD is not a coincidence, it was the main coder from OpenSat that did it, so yes they are indirectly involved in this E2 firmware.
There is also many more private information that I do know and won't reveal.

All I'm trying to say is that OpenSat is not a bad company as many think, although nothing will repair the fact that Elite and Premium are not twin tuners capable (celrun's fault), and OpenSat should accept that fault and do a refund to its costumers or a trading program for a Premium+ (for a fair amount).

Cheers!

[ebro]

FME_FTA - nice reply.
I am looking forward to lot's of new stable images from all the developers. I enjoy playing with the box. It has a lot of potential.
Maybe we can have something for Christmas. That would be very nice.

[hfmls]

FME_fta with all respect. They are not a good company.
I can understand (IF) they really have anything to do with enigma2 that they don't want to talk about it.

But if they are working in a new firmware from scratch, why don't they let us see how it goes? Why don't they tell us, we are doing this and that.
HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR US CLIENTS!
Why da hell can't they be more understanding that we just wanna see some progress?
It's simple, or they really suck as a company and don't have a single clue how to "sell" their product/firmware.
Or
they aren't working at all in a new firmware.
You can chose one option...if they really are working in a new firmware. Why can't we know that? Why can't we see something for the first time directly from opensat ??
example: Here are some samples, screenshots of our current work..
or "Yes we're doing this and that". Give us a couple of months... It's as simple as that.
They simply couldn't care less about us costumers, it's a disrespectful and a shameless company. Show your face Opensat, we users don't have any fault if your previous celrun and korean stuff sucked! Face the consequences and admit, it was a bad decision from the start, and let us know what da hell are you doing now. Or do you get money from silence? If i remember correctly u get money from us to fool around, have some dignity and at least tell us what r u doing, if ....anything at all. U can't hide your ass behind enigma2 stuff forever. Or..yes u can, like u are doing right now, the coward and easy way.
Or the afraid of failure again with that "supposed new firmware" is so big that u don't even trust yourselves now?
Either way, even if u fail to deliver, have the balls to do the decent thing to tell us, ey...we tried!
