Help someone who knows nothing! Please...

pcb's Photo pcb 17 Jan 2017

Hi all, first timer here.

 

I have a TM-Nano2 Super, working with a motorised dish

 

Reason I'm posting is that the shop I bought the system from has ceased trading, and there's a message coming up on the system, and it tells me that I should post it to the openpli forums for help!

 

I have absolutely no idea how this thing works, other than how to install channels on various satellites.  99% of the time it just points at the English satellite.  I have no Linux knowledge whatsoever, so please be gentle if you are going to ask me to do stuff to it! - I will need explicit instruction!

 

Just keeps restarting and repeating the message below on a green screen.

 

Component: Enigma2

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "usr/lib/enigma2/python/mytest.py", line 600, in <module> run ScreenTest()

File "usr/lib/enigma2/python/mytest.py", line 441, in runScreenTest nav = Navigation()

File "usr/lib/enigma2/python/RecordTimer.py, line 255, in tryPrepare

TypeError: in method 'iRecordableServicePtr_prepare', argument 9 of type 'bool'

 

(exit code 6)

 

I think its got something to do with recording programmes.  We had the hard-drive replaced once after it bust after about 3 months.  Been about a year since it came back, and the OpenPli had changed as well - was now something to do with the 10th anniversary edition.  We do a fair bit of recording, and I keep on top of deleting the old stuff we've watched.  I have a bad feeling its FUBAR but I hope something could be done!

 

Thanks in advance!

PS - Oh and I've been getting a request to update the EPG as a new version is out - how do I do that? (provided the machine ain't FUBAR!)

We don't make software for a TM-Nano2 Super. It smells a bit like a very old copy of our source.

 

So as much as I would like to help you, you suffer from programming errors, and the only one that can fix that, is the one making the software.

So, what you appear to be telling me is I got a bodge job from a local satellite shop dealer!!

 

Sounds like I'm up the creek then!!

 

Can anybody recommend a good local dealer in the Chesterfield/Sheffield area then? If I have to buy a new box, I don't want another dodgy one!

 

Ta!

Technically it might be a fine box, I don't know. Just stating that the software running on the box seems to be an old adapted copy of our software.

 

You might want to check here: http://www.technomat...forum/index.php (under Linux receivers)? From the looks of it there are quite a few teams making software for this box.

 

edit: have to come back on that last bit, most of those forums are empty, and the ones that have posts, are old. Looks like VIX still makes an image: http://www.openvix.c...m-nano-2-super/ so perhaps you might want to join their forum.
