I have two Miraclebox Ultra boxes running a fairly old openmb (last?) image.

 

It seems that the openmb builds stopped for the ultra boxes a while back, and now it looks like openmb.net is dead too.

 

I see that there are recent openpli images for some miraclebox boxes, but not the ultra.

 

Is it possible to request images for these boxes?

 

Thanks

Driver development for that box has stopped January 2016. The manufacturer doesn't support PLi for this box, so a PLi-image is unlikely.

You could try ViX or ATV; both have recent images for the Ultra.

Ok, too bad.

I see Egami images are available too.

What would people recommend?

I tried OpenVIX, which had severe problems with pixelization on some T/T2 channels, went back to the old OpenMB image to check, and it still works great.

 

Then checked OpenATV, but that hasn't been updatd since 2015, even older than the OpenMB/OpenPLI image.

 

Then installed the latest Egami, which has the same issues with T/T2 pixelization as OpenVIX.

 

So looks like I will be back on the old OpenMB image.

You can also try "Japhrapli". It's pli-based image like OpenMB ("OpenPLi 4.0 IPTV from our Member Japhar, built with ExtePlayer and GStreamer 1.11"). 

For MB Ultra there is OpenDroid, OpenESI and PKT Hyperion too.

Links for these softwares for MB Ultra are here: https://enigma2image.../premium-ultra/ .

I do not own this box, so I will not tell you what software is the best.

On the other forum, he says PLi dropped support for Box. You can't drop support if you have never supported it in the first place.

No issues with pixelisation of T2 channels on OpenVix. More than likely getting channels from neighbouring mast and not his own one.

Correct. There has never been an OpenPLi image for a Miraclebox Ultra.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Ok, the second boot screen says "Based on OPENPLi", everywhere else it says just OpenPLi.

 

I normally have to scan the T2 tuner manually as most of the images only contain the frequencies for another town, and I did so with both OpenVIX and Egami, and I do that also on the working OpenMB image. I enter the frequencies that are appropriate for the tower I'm aiming at, so unless there is some magic that makes it pick up the wrong frequency, I'm fairly sure it is correct.

 

I may give it another try.

 

I don't really have an issue with the OpenMB image, it is just that the repositories are gone, so no new packages, and no updates.

It seems you looked at the wrong place. The ATV images are located @ http://images.mynonp...hp?open=mbultra

I would keep your lamedb and try it on the other images. This avoids any issues with scanning wrong masts. If it is a scanning issue, it can be addressed later. You could also use the terrestrial scan plugin.

Thanks, I've now tested OpenATV 6, and it was the only fresh image that allowed me to restore the system settings from an OpenMB backup, so lamedb is the same, and no scan done, and it behaves the same.

 

What is weird is that some channels on one of the problematic muxes works fine, while others, on the same mux, pixelises like crazy, unwatchable.

 

All unencrypted channels work, while the ones that doesn't work properly are encrypted and is using a CI+ CAM, with an official card. Not all encrypted channels have a problem, but I think that all encrypted HD channels has problems.

 

It felt a bit like something running out of steam, but top said the box was 96% idle when it was pixelizing.

 

So now back to the old OpenMB again...

 

If anyone was any ideas how to debug this, I would be happy to try things out.

 

As all recent images seem to have this issue, it looks like it is some common issue.

Revisiting this issue as the old OpenMB image appears to have issues with https stream auth, it only accept it once after enigma starts.

 

I tried the latest OpenATV image, and it has the same issues, and I assume this is a low level driver issue.

 

Who is developing the low level stuff? open-oe or? Any forum I can bring this issue up?

 

What is weird is that some channels work fine while other pixelizes severly on the same mux. SNR is 99%, so no issue with the signal.

 

Here is what it looks like:

Drivers are supplied by the manufacturer, as a binary .ko file. We don't know what's in it.

I found that moving /lib/modules/3.14.2/extra/dvb.ko from my OpenMB install to OpenATV appears to work, and I assume it will work for the other images as well, as long as the kernel stays the same.

 

So given that the support is gone, can I supply the module I have that appears to work?

Hi,

 

Zip it and attach it on the forum so if somebody find your thread and want to test he can have the file.

But OpenPli doesn't support Miracle Box Ultra.

Ok, here it is.

 

I see that there are some other Miracleboxen that are supported by OpenPLi, how hard/much work would it be to add the Ultra too, given that the OpenMB stuff appears to be available on github?

 

Who is supporting these?

 

I really liked OpenMB, which apparently was an unofficial OpenPLi, and although the other projects (OpenATV, OpenVIX, Egami, etc) do build images for this box, I would prefer to have OpenPLi.

 

I would be willing to have a go at it if it isn't too hard.

We can only support what the manufacturer wants us to support, as they make the BSP.  If you want it, you'll have to build the image yourself, using local changes to the BSP.
