You need a plugin to have CI+ on OpenPLi whatever the STB brand. On VU+ you need the CI+ certificate file while on some other brand you need a small application running.

You probably think that you don't need a plugin because autorestore does the job for you and restore the certificate.

 

Pulse4K is also working fine with the CI+ but having CI+ working is a savant combination of timing, different plugin: slowzap for CI and CI assignement, and sometimes some specific setup in oscam dvbapi file.

You can have different issue with different brand and a setup working fine with brand A will not work as-is out-of-the-box on brand B, every settings needs to be tuned.

You can compare CI+ setup with HDMI-CEC setup.

 

My father is TV addict and he is using both the CI+ and OScam on a Pulse 4K and trust me at the very first problem he had he called me. So if CI+ had problems with the Pulse4K I would be aware. 

But of course it is based on my own experience with the CI+ CAM that I can test on my setup.

 

For you black screen problem install slow zap for CI and enable the Restart service after play (find the ones that needs it) and your black screen problem will be solved.

Broadcom refuses now to provide SoC for OpenSource STB so no more "Enigma" based STB with BroadCom will be available. They reserved there SoC for proprietary (provider) boxes. 

Only HiSilicon is currently providing SoC for "Enigma" STB.

Finding the right HDMI-CEC settings is sometimes tricky.

 

1. Forward volume keys:  this option is working if you have an amplifier between the STB and the TV, I can increase and decrease the volume with this option. But very few TV support it directly unfortunately.

FileCommander is also done, I have write access to I don't need to create a PR.

I don't think that you are using the standard OpenPLi OScam startup script so perform this:
 
Create a file /etc/init.d/softcam.OScamOpenPLi
 
With the following content:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
        ulimit -s 1024
        /usr/bin/oscam --wait 60 --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam.pid --restart 2 --utf8
        ;;
stop)
        kill `cat /tmp/oscam.pid` 2> /dev/null
        # in case a normal stop failed
        killall /usr/bin/oscam
        ;;
restart|reload)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
version)
        echo "gitAUTOINC+c41959f135"
        ;;
info)
        echo "oscam gitAUTOINC+c41959f135"
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0

Then:

cd /etc/init.d/
./softcam stop
rm softcam
ln -s softcam.OScamOpenPLi softcam
./softcam start

You can also create symlink to the OScam version you want to test.
 

cd /usr/bin/
ls -Falh oscam

Check if it is already a symlink or not.

If it is a symlink then:

rm oscam
ln -s oscamXXXXX oscam

where oscamXXXX is the name of the oscam binary that you want to test.

if it's not a symlink then keep a copy of your current OScam:

mv oscam oscam_old

Then create the symlink:

ln -s oscamXXXXX oscam

Restart you softcam:

/etc/init.d/softcam restart

In OpenPLi the default path for the OScam configuration file is:  /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/   by default oscam is not looking in this folder since it tries to use /usr/local/etc (this can be overwritten at compilation time).

 

So you need to say oscam where to find the configuration file:

So you need to start your OScam with:

 

--config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam

 

as parameter.

 

If you use the oscam from the feed everything is fine, if you manually try to install another oscam version then you need to learn how to do this properly.

 

The startup script of OScam in OpenPLi is:  /etc/init.d/softcam   which is a symlink normally pointing to softcam -> softcam.oscam

 

oscam binary is in:  /usr/bin/oscam  if you manually change it don't forget to chmod 755 oscam

 

There is no default port assigned for the OScam WebIf so if you start oscam so there is no WebIF active.

So specifying a configuration path with a valid oscam.conf  containing: httpport = XXXX  where XXXX is the port number that you want is mandatory to have OScam webif active.

Parameters can be different between image so there is "protection" mechanism to avoid to restore setting from one image to another one.

 

So you have to find where OpenSPA create the backup, unpack it manually and copy manually the files, I guess that you mainly want to retrieve your userbouquet, lamedb et perhaps softcam setup those should be bring problems.

But you should probably avoid to restore the /etc/enigma2/settings file.

Then use command line mentioned by s3no

install this plugin:

 

enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-vfdcontrol

 

And you can set it up to display the clock instead of the channel number.

Did you press the green button to save changes?

And did you put your STB into standby before power it off?

You need to put your box into standby to have the lamedb and the userbouquet properly saved before you switch it off.

I guess that you scan the channel and power off the box after that without first putting it into standby, so your channel list is not saved and at next start you retrieve the last proper standby channel list.

Google is your best friend for such question:

 

what is the difference between DVB-S and DVB-S2

 

Give it a try. 

You can call as many scripts as you want from the "main" script.

Translation: ABM is Automatic Bouquet Maker a plugin that you can install on your box (enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker).
