In response to a PM I got but which I think is interesting for more people.

I did not simply "commit" the vu+ blindscan. I made an almost completely new plugin for blindscan. It needs (closed source) support from the manufacturers though, so I made/repackaged them the for vu+ and for et and these get installed automatically when you install the satscan plugin.

If vu+ has a similar closed source binary package for the vu+duo and vu+solo I can arrange for that. Chances are the binary is exactly the same, in that case it would be even simpler. I don't have a vu+duo/solo box myself though, so I can't test it.

great job Erik

can we test it somehow ?

[Erik Slagter]

Depends on what you want to do

If you have a vu+ultimo, vu+uno or et box, it should be enough to install the plugin satscan. If that doesn't work for some reason, I'd really like to know.

[Persian Prince]

did you check all these files :

vuplus-blindscan-utils-bm750-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vusolo-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vuultimo-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vuuno-2.0.tar.bz2

?

cause md5 of "tda1002x" is same for all and md5 of "vuplus_blindscan" is same for vuultimo and vuuno

i think vuduo and vusolo could use "vuplus_blindscan" too

am i wrong ?

[blzr]

AFAIK the vuduo/solo hardware does not support blindscan unfortunately...

[radxnl]

i think vuduo and vusolo could use "vuplus_blindscan" too

am i wrong ?

yes, that is wrong, Broadcom 7335 and 7325 on silicon 'tuners' only support peakscan not blindscan

I have have manualy installed th Satscan Plugin yesterday at my Ultimo.

It works good

vuplus-blindscan-utils-bm750-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vusolo-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vuultimo-2.0.tar.bz2
vuplus-blindscan-utils-vuuno-2.0.tar.bz2

I don't know the bm750, we don't support that box.
The vusolo doesn't support DVB-S blindscan as far as I know.
The vuultimo and vuuno do support DVB-S blindscan, using an identical closed source binary called vuplus_blindscan.

cause md5 of "tda1002x" is same for all and md5 of "vuplus_blindscan" is same for vuultimo and vuuno

The tda1002x is for DVB-C (cable) blindscan.

i think vuduo and vusolo could use "vuplus_blindscan" too

Maybe, maybe not, I cannot test it. If you have these boxes, you might be able to test.

It's clear that there is a lot of confusion about "blindscan" because the manufacturers are using the name for various things.

The package dreambox-blindscan-utils, for instance, contains executables for cable blindscan (dvb-c).
The package vuplus-blindscan-utils contains executables for both cable and satellite blindscan.
For et there is a "blindscan" package that only contains executable for satellite blindscan.

So that is why I complete cleanup up this stuff. The package names above are not used anymore by OpenPLi, because they are too confusing. Search for *-blindscan-dvb?-utils instead. They get installed automatically when necessary.

Can you also please try to install it from the feed? Only install satscan and then the appropriate blindscan utils should be installed automatically.

a.k.a the vu duo

i think vuduo and vusolo could use "vuplus_blindscan" too

Broadcom 7335 and 7325 on silicon 'tuners' only support peakscan not blindscan

so no blindscan possible

That's not my quote

[Bag58]

bm750 is the designation that vuplus uses for the vuduo. That same designation is also used in the name of the driver archives for the vuduo.

[radxnl]

That's not my quote

no it's mine, and taken from the Broadcom 7335/7325 pdf, so very absolute

[Erik Slagter]

You said I said this:

i think vuduo and vusolo could use "vuplus_blindscan" too

But that was Persian Prince instead.

[radxnl]

yes it was a double quote but the forum s/w made it a single quote

corrected it now

With a clean OpenPLi-2.1-beta-vuultimo-20120518 comes an error when i will install over feed...

[Erik Slagter]

[lolly]

[Erik Slagter]
