Did you install any softcam? OpenPli comes without any softcam preinstalled.... Goto MENU-APPLICATIONS. Press green and browse to Softcam option and install softcam of your choosing...

I often experienced this that no ipaddress is given on the screen. So you have to check whether the box still has the original ipaddress or use a tool which scans your network for present hardware. There you'll find the 500HD. I often use the Fing app on my iPhone to do this.
Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.
Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. 
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.
Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

Als ik alles al wist hoefde ik ook niets te vragen. If I had all the knowledge I had no questions at all.

If you get no IP displayed make sure the LAN cable is connected properly to your router.. It may be handy to show which version of the DM500HD you own... The V1 which is supported by OpenPli and has bootloader #84, the V2 is NOT supported by OpenPli and has bootloader #88 or #89.. This info is shown on the TV screen.
If the cable is OK and the IP address is not shown, simply use DCC-E2 and use the search function to obtain the used IP address.
Flashing is not an automated option! Once you put the DM500HD in *stop* mode (that's what is called) you need to start the flashing procedure yourself with a browser. You do so by entering the found IP in the browser's web address. For instance: http://192.168.178.29 and press <enter>.
