Hi there,

 

Here's a new batch of images based on OpenPLi 4 with many contributions from various openpli.org forum members and some bits taken from oe-alliance.

So this is basically a tribute to them

 

 

It took me a while since I was very short on time and I had to re-install my build-rig, move to a new feed-server etc...

 

SO DUE TO A NEW FEED-SERVER ONLINE UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS IMAGES IS NOT POSSIBLE!

DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THE URL IN THESE OLD IMAGES SINCE THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY CHANGES WHICH WILL BREAK THINGS!

PLEASE FLASH A CLEAN IMAGE INSTEAD!

 

So here's whats up:

- Brand new bootlogo thanks to .:MarcinO:.

- OpenPLi enigma2 rev: 4bf2f1e45593065f9e2b4563f30463487b727c94

- OpenPLi oe-core rev: d76cfe6a39c6613ac77578840b214f0f1e748a39

- Taapat's Fulan enigma2 rev: 2a984c500f5b2ea657f68742b7dc4e47f5586483

- New receivers supported:

 * osmini

 * osminiplus

 * spycat

 * spycatmini

 * et7000mini

 * xpeed lx

 * xpeed lx pro

- New feed server located in Europe thanks to the Japhar team!

- New Japhar IPTV list

- No more use of UPX compression on ARM platform (should fix the Vu+ Solo 4K build)

- Latest gstreamer 1.9 revision from master branch

- FFmpeg 3.0.2 with extra options enabled (based on oe-e recipe)

- Kodi 16.1 for Vu+ Solo 2, Solo Se, Duo 2, and Solo 4K (thanks to mx3L for his bsp + recipes)

- More wifi drivers (mt7601, rt7777 etc..) taken from oe-alliance

- Slightly newer v4l modules for kernel 2.6.18 (dm800)

- New version of mx3L's serviceapp now supports EPG and embedded subtitles

- New version of exteplayer3

- Flash extender PPanel for dm800, dm800se and dm500hd (* Please read below)

- Many other changes I forgot to mention...

 

Known issues:

- On spark7162 (and 7111 probably as well) fragmented streams such as hls (m3u8) will skip and freeze a lot.

  This happened sometime after the official Gstreamer 1.8.0 release and I didn't found the cause yet.

  It is not related to the dvbmediasink since it doesn't happen on mips receivers and the code in the dvbmediasink didn't change.

  Configure your streams to play with exteplayer3 instead, read below.

- Some Dreambox remotes may behave very sensitive.
  This causes button presses to register multiple times instead of just once.
  As a workaround you can adjust the key interval:
  Go to: Menu - System - Input devices - dreambox remote control (native).
  Set "Change repeat and delay settings" to yes
  Set "Interval between keys when repeating:" to 200ms or 300ms.
  Press green button (OK)
  Now set the same delay for: "dreambox advanced remote control (native)" as well.

- DM800 first boot will take a while, please be patient. The next boot will be faster.

 

 

Flash extender for DM800, DM800Se and DM500HD:

Since these receiver only feature 64MB of internal flash space, I've been unable to ship all packages.

ffmpeg, exteplayer3, gst1.0-libav, mediaplayer2, iptv player, subssupport etc.. are missing due to insufficient space.

That's why I've created a simple PPanel script for moving the entire internal flash to an external storage device such as internal hdd or usb disk.

The PPanel will also install all the missing packages for you.

So you can have all the bells and whistles like the other receivers

However please note that:

- It will format your storage device thus deleting everything.

- It's not compatible with other flash-extenders such as barry alen, multiboot etc...

- You'll need a working internet connection when running the PPanel or else it cannot install the missing packages.

- You need to patient! As the script runs you'll only see a black screen which an take up to 15 minutes depending on the size/speed of your storage device and your internet connection.

 

You can find it under Blue Panel -> PPanels

 

 

ServiceApp and exteplayer3:

Thanks for the hard work from mx3L and samsamsam you can now play your IPTV streams with exteplayer3 or gstplayer instead of the default dvbmediasink.

Especially using exteplayer3 will give much better performance on playing HLS streams compared to gstreamer + dvbmediasink.

For example, playing DJING underground 720p never worked very well on my DM800HD and now it does

 

You can read all about it here: http://forums.openpl...nd-exteplayer3/

 

In a nutshell here's how it works.

In your /etc/enigma2/ directory you have your channel bouquets with the .tv and .radio extensions.

Inside these files there's this for example:

#SERVICE 4097:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//cdn.djing.com/tv/u-05.m3u8:DJING Underground (CDN)
#DESCRIPTION DJING Underground (CDN)

By default this will play with the gstreamer dvbmediasink (which is currently broken for sh4).

If you like to play your stream with exteplayer3 instead you should change the 4097 to 5002, like this:

#SERVICE 5002:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//cdn.djing.com/tv/u-05.m3u8:DJING Underground (CDN)
#DESCRIPTION DJING Underground (CDN)

You can also change it to play with gstplayer using 5001:

#SERVICE 5001:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//cdn.djing.com/tv/u-05.m3u8:DJING Underground (CDN)
#DESCRIPTION DJING Underground (CDN)

So it's like this:

4097 = default player, which is the dvbmediasink if serviceapp is not enabled

5001 = gstplayer

5002 = exteplayer3

 

Now let's say you'd like to convert your entire bouquet to play with exteplayer3, simply login to your receiver with telnet/ssh (use PuTTY for Windows).

And issue to the following commands:

First stop enigma2:

init 4

Then change your bouquet to make all streams play with exteplayer3, lets say userbouquet.favourites.tv:

cd /etc/enigma2
sed -i 's/^#SERVICE 4097/#SERVICE 5002/g' userbouquet.favourites.tv

Then restart enigma2:

init 3

That's it !

 

You can also make exteplayer3 the default backend for playing back everything.

Go to Menu -> Plugins -> ServiceApp and set exteplayer3 as default.

 

Keep in mind that with exteplayer3 or gstplayer as default backend you will not have support for external subtitles yet (.srt for example).

That's why I've added MediaPlayer2 and SubsSupport from mx3L.

 

Please thank mx3L for the hard work he put into this

Any hope for E3HD receivers (Axas E3HD, GI Genius E3HD, Optibox Evo E3HD, X Solo Mini 2 aka Meelo one)?

 

They use the same drivers and share the same images.

 

Please consider it, many people (including myself) would appreciate it.

[nemo72nn]

Would be grateful for GI Genius...

[MastaG]

I'll look into it :-)

Thank you Sir.

 

Question: I have internal HD in my DM800, i wish to expand my flash to USB, any possibility to run PPanel Exroot script to expand to USB while Internal HD also exist?

i have tried to run it shows to disconnect one of device before it is executed.

 

disconnecting internal HD requires physical opening of box.

[MastaG]

shy11, yes that's because I didn't program the logic to mount using uuid.

And since I cannot predict which device will be "sda" during boot, I disabled support for multiple storage devices.

 

However, it will simply reformat your hdd using ext3 and it will be labled "hdd" so you can still use it for recordings/timeshift etc afterwards

So if have you anything special on your internal hdd, you could backup it to your PC.

Then remove the usb flash disk and run the PPanel.

After it's done, reboot (so it boots from hdd) and restore your data back from your PC to your dm800

-  once done, reconnect my Internal HD

[emiroglu]

 thx MastaG 

[ian1095]

Just loaded this and cant fault it.

 

Everything including Kodi and Exteplayer3 with serviceapp works great.

 

Very well done,although I was praying that you may have updated the https certs in this image,but sadly thats not the case.

 

Regardless of that though,I'm very very impressed.

 

Ian.

[osicam]

Thanks a lot :-)

 

Does this image include fix for EPG with exteplayer3 on IPTV ?

[vassili_47]

[MastaG]

Yes osicam, I'm shipping both the new serviceapp and the pull request from athoik has been commited as well

Yes that should work, but there's a chance your receiver will not boot once you put back your internal HDD.

But it's an easy fix..

 

Do exactly like this:

 

1. Disconnect your internal HDD and only connect your USB pen.

2. Boot your receiver and run the PPanel to move everything over to USB.

3. When done, reboot your receiver to verify that it can boot from USB.

4. If all OK, turn off your receiver and connect the internal HDD again.

 

Now if you find your receiver FAILS to boot after connecting the internal HDD do the following:

(only do this if your receiver doesn't boot with internal HDD connected)

 

5. Disconnect the internal HDD again but leave the USB pen connected.

6. Boot your receiver again and login with telnet, now issue the following two commands:

mount -o remount,rw /boot

and:

e2label /dev/sda1 usb

7. Now edit the following file: /boot/autoexec.bat

Change:

root=/dev/sda1

to:

root=/dev/sdb1

8. Power on off your receiver, connect and connect the internal HDD again.

 

It should now boot with both USB pen and HDD connected and the USB pen will be your root-filesystem
