Hello.

 

This is my setup: One big (90 cm) parabol with 2 Quattro head, poiting at 0.8 and 4.8 (Sweidish CanalDigital and Viasat). I use an multiswith to my 5 boxes, 4 of them (all VU+ and OpenPli) works perfectly & locate 1500 channels. BUT my new Solo 4K do NOT locate channels on 4.8 (only 10-20 of 600). If I try ex. VIX image on the 4K box, then I locate every channel (1500), but NOT with OpenPli.

 

Any suggestion ??

 

TIA

Here is an update for my problem.

 

Still only 20-25 channels on Viasat with the latest OpenPli 4.0 (20161012) on my Solo4k, but on the same cable with my Solo2, SoloSe and Zero I locate about 600 channels on Viasat (Sirius 4.8). I have update satellites.xml.

 

But if I try an "custom" buil OpenPli 5.0 the the box find about 600 channels on Viasat.

 

Why ? Where is the problem ??

 

I have also test the box on my parents dish, and no luck. There is impossible to find all channels on Viasat.

 

Please help !! I am stucked.

The satellites.xml that you used is perhaps out-dated, it is located in /etc/tuxbox  (I think that thsi one is one maintained by OpenPLi) but if you please one into /etc/enigma2 then this one will be used instead.

 

Anyway if you have other boxes running OpenPLi you can copy the file from one box to another one (the easiest way is to use an external channel editor load it from one STB change profile and save it to another one).

Hello, and thanks for the answer, but it is not the issue, I have a new satellites.xml ofcourse, have also tried an from an other working box. The problem is that the box jumps over port A, even if I test settings "single satellit", no diseqs, it only find channels on port B. So something is serious wrong in the image. I was wondering if my multiswitch is the problem. I will try today on my dads settings (only one box & an "normal" diseqs).

More input. I have also change satellites in my multiswitch, so now I have Thor 0.8 on port A & Astra 4.8 on B, and I only find channels on port B.

Even more input. I have now tried with VU+ original image & every channel (about 1500) is located correctly. So the issue MUST be with OpenPLI.

 

Please, PLEASE do something about it. I really like OpenPLi.

Is your config ok? In particular when it comes to diseqc configuration?

Hello, and thanks for the answer. Yes of course is my settings correct, I have done this 1000 times. But I am giving up on OpenPLi and change to BlackHole, when it works direct "out_of_the" box. There is some issue with OpenPLi and Solo 4K.

Actually I've had no issues with OpenPLi and my Solo4K and I used it with 2 installations:

1) dual feed 13 and 19.2 with an Inverto SCR multiswitch and 2 Quattro LNBs

2) mono feed 13 with one Inverto SCR LNB

If you have a multiswitch, make sure it only uses DiseqC, and voltage is switched off. Multiswitches don't use voltage switching, only LNB's do.

 

If it is not switched off, your switch might miss DiseqC commands and not switch.

Thanks for the tip. But where is that setting ? And why is all my other boxes (6 VU+) working perfekt with OpenPLi, on the same multiswitch.

Because it is a combination of hardware, software and timing.

 

If you have voltage enabled, the DiseqC command can get "lost" in the voltage puls, so the switch misses it. The original old enigma2 code had a dumb workaround that simply repeated DiseqC commands in the hope they would get to the switch eventually, and that was removed from our codebase quite some time ago because it could have quite an impact on zap speeds.

 

The downside of this is that you now have to configure your tuner settings properly, while in the past you could get away with not doing it.

 

You can find it in your tuner configuration, something like "set voltage..." which should be no in case of a multiswitch, as they are only controlled by DiseqC commands.

Hello.

 

There is an setting under Simple, Diseqs A/B -> Set Voltage & 22Khz Yes / No. If I set No -> no channels at all. Observe that in Black Hole I only set the correct satellite under A & B in Diseqs-settings, and leave "Set Volt & 22Khz" ton YES. Works perfecty, but NOT with OpenPLi. I have also test the box at a friend who only have one box and single diseqs -> no luck.

Multiswitches do NOT require 13/18V changes, and 22Khz tonebursts, those are for committed and uncommitted switches only.

 

So, if you have a few LNB's, and a 4/1 or 2/1 committed switch, you DO need to set this to YES. If you have a powered multiswitch, you MUST set this to no.

 

I know this is not the case in other images, read my previous posts on why that is.

Hello.

 

And I am sorry to say that your settings didnt work at all, only a total of 83 channels -> should be about 1300. So there is NOT the solution.

 

Setting are as follows:

 

Simple

Diseqs a/b

0.8W Thor KU-band

4.8E Astra KU-band

No

No

 

I am giving up for now.
