Hi I have a dreambox 800 se,using the latest version of open PLi,, the image is really nice and very stable thanks to the guys who work on these images for all of us.

 

I have a problem though, and wondered if it could be fixed, when i try to watch these channels in the Flix TV package on 16 east, i only get audio no video, however i know the channel is being decoded fine because i can take perfect screen caps using DCC.

 

The channels effected are:

 

kino barrandov

 

axn czech

 

discovery world

 

discovery che

 

history

 

nova sport 1 and 2

 

TLC

 

arena sport

 

 

However from the same package i can decode these channels with no problem:

 

viasat explore

 

viasat history

 

kerrang

 

I’m told the problem is the image is missing a new video codec called HEVC.

 

Could this please be fixed, so i can enjoy this package using open PLi please?

 

Thanks

No, it can't. HEVC is implemented in hardware, so you need a box with a SoC that can decode it. The DM800SE can't.

thanks, so its not the image its the age of the box etc not having the hardware needed inside it  thanks well explained

[WanWizard]

Not even the age of the box, it is a feature of the SoC (the A/V chipset). There are more recent boxes that also don't have this feature.

 

You can see which support box has in our wiki: https://wiki.openpli.org/comparison

So Flix TV is the first SAT package that switches to hevc!

I wonder what gains they had, eg reduce their TP's to half.

thanks,not sure to buy a new sat box or not to be honest, is it really worth it now, i guess not, i have seen a sat box i quite like, not sure if it will work on flix tv its the octagon SF4008, also do Open PLI support this box, ill have a read later.thanks to all of you, dhame it was not better news but least i know

[WanWizard]

We don't support the Octagon (check our homepage or the wiki). We do support the Mutant or AX HD51, which is using the same platform.

HI yes been reading on the forum etc, not much kuck here at all, does these support stream 1 and stream 2 etc on 5 west?

 

thanks

You mean multistream support? That will be available in the next OpenPLi version. Not sure if a DVB-S2X tuner is available for these boxes, that is not my area of expertise.

[athoik]

There is an S2X tuner announced for hd51/vs1500, don't know if it is available on the market yet.

Also there is a version of H5 (2S plus) with S2X tuner, but that box is hevc@1080p not 4K. But the channels on 5W are not 4K as well.


With OpenPLi 5 multistream will be available in Enigma2, with the proper tuner.
