Hi,

 

   my parents updated their Amiko Viper 4k combo over the air: now the decoder boots, they see the splash screen of openpli 7.3, then they see the crash screen where WeatherPlugin.MSNWeather is missing (it's an importError). My parents are not nerd, they never deleted plugins so I don't know why after upgrade that plugin is missing.

 

   How can I help them to fix this problem? Is there a generic image I can try to install using the usb firmware upgrade procedure to fix the boot loop? I tried on Amiko website but my model is not listed ...

 

   Any help?

Enzo

Reinstall the image without restoring a previous backup. 
I did this a week ago with my sister’s Solo2 and Teamviewer. It’s really a piece of cake even when the users are real users and far from experts.

Thank you for your answer. Where I can found the image? Is there a generic image working on all models? Can I reinstall image via ota and how can I do this before the set top box reboot?

[Frenske]

The box shows a Viper combo and not the Viper 4K. We don‘t support de Viper 4K (yet)

Here you find the right image. https://openpli.org/...ko/Viper Combo/

Normally you might be able to perform an online flash but due to the fact the box crashes this isn‘t possible unless you have more then basic knowledge.

Thank you Frenske!!! So now I can use the 7.3 image, put it in the usb and follow the standard procedure to force firmware upgrade, right?

 

I have to use the 7.3 2020 11 30 (the one is now installed) or - if the procedure fails - can I use an older one (as 2020 11 16 7.3 or 7.2)?

[Frenske]

No problem to use an older image. You might also test the 8.0 but if all just be done remote better take 7.3.

Hi, I got my parents upgrade their firmware to 7.3 and firmware upgraded worked. Thank you for your help!

Now they got the new interface and it's not so easy to use for them (the "standard"/"original" one was easier and just ready to use for an italian user). How can I configure OpenPli 7.3 for an "easier-to-use" user experience? That is:

- as soon as I power on the decoder, I see the latest channel I was seeing before power off

- standard italian channel list (or other unofficial italian channel list) - please consider my parents use both dvb-s and dvb-t2 decoder

- only see fullscreen channels, no tech details/info/etc (same user experience of standard tv)

 

Thank you.

- as soon as I power on the decoder, I see the latest channel I was seeing before power off

 

That is standard as long as you don't configure a "start" channel.

[enzo76]

And what about italian "standard" list channel?

[Frenske]

You might best move the Italian bouquet to the top of all bouquets if this wasn‘t so.

• Open the channellist with button down.
• Push blue for favorites.
• Go to the Italian bouquet.
• Push menu and choose for ‘activate move option’ or something like that.
• Push Ok and the Italian bouquet is selected.
• Move the cursor to the top of all bouquets.
• Push Ok again. Bouquet is deselected.
• Push menu and deactivate move option.

Then restart Enigma to save this change via menu - standby restart - restart enigma2.
