The PLi® Wiki.

We have developed a wiki for the following set top boxes that we support;

DM500 DM500plus DM56xx

DM600

DM7000 DM7020 DM7025

DM800 DM8000

Note: we do not support the DM100 as it is not a Linux based set top box.

This wiki is here to help answer your questions, provide howtos and so much more. It is a total resource for you and your friends to use to help you get the most out of your PLi® software experience on your DM set top box.

Do you see the way the words like DM500 are in blue in with a red underline above, well this means if you click on the word DM500 it will take you to the PLi® Wiki page for the DM500 set top box.

You will also many other words highlighted like this and sometimes when you post a question in this forum it will highlight the words you have written, which means there might already be an answer in the PLi® Wiki for you already.

While we have tried to add as much as possible to the wiki we welcome your input. As a registered user of this web site you can set up / add your own wiki pages. Please feel free to add to wiki. We have added a short layout / format details page here WikiStuff and more details on how to do it can be found here >> FormattingRules <<


Please use this resource and tell your friends about it.

With over 318,399 hits to the main HomePage alone since the release of our Jade software in the summer of 2008 - it is helping many users.

Are you using it?

With your tutorials I finally found my bearing!!!!.

Here are the areas that I love to see here and ready to do all what is needed ( Once I understand them) to communicate all back.

But I need pointer for the following

1. Directory Structure of PLi image( one liner on each directory and the ones that you should leaveuntouched) I do not expect Linux tutorial here, Just the SPECIFICS of PLi image
2. Anything you DO AS A USER to Dreambox like Satellite search reflects into new directories and files What and where they are? Actually I can list all these tasks ONE BY ONE when needed
3. Cams and keys Where to put them How to select them and how they get updated.What is the mechanics of interaction. A coded TV signal comes in ThenWHAT and most importantly what parts of DM reacts with the signal
4. There are a lot of irrelevant files setting there that do nothing for specific user Example If you use satellite reception no need to keep cable stuff etc For some it is a mere 1 kb ,here or there. For a clean "house" it means a lot.
5. To help really in education you must experiment. So, what do I do tobackup ALL (detailed and itemized) so I can flash erase the DM Put a new image Restore my stuff and keep going. Step by Step backup and restore proc.

I can expand on all these items. And I have the time to do this project . I have DM500 and DM600 and in the process of getting DM800. And have access to DM7020

My very best regards for a wonderful forum.

I want to added the telnet/busybox commands to the wiki (for dm8000 enigma2)

But i have one issue, the wiki formatting guide is Microsoft only. Because OpenOffice & Google docs don't support Italic text.

So I can't added it. Is it that i have to make a text file(odf / pdf or does it need to be a doc) and upload it to wiki and their it is?
A bit vague for me how the wiki exactly works.

I've seen that page, tat'swhy I ask.
It say textformatting Italic font.

I'dd added what i created with openoffice so far. Is it good enough to added to wiki?

Seems like a Microsoft Office only wiki?

[WanWizard]

The wiki is, like posts here, a text based system.

Using a wordprocessor is pointless, you can not transfer any markup, using Notepad (gedit, geany, vi) will do.

As hemertje already mentioned, you use character codes in the text as markup. For example, to make a text render italic, you place it between //. Compare it to writing HTML, where you do exactly the same (but with a different syntax.

Ok i get it. (sorry , first time i use such a wiki). I'm experienced in writing RSS2.0 feed by vim (or notepad).
I'll try it again, but i uploaded a odt file to wiki, how can i delete that? (or did you mods already removed it?)

[Jeroensky]

Finished.
It was a hell of a job, but i think i did it. (don't know how it look finally, so when will it be placed in the wiki? I uploaded as "Enigma2_Telnet_busybox.txt" to mypages.
(i also saw the *.odt file i uploaded as first, i hope someone can delete that file)
Curious when it will be showed, because if I did it correct we can easily copy telnet commands. /images/smiley/more_word_positive/1.gif

[Jeroensky]

omg...
I'm really a wiki noob.
Uploaded odt file, after that a txt file, but now when i look at other users, i see they upload image files.
So i realize i did stupid. /images/smiley/pfft.gif
I use now the change page, and then i realize i was correct this way.
Only issue i have now is, how can i place it on a correct wiki location. because now it's in "MyPages" and i guess I'm the only one who can see it.

I have renamed the page to E2ShellCommands

It has now been included on all the E2 menu ie. DM7025 DM800 DM8000 Vu+Duo etc as
Howto's based on the latest PLi® images

Thanks, it was some work, especially when it's the first time to use a wiki. I hope a admin will delete the uploaded ODT & TXT file.

Only thing that's not how i thought it would be: The Grab button. i thought it was away to copy the text that is in the white bar/area above it. But when i click on it it gives a lot of page code, instead of only the line of telnet/busybox code.
Maybe that someone can remove grab buttons, to prevent mistakes.

If i get updates(of users who discover/know other telnet/busybox commands then i'll update the wiki too. But the wiki already mention the Tab Tab method to see commands.

Thanks for not kicking me out the wiki, because i uploaded wrong files in the first place(odt/txt).
