In Topic: Picons not visible

10 October 2018 - 10:29

Folder name must be "picon", not "Picon"

 

The folder name was "picon", but it doesn't work, so I decided to format the HD, make the folder, copy the picons and, yes, it works.
Maybe there was something damaged in the hd's file system

I'm not an expert, can You explain me better?

 

A VPN is a tunnelling protocol. which simply said puts an IP packet inside another IP packet. So the amount of data you send increases, which in turn may increase latency and jitter (delay and variation in the delay). On top of that, most VPN's use data encryption, so you need processor power to encrypt/decrypt the inner IP packet. This is the main reason why most home routers with VPN capacity only support a few VPN's at low throughput speeds.

 

The CPU component in the SoC (the chip than does everything in an STB) is originally only designed to display the GUI of the box, so it doesn't have much computing power, especially on the cheap low-end models. The new high-end ARM CPU's are better.

 

 

Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand!

 

Thank you very much!

Not to mention the 30% protocol overhead you have with a VPN.

Zgemma H2 is a very low end box I doubt that it can handle properly IPTV through a VPN.

 

In fact, this is my fear

Why buy an STB if only IPTV is used? Buy an IPTV only box....

 

Because I don't use IPTV only
