Thanks; i guess i can try swaping enig2 from a patched bld..
No, it won't. You have several options though.
1. Get the enigma2 binary from another OpenPLi based image where patch is applied.
2. Someone write a python script to patch OpenPLi enigma2 binary, it will change the 0x22 to 0x7, its easy if you know the offset.
