    New plugin by Delfi/tromo:


    "In the feeds WiFi AP/hotspot"


    Apparently, working especially well in boxes with built-in WiFi devices... ;)


    More from Delfi:

    "Makes most sense on boxes with built in WiFi (osmio4k*, sf8008, etc..)

    Low RAM impact and CPU strain.

    In the feeds as enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-wifiap

    MENU--> PurE2 plugins --> Setup WiFi AP


    Preset Value should work in most cases, if the adapter/wifi device is 5GHz capable or can function in a best mode possible (a very rough guess, with wifi, permutations and surprises are... many), that is a preferred mode.


    Due to almost countless combinations of interaction between the kernel and wifi drivers, it is possible to setup non working stuff in "Advanced" mode, so... beware. This is still, sort of beta stuff.


    Boring Tech notes:


    Should work on most boxes like DMMs, VUs, that have some features in the kernel enabled or do not practice some protection via Ethernet iface.


    Some USB adapters on some kernels cannot work in AP/hotspot mode. For example Mediatek mt7601u driver does not work, but on a different/older kernel mt7601uSTA might be ok. Similar situation is with once popular Alfa AWUS036H long range based on 8187B wifi chipset. Commercial AP devices and routers usually have custom drivers that work in a one of 2-3 dedicated modes. Sadly, miracles can not happen all the time.


    Did not check old rt73, they could make problems as well, besides they need so much power that your PS might not be happy.


    EDIT: just found old rt73 b+g Asus USB wifi stick lying in the dust, and it works ok on sf8008 as a 2nd WiFi adapter.


    New rtl8812AU and similar AC1200 stuff seems to work very nice (again, on some kernels).

    In the future release it ***might*** be possible to use active wifi adapter both as a client and an AP, but, again, not many drivers are capable of this. Therefore, as it is, it makes sense for users that have a box connected to a wire and might need an additional AP.


    Due to some tech drama, this is not available for SH4 boxes, but we''ll try to solve it if possible.


    Some older chipsets like rtl8182eu used in many boxes (well, depending on the HW revision), might support "n" mode in 5 GHz band. Whether it works in your individual case is, sadly a question of luck. 5 GHz band is probably a better choice due to 2.4 band congestion and speed, but, to really work decently, it needs a clear path between a client and AP, or, at least, multi antennae capability between both, the AP (your box) and client (your phone or laptop).


    On the other hand, 2.4 GHz band is usually better with penetration thru obstacles like walls, etc.


    Really boring stuff about the channel choice for your AP:


    Some Realtek (and other) devices are nice to suggest a best ch available. This sound great, but actually it is not really, as these wild guess suggestions are based (usually) only on 20MHz bandwith, or in the best case 40MHz, alas in some rather lazy mode. If one is curios, a check can be made from telnet and:


    cat /proc/net/rtl8192eu/wlan0/best_channel


    of course, adjust as per your device.


    Usually it makes a senseless suggestion, so --> channel choice is up to you. There are decent apps for smartphones (wifi scanners) that might help you with the right choice.


    As always YMMW.


    Have fun and may the wifi force be with you."

    Ok, Iwaatch-fnc is NOW both in plugins dload for 6.2 and hopefully in most (if not all) 6.3 feeds. Really good connection quality and no nonsense stuff.
    Other stuff work in progress. CH settings (ch lists) updated as well with latest from ciefp and morpheus, as well as softcamkey dloader stuff.

    Hi Everyone, as my local media transmission had been change to T2 network, the volume is very soft even when the volume on the Tv/box had adjusted to the maximum. Please tell me how to increase the volume further? Thank you

    Have you set auto volume to ON by any chance ?


    Menu - setup - system - audio settings

    LookSeries-FNC

    LiveFeeds-FNC

    ...fixed


    ...update for 6.2 (and 6.3 if not yet in the 6.3 feeds)....

    Hi Everyone, recently installed the new v6.3 Pure2 image. I had tried using original player and exteplayer3, it seem to freeze during playback and I had to go back to v6.2 which is very stable. I love this PurE2 image, it is awesome. Masters of PurE2, please help. Thank you

    More info, m8... otherwise how do we know what and how...???

    Hi Gorski, thank you for your reply. I am very sorry for being too brief. I am using a Duo2 and it freezes during playback of the recorded Tv shows. I had tried using the original player and also Exteplayer3, but sadly both also freezes after some time in playback. Please help

    I know of a series of issues with respect to playback on Vu products, on account of various codecs/formats not being supported by Vu. Just check out their partners, over on OpenPLi forum, reporting such issues every so often and the issues not being resolved by Vu (or their HW manufacturers, like Broadcom who provide kernel and drivers or at least most of it?)...


    Get Zgemma H7 and enjoy, most probably... ;) I am not at home to check a specific file but...
