    I don’t understand all the fuss here.

    I have a favor to ask of you. Please evaluate my answer to a specific request as an Enigma2 encoder - correct answer or not? Don't read satinfo posts, just the question ( post 11) - answer ( post 12). Is that the right answer or did I kill his receiver?

    Here are two examples of how to determine whether you are using MBR or GPT:

    MBR Partition:


    parted /dev/mmcblk1 print

    Model: SD SD01G (sd/mmc)

    Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 1030MB

    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

    Partition Table: msdos

    Disk Flags:


    Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

    1 124kB 1030MB 1030MB primary fat16 lba



    GPT Partition:


    parted /dev/mmcblk0 print

    Model: MMC 8GME4R (sd/mmc)

    Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7818MB

    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

    Partition Table: gpt

    Disk Flags:


    Number Start End Size File system Name Flags

    1 1049kB 4194kB 3146kB boot

    2 4194kB 8389kB 4194kB splash

    3 8389kB 41.9MB 33.6MB rescue

    4 41.9MB 50.3MB 8389kB linuxkernel1

    5 50.3MB 58.7MB 8389kB linuxkernel2

    6 58.7MB 67.1MB 8389kB linuxkernel3

    7 67.1MB 75.5MB 8389kB linuxkernel4

    8 75.5MB 83.9MB 8389kB linuxkernel5

    9 83.9MB 92.3MB 8389kB linuxkernel6

    10 92.3MB 101MB 8389kB linux-swap(v1) linuxkernel7

    11 101MB 109MB 8389kB linuxkernel8

    12 109MB 377MB 268MB swap

    13 377MB 7818MB 7441MB ext4 userdata


    Yes, you can switch back to the old RL104 at any time if your partition uses MBR. However,

    there’s no need to change anything, as the rescue image is not loaded during normal operation. As the name suggests,

    it’s an rescue system.

    As for support, the old RL104 is no longer supported since the company no longer exists. So,

    it doesn’t matter whether you use RL104 or a newer version—if you encounter problems,

    you’ll have to resolve them on your own.

    Sure, thanks, but that's not what I asked.

    I have been made a fool of here ( and on the pirate forum). So please answer the question. If you don't want to spoil your relationship with Dream Elite coder, don't answer it.

    You asked about the question in post 11, where it was asked whether it’s possible to revert from RL117 in legacy mode back to RL104. My response was specifically addressing post 11, nothing more and nothing less. If you don’t understand the context, you definitely shouldn’t make any changes.

    I didn't ask the question!!!! Post 11 is not mine!!! I didn't ask for help!!! Do you read what I write!!!?

    PS: Sad. Instead of admitting that I'm right - so many useless posts.

    Never take personally what is posted on forums, as there is people that have a lot to do (OpenATV is very active, and Captain is OpenATV) and cannot read all the topic/posts, or others could be wrong, other see something else than you (could be wrong or right as there is always more than one way to do things) or there is always some dickhead that wants to get things going to hell.


    So, never take personally things posted on forums, keep the line to your knowledge and share it, this pays if you stick to that without being draged to inflamatory discussions. We, all, if we want to help, keep our ego in a side, always.

    Your stupidity makes me laugh. And I'm sorry you don't get it. Read his post and my response again and prove to everyone that I'm stupid and you're smart.

    And I'll prove to you otherwise. Although I have already proved it - I highlighted his statement in red. He has RL 117, but no GPT. And the solution in this case is my link. And GPT requires an SD card (emergency repair sd-card). But I don't know GPT and I wouldn't be of any help.

    Now give your ,,smart” answer to his post. Don't philosophize, but give a specific answer to his message. If you respond with nonsense rather than a specific answer to his question - then who are you? Let Zozman write his answer to his problem too.

    Hi, you said it exactly and perfectly, for me too... thank you :smiling face with sunglasses:

    Ok

    What you’re writing is complete nonsense.
    Blaming someone else because you are not respecting licenses
    If you don’t respect licenses and simply ignore them, you shouldn’t be surprised that everyone is complaining about openATV

    Hi


    Dreambox Team Company does not respect anyone. It sells devices to users, and when there is any defect, there is no maintenance or warranty on its devices. Even the support on its website has not been updated for three years.


    As for the OpenATV team, I have all my respect for them.

    OpenTV supports Dreambox devices for others and helps as much as possible.


    Thanks OpenATV Team

    What kind of licenses are you talking about? about Gutamin's whining?! so a huge number of users don't give a damn about it. also, despite his claims, if he wants to make sure that his work is not used by other programmers, he will encrypt his files in so.The rest of what you write is just butt-licking gutamin

    I’m personally not a fan of GLUTAMINES plugin or the way that person presents himself. This is disrespectful against other people.

    I’m not bothered by Gutemine’s whining, because I don’t pay any attention to such childish behavior.

    However, the individual’s competence and ability are outstanding, and he / she has achieved things that many others could never have accomplished.

    Unfortunately, that’s how it is.......


    Yes, it’s true: if you don’t want your plugins to be “stolen” or “used” by other teams or developers, you need to make sure they can’t be decompiled.

    I’m generally talking about respecting the licenses that a developer embeds in their plugins - whether a closed-source license or an open-source license.

    People just take them without asking, so the work and ideas of the developers or plugin creators aren’t properly acknowledged, and when errors occur they’re sent to the manufacturer’s or creator’s support.

    That isn’t the right way to do things.

    It would be much easier if everyone treated each other with respect.

    monuser
    The Dreambox company itself has respected every time every user. You can not complain to a company when some some Dreambox users in the community acts disrespectful. Also in the open* community there are people who not respects the dreambox community. This will always be part of each community in the world.

    Gutemine gradually worked his way up on the backs of other developers and fame eventually went to his head mainly with the support and sycophancy of various "rectal climbers" on boxpirates and the like. He started "protecting" plugins, but not because of any protection against theft, but just because he felt that he had power over people and could blackmail them, that it had to be his way and if not, then so be it......


    I had probably every box model that Dreambox ever released, and those years taught me not to use any plugins from such "specialists" as Gutemine. You could always find an alternative, or if not, it was better to simply give up some functionality.


    But that has been discussed a thousand times over the years on various forums.

    Nosce te ipsum.
