Vu Ultimo - Installing .IPK files

  • Hi,


    I have copied via FTP, the locally stored .IPK files from the PC to the TMP directory on the receiver (1TB). When selecting install local extensions from the Software Management, choosing hard disk - "No displayable files on the medium". Can anyone please kindly help or point in the right direction.


    Many thanks in advance, for all your support.


    With kind regards.

  • Thanks for your advice which worked 100%. When installing the various CAMS (from .IPK files) how can you configure them?
    Does this mean we should use this directory location (receiver) to install any type of .IPK files or is it simply easier to use a USB stick?


    Also, can we use Enigma2 add-ons with Ultimo receiver (factory VIX image installed) , eg. TS-Sateditir and TSPanel or any other apps?


    With kind regards.

  • Nsharma,


    For Vix


    Cams can be configured using Softcam Manager! (This should be available in extensions shortcut! > Press Blue button on Remote and a panel should flick up with softcam manager!


    Select the Cam you want from there.....when switching Cams ensure that only one is active and the other disabled - can cause problems!


    Do whatever you feel is easier....however if you copy ipk files to /tmp file on receiver you should see them in Setup > Vix > Manage local Extensions (They should auto show there?)


    Any Enigma2 add-on should be ok in theory however some are image specific e.t.c!


    TSPANEL is a must and most addons on there are separated into Image/Receiver sections!


    just a few for you to look at!


    Tspanel
    WebRadiofs
    Youtube
    1Channel
    Filebrowser
    MediaPlayer
    CrossEpg


    Have Fun!

    Can you clarify what you mean by "configure", do you mean activate the CAMS from within the image ? What CAMS are you trying to configure ?

    It`s personal preferance buddy, whatevers the easiest way for you to use.

    Yes, you will be able to install all enigma2 plugins on the ultimo, there are compatability issues with some plugins on certain images, so its always best to have a backup image if something goes wrong.

  • Yes, you are correct in your suggestion of activating the CAM. Which one is the best CAM's to be used / activated for the VIX image?


    On a different note, when setting up a parental control password for the Ultimo receiver, is there such a thing as a Master password ,should one forget the user-defined password, in order to access the receiver?


    With kind regards.

  • have a read about various cams - all down to personal choice, setup, and how paranoid you are with regards to backdoor rumours!


    anyway if you forget the password, ftp in to your receiver - then go to /etc/enigma2 - there is a file called settings, if you look there it has the password configs, including the correct password.


    Code
    config.ParentalControl.servicepinactive=true
    config.ParentalControl.setuppin=xxxx
    config.ParentalControl.servicepin.0=xxxx


    If you want to change this, before editing, from a telnet session while logged in, type


    Code
    init 4


    then after saving the amended settings file, type


    Code
    init 3


    to restart your receiver, and your password should then be amended.


    To keep things tidy in future, if you have a new unrelated question, could you open up a new thread - this benefits users and saves us a job having to move them!

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....
