Hi everyone,
The past few days I've been playing with my DM800 HD, since yesterday I get every 10 minutes or so, in the left top of the screen the 'gears' icon/animation. When this happens, I still get picture and can continue to view, but everything else freezes on the dreambox, I can't change channel, I can't go into menus etc. It takes about 30 seconds before I can switch again.
Any idea what this could be?
That spinner is an indication the image is struggling to process your request, probably the flash memory is nearly maxed out, free up some space by removing unused plugins, make sure you have EPG or picons setup to USB, also look at setting up a swapfile..
Hmm that could be it, because I noticed this after installing a plugin E2BU, this is a plugin that creates bouquets, there where 2 versions, 1 without picon updater and 1 with picon updater, I installed the one with picon updater.
Is it possible to FTP to the dreambox and remove the picons? Where are they located?
Any link to where I can find help/info to set the EPG and/or picons to USB? Also for the swapfile? Sorry I'm very new to the Dreambox, feel like I landed on a different planet. :)
Thanks!
if you have TSpanel installed then its Tools1 - Uninstaller
then blue button to remove what you wish?
QuoteIs it possible to FTP to the dreambox and remove the picons? Where are they located?
It is possible, but i`m not familiar with E2BU plugin so don`t know the location it has sent the picons to, you could try looking in /usr/share/enigma2 for the folder named picon, then remove it..

If its CrossEPG you are using then follow this guide HERE - http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…ackhole-epg-settings.html
Download a picon pack from HERE - Picons, the picon images must be inside a folder named picon for the image to recognise it, FTP this picon folder to /media/usb, your image should be able to see the picons after a reboot (usb will need to be mounted and mapped to /media/usb)..
QuoteAlso for the swapfile?
This is usually done within the image menu, if you can`t find this option take a look at this guide HERE - Manually Creating a Swapfile..
Maybe easier to run the 'top' command in telnet to see what process it's struggling with. Or type 'free' or 'df' in telnet to see what space you have left.
