Noob question

Morning!It's dead easy mate once you've done it a few times.Your box(Vu etc)will be connected to your network via Ethernet or wifi.I have mine connected via Ethernet cable which runs from my Solo2,through my living room wall and upto my bedroom where it is connected to my router.My PC is up there so I find it easier doing it that way.Steady and fast.Then you download a ftp program to your PC/Laptop.Any will do.You've mentioned a couple.I use Flash FXP.They all do the same job.Once you've entered login details usually your box IP address and Username-root,password left blank,you should be connected to your box where you can add numerous stuff.(Plugins,Channel lists etc).The Vu boxes are very easy to update and add plugins.You can add loads of stuff depending on what image you use(Blackhole,Vix,etc.)through the addons page in the menu and re flash a new image via USB so you can try different images to see which suits you best.And the best thing is there is always someone here on this forum to pull you out of the s**t!(Er,I mean help you).I highly recommend the Vu Solo2 but there are many great boxes out there so good luck and ENJOY!!

Quote from Blackie42

So I tried the instructions from this thread
http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=69653 but the box crashed.

So I copied CCcam 2.3.0 & CCcam.cfg(+ addedline details at bottom) from right hand dialogue box in DCC to the etc directory. Is this correct?
thanks again

what do you mean by "copied CCcam 2.3.0 to /etc "??
This is not correct..
You should have followed master G´s post#8 to the letter.
I had already given you all the highlighted threads in post#3....
etc folder-> CCcam.cfg
usr/bin -> CCcam
usr/Camscript -> CCcam.sh
usr/uninstall -> CCcam.del

However
best bet for all your needs is to install our Addons plugin enigma2-plugin-extensions-linuxsat-support-addons_1.2_mips32el.ipk
From there you can download and it will auto install.
how to : FTP the IPK over to var/volatile/tmp folder
then on your remote control pressGREEN-YELLOW ->manually install Ipk packages.
press OK-> you will see the ipk->press OK-> prompt: yes.
Full restart of the box .
look in plugins menu and you will see the Addons-> cams-blackhole 2.x.x -> your choice of cams.
once restarted after downloading/installing the cam you then press BLUE and use the arrows <- or -> to find installed cam
then OK to autostart the cam.
you can also install channel lists ,etc from our Addons...

read or bookmark all the threads I linked in post #3.
They will be very handy for you as you are progressing.
Good to hear youre making progress bud !!
you should add your box and image version in your signature
