    Cams issue is weird, you must have installed it wrong somehow....or you have a crap share....
    web browser, download opera from the plugin server...


    Here is a backup i did that will work


    http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=68078



    i dont want to delete the channels i only want to hide and unhide them if possible...i will have a look at the plugin server tonight for the opera web browser....thanks

    A quick question or two....is it possible to hide channels from the bouquet lists that i dont want the kids to see like adult material .....i also installed you porn from the linuxsat support forum only to realise i couldnt put a parental lock on this or hide it in the main enigma plugins so i uninstalled it again in case they stumbled across it by accident , cant be too careful with teenagers.... i think you can do something with the blue button but havent figured out the process of how to hide and unhide , any help please....


    My cam keeps switching itself off when i go into the free to air or terrestrial chns or the iptv chns and i have to keep restarting it when i go back into the scrambled chns...sometimes it will only work with one chn at a time and every time i change chn i have to restart it with the green button and the only way to get it working right again is to restart enigma and then its fine until i go back into the fta chns etc again....have tried cam 2.13 and 2.14 , it dosent happen all the time which is strange , should i install a newer version of the cam or does it make any difference...


    Last Question , how do i get the web browser to work , i think the lx2 has one....thanks

    seems you can depending on which image you use..openatv is the one mentioned.
    If you can access HBBTV then you should be able to access web browser..


    Hi Cazuela
    i have PKT GI Xpeed LX-1 & LX-2 E2 HYPERION V4 IMAGE installed on the box but only have the box a short while so i am still in the learning curve stage , where would i find HBBTV or do i have to download it ,

    just wondering is it possible to browse the web on this box like you can on an android box and if so how do i go about installing the addon... i have google chrome on the android box with all my bookmarks etc so this would be handy to have on the lx2 but failing that any web browser would do....TIA.

    i have only got my xpeed lx2 box with a few weeks so i am learning all about this stuff from this forum and the great help of the moderators and other members and i dont mind asking the questions that might make me look stuipid as i believe that when i am getting answers to my questions others will also learn as i have done just from reading the various threads and posts on this site...we all have to start somewhere...enjoy your box

    i installed the pluginskinmover and it works great to move all the plugins etc to my hard drive and keep the internal memory of the box nice and clear and also managed to delete the plugins that dont work or only half work so thanks for that ... installed the xbmc plugin also thanks to codar instructions and it more or less works but slower than my android box but not to worry but i actually found that TS MEDIA 7.9 gets to the links much faster and have more or less the main xbmc addons anyway....is it possible to install a web browser like , chrome or firefox , opera etc on this box and would i need an external keyboard to type into the search engine or can it be done by the remote control...thanks

    mipsel.ipk or mips32el.ipk won`t install on an sh4/spark type receiver, you need sh4.ipk or all.ipk.


    If there is no option to remove in the image menu, look in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions and delete the plugin folder..


    Too many plugins will fill your flash memory and slow the receiver to a halt. Try PluginSkinMover to free up flash memory..



    There is an option to remove a plugin by hitting the RED button but when i hit the RED button it dosent do anything and the plugin is still there...i will have a look in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions and delete the plugin and also have a look at that pluginskinmover as above....thanks

    Try Ftp to temp folder and manually install from blue button


    ok thanks , so do i take it that any ipk file will work on enigma 2 and they are not dependant on what image is installed ..also how do i delete/uninstall a plugin that dosent work as the red button option to remove them dosent work , are they stored in one of the foldersthat i can go into and delete as there is no point keeping plugins that dont work imo or do they clog up the system and slow it down ....thanks

    Hi Guys
    i recently got an Lx2 and got it up and running thanks to a very obliging friend of mine....not wanting to keep hassleing him , i was wondering if i can get xbmc working on this box....reading through other forums i came across this ...... File Type: ipk enigma2-plugin-extensions-xbmcaddons_8.0_r0_all.ipk (1.77 MB, 94 views)


    would this work on my box ?
    Do i just download the file and ftp it using dcc to a folder on the lx2 and manually install using the blue button , am i on the right track or not ?
    i have installed the plugin TS MEDIA 7.8 but i think there is a version 7.9 out but it wasnt on my download list so i installed this one and it has some of the xbmc addons but none of them work even though i have iptv stations working on another plugin.....also how do i uninstall a plugin that dosent work as hitting the red button to remove a plugin dosent seem to work so i imagine they are in some folder somewhere but being a rookie with this box i have no idea where....Any advice please...thanks

    Many thanks for your suggestion - it is just very strange that parts were working ok in previous versions.... might have to revert back to a previous version to see if I can get more to work. Others that were also working such as Alluc ( and more ) are not working now in v.7.9 full.....
    I think it just don't like me ...
    Best Regards


    well i installed TS media 7.8 yesterday as this was the only option open to me although i was hoping to get xbmc this was the closest thing to that and i found that not one of the plugins worked . i got the fanart and all the other information but nothing would play...strange


    great stuff codar , thats exactly what i want to be able to do and hopefully i will get around to this over the weekend....i will install the bootloader first , then the image i.e PKT GI Xpeed LX-1 & LX-2 E2 HYPERION V4 IMAGE and then the linuxsat addons plugin...which one do i install is it the top one i.e mips32el.ipk or the bottom one i.e mipsel.ipk, ftp and how do i install this , what does ... ftp the file to /tmp then install manually from your images addon manager......mean exactly and how do i do this presuming i have got the bootloader and image installed , i know they are probably stuipid questions to you but as you know i am new to all this linux , enigma2 , images etc etc and somebody else might learn apart from me just from reading this so all help is appreciated .


    i didnt think i would be installing anything last night as the box kept rebooting every 7 miutes , kept getting a message ...we are really sorry, your reciever encountered a software problem and needs to be restarted.....


    i checked the logfile which i had to photograph as it only stayed on the screen for 5 seconds or so and it said ...not enough diskspace for timeshift ( less than 200mb )


    i updated the software online and it seems to be ok now so i was holding off on installing the bootloader , image etc in case i had to send the box back but i presume a factory reset would delete all changes i have made to the box if i have to ever send it back , dont know if this is correct or not , anyway it seems to be ok now so i can start installing all this stuff over the weekend but no doubt i will be back with more questions....thanks again for the advice...


    Nice one , i got my new Lx2 from Germany yesterday and the boot image on it is pretty basic with the Golden interstar logo and a web address and thats it, so i will be installing this tonight and an image at a later stage..Quick question for you
    is there a quick way to go from the terrestrial tuner to the sat tuner without going into the menus....didnt have much time with the box last night to play around with it but the only way i could get into the sat chns was to go into the fav menu and scroll down to *** uk , al so i wouldnt mind being able to rearrange this satellite list or even make my own lists if this is possible so any advice would be great....thanks

    CCcam will run on it, which will also work with an n-line.
    I find this is a good stable image:

    Thanks Codar ...Top Man:thumb:....i thought you had left the forum , glad to know you are still around as all your advice is much appreciated....i will send off for that box today and start getting to grips with linux boxes , enigma 2 etc etc so be patient if i post alot of what might seem stupid questions to experts like yourself and others....Rookies like me need all the help we can get....thanks again

    Hi Guys
    thinking of buying one of these boxes and what i want to know is, is it compatible with CCCam or Newcamd and do i have to download or install anything as the box i am buying is coming directly from the Golden Factoy in Germany .
    i dont think the box will come with Enigma 2 installed so a link or step by step guide to setting this box up with Enigma 2 would be great , bear in mind i am new to this box so keep it simple.....thanks in advance

    hi dhcp on , then umplug electric and plug it back


    message on screen success get ip


    i got as far as that with the " success got ip" etc and my ip address appears to be faded out so i use this ip into my address bar but still no joy so i dont know what i am doing wrong.......does it matter if i use chrome or firefox or safari or should it work on all of them..... when i enter the lines by remote control everything works fine but i just wanted to figure out why my online congigurator wont work as codar described to do , as it is quicker to type a line in . than do it by remote control , of course to upload by usb would be the handiest but allshares.dat filename dont seem to work either...i think i will just stick to the old reliable remote control to enter the details....thanks guys

    Today you don't buy F5s. You buy the latest model F5s, with 7 days epg support and picons. No fw updates for F5 anymore. Yoijatech is reliable supplier (in China though...) Search on Aliexpress.


    is the $$$boxf5s now changed to openboxV5S because of obvious name copyright problems ???

    hello gg66me


    Yes, easy to set


    i got an openbox v5s and its very easy to set up alright with a little research , seem to have a few problems with sound on the box from time to time when changing channels as the sound came through muffled until i changed chns again or had to go out of the hdmi port on my telly and then back in again so i dont know ifs its a problem with the hdmi cable but it has gold plated connectors etc so i dont think it was that , i also tried the audio settings and it seemed fine for a while but played up again..anyway i gave the box to my father in law and connected with a scart lead as he has an old telly and he hasnt complained about the sound at all ( luckily for me or i would be tormented ) and says he has no probs with it....youporn kept buffering and pausing aswell but you tube streamed fine so maybe i got a dodgy box and maybe i can update the firmware when an update comes out but i dont suppose he will be worried about youporn .....sorry for going a bit off topic but thats how i got on with the openbox V5S...anyone experienced these problems and a fix for them let me know....thanks
