To Install the serviceapp, do I just need to do:
Codeopkg update opkg install ffmpeg exteplayer3 enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceappYes, if it's not preinstalled, due to the capacity of your box the image could have it already installed as it's 1 Gb / 512 Mb, so plenty of space on the published image to have all in it already.

I have now installed the exteplayer3, do I need to remove the gstplayer to be able to use it or how does it work?

I think I will start by finding a OpenPli that supports my box, Do you know which one is the latest version? then once that is done im going to get the exteplayer3 to work then hopefully everything should be fine.

For me it's software/firmware/image related, as your box DM800HDseV2 is still good and has a lot of RAM/Flash, to compensate some lower CPU speed (400 Mhz DuoCore).
OpenATV is a "slow image", try OpenPLi for DM800HDseV2, I think that it's much lighter and you could be surprised by much better results.
You can also try to use exteplayer3 instead of gstreamer, you will also have big differences between these two players.

Wow thanks for the fast reply! Do you know where I can get the latest OpenPLi so I don't pick the incorrect one? Also how can I try to choose extenplayer3 instead of gstremer? Where do I do that if I might ask?
Install serviceapp and change player to extplayer3.
As for images, in this similar sub section, check if any new images for your specific model.To Install the serviceapp, do I just need to do:

Hello guys!
I have been using Dreambox atleast for over 5 years and i'm still using satellite as well as IPTV. Using Satellite there is no problem when using HD channels where it works all perfectly however as soon as I use IPTV then some channels lags quite alot when using HD and even the sound as well. I thought first it had to do with my network but when I tested through VLC then it worked totally fine so what I had to do was to use VLC -> Render to chromecast but I don't believe its a solution for me since it did work from the beginning watching HD but now lately more and more channels starts to lag. Feels like the dreambox is sort of giving up?
However I dont wan't to give up yet and Im still too bad at this since my knowledge is not as strong as you guys and I do hope that you guys can help me out.What I know is that I believe im using OpenATV 6.3, Dreambox DM800 HD SE v2 clone.
I would really appreciate if you guys could come up with suggestion on how I can maybe improve or know how to fix the dreambox to stop lag when using IPTV HD channels?

Hello guys!
So today it happen something very weird. When trying to switch channels the Dreambox just reboot. After that it ended in a loop of reboots and I decided to re-flash to a new image (OpenATV) and it works until I try to search for channels via Sat. As soon as I try to make automatic/manually search for channels it straight reboots.
Now the problem is that I can't get any channels from Ccam anymore and I don't know what hte issue is honestly. Things I have tried to do:
- Re-flashed to new image
- Removed the cable from satellite to Dreambox and tried to search for channels without the cable in
and thats it. and I do still get reboot of that. What can I do to fix that?

Oh what?! Where is it? I cant really find it?!
Since you translate from Swedish you can get help in the Nordic section where we speak Swedish ;)

Oh lord, It is not looking well... Might I ask you what you suggest to use for box mostly for IP-tv I guess what I have been told? Unless you use other stuff of course... However, I do appreciate your answer a lot and atleast I know where I should be heading.
I don't know how I wrote, so I never tried it because I don't use and hate Dreambox :).
Unfortunately, the motherboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97AR/specifications/ does not have a serial RS-232 port, so you need to purchase a USB-to-Serial adapter + null-modem communication data cable. Buy any USB-to-Serial with FTDI chipset and install a driver if necessary. USB-to-Serial will certainly work. I use it often in any PC. Unfortunately, there are occasional problems with installing Windows OS drivers.
As for the "NCF SIM2 v2.1" tool, I don't know if it will work. I didn't try it.

Oh thank you for the awesome information here! As you said there is a RS232 indeed on the back and as you have mentioned it seems that I require the RS232 cable for sure to get it fixed. I did just check if my motherboard did have the RS232 but it seems like this is the only options I have
(sorry for the big picture)
So this is not looking very good on that side and also Idid check the USB-to-RS232 and here in Sweden they do take around 40-60$ for a converter like that, is that a normal price?
It does seems like it might end up needing to actually upgrade it because I don't feel like I wanna really spend 40$+ for a cable that I might actually do something wrong again or maybe that will not even be my solution for the problem?
Do you maybe know how much percentage it is that it will actually work with USB-to-RS232 with using "Dreambox NO CA FOUND Repair Tool NCF SIM2 v2.1" tool even though you said you haven't tried it? :)Display MoreThe magic word is "RS-232 interface". If you know the speed and setup of the RS-232 in the set top box, a mull-modem cable with a simple wiring (with no hardware handshaking), that is, just over 2 wires + GND, should suffice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…l_modem_DB-9_xon-xoff.svg
So you need to run RS232 serial communication to diagnose problems between your PC and set top box. The DM800 HD should have a RS232 connector on the back. If you do not have an RS232 interface on your computer (connector on the motherboard), you can use a USB-to-Serial (USB-to-RS232) interface. Sometimes problems may arise when installing drivers in Windows. It depends on the Windows version and the update.
Then download and start PUTTY into Windows and open a new session of "Serial" type where you will set the used COM port? (can be found through the "Windows" control panel) and speed (depending on the set top box, by default, almost everywhere 9600 or 115200). Then just turn off and on the set top box and watch PUTTY.
Also in case of "rescue mode" you will need this connection method if you want to flash something into the box. Through the RS232 interface, it should be possible to load a new bootloader. You could do this with the "Dreambox NO CA FOUND Repair Tool NCF SIM2 v2.1" tool. Since I haven't done it yet, I won't tell you the exact procedure. Unfortunately, you have to search the internet.
But be careful, it's no fun. On Google you will find many tutorials, as well as how to upload the bootloader for DM800 HD. Of course, be sure you have a clone or not.

Hello everybody!
It is so that unfortunately I am the victim of the family to be the one who is to cook all technical objects even though I have no experience in things.
I was commissioned to fix a dreambox DM800 HD where I would flash for a new OpenPLI 7.0 that I have read was the latest. I had no idea if the box was cloned or not but I took the risk to start by downloading a cloned OpenPLI 7.0. Before that, I turned off power from the dreambox, held the power button and put the power back on. Then there was an IP address that I entered in Firefox 3.0 (had to downgrade firefox) and then I took a cloned version. Then I found it was Invalid IMAGE. Tested another cloned and everyone gave me Invalid IMAGE and in my head I thought it was then original box. I downloaded an original image and then worked flashed, booted and then it says ERROR: No CA FOUND - I have seen that there were quite a few who had that problem and that you have to buy a cord called nullmodem etc. It would also go with the USB Mini said but the modem I have in front of me does not have access to it but has only two common USB inputs.
I tested to take out power, hold the power button and then bring in the power but nothing further, it's stuck to NO CA FOUND. I do not know if I should now give up and buy me an Android BOX which I assume is the easiest (Minix) for the family but before I notify them so I wonder if there is something I can do to fix the dreambox or is it simply break down and just buy new ones?
Now I do not have the best experience either, went from Google today and this is how far I have come up with the knowledge so please, was not too hard on me.
Appreciate all kind of help! -
Hello everyone!
So it all started by that one day when I used the TV. so I tried to change channel and then puffff. It popped a green screen where it said dreambox has crashed and needs to restart. so I thought it was a one thing and it wasn't. so whatever I did it happend like that all the time. so what I did was to re-flash it again as usual with turn off the power and then press the flash button from the back side and turn it and then flash via browser which I always did and with the same flash. now what happends is that when its flashed done then it comes a sunrays that is loading to 50% and then it the dreambox is turning off by himself and when turning it again. it does the same thing. how can I fix this?

Now I got it to work but whenever I start it. it gives me a green crash error and reboots and then does it again all the time.

It`s not clear whether you downloaded something from TSPanel, updated it or did a software / image update.
Please clarify what exactly you did or what you installed before the receiver started to boot loop..
Oh my bad. Okey so I will start over.
So I just flashed to TSIMAGE 3.0 and wanted to download CCCam and realized that I need to get TSPanel to be able to download CCCam. So I needed to do a software update (In the box) to get TSPanel. So When im trying to install the new software updates then it all happens that causing the bootloop.
EDIT: There isnt anything else im downloading before that. Just straight from flash to trying to install the TSPanel via Software update.

Hello all!
Im kinda new at this and bought a DM800HD SE V2. So what I started to do is to get a image (TSimage_3.0_OE-2.0-dm800sev2-9-28-ramiMAHER) and it worked fine until I saw I couldnt get CCCam without updating the software (Where the TSPanel needs for). When im trying to do. it is 100% Downloaded and it needs to reboot. after the reboot it just bootlooping all the time and need to re-flash it. What do I have to do?
