Hi Fellas.
I'm going to leave it for now. My wife just said "why spend all that time messing with it, when we can just watch kodi through android and what if it crashes".
I'm thinking she's got a point. So I will leave it for now and wait for an update or maybe think about putting an image on it to try and get sly working. I'm not a techie so I will have a look around and post for tips.
Thanks fellas for replying.

Hi Mate.
Thanks for the reply.
Tried bootloader method a few times on new fat 32 formatted cards and no luck. Software update did not recognise that there was a file there. Card inserted with machine on and off, still the same. Gave up after a few hours trying.
Thanks again for trying to help.

Hi Everybody.

I was running my wetek using openelec on a micro card for kodi and now for some reason it won't boot from the card.
A while ago the machine did do an update OTA and afterwards the first screen to show says "press power button to boot from micro card" but the machine won't. It just goes into the normal wetek screen and it does recognise that there is a card in the slot and the cards can be opened to show files that are present.
I have tried 4 different cards and none will boot. version of openelec is 6.0.3. It may be something simple I'm missing, I just can't pick up on it.

Thanks in advance for any replies

Hi Techcare.
I am trying to install a couple of games for the kids and my wetek is saying I haven't enough memory.
Before I saw your post, I read elsewhere to format the 2nd portion of the card to ext2 format, which didn't work so I just tried your method of fat32/ext4 (sandisk 16gb card)and had the same error message .......
"Mount script cannot be created - mount invalid argument"
Is there a way around this ?
Thanks in advance.

cheers honcho
like I say mate I'm confused with it. I had it on a firestick and installed it on the play. just the openelec wont have it or anything else for that matter. it wont do anything. I just thought it might be me never used openelec before. ill try again tomorrow I've had enough of it now. by the way can you post a link to your back up and if I cant do it ill try yours, could I put yours over the top of mine. would I have to reformat my card to do it. is it fat32 or something else
thanks again

Hi Honcho
tried that and still no joy. blackbox shows up enabled as mentioned above and in the add on repository info screen I have the choice of uninstalling or disabling, launch, update configure etc options are all greyed out.
thanks for replying

They both show as installed and enabled but do nothing when you click on them and on the kodi home screen there are no add ons to click on. no error messages.

Hi fellas
New-ish to kodi and just purchased a wetek play and it came with openelec. when I try to add a repo or add on it wont let me. installed kodi on a fire stick and the wetek play itself and it was fine, but I cant get nothing to work on the openelec side. black box and mucky duck show up as installed but wont work
is there something I'm missing ?
thanks in advance

Hi Honcho
Sorted using "Dream-Elite-Blackhole-DM800-2012-06-16"
dvbsnoop and Auto Bouquets installed with a usb stick.
Thanks for the replies

Hi Mate
Ill give blackhole a try. Never used dreambox edit
cheers.

Hi
I am using this image on a dm800hd clone
"Merlin-3-dm800-2012-03-18-ramiMAHER-e3 #ssl84b".
I couldn't get autobuoqets to work but have managed to download and install rats bouquets 1.4. When I go into the bouquets they are all there but channels grey and if I press ok it says " check tuner configuration".
If I go to "all channels", all the channels are present.
also when I try to telnet dvbsnoop it says * Cannot find package dvbsnoop.
I have tried these with telnet -
"opkg install dvbsnoop" and also "opkg update && opkg install dvbsnoop"
I have also tried FTPing, no luck.
Are these problems connected ?
Or can anyone recommend an Image for dm800hd clone 84b where they have managed to get bouquets working.

Thanks

Hi Everybody.
Will this work on dm800se cable open atv 5.1 image and does the menu "pop up" so that it is easy to do. I'm looking to eventually install ts panel/media so will be asking how, and my info screen on image tells me I only have 1mb memory left.
I do have 500gb hdd installed could this be used , if so how? A guide for dummies would be great.
Thanks

Hi All
Just an update.
A friend of a friend managed to sort it. He told me that he had managed to connect it with an old pc running XP, a com port and serial/usb cable and usb/mini usb adapter cable and dream up 1.3.3.9.
He said it could be my laptop and windows 7 defender.
Driver not working correctly.
My usb slot faulty.
A dodgy cable.
Anti-virus blocking it - or a mixture of all the lot.

I hope this little checklist helps others and a big thanks to those who replied to me.
Cheers

Hi
All replies help : ) Do you know if an dm800hd sim will fit, a mate got one, but I don't want to fook that up.
cheers

Hi Mate
Again thanks for the reply.
I didn't get a CD in the box so I have downloaded this and tried it "USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver for DM800SE" from the dreambox.de website, still no joy.
I have sent for a serial to usb lead and usb to mini usb adapter. Should be here end of the week. Also the few opti flashers I've tried, none seem to be for A8P sim ? Any ideas are appreciated.
Can't seem to make any progress and looking on other sites it seems a common problem.
Once again thanks.

Hi Maazkhan
Cheers for replying.
Downloaded what you said, my problem is I can't connect the box, by opti flasher, NCF, network and 3 different versions of dream up.
Once I suss out how to connect I will give these a try. Used the mini flash and that gets stuck on "2nd stage failed" Another member on this site says he had same problem and got it sorted, so I've asked him how to solve and hopefully he/she will reply.
Thanks again.

Hi Mosho / everyone
How did you sort it, when I press mini flash it comes up 2nd stage failed. Then when you press on off button to connect to dream up and to get ip it goes back to r01 no ca error. Even when I try with all cables in and then holding mini flash at same time I cant connect.
Forgot to add dm800se c (CABLE) a8p sim. Any help appreciated.
cheers

Hi Everone
I have got no ca error on my dm800se c clone (cable) it has an A8P Sim. I think I flashed wrong image?
Can anyone point me to the correct version of an error fixer,(couldn't get yassinov to connect). a cable image and if needed a boot loader for it.
Sorry if it sounds a lot but I've been going round in circles for last week or so.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Master G
I got pi***d off with it so I ended up flashing openpli jade and got it to work with that. It was a friend's box and he asked me to have a look at it but I'm only a newbie myself and used it to experiment. It seems sorted now and I pointed him in the direction of this site and how helpful you've been.
Cheers.

Hi Guys
Tried the Cccam as mentioned above. Now blue button menu is saying "No third party softcam binary was found".
Obviously I'm still missing something. Could not find the libcrypto file for the Mgamd option.
