Its been reported this week that there was a major caching problem on some lines, meaning a lot of encrypted channels were not clearing.

This might be your problem, it might not.

From what I read it is temporary and will be fixed shortly.

2) When the file has downloaded and been saved to your computer unzip it.

You will then have a file named as the version that you have unzipped. Inside that folder you should have another folder named H9 and other files named bootargs.bin and fastboot.bin .

a) Copy the all of the three files/docs to a freshly formatted (FAT32) USB key. I used a generic 16gb key but most should work if formatted correctly. Most errors are created with this simple task so make sure that you do not take any short cuts.



3) Turn off your H9 receiver with the white button at the rear next to power input.



4) Plug in your USB key with the three files on it in any of the two rear USB ports.



5)On the rear of the receiver you will find a small black button named "Reset".

Hold this button down (push in) whilst turning on the rear white power push button.

Keep the button pushed in until you see the front AirDigital logo (front LCD panel) display change from Blue> Red.

When it goes RED you can remove your finger from the reset button.

The receiver will now continue to flash (approx 2minutes) and the display will flash Red/Blue whilst flashing.



6) The box will then restart itself so leave it alone untill you see the set-up wizard on the TV display.



7) You should then run the onscreen wizard using the remote control untill you complete the set-up process.



8) REMOVE THE USB KEY WITH THE BOOT FILES BEFORE REBOOTING THE RECEIVER.

Mini is in the title because its a small review.

The dinobot mini didn't even exist when I wrote this, my friend.

:P

More information required.

What is wrong with your audio.

Probably can't beat the Dinobot 4k for ticking all your boxes,

And if you are more of an android man than enigma2 man, then the dinobot 4k mini, might be a good call.
Pretty much same spec as the Dinobot 4k but with a smaller compact remote aimed more at the android side.

If you want a dual tuner sat as well as cable (so you can record and watch different sat channels), then zgemma h7s is a good option but only a dual core and not quad core like the dinobot, its still a fast box though....and if you need wifi you would have to use a wifi dongle.

Just a minor update to this review.

When I got round to doing a full update of the software (First week in Sept 2018).

Details here....

Dinobot 4K Update - Including missing E2 afterwards ( Solved )

This box is now working pretty much flawlessly.

The slow redraw has been totally erradicated.

The lack of standby I mention above, was actually a skin error and not a box error.

There is still a potential problem with the LCD check keep repeating itself in the background, doesn't effect usage though.

LED seems to behaving itself now as well.

There was a batch of these being sold at £99 each on fleebay last week, so worth keeping your eye out for deals on there.

:thumbup:

3 days on the forum... user blocked... that must be some sort of record for me blocking someone. Good luck in your quest for answers.

And try looking at mine and jokosats stats and history. It might actually open your eyes about the input and help we offer on this forum.

As I said in my original thread, I have no way of testing this. So I am just guessing.

Firstly you need to make sure any named colours are in skin.xml otherwise use colour hex values.

You reference graphic files... do they exist in novum skin.

dish and dishpip screens still exists in openvix and openatv code so that should be no problem

https://github.com/OpenViX/eni…ib/python/Screens/Dish.py

https://github.com/openatv/eni…ib/python/Screens/Dish.py

So have a look at the variables and see if they exist in that screen class. (which they seem to)

dish screen

class Dish(Screen):
    STATE_HIDDEN = 0
    STATE_SHOWN  = 1
    def __init__(self, session):
        Screen.__init__(self, session)
        self["Dishpixmap"] = BlinkingPixmapConditional()
        self["Dishpixmap"].onVisibilityChange.append(self.DishpixmapVisibilityChanged)
        self["turnTime"] = Label("")
        self["posFrom"] = Label("")
        self["posGoto"] = Label("")
        self["From"] = Label(_("From :"))
        self["Goto"] = Label(_("Goto :"))
        self["Tuner"] = Label(_("Tuner :"))
        self["tunerName"] = Label("")
        self["turnSpeed"] = Label("")

dishpip screen

class Dishpip(Dish, Screen):
    STATE_HIDDEN = 0
    STATE_SHOWN  = 1
    def __init__(self, session):
        Screen.__init__(self, session)
        self["Dishpixmap"] = Boolean(fixed=True, poll=1500)
        self["turnTime"] = Label("")
        self["posFrom"] = Label("")
        self["posGoto"] = Label("")
        self["From"] = Label(_("From :"))
        self["Goto"] = Label(_("Goto :"))
        self["tunerName"] = Label("")
        self["turnSpeed"] = Label("")

Never used or tried novum skin. Is that built via a plugin or is it just static files.

If it's built via plugin you might need to copy and paste that code into a user skin file.

etc/enigma2/skin_user_skinname.xml

<skin>
...
</skin>

The other thing I would try is a live debug.

Open up a telnet session.

init 4

enigma2

Then try and move your dish and see what errors (if any are being reported)

init 3

to start your box again.

MasterG , I wouldn't even bother helping this person.

In fact I would be surprised from his pathetic responses if anyone helps him at all.

It's general forum etiquette you like and appreciate responses. Not slag the person off for trying to help.

It's nice he has decided to dislike all the posts that have tried to assist him with his problem.

How to use the remote channel stream converter plugin

So basically you want everyone to wipe your backside for you. ...

Thread unfollowed. good luck.

Your skin folder live in usr/share/enigma2/....

Most skins just have one file skin.xml that have all the screens in. You would have to search the relevant skins to find the parts you want.

<screen name="Dish" ....

or

<screen name="Dishpip"

er..... going through my memory banks, I answered this very question before.

er...

sorry link is for another forum (tut tut)

http://www.techkings.org/threads/metrix-hd-skin.90944/

ever heard of google.

First result, this very forum.

[How To] Install an ipk file on any enigma2 receiver

but if you still need to / wish to install ipk on vix you don't need to telnet.

Don't know what image you are using as you say its experimental.

OpenVix install instructions

• Menu > setup > VIX > Ipkg install
• memory/tmp
• Press ok on the package
• press green to install.

OpenATV install instructions

• Menu... setup... software management... install local extension
• memory/tmp
• Press ok on the package
• press green to install.

epg importer git190 in plugin feeds, should all be working again now. Should be no need to install an older version.

(just avoid git189 - that is the broken one)

Would you not need the port number with your boxes ip?

i.e 80 or 8001

hi skinnac I have tried everything but couldn't install E2 on my u5pvr tried mac.txt,used 3 new sd cards wasted them but the receiver won't boot to E2,can you upload video how to install E2

skinnac? KiddaC thanks.

Where to find online update.

how to add your new MAC details. (USB stick not SD card)

http://u5pvr.blogspot.com/2017…ress-after-upgrading.html

If your SD card has absolutely no enigma2 image on there is instructions here.

https://u5pvr.blogspot.com/201…2/u5pvr-with-enigma2.html

otherwise just download an image I use openatv.

http://images.mynonpublic.com/…ndex.php?open=dinobot4kse

And flash it as normal.

USB in rear usb port. Power on. Press green when Menu is shown on display. Always a bit buggy this I tend to press green...ok...green...ok repeately to kick it in.

Might take a few attempts.

Once you have installed your MAC address, installed an enigma2 image. Make sure dual boot is set in the 'LIVE TV' App.

I am certainly no expert on u5pvr, but following above should get you on your way.

ps. Your SD cards will not be wasted.

If using them on a linux machine they will be in linux format and unreadable on Windows. Just reformat them in Windows.
