    Peace be upon you, dear brothers, I have a solo SE device that stops on the white light as in the picture. When you try to challenge it using a USB key, it does not work at all and is not recognized by the device. Also, the G45’s Internet port is blocked on the two bulbs, and therefore it cannot be connected via IP through any program such as DCCE2......


    Is it possible to fix it through the PUTTY program through specific settings for it?


    Using the RJ12/RC232 cable for the outlets.

    Please advise me, God bless you ..


    The cable in question was made...


    But I don't know how to use PUTTY to repair the device....

    When I connected the device to it and tested the COM1 port, setting the value to 115200bps.

    Give me the picture in the attachments.

    dear brothers, I have a problem with the "Max Digital xp1000" device. The script was placed in Talent, the raw image of OpenPlay, whether update 8.3 or update 9, in order to install the DreamSat panel plugin. The process went well, but it did not appear in the list of plugins.

    Then I put the plugin in ipk format and it was installed...but the same problem does not appear in the list of plugins.And when you go to the FTP plugin path, find the folder for the DreamSat panel?Is there any help, may God bless you

    opkg install enigma2-locale-{ar,bg,ca,cs,da,el,en-gb,es,et,fa,fi,fr,fy,he,hr,hu,id,is,it,ku,lt,lv,nb,nl,no,pl,pt,pt-br,ro,ru,sk,sl,sr,sv,th,tr,uk,vi,zh-cn,zh-hk}

    There is no such package in OpenPLi feeds.

    Code
    Collected errors:
     * opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Couldn't find anything to satisfy 'enigma2-locale-ar'.

    Guys I solved the problem by reflashing the receiver. This happened weeks ago..


    I'm asking if there is a way to extract those files (kernel.bin and rootfs.bin).

    If no, why?

    Just for the sake of knowledge.


    opkg update && opkg upgrade

    That's the first thing I did, it didn't work.


    if online update doesn't work, you can download the languages here


    OpenPLi/enigma2/tree/develop/po

    Great idea, but how can I compile these files.

    Because as you can see here there is no .po files in po folder:

    Hi everyone,


    How can I extract these OpenPLi image files in my computer (Windows or Linux)?


    d5a68184.png


    Because, a few weeks ago, I deleted by mistake all languages files (a bash script that cleanup disk space), and after a reboot OpenPLi stuck loading in boot_logo.


    I googled for long hours, for a method to extract the original installation image files (at least the rootfs), so I can get the deleted files back to OpenPLi, but no hope (I reflash the box).


    To seek knowledge, Is there a way to do so?

    Also can I virtualize an OpenPLi image in computer (e.g using VirtualBox in Windows)?

    Thanks KiddaC for your reply, and for your time to take pics.


    Are you using a different skin other than default skin.

    No, default skin, never changed.


    The box I use is MaxDigital-XP1000 with OpenPLI image (latest version).

    And the box has only 1 USB port.

    A USB with some system files is always inserted, so I can't insert another one to test your approach.


    Are you using the default Media Player in OpenATV?

    Did you rename the video filename inside Enigma (directly) or remotly (e.g. telnet) or outside (e.g. Windows)?

    I managed to mount a Windows 10 network share folder on enigma2 OpenPLI image (v8.1).


    The folder contains Videos only (and videos under subfolders) with arabic letters in filenames.


    The default Media Player Plugin and e2iplayer can't run these videos, but they can run same videos when renamed using english letters only (not mixed with arabic).


    Question marks appear instead of arabic letters in filenames (same for folders, they have videos under them but Media Player can't list those videos).

    test.mp4 works fine but same one with question marks '????... .mp4' doesn't.


    Any solution?


    In Enigma, the folder mounted with this command (Because can't figure out how to mount with MountManager and NetworkBrowser is crashing in OpenPLI):

    mount -t cifs -o vers=2.0,credentials=<credentials_file> //WIN_SHARE_IP/<shared_folder_name> /mnt/win_share


    In Windows, I give access to Everyone with following Permissions:

    Read & execute, List folder contents and Read

    In enigma:

    install exFAT filesystem support: opkg update && opkg install exfat-utils
    format USB, replace sda1 with your USB name: mkfs.exfat /dev/sda1

    Correction:

    extFAT is not the known FAT32, but according to google it is a modern version of FAT32 and it is compatible with WINDOWS and MAC.

    Sorry for my ignorance, I just don't want to edit the post again (I disturbed LinuxSat-Support staff with my edits), and I am not sure 100% (can't test it right now).


    But, Here is how to format with FAT32 in enigma (not sure):

    install dosfstools then umount USB by (replace sda1 with your USB device name) umount /dev/sda1 and run mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1 or mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sda1

    init 3
    mv /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins /media/usb
    ln -s /media/usb/Plugins /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins
    init 4

    steve29662 you are wrong about init 3 and init 4 order, at least for OpenPLI.


    in openpli the right steps are:


    init 4

    "This stops Enigma2 (operating system) gracefully" - OpenPLI Wiki


    df -h

    Use this command to identity the USB filesystem path.

    Example: /dev/sda1    3.6G   18.8M   3.4G   1%   /media/usb

    My USB is 4G, and /dev/sda1 device has size of 3.6G (Almost 4G) so it is my USB.


    Replace sda1 with your USB name

    umount /dev/sda1

    This is similar to eject in windows.


    The following command will erase your USB data. Make sure it is empty.

    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

    This command will format your USB with ext3 filesystem.

    If you don't do that, symlinks and files permissions will not be moved to USB.

    enter 'y' for 'yes' when it asks about data losing.


    mkdir /media/usb

    This will make an usb directory, in which the USB will be mounted in.


    mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

    This will mount the USB in the usb folder we created.


    cp -r /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins /media/usb

    This will copy (not moving) Plugins folder to USB.

    If any error appears. Please stop here and solve it.


    diff -qr /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/ /media/USB/Plugins/

    This command will show the differences between the Plugins folder of enigma and of USB.

    If everything copied successfully, no output will show up.

    If anything appears. Please stop here and start over.


    rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins

    This will remove the Plugins folder inside enigma.


    ln -s /media/usb/Plugins /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins

    This will create a symlink in the box of the Plugins folder that has been moved to USB.

    So anything want to access Plugins will be redirected to USB.


    ls -l /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins

    The ouput should be something like /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins -> /media/usb/Plugins

    (In SSH this should be in blue, if red; USB not inserted or mountpoint has been changed, see the error section below).


    init 3

    "This wakes enigma from the "sleeping" state and restarts the GUI (Graphical User Interface)." - OpenPLI Wiki.

    Wait until enigma boot up and then go to Plugins in enigma.

    If there are no errors run reboot.

    Plugins error or enigma stuck loading after reboot:

    If any error appears when opening Plugins or enigma stuck on loading after reboot.

    Make sure that USB is inserted.

    Connect again via telnet or SSH and run:


    init 4


    df -h

    Identify your USB mountpoint (look under Mounted on).

    for me it is /media/usb.


    ln -sf /media/usb/Plugins /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins

    This will update Plugins symlink.


    init 3




    IMPORTANT: Get USB back to FAT32 to use it with Windows

    If you want to reuse your USB under Windows, you need to reformat it with FAT32. YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON IT;

    Use one of the following methods:

    • In enigma:
      • install exFAT filesystem support: opkg update && opkg install exfat-utils
      • format USB, replace sda1 with your USB name: mkfs.exfat /dev/sda1
    • In Windows:
      • press Windows+R
      • run diskmgmt.msc
      • right-click on your USB (MAKE SURE IT IS YOUR USB) and select Delete Partition
      • choose yes for data losing
      • right-click on it again and select New Simple Volume option
      • follow the dialog wizard just make sure to choose FAT32 in format section and check Perfom a quick format also give it a good name ;)

    Hi @Kataryno,


    I have the same problem with the same box (Vu+ SOLO SE).


    I want to ask:
    Did you fix it? or achieve anything? - After all these 3 years :cool:


    and most important:
    How to diagnose in PuTTY using Serial Connection?
    What the settings should I do inside PuTTY for Serial Communication?

    :thanks:
