From my experience of various lists and xml files, plus my conversations with Ciefp, his satellites xml file might be the best one, the most up-to-date one to use. Anyone knows any better ones?
I simply edit his list by removing the satellites I don't use (one can add them, also, of course) and save the changes via Dreamset editor.
I then use Dreambox Edit to send it to the machine.
It never fails, this simple procedure...
For what it's worth...
A 256 MB SWAP partition is now in v. 6.3, also (flash from USB stick, version of 27th May 2019 - this is already a fully loaded image with all manner of plugins, tools, huge list of channels etc.):

Swap: 255Mi 0.0Ki 255MiDepending on HW capabilities, one might have to:
-carefully setup HSS/SSD and/or USB stick as described in my thread on expansion of ROM and RAM,
-send stuff away from ROM and
-helping RAM cope with huge demands of A-V files by adding SWAP file etc.
-OSCam Emu is by far the best option we have today - learn about it in my thread in OSCam Emu section,
-add Ciefp list of channels and prune it carefully to remove the satellites you do not need, using Dreamset editor.
And so on and on... read a bit and do as you read right here, in this section... :)
P.S. Apparently Delfi put in 256MB of SWAP partition once Zgemma have kicked it out but only in v. 6.2...
OK, what I learnt today...
1) Zgemma H7 was on my menu today...
In PurE2: MENU > Plugins > green > Extensions > E2iPlayer installation is enough, as it automatically installs FFmpeg package with it. So, one doesn't need to install the dependencies first. Once you install E2iPlayer - Restart PurE2 and in Info you will see FFmpeg package 4.1.3.
New PurE2 image for v. 6.3 has the new partitioning included. First partition is more than 900MB, the rest is for the second partition...
So, install v. 6.3 by USB stick and then the latest v. 6.2 can be installed online...
Kodi might not work in v. 6.3. It should, however, in v. 6.2.
2) Zgemma have removed the SWAP partition from their new partitioning system in Zgemma H7 series.
In PurE2 one can install Swap Manager 2 from System Apps (see above) and create a permanent SWAP file, if...
3) Updated:
yify-fnc (6.3 in separate directory!)
filme-fnc
serien-fnc
iwaatch-fnc
imdb-fnc
e2, feeds
Soon in image feeds, most are already in plugins d-load.
Perhaps faulty settings that you are trying to restore, I am told... Start from zero, manually sort it out and see... WHen it is working - then save...
Good luck!
Jens, guys with a motor - any words of wisdom? ;)
Re. SWAP file
For older, weaker boxes, which may really need a SWAP file go to:
MENU > Plugins > green button > Systemplugins > swapmanager2 and install it > Restart E2.
This Swapmanager2 will make the swap file permanent.

You tell me...
FNC, for one thing, won't work on non-PurE2 image (except 2-3 older ones)...
Well, some time has passed (due to team's other obligations) since this thread was updated...
In a nutshell these are, perhaps, interesting items:
1) Zgemma HiSil H9combo new (3rd stage) bootloader, partitions and recovery, drivers for CI fixed
2) Octagon SF8008- new drivers and libs (weekly), subtitle fixes
3) AX60/Mutant60 new (3rd stage) bootloader, recovery and partitions
4) Dinobot new drivers
5) Giga4k new drivers
6) Misc fixes for E2
7) New utilities in the feeds
8) Probably forgot to mention a lot of stuff
~~~~~
As per 1) and 3), one should unzip a file from Recovery directory, on a FAT32 USB stick and copy the latest PurE2 *.zip image as well (do not unzip the image file, only recovery). Flash the recovery image as needed per box (HD60 side button, H9combo front button) and try to have fun. Once the new x stage bootloader/recovery is flashed, you can flash the image.
2) USB reflash (not online) is needed as well to install new recovery.
6) There is a new mode to show a Zap History, now preset. As epg.dat can be quite large for some users (10-40MB), standard History Zap can take a long time. New option shows just service/channel name. To change - Setup-->System-->Keyboard/RC-->Button Setup--> History buttons mode. Still testing, for now in arm 6.3 only.
Some changes in ImageBackup.YMMV - we do not recommend this option as it could result with obsolete libs, utils, almost everything, that would fail miserably on a simple SW update.
Subtitle code was modified to make happy some discerning users.
....
7) procrank, udpxy, xupnpd
As repeated before, if you do experience playback problems in some of PurE2 *-fnc plugins, it is likely, that new gstreamer or ffmpeg did not update in a nice way. To be on a safe side, please reflash the image (1st backup system settings).
HDMI CEC for some Vu users - you gotta play with some settings in CEC Menu.
Info by Delfi! :)
That's why I wrote a careful, detailed series of threads in this and other - especially our, PurE2 - sections of the forum...
Don't be lazy, don't be afraid, it's all here, just start from the stickies and you will get there!
Good luck!
Btw, both OpenATV and PurE2 use the same code for basics, like DiSEqC, motor, Network and so on and on... I don't think it's that but you'll have to investigate carefully, while you wait for somebody with a motor to help you out... ;)
Sorry, no motor here but such complaints are virtually unheard of... we need details, as to exactly what you are doing...
In our section look for detailed instructions of all sorts. No need to invent hot water.
OSCam Emu section, my thread in the Stickies.
Some of the threads are for discussion on a topic but the info is in an article...
Enjoy! :)
OK, thanx.
But E2iPlayer first needs to be sorted out properly, for all to use with ease...
This is an additional module inside an E2iPlayer or vice versa?
E2iPlayer will be inside a TSiPlayer?
Anyone with more info?
