I tested my H7S with 11 CI modules and 8 worked, Conax included. ;)
The ones that didn't work were very old and heavily "hobbyist-like"...
:rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:
Reports are that CI+ modules work also, at least in H7 models - if you leave it for longer, it will kick in, as it were...:thumbup: (PurE2 image, mind, not sure about OpenATV but my 'wild' guess is that it does! :P)
For what it's worth...
Have you expanded your NAND/flash with a Micro SD card or USB, perhaps? Given NAND space limitations you may have been stuck for that reason, perhaps?
If you expand it (see my tutorial - I put it here, as well), EPG can go where ever you want it to be - on mSD, too. But don't send it to an HDD, as it has moving parts and it will turn every time you zap/move channels, slowing things down in the process (of higher HDD wear & tear)... EPG should go on USB stick or mSD, I think.
HDD should only handle recording and timeshfit, nothing else!
Have a look at my settings in E2iPlayer/IPTV Player, for reference. Two ways of doing it with buffer on USB stick and mSD (if it's large enough), respectively.
This alone might fix your problem, as the space required for it is 1.5GB, weirdly... :rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:
Activate logging, too. It might be helpful in resolving the issues...
And use PurE2, btw... it works like a charm...
Best of luck!;)
Cool, thanx!:thumbup:
So, when that is done one searches the forum the same way or more via tags?
Cheers! :)
...plus a card reader, minus 1 x USB 3.0 port (the difference between H9x and H9.2x models)...;)
Just being a Herr Schpliter, me... :rasta2bigsmoke0gf1::thumbup:
Tested in PurE2 (Zgemma H7S), writing from memory... :)
0) install PurE2
1) MENU > Plugins > green button > Extra > install it and EXIT...
2) MENU > Plugins > green button > CamDs (first section) > OSCam Emu latest
3) then, from the same place, "OSCam Emu Config Mario" and edit the 3 main files with your specific details
4) MENU > Plugins > CamDs > Softcam.key downloader > Exit...
Go to Plugins > Keys files are downloaded via SoftCam.Key downloader -> they go to /etc/tuxbox/config folder.
Note: sometimes they change keys often, so it may not always be up-to-date, sadly... we all have lives, ergo we do it whenever we can... Usually one can find fresh keys online... ;)
Once you choose a PV channel you may need to wait a little, sometimes up to 5 mins to start working - after that it's cool...
Both AFN at 9E and the 4.8E work without having to go to a FTA channel in between changes and so on...
Praise be to Mario! ;)
Edit the XXXXXX, if you are using the files I attached to this post, which are edited by me, after some testing...:rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:
P.S. Zgemma H9x/H9.2x line works with AFN at my end but not on 4.8E - at least the channels that I have signal for... :rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:
Hello!
Could we have a PurE2 section, please?
A small but feisty team pulling way above its weight, I would say...
But I am biased, of course... :rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:
Look at the link above, m8. You will find it there! :)
And if you are open-minded, like novelty and learning a bit - you will love it! ;)
An excellent collection of FNC plugins specially written for PurE2 by Franc!!!
0) PURE2!!!
1) MENU > pMANAGER > SOFTWARE MANAGER > CHECK FOR UPDATE > OK...
2) MENU > PLUGINS > GREEN BUTTON (Download plugins) > EXTENSIONS > see the second image, as to which ones to download...
...download them as required...
An HbbTV Player note:
For HbbTV first download the hbbtv-qt (this is for ARM), then the HbbTV Player FNC by Franc.
For MIPSEL platform one can't use the QT basis (for ARM platform) - but rather hbbtv plugin v. 6.2 that is in the feeds (Opera). Then, one installs the player and it works! Tested on ET10000!
3) Restart PurE2!
4) MENU > FNC PurE2 Plugins
5) > ...have fun... :)
Note no. 1: one can install E2 images from the net, also. Or one can send images from one's laptop/PC to one's H7S HDD/SSD, via FTP, say using FileZilla Client...
Note no. 2: once one installs more than one image - this bit looks a bit confusing - one may see 5 partitions, when one chooses where to install images in H7S MultiBoot
START
START_1
START_2
START_3
START_4
I am no expert but it seems to me that current image/partition may be "STARTUP", as in "Default partition/image". Maybe I am wrong? Anyway, later on, once one reboots, in MultiBoot, this is no longer an issue... Simply edit the name of an image using the yellow button, for ease of operations... I presume that in such a menu SAVE button would make an image "default"...
Note no. 3: Each image has 2 versions...
1) without PiP (Picture in Picture, to see 2 channels at the same time, say when sport competitions are running at the same time)
2) with PiP (they all are fully functional now, I believe - PurE2 certainly is).
In short: send a zipped image to HDD/SSD or USB stick in your Zgemma H7S, then
choose the partition to install it to, then after that
choose the zipped image and flash it...
Of course, if one wants to boot to a different image, one should press the EXIT button several times, in order to get to > Standby > MultiBoot > Startup_X (to boot to an image of your choice)...
In OpenATV:
MENU > Setup > SW Management > Flash Online/Local >
yellow (where to flash the new image, say STARTUP_2) >
blue (Local image, as opposed to Online, i.e. from a device attached to the receiver) >
choose the image and FLASH it... wait... > press OK when finished...
Cheerio! :)
Zgemma H7S is a monster machine and by far the best of the lot available to the general public. It's a fabulous combination of HW, Linux kernel, drivers and Enigma2, plus additional SW (plugins/addons) etc. etc.
Amongst other things, H7S boasts a large, 4GB eMMC NAND Flash, partitioned in 4 major partitions (if we are speaking in "everyday language"... it's actually partitioned in 8 partitions but OK...)!
I.e. one can install 4 different images natively, without any additional "multiboot" plugin/addon and there is no need to install those images on a USB stick, provided an image has that part of the SW included, of course.
Here is how to do that.
PurE2:
0) We shall, of course, presume you already installed PurE2 on the first/default partition, in a usual manner anyone can find and follow, including on this and other similar forums...
1) Download other compatible images you want to try (OpenATV, OpenHDF, OpenSPA etc.) to your PC, for instance, and do NOT unzip/decompress them!
2) Have a suitable USB memory stick formatted in FAT32, then send an image you want to install on your H7S, to the USB stick, zipped as you downloaded it. Plug it into H7S.
3) MENU > pMANAGER > SW MANAGER > FLASH ON THE FLY (to get to the flashing menu)
3a) yellow button (to choose an H7S partition for installation of the new image) - be careful not to install the new image over the existing, already installed image on the current partition - choose a different partition (unless you want to overwrite the old image, of course)
3b) blue button (local file installation, as opposed to online installation)
3c) choose the device from which to install the unzipped image (find the image you want to flash)
3d) green button (to start installing the chosen image from the USB stick) - installation starts...
4) Wait... when successful, press OK to reboot H7S.

PurE2 image for Zgemma H7 with only 2 partitions
Download it here: http://pur-e2.club/OU/images/i…irdigital/H7-2partitions/
To use it, it is necessary (only once) to flash this image via USB and the button behind the front door.
After this you can freely flash images on-line (from SW manager or pure2 manager) in STARTUP_1 or STARTUP_2. You can use 6.2 or 6.3 images.You can also flash other images into the other partition, the usual USB stick way...
To return back to 4 partition images, just flash a 'normal' image via USB and the button thingy...

OK, if you have very little cash, there is an excellent solution for the money! Cheap Zgemma H9x/H9.2x boxes can remain cheap and still work fully, with lots of plugins and tools, large settings lists, EPG, picons and everything else one might need. IPTV plugins/streaming, playback - will not be limited by the flash size in all H9 boxes with 256MB NAND!
Moreover, maestro Delfi managed to get it all boot from a USB stick, as well, if you prefer it instead of microSD card, since we all have cheap USB sticks lying around. So, choose which one is better for you. (And in H9x series there is a fast USB 3.0 port, so this could be a great solution!!!)
+++++++++++++PROCEDURE++++++++++++++++
Firstly, prepare your micro SD card in your PC (Windows, in this case, I use Mini Tool Partition Manager free), by deleting its partitions (if any), then creating one and formatting it in EXT4 (make it active, too):
Then, insert it onto Zgemma H9x/H9.2x and it should be like this...
Then pManager > Scripts... Here are the major points, it's simple and easy:
WAIT FOR THIS!!!
Full RESTART is needed!
After that go to MENU > Information > About > Storage:
===========================================================================================
If you had enough of it and wanted to go back to NAND/flash only, do the opposite script...
Full RESTART!!! After that one can re-install the image to NAND, if one needs to do it...
Cheerio! :)
