Files are in the top post. You must edit the 3 important files on your PC (or via Dream Explorer in your box using remote controller - but that is more difficult). When you are done adding your server (C line[s]) etc. save them and send to your box, of course.

PurE2 currently is 6.3 (fully working and properly supported) and the new version 6.5 is kinda published, too. Might be out officially soon...

After you mount your devices you must reboot. Go for "just reboot/restart" option, not for "mount from fstab". Detailed tutorial is here: How to structure/setup PurE2: mounting devices/partitions in PurE2's Device Manager and what to send where!

I don't have the box but reported to the Team...

Yes, indeed - but I had to follow it up, to answer our users' questions and help them out, just in case...:cool1:

But all things have a limit and mine has been crossed now... :) I had enough of problems with E2iStream/E2iPlayer, if somebody uses it they do it on their own, without support from me, sorry... ;)

That plugin was great in weaker, older boxes, since it was written specifically for E2, unlike Kodi, therefore it was faster, lighter, used fewer resources and so on - but nowadays, with stronger HW and alternatives... Nah... thanx for the contribution to the scene - but its time is up, AFAIC...

Mind, the porn fans would probably continue using it, much to the distress of SSS...:rasta2bigsmoke0gf1::quiet::chuckle::loolz::saint:

It seems to me our, newer version of FFMpeg is the problem for E2iStream/E2iPlayer... But I am guessing...

Choose internal player or external gst player, instead of exteplayer3...

But I am tired of E2iXxxxx stuff...

It (that plugin) changes important libs etc. and it therefore creates problems... I'm dropping it, we have good PurE2 stuff instead...

Kodi works, generally speaking, in newer stronger boxes, at least for some plugins I use, therefore...

Not for some time... On all Emus, sadly...

A note: I now use the "cache" version of OSCam Emu, for better CS response times etc.

Using the same settings, mind... but your server must change as well, of course... :)

The PurE2 keys plugin is catering for it, naturally... ;)

This plugin/tool, together with some other plugins/tools, makes flashing a breeze, easy, fast, reliable - because one can simply restore all that hard work of setting up the whole image, all the settings, each tool/plugin settings - the lot! In 5 minutes! So, if PurE2 develops some sort of a problem, simply quickly flash the latest PurE2 online and then restore the previously saved settings. All of them - at least the ones you want to preserve!

Preparation:

So, I am presuming you have installed a current PurE2 image and you have mounted a device/partition, either internally or externally, where you can save your settings.

How to mount devices/partitions? See here: How to structure/setup PurE2: mounting devices/partitions in PurE2's Device Manager and what to send where!

So, now this is done correctly we can start with the process of making a backup of your PurE2 settings...

Save your PurE2 settings/make a 'backup settings file'

0) PurE2 > MENU > Setup > Software management > Advanced options!

1) Select backup location >

a) choose your external USB device (USB stick/HDD/SSD/mSD/whatever you have mounted) or

b ) internal SATA SSD/HDD

2) Select backup files > in PurE2 structure one mostly backs up some folders/files from etc section, as well as usr section of our image. I will give my example:

a) etc > tick/select the following options using the yellow button (please note that "OK" button will only get you inside a folder, some of which have been selected by default)

Now, select the following folders:

- dropbear

- enigma2

- openvpn (I use OpenVPN plugin to encrypt my internet traffic, see the relevant thread I wrote on this forum about the OpenVPN protection needed for our hobby)

- samba

- tuxbox

WARNING! Exit by going back to the top of the tree (using <, >, ^ and v buttons around the OK button) and press OK on <Parent Directory> folder and NOT BY USING THE EXIT BUTTON!!! If you do use the EXIT button nothing will be saved and you will have to start from scratch again...

Please note: usr folder is already nicely "sorted out for you", so no need to mess with that but if you insist on some things, go to...

usr > lib > enigma2 > python > plugins > extensions > choose which plugins you want saved, for easy restoration...

b ) Then, go back to etc folder and select the following files, some of which are also selected by default:

- auto.network

- fstab

- hostname

- kud.cfg (if you have one)

- resolv.conf

- timezone and timezone.xml

- wpa_supplicant.conf

When done choosing/selecting, press the green button to SAVE your settings for this part of backup!

3) Press EXIT button on your RCU and select > Backup system settings > Wait... When DONE > Exit...

RESTORING THE PREVIOUSLY SAVED PURE2 SETTINGS FROM THE BACKUP SETTINGS FILE

1) Flash a PurE2 image of your choice without removing the device which contains the backup file.

2) During the Wizard/first run and setup of PurE2, normally one would be offered to restore the settings. Usually it will be done in 2 stages - settings first, then Plugins/addons later. Just say "Yes"!

Be patient, restoring all the plugins takes time and some of them have the warning message at the end - they will appear at the end, one at a time ("Please, use VPN with *it*" message).

After it is done, one must start one's CamD (OSCam Emu Cache in my case): MENU > pManager > Cam Manager > Run CAM Manager > green button to start it...

You might also need to go into Estuary config and press the green button to get the background wallpaper running again (I use no. 4 - just press the green button and OK to restart).

3) If it doesn't work, one should properly mount the device which has the saved PurE2 settings backup file and then attempt to do this. See the link above to do this properly. Then...

PurE2 > MENU > pManager > Software manager > Restore previously saved settings > PurE2 will check if it can find them... normally, this should work...

Thanx to the author of ths great plugin!!!!

Also, thanx to @Betacentauri for the online/offline flashing plugin and all the other authors for all the other bits at work here...

Enjoy! :cool1:

Yep.

Here see my tutorial how this is done in PurE2 section... Gonna put it there in a minute...

PurE2 v. 6.3 for Zgemma H7 has a new File Commander in the feeds, which can delete files etc. Soon it will be in all the supported feeds, of course...

Get it by doing this: MENU > pManager > SW Manager > SW Update...

File Commander is a part and parcel of PurE2 and one can start/use it via remote control unit (RCU) by pressing the File List/PVRE/etc. buttons (depending on a receiver).

By default it goes to /media folder or it continues where you last visited your STB's folders. This is changeable - once you start it - by pressing MENU button and going to Settings of File Commander... You can still go elsewhere by pressing the yellow button, then navigate where you need to go. It will not see all the files and it can not edit them.

That is why I use Dream-Explorer from our feeds, which can see and edit (almost) all of them, using nothing more than RCU, even though it lost its ability to delete files.

'Njoy! :)

Sorry, m8 - wrong link. Corrected.

I also found the test results with specs for the other one.

Both are Broadcom processors. So, the question seems reasonable - are you sure about the things you concluded above?

Quote from ian1095

The answer to this is simple.

Its because the Broadcom chip cannot handle 4K encoded using H264. All 4K H265 streams are fine though.

Only certain boxes not using the Broadcom chip can play 4K encoded using H264, the VU+ Zero 4K being one, and I think the VU+ Duo 4K can too because neither use the Broadcom chip. The rest of the VU+ family of boxes though have the exact same problem that the original poster has with his H7 box.

So, are you absolutely sure about all this?

Return what, m8? Estuary? It's best because FNC plugins work with it properly.

Again, you are not answering my questions...

Post above edited to include this info... ;)

Find it in PurE2 section of this forum and in Articles, I think... ;)

Then your observation above (about the 2 partitions image size of partitions etc.) is incorrect, as I suspected... ;)

Kihmathi, which image did you use to flash your H7 from USB stick exactly? Normal, 4 partitions or the special 2 partition image v. 6.3?

Panda555 - the same here with E2iStream in 6.3. 6.4 has it in feeds? For another box, with v. 6.5, it's not yet in feeds. E2iPlayer also can't be updated but not sure why. Must ask the dev in charge of it... :)

You are not answering my questions...

EDIT: the greyed out channels you DO NOT have... Only the bright ones.

PurE2? Estuary skin? If not, return to Estuary and then try.

Latest Ciefp's list? I just made a blind scan on 5W. Found 500 channels. Just in case he doesn't have the strong enough signal in Serbia - you should do the same...

Do you have a strong enough signal on all of them, where you are? I am in London and I don't... Barely some signal on some of them and from what I can tell - they are working...

From your images I would say you do not have the signal on some of them - at all... And even if you do - are they encrypted, do you have a valid smartcard subscription of CS reader which can open it?

I am no boss! Never was, never will be... ;) Equal amongst equals is my ideal... :)

We do not have Vu boxes, so no proper support is possible - it is "a must" to remember, please...

I have no idea if there will be a next image for Vu boxes. Probably - but when and what kind of support - no clue, sorry...

It seems we are jumping over 6.4 and going straight to 6.5... Stay tuned... Not easy, being on the bleeding edge, there are lots of technical difficulties in the way... But I have faith in Delfi, Terra and Franc!:thumbup::cool1:

@ Kihmathi - it is generally polite to answer a question... You asked a Q, I answered and asked you a Q back in post no. 494...

So...???
