What type of decoding card and coding system is it ?
Is it still an IRDETO coding system ?
Isn't it Viaccess ?
Viaccess will work only in CAM - in the hardware module.
If it is an IRDETO system, then you probably just have an incorrect Oscam configuration.
Hi. What does it mean: "hasn't started correctly" ? Oscam LOG ? Can you also attach some Oscam Webif -> Live LOG ?
Exactly as Mateoo writes, the problem is that a suitable decoding card was not found. Probably something is wrongly set in the configuration of the local Oscam (softcam client). If the softcam server belongs to the user (his own server), then there may also be an error - in the server settings. But if the softcam server is from someone else, such as from a friend, then the correct setting of the local Oscam (softcam client) must be requested from the friend.
no matching reader = 1server rejected request to decode CAID 0B00 (CONAX coding system)
manicomitico try reboot :-D
openpli is stable and updated. on the laptop, it is easily connected to the receiver's device. while open ATV always requires password and is difficult to connect or mount the USB and HDD.
No no. This is not true. That's just a setup error. If you set a password, it will be required. But if you don't set a password, then it won't be necessary. Plus, using a password increases security, so that's fine. The same applies in both, in OpenPLi and in OpenATV, regarding the password... namely, that after installing the new firmware, it is necessary to set the password in your own interest - to increase security.
If you want to use a terminal connection, you must first log in via the Telnet protocol and not SSH. Then you set the password in the terminal with the "passwd" command. Then everything else will work - including the SSH terminal connection. It's better... because the password increases the security of your set-top box. This means that if someone connects to your home LAN or WiFi-LAN, they need an additional password to connect to the set-top box as well.
I personally have no connection problems at all, neither in the case of OpenPLi nor in the case of OpenATV.
I have no problem with OpenATV 7.3 in the Vu+ Zero 4K set-top box. It works without any problems.
Taru:
Of course always the latest version of OpenPLi :-). If I don't need to update the OpenPLi distribution to a new one in general, I don't update sometimes even for 2 years. OpenPLi works fast and stable. In my opinion, OpenATV is more universal (they still support many set top box manufacturers). I also often use OpenATV.
The file downloaded in your set-top box probably does not contain the 7-zip file format header. This means that the HTML code and not the file was probably downloaded.
The algorithm of the plugin, intended for the verification of the header of the 7-zip file from the source Chocholousek with picon-packages, is here:
So, as it is obvious according to this algorithm, the downloaded file in your set-top box is probably not really a 7-zip file, but rather some HTML file.
If there is a .7z file with picons in the "/tmp" folder of your set-top box, check its contents. For example, copy this file via FTP connection to your PC and open it - in some text editor or in some so-called "hex-editore" (tool for editing disk contents). There must be a header for 7zip files at the beginning of the file, and there should also be no HTML code inside the file, but archived and compressed code from various .png files.
This "error" (server protection) occurs primarily when the client tries to connect via a VPN network. Unfortunately, the VPN network is often misused for various attacks... so that's why the VPN network is not allowed and rejected by the server and you will only get an HTML code with a message (rejection).
It can also be about banning your IP address, on which someone probably tried to perform DDoS or other attacks (loading the server with repeated and very fast and frequent accesses to packages with picons).
Hi hatters1976 . You also have to write a specific problem :). I am not an expert on telepathy :). I can't add to your post myself that what kind of problem is there ? :) Can you make a debug log file in Enigma2. Or maybe a screenshot of the problem (error report in the plugin) would be enough.
Hi cosy .
This is done intentionally so that this PLUGIN is not used and runs in the background of Enigma2 - as a separate background process.
Updating picons does not take long. So why does it bother you ? :) A better question is, why are you running the picons update while watching a movie on TV ? :)
Of course it could be done... for example to resize the screen layer to just a few lines. But does it have any meaning ? After all, no one updates picons every day, and certainly not while watching movies.
Are you asking about the OpenATV feed or are you asking about the Softcam feed ? There are two independent servers with updates packages (installation packages).
Hi.
Could someone advise me, how to enable the serial port for Vu+ Zero 4K in Linux OS ?
I learned on the OpenATV forum that this Zero 4K has its serial port "locked" (non-functional for Linux system) after successfully booting the set-top box. And this is really a problem. The serial port cannot then be used in any way under the Linux system, after the set-top box has been successfully booted. This serial port is only "service port" and is active only during the booting of the set-top box. After that, this serial service port is supposed to shut down.
It is an RJ12 connector on the back panel of the Vu+ Zero 4K. And... of course, the pinouts of the RJ12 connector are connected correctly.
I made the RJ12 <-> RS232 adapter myself and it also works without problems on my other set-top box: Vu+ Solo SE V2 (in this set-top box, the serial port works even after booting and while the set-top box is running, as a full-fledged serial port in the system).
I am using the build:
OpenATV 7.3
Linux kernel 4.1.20
ARM chipset
Does anyone know a trick or an unofficial third-party driver that can enable the serial port on the RJ12 connector in the Linux system on the Zero 4K set-top box, even after it boots ?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Hi.
This depends on the firmware (which particular Enigma2 distribution) you use in your set-top box.
It basically depends on the version of the system kernel (Linux).
And then it depends on which WiFi dongle drivers are available in the specific firmware - according to the specific chipset and system kernel (linux kernel version).
Also, these WiFi dongle drivers must be properly debugged and thus functional. Common practice is often to move drivers without testing them to other set-top boxes with similar hardware and with the same Linux kernel, and this is not good.
Another common problem is the fact that many WiFi dongles release a new HW revision over time. This means that even if the WiFi USB dongle appears to be the same, it may not be the same inside. This is the case, for example, with the Tenda U2 device. For example, a built-in USB HUB can be added to which a USB Flash Memory Stick with an installer is connected and at the same time the network WiFi card itself, ... and a problem can arise with the initialization of the WiFi USB dongle in Linux, which does not recognize the new HW revision and this revision the driver does not assume (expect). Then it doesn't work even if the driver is correct.
But there are many similar cases in different HW revisions.
For example, some WiFi USB dongles, such as the TP-LINK TL-WN725N-V3 device, add a function where when searching for available WiFi networks, they change the MAC address to a random one - while searching for available WiFi networks. This is for higher security. However, if the current WiFi driver in the used firmware of your set-top box does not support this, again there is a problem with finding available WiFi networks and possibly other problems. The driver for this TP-LINK device then requires an update, also to support HW revision number 3.
So... under normal circumstances, even if you google the chipset included in the selected WiFi USB dongle that you are going to buy, this driver in your firmware (you can find it simply through a terminal connection to your set-bop box, e.g. with commands: opkg update; opkg list | grep "chipset-name" ), may not work correctly if it is a new HW revision of the WiFi USB dongle. It is best if they are old HW revisions. They should be supported and therefore functional.
Yup... picons are kept in CACHE... also when SKIN is loaded / starting, available directories with picons are searched. And subsequently, the picon CACHE is used to store some picons - in RAM. That's why a quick restart of the Enigma2-GUI is always convenient, after updating picons.
....... 
At least write where the problem was in your case :).
Hi.
Alternative tools like YouTube-DL and YT-DLP work perfectly, so maybe this could be used for playback as well... somehow it might work. Or am I wrong ?
I know it's a big difference to stream directly from a YouTube server and download parts of videos and then play them back... but it could work.
maho33 you are on the wrong discussion thread :).
Try the following discussion thread, please: Picons by Chocholoušek
Hi.
You are right. In this moment, the server http://picon.cz/ is currently offline.
The server is probably offline for maintenance. I dont know why.
The server (and domain) belongs to the company https://ellano.sk .
Chocholoušek manages the database and website.
I'm just a plugin creator (Python developer).
I hope everything will be up and running again soon.
Hi Smafia.
If you have to ask how to do it, don't do it. It is more complicated even for people from the IT profession.
One option is to use DD-WRT firmware and then Entware or Optware and install Oscam.
Or even some other firmwares in routers, it is possible to use Entware and Optware. But it is a "long-distance run" to get Oscam there.
Alternatively, you can make a server instead of a WiFi router. You buy a Raspberry or another mini-PC, connected with a LAN-switch, also with a high-quality WiFi antenna + install and set everything... and it's done :). You have a full-fledged Linux where you can do what you need... and at the same time it will serve as a WiFi router.
I am well aware that my question is a difficult one. But, I thought the answer could list all the scenarios.
I'll tell you more as soon as I can. And I will give you the log file if you want. Thanks for your help.
Not. You have to describe... as I mentioned... what you are trying to do. What, where, how, with whom, why, how much, etc. . Based on this, it can only then be assumed where the error could probably be.
You could also include your configuration files (ideally in the CODE TAG). However, you will overwrite all private passwords and IP addresses (also all host-names) with some censorship (for example, "X" characters), for your safety.
