    However, if you connect with SSH protocol, then a password is strictly required for data encryption and you will not be able to log in without a password.


    Therefore, use Telnet protocol and the "ENTER" key for a blank password will work.


    If you want, you can change your password after successful login (don't forget the new password!) with the command: passwd


    Unfortunately, PuTTY displays the SSH vs Telnet protocol selection a bit confusingly - see my screenshot for an explanation:


    PuTTy - Telnet vs SSH choice.jpg

    I don't know if OpenPLi has somehow changed the default password... but it should be blank (just press ENTER on the PC keyboard in terminal connection). The login name is always the same and it is: root . Alternatively, try using: root as the password if ENTER doesn't work (i.e. if the blank password doesn't work).


    Regarding OpenWebif, try checking in the MENU GUI, using RCU, whether this OpenWebif is enabled and active. It should be somewhere in the MENU under networks or somewhere under network services.

    You can find out the Enigma2 version in many ways. One of them is to log in to OpenWebif (Web-GUI for enigma2, operating as an open source project for many years). Simply find out the IP address of your set top box in the information via MENU. And then in the web browser on your PC, enter this IP address as an http address. OpenWebif will open and there you will also find information about the image (in the left frame, somewhere at the bottom). You should also be able to get information about Enigma2 directly via MENU using RCU. But I prefer to use OpenWebif for this purpose :-D.

    Try to find your sat provider in the FastScan. But I doubt that South Asia will be included there. I really don't know.


    I don't know your country at all in terms of Linux satellite receivers. So I probably can't give you much advice.


    Some decoding DVB systems with an access card may not work - I mean via SoftwareCAMs. In that case, you need to use not just the card, but the entire CI+ module in which the card is already inserted (HardwareCAM).

    Userbouquets can be downloaded pre-created from the internet... so-called "settings"... although this name is incorrect, it is often used for userbouquets (channel lists).


    I don't know your provider and your satellite, so I can't advise. But if you look, you will find it on the internet.


    You can edit channels using a PC, if the set-top box is connected to the same LAN network as your PC. You can use the DreamboxEdit tool for this purpose. I recommend first performing a full scan of all available stations. Then, using DreamboxEdit, you can create a new userbouquet with your own name, and insert the necessary channels into it. You can download icons / logos for TV channels, for example, using the ChocholousekPicons plugin (you must first download it from the Internet and install it on the set-top box).


    There is also a plugin Fast Scan for many providers and for many satellites. If installed, it will appear in MENU > channel tuning. Alternatively, it will appear in the plugins MENU. This plugin should be part of OpenPLi and if not, it should be possible to install it from the feed server (in the plugin list). This Fast Scan always updates or adjusts its own userbouquet (channel list) according to the current channels. It is a very fast tuning. The disadvantage is that the channel arrangement is already preset (if you want to change it, you have to create your own userbouquet list and arrange your channels there - for example with the help of DreamboxEdit, a PC application).

    Hi.


    The best, most popular and fastest has always been and will be OpenPLi.


    If OpenPLi no longer supports old devices, it is only because the manufacturer has also ended hardware support (driver development + their bug fixes - for newer Linux kernels). Despite this, OpenPLi has been trying to support some old set-top box devices for a very long time, even if support from the set-top box manufacturer has already ended.

    Hi there :-).


    This is wrong:

    "--no-check-certificate"

    Quotation marks... why ? .-)


    They are used only exceptionally and even then only to specify a long string that contains special characters. Usually it is used to specify a URL address. As a precaution, I always use double quotes for URL addresses in WGET / CURL tools.


    WGET probably thought it was a URL and not an argument. But I don't know exactly. I don't know how WGET works from a systems programmer's perspective. But it's possible that it understood it as a URL because it was in quotes.

    Hi.


    I also need to see the debug log. You can also send it in a private message. Although I don't know if I'll see the problem there. I also don't know what exact firmware you're using... or even a screenshot from Enigma / OpenWebif would be useful.


    Black screen hm... I don't know what it looks like at all. It could be anything based on what you write. For example, a problem with scrolling the window. Or creating the Screen layer could be a problem. Hard to say. It depends on what firmware you're using - Enigma2 distribution and specific version.

    Try what I sent you in a private message... of course only if it includes your satellite provider + in your country (the satellite provider you want to watch via satellite reception).

    As I wrote... your "provider" must respond via support as to why you have this penalty and why your account or C-Line has been cancelled. Based on that, you can look for the cause and take measures to prevent it from happening again.

    Hi.


    You should have created your own topic / question. Your question does not belong in this discussion thread.


    If your C-Line was banned, it was probably used by someone else and not just you. Or you set up recording on the set-top box, when the C-Line must connect 2 times to the softcam server - one channel that you watch on TV and the other channel from another transponder on a different frequency, which is currently being recorded. Then 2 satellite channels are decoded at the same time and must of course be decoded via 2 connections to the softcam server.


    But it is more likely that someone got to the settings of your set-top box and stole your login and password. Nowadays, all you need to do is open the CCCAM configuration in the set-top box and then just take a photo with your smartphone.


    And then you will get a BAN.


    You can ask your provider exactly what the reason for the BAN was. He must write it down for you exactly. Whether the problem was multiple connections to one account. Whether the problem was decoding multiple channels at the same time, but under one account. Or whether the problem was a sudden and frequent change of IP address (if you have a dynamic Internet IP address, which changes too often with your Internet provider).


    According to what your "softcam provider" writes to you, you will know what to pay more attention to in the future.

    Hi.


    Why exactly do you need a resolution of 330x198 ? A special type of LCD display on the box ? Or what exactly ?


    I don't know and don't use VTi 15.0.2. Theoretically, it should be possible to use any other picon resolution. Then the VTi algorithm should be able to transform the picon resolution to a larger or at least a smaller one (the old Enigma2 couldn't do this). Or not ?


    Is MetrixHD SKIN part of VTi 15.0.2 or did you install it yourself ? MetrixHD SKIN is also used as the default SKIN in OpenATV. Why don't you use OpenATV enigma2 instead? There you can set absolutely everything through the SKIN configurator - in the built-in MyMetrixLite plugin. MetrixHD SKIN in OpenATV can transform small or large picon resolutions itself. In the configurator you can also set the scaling (quality) of the picons when changing their resolution. Your Edision OS mini 4K has a very good CPU so it should not slow down OpenATV at all.


    VTi 15.0.2 is outdated Enigma2. I do not recommend using it on new set-top boxes. VTi is no longer being developed. It may still work, but it is starting to be outdated.


    If you write that the picons are ugly after transformation... there can be many reasons. Is the SKIN resolution and also the video output set to the correct - i.e. high resolution ? Or do you have something other than 1:1 HDMI input display mode turned on in your TV ? The chipset in the TV itself also scales (improves) the image on the HDMI input. And even then, image distortion can occur (in this case, picons distortion).


    Adding a new picon resolution is a lot of work. Only Chocholousek takes care of the picons. Me (s3n0) ... I am just a plugin developer. The plugin works by downloading already prepared and designed picons. This means that the plugin does not transform these picons to the correct size. This is so that there are also separate 7-zip packages on the internet, for free download from the website (https://picon.cz/ - Chocholousek's website).

    actually, doesn't work. I tried multiple sizes and backgrounds.

    Ahoj.


    Buďto sa jednalo o nejakú dočasnú chybu, ako je napr. aktualizácia datového servera Ellano.sk (Picon.cz website)... alebo buďto sa jednalo o nejaký problém s VPN sieťou, čo je asi najčastejší problém.


    Ja som však niečo už "vyrábal" nové v kóde pluginu, aby algoritmus dokázal ohlásiť aj konkrétnejšie o čo sa jedná - v prípade že sa poradí súbor stiahnúť, ale jedná sa len o HTML kód a nie o reálny 7-zip formát súboru. Takže neviem prečo to nefunguje :-D. Ledaže by si používal staršiu verziu pluginu.


    Tiež by si mohol aktivovať nejakým spôsobom v tvojej Enigma2 ladiací režim (v každej Enigma2 môže byť iný postup ako to aktivovať) a potom mi poslať vytvorený debuglog súbor, mne priamo do súkromnej správy. Snáď v tomto súbore, bude viac informácií o tvojom probléme.

    Hi.


    Either it was a temporary error, such as update of the data server Ellano.sk (Picon.cz website) or it was either a problem with the VPN network, which is probably the most common problem.


    However, I already "made" something new in the plugin code so that the algorithm could report more specifically what it is - in case the file can be downloaded, but it is only an HTML code and not a real 7-zip file format. So I don't know why it doesn't work :-D. Unless you are using an older version of the plugin.


    You could also somehow activate the debugging mode in your Enigma2 (in each Enigma2 there may be a different procedure to activate it) and then send me the created debuglog file directly to me in a private message. Hopefully in this file, there will be more information about your problem.

    Now I wrote something. You didn't read the whole thing ?


    I don't know my provider and I don't know (I haven't found) the type of coding and CAID code. And the question you ask is difficult to answer... maybe it will work and maybe not.

    The fact is that not every type of encoding can be managed via SoftCAM (oscam as an example). It depends on the type of coding, which also indicates the CAID code from the decoding card. It can be even worse in the case of card sharing. It is not always possible to share a card. I don't know where Telecard belongs at all. What is this encoding or CAID. On the other hand, it is also sometimes true that some decoding cards already work on the basic SoftCAM settings and you don't have to set anything there. So... I don't know.


    Oscam-Webif should display basic info about your decoding card.

    Hi. So, if this "security chip" is replaced, will the serial port be accessible even in Linux OS ? Or how should I understand it exactly ? Hmmm... :-/

    Hi all.


    I would like to note that the serial interface on the Vu+ Solo SE V2 only works in the CFE Boot-Loader. It is then "deactivated" and no longer works (it is not possible to find this hardware device in Enigma2 and / or in Linux OS). Unfortunately, this serial port only serves as a service connector (input and output serial port).


    I've been looking forward to it for a long time and made a serial port adapter - for my Vu+ Solo SE V2 on the back panel. RJ11 / RJ12 connector is used on the pack panel of the Vu+ Solo SE V2. It contains the pins for the IR sensor for the RCU. There are also included additional pins for RS-232 (there are only 3 pins for the serial port, that is, it is only for the so-called "null-modem" method of RS-232 serial communication).


    However, it is only applicable when the bootloader is active. Not in the Linux system (respectively in Enigma2).


    Vu+ Solo SE is probably a little different than Vu+ Solo SE V2, but the RJ11 / RJ12 pinouts should match:

    Hi.


    Why are you asking about the rules of your paid provider right here on the discussion forum ? Ask them at their support. Or look at the information and rules where you purchased the service.


    It will definitely say that further sharing is prohibited.


    Even these cardshare servers always have very strict rules - for example, too frequent relogin (for example, only 20 times per week at most) or frequently changing IP aggression (several times per day), which of course means that the person in question performs redistribution or uses login on several sets- top boxes. Connecting more than once or decoding more than 1 channel at a time is prohibited.


    EDIT:


    I also don't understand why you didn't start a separate topic / question. Why did you put it here, in a thread that concerns a completely different problem?

    It depends on the Enigma2 distribution. As a rule, there is no password. So they can press enter. Sometimes the password is set the same as the admin name, i.e. that there is "root" as the password. It is ideal to log in to the set-top box via a Telnet connection and set the password with the "passwd" command. What I mention should work for the connection. So the login is root and the password is empty (press the enter key).

    Hi.


    After connecting the set-top box to the mains or even during a full reboot of the set-top box... the first few seconds of the device booting, you must see the manufacturer's logo on the TV.


    If you extract the manufacturer's logo (splash....bin file) to disk and rename it to .BMP, you will also see its appearance. The "splash....bin" file format for Vu+ flashing is a plain BMP file at a predetermined resolution and color depth.


    This image should appear after turning on the set-top box or during a full reboot of the set-top box. If you did not manage to flash it, maybe you are doing something wrong, or your Vu+ is a different model than you wrote, i.e. other than Duo2.


    EDIT:


    It is also possible that older Vu+ devices work differently when flashing. For example, they also need some other flash files when flashing, and not just one "splash...bin" file. I'm not sure. It is quite possible.


    In the case of my Vu+ Solo SE V2, this one file "splash...bin" and the "force" file what I sent you in the ZIP file are sufficient. That is that all you need is the "splash...bin" file and the "force" file (for the Solo SE V2, since there is no push button to start the flash process, the flash process must be forced by itself from the USB key). I really don't know. Some older set-top boxes are really strange :).


    You can try another way... but... as first, backup all your settings before flashing the original Vu+ firmware to the set-top box. After flashing and restoring the original firmware with the original "splash......bin" file, flash the previous firmware again. And restore all your backed up settings. If it is an OpenATV image (firmware), delete the "splash....bin" file from the USB key, after extracting the archive file from OpenATV !

    And how did you update it ? How did you proceed ?


    I wrote that it is necessary to delete all files, except for this one "splash...bin". It can also be done by downloading the ZIP-firmware from OpenATV again - for your set-top box. You unzip it onto a USB stick. You delete all the files (leave the folders and paths alone). Then overwrite the original splash that you have, instead of the original one on the USB stick. To be sure, check that the same resolution and image format fits... which you verify by renaming the files or adding the .BMP extension there (yes, this is a BMP file format). The OpenATV image and also the new one you have with the original Octagon must have the same resolution and color bit depth.


    Here is the procedure and also the download of several original "splash.....bin" files for various Octagon SF 8008 devices (there are several types with the number SF 8008):


    EDIT:


    Um, OK, these files for Octagon SF8008 do not work as BMP format. It's something different :). I tried renaming it to BMP and it's not enough. Apparently it's a bit more complicated. Special format or some firmware code is also included. Sorry. I don't know. But it should work!
