When will these people learn that spark 7162 needs its OWN ENIGMA 2 Development not some 3rd party compiled from existing pli crap ported over to suit the 7162 sh4 processor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALL CRAPPO

HDMU, PKTEAM, OPENATV, OPENPLI have all FAILED in my opinion to make anything near a solid linux system to suit the spark 7162.

Great that they all support Amiko Alien 2 spark 7162 but none of them function any way near perfect and all have plugins that are ALSO PORTED from existing enigma2 distributions !!!!!!!!!!!!!
How will they ever get the processing power to run any of this crap. The skins need to be rebuilt or simply BUILT from scratch.. PLUGINS also. What a waste of time

SOMEBODY OUT THERE BUILD A PURPOSE MADE ENIGMA2 OS FOR THE SPARK 7162 PLEASE !! sick of running these pieces of crap

EDIT: OHHHHHHHHH AND IF SPARK O/S SOURCE IS NOT MADE PUBLIC VERY SOON EXPECT THAT NOBODY WILL BE BUYING THESE PIECES OF CRAP AMIKO ALIENS BCOS VU+SOLO2 IS WAY BETTER AND WORTH PAYING $100 MORE FOR !!!!!!!!!!
WHY CANT THEY MAKE THE SPARK O/S SOURCE OPEN SOURCE AND HAVE DEVELOPERS CUSTOMISE THE FONT END !!!!!!!! EVERY1 WOULD BUY THE BOX'S IN THE FUTURE. A SIMPLE CUSTOMISED SKIN ONTOP OF THE AWESOME DRIVERS IN STLINUX SPARK OS WOULD MAKE EVERY1 WANT TO BUY MORE

WE NEED TO WRITE A PETITION TO AMIKO ABOUT RELEASING THE SOURCE OF SPARK SO WE CAN GET OUR MONEYS WORTH OUT OF THESE DAMN FUSTRATING BOXES !!!! WHATS THE POINT OF BEING ABLE TO FLASH AN ENIGMA2 IMAGE IF THE DRIVERS ARE WAY INFERIOR THAN SPARKS ORIGINAL ONES OR PERHAPS SOMEONE CAN TELL ME IF THEY ARE SAME

SOMETHING IS JUST STUPID ABOUT THESE BOXES !! YOU CAN RUN A BLIND SCAN ON THE SPARK OS SIDE ON A SATELLITE IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES (FASTEST YOU'VE EVER SEEN) !!!YET YOU CAN'T GET A SIGNAL PERCENTAGE READING ON THE INFOBAR IN THE ENIGMA2 SKIN SIDE OF IT IN A QUICK SECOND. ITS JUST SO DAMN PATHETIC. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET AMIKO TO MAKE THEIR SPARK O/S OPENSOURCE

Your rant is in vain, you do realise the first new Spark 2 receivers are now available and run Spark 2 in Android on Arm hardware (no more SH4). Android is rock solid stable on Arm, Android will eventually take over completely from Enigma as it's in constant development and has support and a huge mount of developers onboard. This first Spark 2 receivers won't be great, but wait till they release multi tuners and the community see Android as a better and more open option to Enigma, so many apps already available for it including XBMC.

Sly could easily supply a cheap SD box that uses their new firmware and give these out to SD customers. It's also in their interest to do so as then they'll be able to use mpeg4 and mheg5 which saves lots of bandwidth and brings many new features

What is the best scart to hdmi upscaler or hdmi to hdmi upscaler that REALLY does work or does at least make a better difference for now ? or is it not worth wasting time trying to upscale ? maybe a temp fix just to improve picture quality slightly.

No such thing

So what are the options now as i only have a standard S** dish, can you get the channels they have turned off on a motorized dish?

No, they are gone but the sd versions are still working

You edit your cline details into the oscam.server file in /var/keys and then start oscam in the alternative softcam manager

Yes, you will need a drive attached for CrossEpg or else it will save to internal flash and cause the box to glitch/crash. CrossEpg is just for satellite as it only gives now and next Epg, terrestrial doesn't need it as it has 7 day Epg

This is a completely new direction. It's Spark ported to Android, being Android based opens many more doors than being dual boot Spark + Enigma. It's also a change of architecture from Sh4 to Arm which has great support

When you first install my image do a full satellite scan with clear before scan enabled so the list of channels were created by the box itself, I somehow find it better, it's the first thing I do after installing an image.

I've replaced the dropbox files with the ones from my usb key, see if it works now

I flashed this same image on two other boxes earlier, so that's a total of 5 boxes I've flashed it on without any difficulty. Connect your regular Usb drive to the rear Usb and at the same time flash this from Usb key from the front slot.

Use the front Usb, I had problems with back Usb and got it to flash using front, not sure why

Have had a few problems getting my backup to work on another box when set to scart, latest version in my dropbox A/V is set to 1080p 60hz

Here is the link to my latest image http://bit.ly/1nxo0aY

It's a new from scratch updated version of the image I prepared before with the latest OpenPli but it also includes an update script (credit to martinxp). To update the image telnet in and run "./Update_E2.sh"

You will need a 256MB swapfile enabled and mounted in the hddmountmanager plugin

As I'm based in Ireland this image is setup to suit satellite on 28e and Irish Terrestrial

What I have confirmed as installed and working:
Working for Irish terrestrial on T+ tuner (works set to Italy, do a full scan if you're not on Cairns Hill)
Working VFD on latest boxes (no red recording icon on latest VFD though)
Oscam (edit your details to the oscam.server file and restart oscam in Alternative SoftCam Manager plugin)
Autobouquets (set to London HD, older version not from repo that adds correct channel numbers in bouquets, 401 SS1 etc)
Rats picon updater (original is not working with this image, I've script modified to suit the location in this image)
Picons (Rats picons for satellite and ones for Irish terrestrial)
Hddmountmanager (external is mounted in /hdd, enable swapfile on first boot)
CrossEPG (daily 7AM)
CoolTVGuide (opens on EPG)
Autotimers
Samba server
Webinterface
Virtual Zap (set to exit button)
Cache flush (set to 15mins)

Not included:
1Channel, TSMedia, RTE player etc (I don't usually add them as they do not stay working for long before needing updates)

Notes:
A/V is set to Scart
Audio is set to AC3 downmix
Streaming and recording two $ channels working
Be sure to create a 256MB swapfile in hddmount manager plugin on first boot (You'll get a green screen on cold boot, but the box boots fine after it restarts)
FTP User: root, pass: blank (to set a pass telnet in and run "passwd root" and it will ask for a pass)
Oscam port: 8888 user: root, pass: oscam

To update the image telnet in and run "./Update_E2.sh"

Enjoy

I'm putting together a new packaged image using the latest updates here. Anyone have a Rats picon updater that works with this image? I've tried a few, all give enigma2 as a dependency error when trying to install using telnet and give a script error when i run it after FTPing it to the box

Quote from thunda

Sorry for all the questions! Does dvbsnoop have to be installed with every image when setting up AB

It's not required in newer versions

Has anyone figured how to set default EPG to CoolTVGuide, I set it but it's not working

SUCCESS!!! with pog's image. Not sure about this but only difference I found is on conf file httpallowed line. Off the head IMO martin's only has 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 while pog's got whole set (127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255,10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255). Anyway Thanks all.

I used my own working backup of /var/keys/ in my image. The range of IP addresses in the oscam.conf file are for http web access to oscam from your browser, they make no difference to Oscam working or not as Oscam connections originate from the box, they are only for incoming web connections. Open ipofamikobox:8888 in your browser, username:root pass:blank

The diseqc lets the box see one lnb or the other, you would need a cable from each lnb to each sat tuner

that backup of Paul's hyperion v3 is showing boot on the display?

It will if it's one of the latest revision AA2's with the new VFD

The image is complete and updated with the latest fixes, I think I've all bugs sorted. Streaming and two $ channels working. Be sure to create a 256MB swapfile in hddmount manager plugin on first boot as this is needed. You'll get a green screen on cold boot, but the box boots fine after it restarts
