I am not that familiar with the Roku, but it should be able to use a playlist file (.m3u) with links to all the channels. To build the playlist, the easiest thing to do would be to create a favorites list (bouquet) with all the channels (or a few separate ones) and then in openwebif under Television->Bouquets if you select the little TV icon, you can download the whole bouquet as a playlist. Then in an editor, you can replace all the ip addresses in the playlist with the no-ip address and it should be usable from outside.

The downside is it would not have an epg (although the Roku may pickup now/next from the stream)

Others may have a better solution...

Sorry, I haven't had time to fully implement this yet - as a workaround I am doing what I describe in this post:http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=90369

Sorry I do not have time for detailed tutorial now, but here are basic steps:

1. Setup dynamic host name ( possibly unecessary if your internet ip address does not change often)
2. Enable http authentication in menu->plugins->openwebif
3. Set "Require authentication for http streams" in menu -> setup -> system-> customize
4. Open your firewall router to allow access to your box. (and probably change default ports for security)
default ports needed are 80,8001,8002,8003 (depending if transcoding is setup.)

Hopefully this is enough to get started (at least hints on what to search for here since there probably are already better posts describing the steps...)

Also, it is possible to stream and watch locally at the same time if you have multiple inputs to your box.

There is no cccam for the alien, you need to switch to oscam. In the oscam section there are tutorials on how to do this as well as converters from cccam settings if you have already...

For program lists, it depends on which satellite(s) and/or cable you have. For many, the autobouquet plugin is useful.

Also helps to know which enigma2 image you installed as there are slight differences with configurations.

I saw that you solved this elsewhere...

Unless your NAS server is particularly slow or for some reason you have a very busy network, it should be fine. (Although you may need to fine tune the read/write settings.) I have an Amiko Alien2 with only a 100mbit interface and I run everything from my Linux server's NFS. I boot from and mount the NFS drive for my root filesystem as well as storage for recordings. I can record two HD channels and watch an HD recording at the same time (although I almost never do...) I did find however that NFS performed much better then CIFS, but that difference may not be so big with other stbs and different NAS boxes - you will have to test and see (if default settings seem slow.)

Also, I quite often watch recordings on other devices (PC, tablet or sometimes phone) so I watch them directly from the Linux server via CIFS. If you are interested in doing this, I wrote a post here about changing openwebif so it streams directly from NAS via CIFS instead of from stb.

For cleaning up your favorites, an alternative to using the remote is to use the bouquet editor in openwebif, or better is dreamboxedit.

Yes, it looks like some packets are not being decrypted. Are you using the 10991 patch posted here:http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=92619
There was a problem a few revisions prior, but since the latest changes, I have not seen any encrypted packets with vlc. If you are using the above patch already, then I can make a debug version so we can see what is going on...

And yes, dvbapi will be needed for au, I just wanted you to try without to see if it was the problem...

Are you using:

rewrite_sdt=1
rewrite_pat=1

in your mumudvb conf?

Under sound options, you should be able to choose the output. Note, the HDMI cable probably will have to be connected for it to show up as an option...

have you tried another?

Like the default? At least to rule out it being the cause...

If you telnet to the box you can run a few commands to see how the disk is configured:

mount
fdisk -l
df -h

If you have been using it for a few years, it could be quite fragmented. (although none of those commands will show if or how much.)
It may be worth backing up any recordings you want to save to an external disk and reformat the internal drive.

Also, if you have to turn it off and wait, it could be overheating - after a few years, it could possibly use a good cleaning...
(And a heavily fragmented drive will also be warmer than usual)

That box is not the best, but it is certainly not the slowest. It should have no problem recording one channel and watching another.

Maybe it is a hard drive problem? What drive are you using and how is it partitioned/formatted? Do you have timeshift enabled?

It could also be a problem with crossepg using up memory. Or some other plugin...

Not sure which laptop you have, or which OS you are using, but usually you have the option of the second screen either being a mirror or an extension of the first. Have you tired both settings?

OpenATV or openvix??? I am not sure about either, but someone else may want to know. :)
I remember one image had a similar problem and it turned out to be a problem of the skin. What skin are you using, and have you tried another? I haven't tried those images in a long time, so not sure what the default skins are and what alternatives are available...

Is it good for ALIEN1 too ?

No, just spark 7162

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about??? Are you trying to change deramboxedit options or properties of some channels??

I know it could be a lot of work, but what about removing posts with password protected files?
Although I do understand sometimes password protecting files posted on file sharing sites - but then they should post the password along with the link...

Every time I load a new page today, my "Notifications" jumps from 38 to 7 to 18 to 5 to 2 to 45 to..... When selecting the drop-down, they are all "New post thanks/like alerts" but when I click on it shows "no results to show." So I can not clear it. Not a big deal, but a little annoying that I have to check it to see if it is not a pm...

Did Prophet fall asleep with his finger on the Thanks/like button??? :)

l know they dedicated their time,knowlegde their effort.But what am trying to say is not for person that dont has an ideal at all.

In this case, you may be right - people with "no idea at all" should probably head to Wikipedia first. But beginners who are able (willing???) to use the search function and are willing (and able) to learn will find a large amount of information here. And beginners who are able to ask thoughtful questions (do at least a little research first) will receive better help and support. (Actually, I am quite surprised sometimes at the patience shown on this forum with people who post something along the lines of "it doesn't work, fix it for me.")

Might be best to ask on OpenSPA forum, they might know better which versions work together.
