This Backup Image is for the Newer H series of Zgemma Satellite receivers, it will work on the H.S and H.2s and confirmed working on the H.2H by Hadron @post #116 (requires additional setup for cable see post #119) but hasn't been tested on the H5

You must have 4gb USB drive or a larger USB drive permanently connected if you want to record programs and use the EPG, also the box connect by LAN to the internet.

Due to this been on DK forums, I won’t give instructions on how to install any lines, all I’ll say is Blue button and second option down then ask google.

OpenAtv 5.3 Stable Zgemma H series Only Dropbox download link below

https://www.dropbox.com/s/oqr6qs459zd2mnq/Openatv5.3%20H%20series%20Backup%20Image.zip?dl=0

Install Backup image
1. On PC format USB drive to FAT32 (quick)
2. Unzip ‘Openatv Backup image.zip’ image
3. Transfer ‘zgemma’ folder to root of USB drive
4. Insert USB into SAT box (Rear USB port) and Power on.
5. Once ‘USB’ displayed on Box a quick press and release ‘standby’ button on box, this will then display ‘FLASH’
6. Leave box, it should take 5 mins to flash then it will auto boot into BBC 1 HD

Set Up USB Hard drive for Recording/Time shift and EPG storage
1. Remove USB Boot drive and Insert your Storage USB drive
2. Menu-setup-system-storage devices-Initialisation, Select your drive and format it
3. Menu-setup-system-storage devices-Ext3 to Ext4, Select your drive and change filesystem
4. Reboot

AutoBuoquetsMaker (ABM) ie auto channel finder and favs maker
ABM is already setup for the London Custom Area, with Adult channel/etc hidden .

If you wish to change Sky UK area from London or to unhid/hid Adult/etc then;
Menu-setup-service searching-ABM-Update Config Files
Menu-setup-service searching-ABM-Providers to the following;
? Sky UK Area- Scroll right to get ‘your area’ custom ie mine’s Scottish East Custom this will replace all none working HD channels with their working SD conterparts
? Menu-setup-service searching- ABM -Hide Bouquets tick/untick as required, green to save
? Menu-setup-service searching- ABM-Start Scan, this will add all the relevant channels for your area

Setting up EPG
EPG is set to update at 00:01 daily, but the initial download needs to be carried out
1. Menu-Setup-Epg-EpgImporter
2. Press 'Yellow' then select 'Yes' (It does take a few seconds to start and the download will goto about 90k+ events)
3. Ensure Menu-Setup-EPG-settings ‘EPG Location’ is correct ‘/media/hdd’, if says ‘internal’ scroll to ‘/media/hdd’
4. Menu-Setup-EPG-load/save/delete – save EPG

**Remember for the EPG and Channel lists to Update daily the Zgemma needs to be in 'standby' at night**
**If you prefer to turn the Zgemma fully off at night then Menu-Setup-Epg-Epgimport-config and set the update time to a time of your convenience during the day, else the EPG won't update'

System image & Plugin updates
System & Plugin updates, I advise only need to be done whenever there is a problem with the Zgemma or if recommend by users on the forum. The majority of the time only major Autobouquetsmaker corrections need to be done ie a Lot of new channels appear and you haven't got them, just do this;
Menu-setup-service searching-Autobouquetsmaker-Update Config Files then rescan

For a System update
menu-setup-software management-software update.

Sky Q Skin
393697397657

Slyk Skin
400083400084

VM HD Skin

[martin035]

Change Skins
To Change the default SkyQ skin;

Menu-Setup-Usage&Gui-Skin Setup

Select whichever skin you want and click Yes to let the Zgemma reboot

Slyk HD skin (Orginal sky HD sky clone) change the following setting;
File List-Menu-Settings and change 'Number of Rows' to '8'

Change SkyQ Toppick Pictures (EPG/FAV Pictures)
Bored of the Sky Toppicks channel pictures, these can easily be changed. Press the 'Help' button then;

If Using the SkyQ skin
1. Scroll to 'SkyQscrape.sh and Press Green, wait for script to say 'Finished'
2. Scroll to 'SkyQpicks.sh' and press Green, wait for script to say 'Finished'
3. Reboot Zgemma

If Using the Slyk Skin
1. Scroll to 'Toppicks1.sh and Press Green, wait for script to say 'Finished'
2. Scroll to 'Toppicks2.sh' and press Green, wait for script to say 'Finished'
3. Reboot Zgemma

Red to Save

MicroSD Card Users
I only use a 128gb MicroSD card for my storage, it requires a bit more to setup;
1. Flash your Backup Inage and when the front display 'FLSH' changes to 'Boot' switch the box off with the white power switch on the back of the box.
2. Remove your USB Drive and Insert your MicroSD Card and power up the Zgemma via the white power switch on the back of the box.
3. Menu-setup-system-Storage devices-initialisation select your Micro SD card and Press Red
4. Menu-Info Panel-Plugins-Mount Manager Press Yellow to Unmount your SD Card then Press Red to set as Hdd (your should see the mount change to /Media/hdd)
5. Reboot
6. As your Micro SD is now mounted as the system Hard drive, you shouldn't need to change any locations Recordings, crossepg or EPG (Crossepg will show /media/mmc*** that's OK)
7. Carry on setting up your Zgemma using the guide at post#1 continuing from 'AutoBuoquetsMaker (ABM) ie auto channel finder and favs maker'

If your Zgemma Freezes during Step 3 Instialisation then you will have to Format it via a PC with SD card slot/adaptor, google 'Linux EXT4 format windows' or 'Minitool partition wizard' to get the required software.

Swapfile
Also as the H series is a lot faster than an original series, I have decided to not use a swapfile for normal Satellite use, however, if using IPTV or Kodidirect would advice setting up a 64mb swap.

Alternate Picons
The Glass Picons complement the SkyQ skin well, but if you want a different set of picons ie MK's colourful and bright set then do this;
387319387320397662397663

1. Download the picon.zip and unzip the folder

http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/picons-channel-icons/mk-220x132-snp-picons/
2. Weed through the picon folder and remove all 'none working' HD picons, Incorrect referenced picons ie Animalplnt as the correct one is Animalplanet etc, Vmedia picons and picons for any bouquets you don't use ie if you dont use the 'Adult channels' remove all the 'named adult picons'. This will reduce the size of the picon folder, otherwise it will fill up your zgemma's internal flash with unwanted picons.
3. FTP to zgemma's picon folder location /usr/share/enigma2/picon and delete all the files in that folder
4. FTP over the picons in your already weed out picon folder to picon folder on the zgemma /usr/share/enigma2/picon
5. reboot

IPTV for Zgemma
Via userbouquet.favourites.tv file
1. FTP your userbouquet.favourites.tv file to /etc/enigma2
2. Reboot Zgemma
3. Press 'Fav' you will now see your new 'IPTV' folder

Via .m3u file
1. Install Esettings+ in your PC and start Esettings+
http://www.esettingsplus.altervista.org/
2. Click on Configure and change 'Language' to English and Configure your profile for your Zgemma ie IP address, user 'root' password leave blank, then press 'test connection' to see if all well, then close Config box
3. Click on the 'Arrow up' box Read decoder
4. In the Right Box, Right Click and select 'Insert Bouquet - TV' give it a name ie 'IPTV' and save
5. In the main window scroll down to the last channel and right click 'IPTV Import (m3u)' press 'download' and select your .m3u on your PC
6. Right Click on the first IPTV channel shown and click select 'Select IPTV Channels' the click 'Applies'
7. All your IPTV channels will be added to the bottom off the main window, click 'IPTV' on the Top Right Bouquet window
8. Then Drag all your 'IPTV' Channels to the bottom Right window
9. Then Click the 'Arrow Down' box Write to Decoder
10. Your Zgemma will Reboot, Press Fav and you will now see your new 'IPTV' bouquet


Kodidirect - kodi for E2 boxes
Kodidirect works OKish on the H series, so here's a guide to install it, would advise setting up a 64mb swapfile.

1. Menu-Info Panel-Plugins-Swapmanager
Green to Create 64mb
Red to Activate
Yellow to Autostart
2. Menu-plugins Green to download plugins and 'Extensions' and find 'Kodidirect' press ok to install
3. Menu-Kodidirect to start Kodidirect and press green to install addons then 'install from kodidirect list'
The following are my preferred addons and why, on installing an addons you might have to enter reenter kodidirect, just part of the install proceedure
Movies-Exodus for your movies and TV boxsets
TV-Ukturks for everything
IPTV-phstreams (AKA Pheonix) for everything
Sport-Sportsmix, Sportsdevil and Castway for all your sports streams
4. Once installed, restart Kodidirect and you should see all your new addon streams ready to access.

All these streams are free and can get hammered when live sports is on, so it can be hit or miss if it will work, one way around this is to use a paid for/subscription service ie Sportsmania
1. Download the sportmania plugin for kodi

https://github.com/Willowsportsmania/SportsMania/tree/master/zips/plugin.video.sportsmania
2. Unzip the folder and FTP the folder to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/KodiDirect/plugins
3. Start Kodidirect and enter sportmania and add your login details - details on how to get a login will be displayed on the Sportmania Icon, Don't ask me

Edit AutobouquetsMaker to Keep Custom channel changes on rescan

Moved a few channels to your liking then ABM on rescan but them back to default, have custom bouquets that won't update or just want to delete those duplicate Irish SS1-4 from the main 'Sports' Bouquet then these instructions are for you
1. Unzip the attached and follow the how to guide.

Awesome build. I just have one query? On my epg, when it is list 10 channels, I can only see 9 as the 10th channel is cut off. Any advice on how to make all 10 channels fit? Many thanks in advance

Yes, that is a pain, unfortunately it's a skin coding error which chabs (author) knows about, he says he'll fix it in the next release, once he does I'll update the image.

[khublaikhan]

Hi,

Thanks for this. I have a new zgemma S2 box I want to remove the old image from it and add this one, for some reason though when I use the "factory reset" option the old image remains. I have tried inserting a new image using the USB method described above but my box doesn't pick up the USB, I have tried a few other sticks to no avail.

Any advice would be appreciated??

This image is for the newer H series Zgemmas it won't work on a S2 box

[anemeth]

Martin,

Thanks for the image, everything went well. But I have a problem with Sky Q skin. The Madiaplayer plugin does not work with this skin. When I try to load it, it just crashes OpenAtv and reboots.

I have the crash log, looks like couple of things are missing for the Madiaplayer (if you want I can post the crash log). When I switch to MatrixHD skin Madiaplayer work well.

Do you have a Mediaplayer working with Sky Q skin?

Thanks,

[martin035]

Do you have a Mediaplayer working with Sky Q skin?

Thanks,

No, and I need mediaplayer to play movies from my Network drive, hopefully chabs will release v1.3 to fix all the bugs in his skin. At present I'm testing kiddac's Vskin HD and found it better, so using that as my default skin now. Once Chabs releases V1.3 I will test it out and decide whether to change the image skin.

[martin035]

TBH never thought of that, was using the default player via 'file list' button then changing the location to my network hard drive.

[smirnoff_rules]

Cheers for that, I'll give it a try and see how good it is on a H series, hopefully the box is quick enough. Notice dreamplex available via download plugins, is there any difference between your version and one in n the repos.

might be better l dont know m8 best install the newest , l use on h1h and h2h and works fine m8 , cant bet a nowtv box tho

[happy_highlander]

I use plex on all my recievers (and nowtv/firestick) and no offence smirnoff but the gigablue quad+and the xtrend et8000 both run plex better than nowtv lol there are no 5.1aac playback issues which effect the firestick version. @martin if you want to use the H series to stream from a remote plex server I'd suggest you set it to trandcode for movies but will need to change it to stream or direct play for music

[martin035]

Minor Update: Due to bugs with the Sky Q skin I have changed the default skin to the Kiddac's Orginal and best Sky HD box skin, also added his latest Virgin media look a like skin for any cable user who fancy trying this out.



Slyk HD 3.008 Skin added as Default skin
VSkin HD 1.003 Skin Added for Cable users


Sky Q is still on the image and will be updated once chabs releases a new version.

Vskin pictures

[martin035]

Minor Update: Chabs has released V1.3 of his SkyQ skin fixing the majority of problems/bugs, unfortunately the Media Player plugin still crashes with this skin, either use another Media player ie Plex or another Skin.



SkyQ Sikin updated to V1.3 and added as Default skin
VSkin HD Skin updated 1.007

I'm thinking about signing up for an IPTV service that is compatible with my h2s.
I was wondering if there are any plugins or the like that can enable me to add my IPTV channels to a bouquet so i can access them from the EPG? And even retrieve what's on etc?
As integrated as possible.
Thanks.

If using autobouquetsmaker ensure you set 'Keep all non-ABM bouquets' to 'Yes' in the ABM configue menu, else you'll lose you lists on an ABM scan

Minor Update: Removed Non Working BT HD channels



ABM updated

Anyone know how to get kodi direct working properly? Trying to use castaway and no streams are loading, just stuck at 1%.

[martin035]

I seem to keep losing EPG after reboots.
Any idea why?


Yes, sounds like your epg.dat file is corrupt, do the following to fix

1. FTP to your Zgemma's Hdd /media/hdd and delete the epg.dat file
2. Menu-setup-service searching- ABM-Start Scan
3. Menu-Setup-EPG-load/save – save EPG
4. Press EPG and see if your EPG is populated then reboot and see if it's still been populated

If you getting it working let us know pse, I've got castaway on my Kodi machine and with what's happened to the BT channels and maybe the future, this addon could stop my Zgemma become a future door stop.

Hi, I would like to try this build on my H2s I have Wooshbuild on my box at the mo, do I just flash this build over the top of Wooshbuild?

Yes, backup any important cfg files first then flash the image it will over write woosh's build, then restore your important cfg files and setup the Zgemma following the instructions in post #1

[martin035]

Minor Update: New Channel picons & Olympic Bouquet added



Picons added; from post#36, Harrypotter & Olympics channels
Olympic HD & SD channels 1-8 added to Sports Bouquet

[martin035]

For those of you wanting the $ky Spies picon;

FTP the attached to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

[divyesh]

Hi this image work with h2h box?

[digicon]

Yes it will but you will need to manually configure the second tuner on the H.2H

[martin035]

AutoBouquetsMaker names the BBC Olympic HD channels differently to SNP Picon names of the relevant channels, if you wish to have picons for these channels just unzip the attached and FTP to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

Edit:Latest Backup Image has be updated to reflect this change

[martin035]

Minor Update: As $ky Sports 5 ROI have the rights to broadcast the majority of 3 o'clock kick offs in Ireland instead of eir sports, I've added a custom bouquet with &ky Sports 5 ROI, $ky Sports 5 UK will not be showing any 3 o'clock kick offs. Also added missing/incorrectly named picons.



Custom Bouquet 'Sports ROI' added with $ky Sports 5 ROI
BBC Olympic HD 1-8, &ky Spies and xxxReal wives picons added

[damiensk]

Hi Martin035,
would i be able to delete the abm that i have on my box now and d/l the abm in the plugins, so that it gives me ss5 roi custom bouquet
would just save me a re-flash and going through a set up again.

thanks for all the hard work you put in for keeping these boxes upto date.

[holmesju]

Fantastic image mate runs like a dream on H.S, takes all the hassle out of setting up your own box. Keep up the good work :chuncky:

No, unfortunately ABM haven't updated their Repo and I don't know if they will on this subject, so updating the ABM plugin won't give you $ky sports 5 ROI. You could try this modded file I've attached, it's not my file and hasn't been tested by me, it's meant to transfer $ky sports 5 ROI to you main sports bouquet and give you 2x $ky sports 5 one been the ROI one, however, it won't change the name unfortunately to $ky sports 5 ROI.

Use at your own risk and if it f***s up your box please don't give me any grief lol

Unzip then FTP the attached to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/systenplugins/autobouquetsmaker/custom then rescan ABM

Thanks to gmanpanthro for the file.

Edit: New Custommix file added to backup image dated 15th Aug

[damiensk]

Hi, just got a new box today & tried to flash it with the above. It's a HS I've got but after unzipping the zgemma file from the dropbox link supplies in post when I put the freshly formatted 8gb stick in the box it just says boot then USB followed by Update then counts up to 100. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

Have you done what martin said here " 5. Once ‘USB’ displayed on Box a quick press and release ‘standby’ button on box, this will then display ‘FLASH’ "

[CrowsNest1970]

Sorry I must of overlooked that part, I will try it again in a few mins & let you know thanks m8 :)

[CrowsNest1970]

yep, worked wonders thank you maca :) flash looks amazing Martin035, keep up the good work & thanks :)

[digicon]

No, unfortunately ABM haven't updated their Repo and I don't know if they will on this subject, so updating the ABM plugin won't give you $ky sports 5 ROI. You could try this modded file I've attached, it's not my file and hasn't been tested by me, it's meant to transfer $ky sports 5 ROI to you main sports bouquet and give you 2x $ky sports 5 one been the ROI one, however, it won't change the name unfortunately to $ky sports 5 ROI.

Use at your own risk and if it f***s up your box please don't give me any grief lol

Unzip then FTP the attached to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/systenplugins/autobouquetsmaker/custom then rescan ABM

Thanks to gmanpanthro for the file.






Just for forum members information if you use this script file and also use SNP type picons this script will not allow the picons to be shown, If your using SRP type picons you have no problem.

[martin035]

Just for forum members information if you use this script file and also use SNP type picons this script will not allow the picons to be shown, If your using SRP type picons you have no problem.

Just to add to Digicon's advice, the backup image does use SNP picons, so you will encounter the problems he describes if using the default picon set.

For a hassle free option, I advice just to install the latest backup image at post #1 this will give you SS5 ROI with an associated picon.

Edit: I have tested a new customix file and have added it to the backup imaged dated 15 Aug

[martin035]

Updated Picons for Btsport 3 and My5 (channel5+24 Rebrand)

FTP the attached to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

[martin035]

Software Update: New Channel picons added, Movie Organiser plugin added and a tested/working Customix File add



Picons added for the following channels; BTsports3 & My5
Movie Organiser Plugin added (Cleans up Movies/Recording and put them in a relevant Folder, kinda like a Sky+ box)
sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml file added (Places SS5 Roi @channel 408 in the main 'Sports' Bouquet) works with SNP picons
'Sports ROI' Bouquet removed


I wasn't going to change the Custommix file due to the fact it renamed all channels and therefore stopped SNP picons working, however, this Custommix file has been coded to added SS5 a different way and is SNP picon safe.

[martin035]

Absolutely typical, you do an update, come back from work and $ky have gone and change the name of a few channels, therefore, requiring new picons, I'll add the picons to the next update but if you want them now FTP the attached to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

[martin035]

Software Update: ABM's github has been updated to add SS1 - 5 RoI to channels 495 in the main 'Sports' Bouquet by default, so custommix file isn't required and removed to stop future issues, picons from post #62 and SS1-5 RoI added.



Sat_282_uk_Customix.xml removed as new sat_282_sky_uk.xml provider file updated
Various picons added

Thanks for your work on this, it's s lovely build, is there a way to alter what the record button does in the epg? Ie to have the record or series link option instead of add time or auto timer, thanks

[martin035]

is there a way to alter what the record button does in the epg? Ie to have the record or series link option instead of add time or auto timer, thanks


Aye, I've changed the labels from 'Timer' to 'Record' and 'AutoTimer' to 'Series Link' just follow the instructions to install the new python script file to the zgemma, I will also add this update to the next release as I think it's a good addition.


1. Unzip the attached EPGSelection.py file to your PC's desktop
2. FTP to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens
3. Delete existing EPGSelection.pyo
4. FTP the EPGSelection.py from your PC's desktop to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens
5. Reboot your Zgemma
6. FTP to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens and delete EPGSelection.py to clean up the folder

I've never used it, as it only flash's a base image from openatv's github, bit of a backwards move as you would then need to install everything post flash including settings.

Not if you backup settings first. It offers this option when you choose to upgrade. Not sure about your skin as it's not in the download section. Everything else will download again BUT crossepg configuration needs to be redone don't know why lol. The settings backup also includes that which can't be named.

Na, neither Kiddac's or Chababu's skins are in the Github and these skins seem very popular so that could cause issues


BUT crossepg configuration needs to be redone don't know why lol
I guess it would install Crossepg 0.8.1 which again has issue with openatv


The settings backup also includes that which can't be named.
Lol, that would be useful

On another note, have you tried the new vix4e2project image that lincsat has made reference to in this post, read on another forum it fully supports the Zgemma H series and has Crossepg 0.8.1 compatibility
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/543626-Zgemma-H-2s-Twin-Tuner

Just wondering as that's my next project when I get a few days off.

[fm89uk]

Hello Martin new poster so forgive me if any of what I'm about to explain is an easy fix but I followed your walkthrough, step by step after purchasing a zgemma h2s box.

Set up went well at first and I managed to use google as you suggested if you catch my drift ;)!

All seemed to be well but suddenly I can no longer time shift or record. Currently I'm using a 16gb USB stick plugged into rear of the box as this should be ample for what I'm looking to record etc. As it stands I've had to reflash the box and again all seems well, could this issue be down to when the epg tries to update at 4 in the morning or is it down to the fact that I am using a 16g USB stick rather than an external HDD? I know the minimum recommendation was 4gb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.

[martin035]

Fm89uk, the issue I would say is down to timeshift, it's a pain in the bum to setup correct, hence why I don't bother with it, my advice reflash your zgemma, reintialise your usb drive and leave the timeshift setting as they are. Then see how it goes

[fm89uk]

I set the time shift to record after 2 secs to allow live pause and rewind and it seems to create a folder on the USB drive called time shift and when it is working the time shift is working as it should. Is there any way to get it working with time shift? I've went on fleabay and placed a order for a cheap external hdd to try and see if it makes a difference as spoke to someone else I know from this site who had similar issues when trying to use a usb stick rather than external hd. Could that be the cause rather than the time shift?

It seems sometimes the usb is unmounting and upon remounting it seems to work again, thats whats leading me to believe it may be the usb stick issue.

Many thanks for the quick reply.

[maca]

Sometimes when these boxes are switched Off the usb will need remounting .

[happy_highlander]

If you have left the timeshift settings as they are at 12 events for 12 hours your 16gb stick is not even close to big enough. What is happening is your are filling up the usb stick so it can't record (timeshift) any more. Upon reboot the temporary event files are being cleared allowing you to timeshift again. Set it to one event for 3 hours. It will still fail from time to time but will be much more stable

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

[fm89uk]

Ok i will try the above and see how i get on. Surely if on a channel in timeshift it should delete temporary files as soon as channel is changed? I leave the box in standby at night.

[happy_highlander]

Ok i will try the above and see how i get on. Surely if on a channel in timeshift it should delete temporary files as soon as channel is changed? I leave the box in standby at night.
the default settings are to store 12 events (programmes) for 12 hours on each event and yes it should delete after channel change but doesn't always so you end up with 12 lots of 12 hour recordings. By setting it to 1 event for 3 hours you are reducing the physical amount of recording timeshift is allowed. As I said it will still fail from time to time but at least your usb will still have space for epg and standard recordings. To get rid of any failed events download filebrowser from the plugins menu then navigate to timeshift folder and delete all three files for each failed event, (just a bit easier than ftp into the box all the time) then next time you change channel permanent timeshift will restart.

[fm89uk]

As guessed it was the timeshift folder that was full. So as suggested ive changed the events to 1 and time to 3 hours to make sure space is freed up. Is this the only way to limit ammount of space that the time shift can save?

I've got an 80gb usb hd coming anyways so hopefully that should make it a bit easier.

When i reboot the box should that empty the timeshift folder automatically? Or is there a way to empty timeshift without having to manually delete the files through filebrowser plugin?

rebooting usually won't clear the timeshift cache, and the only way to clear it is manually deleting the files, you could try writing a script to do this as a cron job daily but this won't solve the problem if it fails as the files will stay there till the cron job runs. You have lots of settings to force the timeshift to check including setting a minimum amount of space to leave on the drive e.g if you have an 80gb drive and you set timeshift to leave 60gb it can only record timeshift to the remaining 15gb or so that will be left on the drive after formatting. By rights the settings you now have will delete the cache and start a fresh timeshift after one event (programme or 3 hours, whichever comes first) If it fails to delete the files it physically can't start a new timeshift as you have set to a single event only, unfortunately on the zgemma there is no way of knowing if this has happened until you try to pause or rewind live tv lol. How often do you really rewind the tv ????????? much better to disable permanent timeshift and just press pause when you need to.

[jjwerrett]

Hiya I see your using a 128gb sd card, how do you find it handles compared to usb stick when comes to write / read speeds when recording etc or that as I using mine with everything on a USB stick including time shift etc so don't know if a sd card will suffer when record and watch another channel with time shift enabled

[martin035]

Ok, I don't use timeshift, but to test the Micro SD card and see whether there was any recording issues ie stutter/freezing on playback I did the the following;

(All storage ie Crossepg, epg and swapfile are stored on the SD card as well and No USB drive is connected.)

2x simultaneous recordings, Emmerdale on ITV2 HD and Monkey Life on Sky1+1 SD (which would be the same as recording 1 channel and using timeshift simultaneously)

On playback, NO stuttering or freezing was displayed. My card is an Integral 128GB Micro SDXC Card UHS-I U1 - 80MB/s so the important thing is if you want to dual record or use timeshift is to get fast storage whether that is an Micro SD card or USB drive, whatever at the time is the cheaper.

But if you don't use the timeshift or record occasionally, then get whatever Micro SD card or USB drive you can afford, if you want to keep your recording then get a large drive preferably a mechanical hard drive as that will be the cheaper option, if you're a record and delete person then get a 16-32 gb USB or SD drive as anything larger is a waste of money.

[jjwerrett]

Thanks for the detailed reply with even tests run before hand, I got a 128gb sd Samsung evo+ so will pop that in and try it out, as currently have the WiFi adapter in the back so the front has to take the ugly usb stick with one very annoying bright blue flashing led lol.

Will try the sd card out today and see how it performs 😀

Yes, a gremlin in the software, that causes problems from time to time, this normally fixes it;
1. Menu-setup-service searching-ABM-update config files
2. Menu-setup-service searching-ABM-configure and include 'not indexed' channels to 'No' press 'Green'
3. Menu-setup-service searching-ABM-configure and include 'not indexed' channels to 'Yes' press 'Green'
4. Start scan

hopefully you should get those channels back

didnt work on the first go,

Yes, the installed 'Crossepg' plugin only works for the satellite EPG, for cable EPG you need the Epgrefresh plugin, download from the plugins menu.

Hi mate regarding the ss roi and eir is there a way to stop them disappearing once you have them. Lost again after a few days. Thanks

It's an issue with Autobouquetsmaker' scripting, which is way beyond my level, all I can advice is doing what I stated in post#108 and confirmed working by damiensk at post#110, might take a couple of scans , then once you got those channels back is to turn Autobouquetsmaker's daily auto scan off and only do manual scans when needed.

Great skin and epg, thanks a lot for all your hard work Martin.

[Hadron]

Just upgraded from an H2 to an H.2H. Thanks for your backup image martin. :encouragement: Working on both Sat & cable.

Had 2 or 3 crashes causing the box to reboot. Happens while scrolling through the EPG & then selecting a channel. Not sure why. Didn't have time to read the crash report before the box rebooted. Might try a different skin (using default $ly Q skin at moment).

[martin035]

Cheers Hadron for the info, was it just a matter of changing/configuring tuner B and ABM for cable and installing a cable EPG.

Not to sure about the crashes but I'm sure when your bored you'll have a look at the crash logs, might be a conflict between the sky Q skin and the movie organiser plugin as I sometimes get the odd crash after watching a recorded program then changing channels.

Also try MK picons, they do look good with the sky Q skin.

Edit: Confirmed, there was a bug with SkyQ V1.5 skin causing the box to crash, V1.6 fixes this bug, I've taken down the backup image and will update the Skin to V1.6 and add the latest picons, hopefully tomorrow.

[martin035]

[Hadron]

Cheers Hadron for the info, was it just a matter of changing/configuring tuner B and ABM for cable and installing a cable EPG...

First thing I did was configure ABM to add provider prefix to bouquet. It makes it easier to see if you are on the sat or cable tuner. In the ABM providers, I enabled Virgin UK & selected my area. Set up the bouquets.

Enabled tuner B for DVB-C (although I'm not sure it it was already enabled). Put in my network ID. Service scan type = Provider & chose Virgin Media (6952) as my provider. I then did a service search scan on tuner B only (as the sat side of things was already set up). Took around 25 minutes I think.

Finaly, I did an ABM scan to put the channels in their Favourite folders.

I havent installed EPG_refresh yet, as for some reason, I got a 7 day EPG on the cable channels when I first set the box up. It's gone now though.

[digicon]

It should not take 25 mins for ABM to do a cable scan for doing both Sat (UK+Ire) and cable on a H series should take around 2-3 minutes tops, the cable EPG will load if you set the EPG - Settings - Enable Virgin EPG to 'On' when you goto any Cable channel and remain on that channel for around a minute the EPG will populate.

Yep. The ABM scan took a couple of minutes. It was the cable channel scan that took 25 minutes.

It will have taken 25 mins for the network scan on cable to generate the cables.xml before abm would work. Not that I'm questioning your superior knowledge digicon
Like hadron said 10 hrs ago but I'm too old and blind to notice all the posts before opening my big gob

[digicon]

I suppose that would depend on which ABM you use if you use the 'Larazier C2' from the plugins then yes you do need to do a cable scan first before you do the ABM.

But the OE Alliance ABM included on images such as OpenVix,OpenATV etc.. already have .xml config files loaded and they can also be updated inside the main menu and do not require a scan beforehand.

Again i suppose it depends on which ABM version was used

[Hadron]

Just got round to flashing the latest image.

Well the $ly Q skin has certainly changed. I don't remember seeing those $ly channel adverts on the right hand side when pressing the EPG button. I'm racking my brain trying to remember what was there before!

Also, when selecting a folder after pressing the FAV button, there isn't enough room for the full name of the channel. It was OK on the last image.

[martin035]

Just got round to flashing the latest image.

Lol, told you the skin was a total new experience, the sky adverts your on about are know as 'toppicks' you can even get a python script to change these daily, however, I won't be adding this feature to the image this will be an end user mod, as I can already see the questions appearing


when pressing the EPG button. I'm racking my brain trying to remember what was there before!

Press EPG-Menu then change 'Show bouquets on Launch' to 'No' this will put it back to the original 'enter EPG when EPG is pressed' mode.


pressing the FAV button, there isn't enough room for the full name of the channel. It was OK on the last image.

Aye, I think that is because you have 4 digit channel numbers displayed, if you look at mine below you can see the full channel name, but I'll have a play sometime and see what I can do.

[Hadron]

I've been googling v1.5 & the middle column showing the channel name & current programme used to be much wider (see attachment). Seems like too much space is being allocated to these toppicks. Even without the channel numbers, the column is still too narrow compared to the old layout.

Looking around on other forums, I see that others have mentioned this as well. Chabs released v1.602 on 16/10/16 which reverted back to the old layout. Unfortunately, I'm no longer a member of the forum I saw it on so cannot download it.

I might go back to using the old $ly HD skin, as there's a couple of other things I miss, like the fast forward indicators X2, X4 etc. not showing, & the info bar not showing whether I'm on tuner A or B (unless I've missed those settings in the menu somewhere).

[martin035]

Software Update: Chabs' SkyQ skin updated to V1.603 this has the Hybrid Fav Menu layout described by Hadron above, which gives a wider layout for channel information

Cheers martin. Will give it a try when the Formula V8 finishes.

[Hadron]

Didn't know about this hybrid 1.603 version. I only saw mention of 1.602 which reverted back to the old layout. Although more room has been given to the channel column, it's still not as wide as the original. I wish there was an option to not show toppicks. They just take up a lot of space that could be used for more useful information.

martin...is it possible to upload just the 1.602 skin so that I can ftp it to this image myself?

Unfortuantly chabs has hard coded the toppicks into his skin as it makes the skin more like an original skyQ box, I'll pm you a link

Few channel rebands for Christmas, just FTP to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

[martin035]

Software Update: Movie organsier bug fix, 12/24 timer option didn't work correctly, this update removes those options - this update isn't really required as by default the plugin was set to 6hrs timer




Movie Organiser updated to V2.08


For those of you wishing to just update the plugin manually and not reflash your Zgemma the Ipk file is attached below just unzip and FTP to your Zgemma's usb storage then install via menu-setup-software management-local extension

[Hadron]

...Put in my network ID. Service scan type = Provider & chose Virgin Media (6952) as my provider. I then did a service search scan on tuner B only (as the sat side of things was already set up). Took around 25 minutes I think...

I noticed that there was also "Virgin Media (ex c&w)" in the provider list. When I used that instead of "Virgin Media (6952)" the scan took less than 3 minutes & gave the same number of channels.

[martin035]

Think this should be the last of the rebands for Christmas, just FTP to /usr/share/enigma2/picon

Hi Martin035, I've been using your backup for a while now and its spot on :top:. I've got the new Zgemma H5 ordered and the only difference I can see between it and the H2.H which I've been using your image on is the hybrid twin cable tuner. Have you tested or do you know if this image will work on the new H5. Thanks in advance :top:

[martin035]

@holmesju, I haven't tested it, so can't confirm working.

Edit: On looking at the firmware (openatv5.3) for the H5, the file structure is different ie a Zgemma 2s uses a 'sh1' folder, Zgemma H.2s uses a 'H3' folder and the Zgemma H5 uses a 'H5' folder, this normally means that the software for each model type has no cross compatibility, sorry.

Quick question guys is it worth while doing software updates for the box through the setup menu ? I ask as i carried out an update the other day and had a warning pop up saying my image version was old and could risk box failing to boot after re flashing and also a pop up warning saying the image was not tested. So i continued setup and as expected the box was stuck in boot, no big hassle simple reflash and setup and all back to normal. However i see there is a firmware update for my receiver from October is it worth updating ? also what other software updates would people recommend ?
I use the image in this post and the only other thing I have added was epg refresh as its a dual tuner H.2H im running.

So i continued setup and as expected the box was stuck in boot, no big hassle simple reflash and setup and all back to normal.

When I got my first zgemma I did OTA updates weekly, but I found that sometimes the updates Openatv release broke things, I would then have to roll back my image until Openatv fix the issue a few days later. Then the good people at ABM added an 'update config files' in there setting, which updated the ABM channel lists. As this was the main reason I did software updates I therefore decided not to do OTA updates to my own box, my next update for my Zgemma will be to 5.4 hopefully in the next few weeks.

As to the warning, this will come up if you haven't done an OTA update for a few weeks, I have never know a box to get stuck in boot, but as you correctly stated it can happen. The best way around this is if you get this message before updating is to make your own backup image and put the 'zgemma' folder on a USB stick before hand, so if it does break the Zgemma, a quick reflash and your back to where you were be before you tried the update.

However, when I release an updated backup image on this thread, I always do an OTA update and test the image before releasing the image as I want it to be current.


However i see there is a firmware update for my receiver from October is it worth updating ? also what other software updates would people recommend ?

The latest image on this thread is dated 18th Nov so will incorporate any updates from Oct, the only reason I add updates to the skins, movie organiser and picons, is due to the fact these plugins can't be updated OTA as there not in the Openatv github and have to be updated manually, so in theory saving the end user the hassle.


I use the image in this post and the only other thing I have added was epg refresh as its a dual tuner H.2H im running.

Aye, a Cable EPG plugin is always needed for a H.2H as the default Crossepg is for Satellite.

[BONGOVR6]

Thanks for the response Martin, regarding the updates i was doing this weekly when the warning cropped up i did however continue with the update and the box froze in boot up as per warning so reflashed using your latest image on here and then went to software updates again and the same problem occurred ran updates stuck in boot.

I am currently setting it up again using the image attached on here that you've uploaded much appreciated by the way so once its up and running I am staying away from software updates as not wanting to go through all this again or as you say backup my image and reflash back to box.

I only run the config scan on abm now and again and think from now on i'll stick to that unless any major updates crop up.

[martin035]

@BONGOVR6 I've just noticed that the OTA feeds are showing Amder which normally means there's an issue with an update and Openatv are in the process of fixing it.

Would advice just reflashing my latest image then add EPG refresh for your cable EPG, get it to a stage your happy with then make your own backup image, then check daily until the OTA feeds show Green.

My advice to all, if you want to do OTA software updates ensure the traffic light feeds shows green

Thats where i have went wrong was oblivious to the traffic light just cracked on with updates, reflashed last night set up as usual installed epgefresh so back to normal. Done an OTA software update search just to be curious and yeah still showing plenty updates and informing the image is old so never ran updates as box is working so no need to change anything.

As the software update was showing green light thought I'd do an update and as you stated the update breaks the image and your Zgemma fails to boot, flash the lastest vanilla openatv image and the zgemma boots correctly, so my backup image isnt compatible with the new software, easy to fix I just need to rebuild an image. However, crossepg 0.6 & 0.8 both dont work with the new images, so it looks like the future image will have epgimport and the EPG plugin.

I will make a new backup image over the next couple of days, but not to day as I'm nursing the hangover from hell.

Unfortunately, that is a limitation of the epgimport plugin, if the good people at xmltv don't update the info for that channel then nothing will be displayed, way around this is to manually set a timer to record the channel /time

Yep. The easiest way to set a manual timer is to tune to the channel you want to record first. This ensures that the correct channel will already be shown when you select manual timer. Press "Timer" on remote & then green to add the details.

Zgemma H.2H is a Combo Satellite + DVB-C/T/T2 tuner used for Cable or Freeview HD, seeing as you only have Satellite you can only use the single satellite connection for recording from satellite.

You could connect an aerial feed into the other DVB-C/T/T2 tuner and have all the Freeview HD stations so you could either record from satellite and watch freeview or vice versa

Can't you just update ABM then do a scan

Menu-setup-service searching-autobouquetsmaker-update config files then start scan

Or remove ABM in the plugin menu then reinstall ABM via the plugins menu, this will give you the latest version then do a scan.

Been trying for a good few days now to do the update the config files and today its updated!

So now ABM has removed the black channels from list but why cant we do a software update through Openatv option? Is the servers down of have we got to build a new image?

It seems the software updates are down as I have not had any software updates for a few weeks and usually if i check daily there is always something to update.
