Hi,

SBS Are adding a new channel on 1st July, 2019.

SBS World Movies will be coming to LCN 32 as a HD service. It will replace the SD version of SBS VICELAND.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Prl,

There are still a lot of devices out there with the 32GB limit. I would be surprised if 32GB cards went away that fast.

Still, if they are cheap or on sale you may as well grab a few spares.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Prl,

Zap timers are being progressively broken more and more with every change to the code. All the ill conceived hacks to this code should all be reversed.

Ian.

IanSav

Hi Gleff, Did you look at the colour chart I provided? https://iansav.bitbucket.io/OverlayHD.html Adding OverlayHD settings to OpenWebif is beyond the scope if the skin. Work is currently being investigated on OpenViX to allow skins to be reloaded or changed WITHOUT requiring a GUI restart. Given Be...

I think he's well aware that he can, and has done in the past. He just doesn't like doing it.

Fair enough. Mrcell could also replicate the hard drive contents onto an external drive for safety.

Ian.

IanSav

Hi Mrcell,

I always remove the hard drives before sending anything off for repair. Fortunately removing the Beyonwiz hard drives is not that arduous a task.

Hi,

I wonder how much SBS paid for the new logo that is almost like the old logo? This looks like the $100K ASIC effort.

Ian.

IanSav

Hi Confused, Does the empty trash option work the same as on a PC? I know that I can move or play a file from trash. On the Beyonwiz the trash folder is no different from any other folder. File can be copied / moved / etc into and out from the trash folder. The trash folder is "special" in...

Hi Gully,

Don't thank me, thank the engineers who finally came to C31's aid and fixed the transmitter / transmission error.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Gully,

The PID issues have already been corrected and by the time you read this, or shortly thereafter, the EPG data should also be restored.

Apparently the issue was outside of C31's control. I believe it was a transmitter / transmission issue.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi,

The first two posts in this thread have been updated with information and details regarding the new OverlayHD version 1.70 release.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi, The value self.cancelMsg comes from an updated ConfigList.py that I am developing but is not yet in production. There is a lot of replicated code that I intend to remove in an updated Setup.py , ConfigList.py and config.py and unfortunately a few of the changes were left in the OverlayHD plugin ...

IanSav

Hi Robert,

Prl beat me to it but there is no useful information in that log. (The crash itself was not captured in that log.)

IanSav

Hi Mike, Channel 32 refers to the UHF channel that carries the C31 signal. C31's Logical Channel Number (LCN) is 44. I saw the note about the signal being available on LCN350 but that is not a reasonable assertion. The LCN range 350 to 399 is reserved for overflow services and no broadcaster can be ...

IanSav

Hi Mike,

Without a rescan I assume that you are using the old C31 settings which should work, as you have observed. If you perform a rescan while the broadcast signal is faulty you may not be able to access C31.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi,

I just tried to call C31 on their listed number to let them know about their broadcast issues An answering machine took the call. I don't know how to contact their master control or engineering departments.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi, Just got home. No EPG on C31 here either. Looking at C31 with my data analyser and C31 looks in a bad way. The ONID, TSID and SID values are now all "1" and not their normal values of 12832, 3584 and 3585 respectively. All other PIDs seem okay. The EPG issues are a common problem. I be...

IanSav

Hi Alan, I am no expert in this area but it seems to me that you would want to correctly maintain the order of the tuners in case there is any amplification of the signal across the tuner set. EDIT: To clarify, as MrQuade better explained, when I said the correct order I meant connecting the antenna...

IanSav

Hi,

I suspect my T4 was left off far longer than one would technically expect.

It is odd to find devices that need some real down time before they come back to life.

Ian.

IanSav

Hi dRdoS7, What I am trying to tell you is that when I had to send something back to Beyonwiz I was told to wait for and was issued a PDF voucher to be attached to the parcel for the free return shipping. I assume that this would have been cheaper for Beyonwiz than a retail based shipment. Regards, ...

IanSav

Hi dRdoS7,

If you didn't pre book the return with Beyonwiz then you may not get the shipping costs refunded.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi dRdoS7,

Normally you get a pre paid voucher when you make a booking to send things back to Beyonwiz. I have not heard of shipping refunds being issued.

Regards,
Ian.

EDIT: Correct spelling.

The WA sounds good but mail from rural NSW to WA and return is $79.70. Thanks Oz post!

Talk to Mark there are some cost effective options available. Australia Post is (should be) your last choice. Mark can explain.

Hi Exitguy,

No issues with ABC here in Bayside.

Hi Ric,

Have you tried contacting Mark (Warkus on this forum)? (http://decisivecomputersolutions.com.au/contact.html) Mark's services are highly valued.

Hi Mrcell, I'm still tossing up upgrading my T3 to a U4. The front panel display has died entirely on the T3 now so it's seat of the pants sometimes e.g. I changed my last firmware update from NOFORCE to FORCE because I wouldn't be able to see the prompts :) The display issue results from a power su...

IanSav

Hi Prl,

I was asked to log in today and none of that happened to me. I just tried another log in and still no issues for me.

Hi Glen,

OpenViX are using 1.14.4.

I assume that 1.15.x is being developed but it will NEVER be a released version. When work on 1.15.x is completed then version 1.16.0 will be released.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Glen, I thought that we were reasonably up to date with the GStreamer, I doubt we are more than about 6 months behind. IanSav normally keeps a close eye on the GStreamer versions, he probably knows what is the latest available version and what version is in the current U4 firmware. Until PeterU i...

IanSav

Hi PeterU,

Have you considered using a NAS and then NFS mounting the the NAS on your development PCs?

Ian.

Sorry Ian, I refered to your feed as "beta" feed when it should have been "beyonwiz" feed..... DOH!!!

Hi Star6key,

I suspect that the right side information may be the result of HDMI recordings not having or populating the meta files in the same way as regular recordings.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Star6key, You would need to give me a screen shot with a highlight of exactly what field you are querying but in general there was a change to OverlyHD to correctly report directory names, when highlighted, rather than display nothing. I didn't think that change would affect recordings. Regards, ...

IanSav

Hi Paul,

I think the T4 with the T3 remote is the best unit Beyonwiz released. I am happy to have it back and running.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Paul, It seems that the longer it's off the more likely it will recover from this strange state. There may be something in this. My T4 HDMI port died 18 months ago. Last week I took it out of storage, upgraded the firmware and tried to set it up without the HDMI to do some firmware testing. To my...

IanSav

Hi,

I would be happy to host any plugins on my feed server to make it easier for Beyonwiz users to access.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Wozzzzza,

I would suggest that SSDs will likely lighten your wallet but have minimal impact on PVR performance.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Gully,

Fortunately, when Prl checks in his changes the OpenViX team can access them and build the Australian picon package that I can then host on my feed server.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi Stephenh, As a newbie who has recently acquired a U4, what exactly are the issues with the official feeds? To an outsider it looks like manufacturer support in terms of firmware development has stagnated, given last official release was many months ago ... or am I missing something? And yes, I'm ...

IanSav

Hi All, Umm, yes the firmware updates are due to my feed server. Huevos at OpenViX built the new australian picon files for me and I put them on my feed server late last night. All users with my feed server added to their receiver will have received the 14-Dec-2018 picon updates. I will try to keep ...

IanSav

Hi dRdoS7,

I just checked OverlayHD versions and the 1.64 version should install on your older version of the firmware. Can you please confirm that you are actually trying to install OverlayHD version 1.64 on your receiver.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi dRdoS7,

Those firmware versions are so old that OverlayHD has moved on. I will try and find an older version to put online so you can find a version to install.

I really wish there was a more recent production firmware version so all this issues would go away.

Regards,
Ian.

IanSav

Hi,

LOL

Now to work on "10 Peach"!

Hi Prl, Here are most/all the fix submissions from OpenViX: - https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/commit/b8f6106d35946a3f5ae5d2dbf6ac5e2697a0d150 - https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/commit/4efa635c8330a03664bfef8670a63981465e610e - https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/commit/d3bd1049c326f3bcf6be4c7e17...

Hi Prl, That's a long-standing issue in the Graphical EPGs, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same bug in the Infobar Graphical EPG. Bug #291: Graphical EPG - first navigation after page up or page down leaves incorrect highlight I think the actual bug is that the code draws TWO highlight boxes ...

IanSav

Hi MrQuade,

I believe that a large number of issues with the EPGs, including cell highlighting issues and navigation speed problems have been recently fixed in OpenViX. If there are any more upstream merges then this should be addressed.

Ian.

Hi Prl,

A better solution for channel numbering would be for you to bring your LCN improvements into a beta or production build.
