Default Info: Dreambox Services and Bouquets

Services and Bouquets

When you do a transponder scan on your dreambox, automatic or manual, a services file is automatically generated with the frequencies and services ids of all the channels found. If you have successfully done a services scan and found all the channels, there's no need to copy over additional services files.

So you've managed to get all your channels and set up your bouquets just the way you want them. The first thing you want to do is back them up to your PC for safe keeping. If you need to flash the image again, for whatever reason, it's always good to have the services and bouquets backed up, then you simply copy the files to the box instead of setting them up from scratch again. Neutrino and Enigma are different in the way they store the services and bouquets.

Enigma

With enigma images, the services file doesn't have an extention and is stored in the following location:

services - /var/tuxbox/config/enigma

With enigma, each bouquet you create has it's own userbouquet file. These files are stored in:

userbouquet.*****.tv - /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/cable

There's also a file called bouquets (without extention) in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma that you want to backup as well.

So when you're backing them up to your PC you want to copy the 'services' and 'bouquets' files from ../enigma and all the 'userbouquet' files from ../enigma/cable folder.

Once you've copied them back to your dreambox, use the browser reload commands below. They won't take effect unless they are reloaded.
Some images may have a 'ReloadChannels' option, usually in the BLUE button menu or User Features menu, this can also be used to reload the channels.

Neutrino

With neutrino images, the file system is more like the dbox2.

services.xml - /var/tuxbox/config/zapit
ubouquets.xml - /var/tuxbox/config/zapit

All your bouquets are stored in the ubouquet.xml file instead of an individual file in enigma.

Same as above, you will need to reload the channels before they will take effect. On neutrino images, there's usually an option in the Services Menu to reload channels.

Reloading Services and Bouquets after transferring (using Enigma/Gemini)

Once you have transfered your backed up services and bouquets to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma, follow these instructions.

To reload services...

Open web browser and paste the following command into the address bar:

http://192.168.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/reloadSettings

(replace x with your own ip address)

To reload bouquets...

Open web browser and paste the following command into the address bar:

http://192.168.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/reloadUserBouquets

If you're using the Digital Kaos image, you can also reload the channels using the 'ReloadChannels' option in the User Features menu.

Agreed, well done.

Was wondering how to reload settings without physically getting onto the box.

Cheers again.

Excellent Devilfish, as usual!
I have a query.
I just flashed a new image and run a scan of all the channels. They are not organised yet in bouquets.
I found online services and bouquets files for my local area (Cheltenham) and would like to use these.
Do i need to remove the ones currently on my 500c first?
I also found more recent "services xml" files for my area on DK. Better to use these or am I getting confused (not difficult)?
Cheers

If you have obtained a set of services and bouquets, put them on the box first and reload the channels (you can also reload channels by doing a 'restart enigma' from the shutdown menu). Now you have bouquets that are assigned to your services.

Now do a fresh scan and it will add any channels you don't have to the current services file. These new channels will be in the 'All Services' menu and you can add them to bouquets if you want.

Hi Devilfish
I followed your excellent guide to the letter but, after ftp'ing the services and bouquets files for my local area (and reloading services and user bouquets), nothing appears to have changed in the box
Any idea?

dreamboxedit is also useful way to backup and edit your services and bouquets plus it lets you reload by clicking a button.

Thanks alliv. Yes I did restart the box.
Hi rajid187: I will try dreamboxedit.
I just don't understand why it shouldn't work with the above.
