crossepg problem dm800

[yogzy]

hi guys me again

i used to use cross epg and download manually everyday a 7day guide from opentv 28.2 which worked great. ( pressed yellow to download )

i have reflashed the image and installed a harddrive to the dm800 and would like the epg to automatically download for me a 7day epg when in standby.

when i go to the crossepg setup options i have " harddisk/harddrive" " toshiba gs.....( my harddrive model number ) " " flash ( not recommended ) " to choose from

do i select the option " harddrive " or " toshiba gs... " as i am confused why i have both options?

also it mentions that it downloads once every hour. does this happen on the hour or at random intervals?
cause when i downloaded it manually i couldnt watch a program at the same time.

hope u can answer my questions as im strugging

thanks

The app sees the HDD itself and the mounted folder, I use the one labelled Harddrive. There is no need to download every hour, just set that for once a day and do it overnight.

pop goes the weasel!

I just answered this here:.. http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...5/#post1452559
But for the sakes of SEO....

You want crossEPG & OpenTV. forgot this rytec boll*cks. (I had issues with this, others swear by it, try em both for yourself)

What is OpenTV?
OpenTV allows you to receive the EPG guide from your satellite, (Its the exact same data Sky use for their EPG, so you can be sure its 100% up to date, all the time). This is better, because it is always updated by sky (who better to provide the data?). And also you will never have any problems, I have been using this since I got my box, and it's never failed on me, and never will...! (Because then it will probably fail for all the sky customers as well!!).


How To install TSPanel & CrossEPG with OpenTV.
1. Install TSPanel on your image (I have attached it for your convenience, You will need to update to the latest version after installation, Remember to unzip it!).
- Copy the *.ipk to your /tmp folder, and install using the menus on your box.

2. Restart your GUI, go to menu > TSPanel. Press `yellow` button to update to the latest version. (Restart your box).

3. Go to TSPanel > Addons > TunisaSat Dreambox Addons
- Navigate to `Plugins-EPG`
- Install Crossepg_0.6.2+git.......
- Reboot your box.

4. Go to `Menu` > CrossEPG.
- Configure the first menu (Hard drive, etc..., I forget exactly what else, figure it out, Set the `reboot after download` to `YES` [or whatever it says]).

5. After configuration, you will see a list of `providers`. Select OpenTV providers,
- Select Sky UK OpenTV (Astra on 28.2), hit `enable` (Green button), then `Download` (Yellow button).
- This will download the latest OpenTV data to your box hdd, or USB. (Depending on setup).

6. After a GUI reboot (GUI ONLY, a full reboot, requires you to download the EPG again). Your EPG should be up and running.

Oh No!.. I rebooted my box by accident!
Don't Panic or start crying, do this....!!
- Go to `Menu` > `Plugins` > `CrossEPG Downloader`.
- Wait a minute (DM 800 SE) or two (DM 800 HD), and... tada!l!..

.. Now... Finally.. Go wrap me a joint...

[Nav2010]

thanks for the reply guys, iv ftp the ipk to my tmp folder but am usein openpli and cant figure out how to install it any ideas??

[smirnoff_rules]

dont use that but there must be a menu to download plugins ,, , press green button ,, and dont start any more threads m8 ,, its makes things hard

[weedman]

Found this on another forum, so i'll post it here:
(I dont use OpenPLI yet, so can't guarantee this will work with your version)

1. Main menu > Plugins
2. Green button to download plugins
3. Extensions
4. Find and install "Filebrowser"
After installation filebrowser will appear in your main menu.

Why do say that? I have used OpenPLi images for ages and use the builtin xmltv rytec and have never had any problems.
