    Default How to debug CrossEPG issues and get it working on OpenPLi 4

    This is a guide to help you guys who are struggling to get CrossEPG working on OpenPLi 4. I've reinstalled and configured the same image many times and I've gotten CrossEPG working everytime, below i'll show you how.

    Install libcurl4 - This should fix all the issues

    It's actually just 1 library thats missing `libcurl4`, install it using:

    Code:
    opkg install libcurl4
    You may need to reboot (although I don't think it's necessary).

    Go back to CrossEPG, make sure it's set to write to your HDD or USB, select Sky UK from the providers list and hit Download.. tada!

    Still not working?
    If it's still not working you'll have to do some debugging (It's actually quite easy), run the following command through telnet.

    Code:
    init 4; sleep 4; enigma2;
    This will reboot your dreambox and you'll see all the debugging output logged to your console. Go back and try the CrossEPG download, when it fails keep an eye on the logging info and see what it says.

    This was how I debugged the `libcurl4` issue!

    Hopefully this helps all you guys having issues with CrossEPG, not sure about other images but this 100% works on OpenPLi 4.

    The debugging technique should aid you in tracking down any issues your having (relating to CrossEPG or anything else - It's extremely useful to see all the debugging when something goes wrong).

    Yeah sure, find it the crossepg and libcurl4 attached below:

    enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-crossepg_0.8.1-r0_mipsel_openpli4.ipk.zip
    libcurl4_7.40.0-r0.0_mips32el.ipk.zip

    You can install it by unzipping & copying to your usb, traversing to your usb on your dreambox via telnet and then installing it using:

    Code:
    opkg install libcurl4_7.40.0-r0.0_mips32el.ipk
    opkg install enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-crossepg_0.8.1-r0_mipsel_openpli4.ipk
    Reboot/Restart Enigma2

    Then simply setup crossepg on your TV (make sure it writes to a USB or Hard Drive), Select SKY UK 28.2 (It should have a tick), save your settings, hit download, and everything should work, If not you'll have to try and debug it yourself using the commands in my above post.

    Hope this helps!

    * libgmp10 (>= 6.0.0) * libgnutls28 (>= 3.3.12) * libc6 (>= 2.20) *
    * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libcurl4.
    launching curl from command line:

    To telnet your box, you're sending telnet commands from your PC to your Sat box, you can use the command prompt on a Windows PC or install a program called putty. Run putty and enter your Sat box's IP address + username & password then enter the telnet commands provided by weedman

    @slots, try deleting all the files in your crossepg folder and the EPG.dat on your USB drive. Then manually select crossepg to download.
