View Full Version : ## New Commando 10c image.. back to JFFS2##

Continuing with the continuos, Commando update n tweak
Commando 10c
==========================================
Bugs fixed:
No scrolling in Bouquet Editor (CVS bug, now fixed)
NFS bug (missing file- should now be OK)
What's New?
7 Day EPG v3
With the valued assistance of FreddyFrog, we've given the EPG a major make-over, including:
+ A new Blue button menu for 7 Day EPG
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1832&stc=1&d=1229856405
+ Option to change the default 'standard' sectionsd EPG to 7 Day EPG for YOUR provider!
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1833&stc=1&d=1229856405
+ dbox automatically switches to the PVR_EPG channel in Standby Mode - to pull in the extended 7 days epg. When you wake the box up, it switches back to the previously viewed channel.
+ Simplified daily Timers
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1834&stc=1&d=1229856405
You can easily edit these times up or down in hourly increments, to suit your daily routine. The channel you wake up to is entirely dependant on your preferred settings in Settings > Misc > Zapit Config -ie:
Save last Channel = true (you'll wake up to RH 40+ Wives, LOL!)
Save last Channel = false
Start TV Channel on = (whatever channel you select)
Even if you are running with sectionsd in 'standard' mode, (which usually gives a maximum of 15 hours epg across all channels), you'll find these daily timers will now give you 3 to 4 Days EPG!! Also, users who prefer this mode can still restrict selected channels to Now 'n Next epg only, by populating the old_epgfilter.xml file in accordance with the simple instructions in the header text of that file.
When switching from standard to 7 Day (for ntl, ex-C&W, or TW)- or vice versa, a reboot is required so the new epgfilter data is read into memory. A pop-up message will ask you if you want to do this.
Experienced 7 Day EPG users can edit 'their' filter file (ntl, C&W, TW) - as whichever one has been selected is now SymLinked 'as' epgfilter.xml
'Your' filter contains the channels you do want long EPG for.
Summary: A famous politician once said "You can't please all the people all the time". Well, Team-Commando and FreddyFrog have done their utmost to prove that theory wrong, at least in the EPG department!
Credits:
FreddyFrog - for sectionsd dual mode.
Tyke- for his exC&W filter
Derekwd- for his TW filter
Renwich- for creating the image
AL- for his ntl filter, and scripting all this new 7 Day stuff

I'm using the first release of this ver 10 so I am now flashing the ver 10c now will comment on this shortley when box is backup and running.
I did notice the EPG was always stopping and I was having to restart the EPG so will see if this is better now.

I have now flashed my box and it works great. All features work great and is nice and quick in the menus. Scrolling through the menus are also ok. Picture is of high grade for a Dbox2. If I was to bring anything up it would be the ethernet option been set to off. In future releases it would be good if this was put to on instead of off other than this GREAT work Respect to you guys..!

Que? What 'Ethernet' option, m8? AL :santaclaus:

Thanks to all the team for their work on the update - it's not often one can see such quick turn around on updates.
I installed the new image and noticed that while the EPG 7 day feature works with 'Eventlist current program' it doesn't with 'Eventlist overview' which to be honest is what I've always been using.
On another note I noticed that the only uCode that seems to work with recording to HDD is the 'uCode Built-in', the uCode0014 and uCode001A both cause image and sync problems.
I noticed that the 'Unsorted' Bouquet has re-appeared - and worked out why I was unable to see any radio stations previously..which isn't a problem anylonger
(for those still on version 10b - the list of radio programs need to belong to a bouquet for you to be able to see them - by default the channels on my box were 'unsorted' and this was not visible in v10b, but I was able to get around this be a complete re-scan and offline edit of the bouquets to add the channels to a new bouquet)
If I discover any other issues I'll let you know..
Cheers again;)

This looks great but can some tell me what files I need in the Keys, Emu, Zapit folders. I have tried everything but I still only get FTA channels. How are others getting this to work. Don't seem to be able to resolve this. I have re-imaged a number of times. Change location etc but still no good. Wife is about to divorce me over this box. Nokia Dbox2

You dont know what your missing m8, got it on my box running sweet, with the option for 7 days epg for those that want it and the normal 15 ish hours for those that dont and can even get 3 to 4 days epg with a bit of tweaking in standard mode as explained by Al.
Its the first image to offer these options, Who needs the radio times lol

I shouldn't have spoken so soon..the 'uCode Built-in' is still causing sync problems although not as bad as the other uCode settings.
In the end I needed to activate 'Write Synchronous (fdatasync) to avoid the problem - unfortunately this also results in much more HDD activity and thus noise too, which is a bit off putting during more quiet moments.
I'm going to try to reflash with an earlier image to double check the Direct Recording Settings to see whether there were any differences.
Renwich - which version of NFS is installed in the image? In the Help option in 'Recording Settings' it says NFS v2 is limited to 2Gb files, whereas v3 is unlimited..I just wanted to make sure I have the right setting. Also could this version of NFS be likely to be causing sync read/write problems - can you advise which files I could replace from an earlier 'good' image to test if this is the problem?

Have you added the required files to the image, ie. keys and emu

Hi lads nice work on the image,
Just wanted to ask a question.
On the latest sportster pro i used has a feature, were it automatically detects new channels and changes on my provider, and pops them in a Bouquet called 'Andere' or something.
Anyway of doing it on this commando.
Cheers.
Renwich

in UK images, this is autoscan, switch it on in the service scan menu, then it will find new channels and put them in either unsorted or new channels

if u got a ftp connection the easiest way is in flashfxp right click on the file and u will see a command - Attributes (CHMOD) - click on this and a box will open with the a number at the bottom - prob 644 - change this to 755
if u haven't got a ftp connection then u can use tuxbox commander - navigate to the file u want to change - when the file is highlighted press 1 (rights) and make sure the 3 boxes for read / write / execute are all green by clicking on each of the commands to change - then click ok and save changes.

it is not true that Commando is for advanced users.
it is true that you have to copy 9 files acrcoss via ftp
(hint 8 files to the keys folder)
(hint evocamd to /var/bin/emu)
1 file needs to be chmod 755
ps the "I'm only a woman" statement is not an excuse, blokes have the same issues
PaphosAL
29th December, 2008, 12:54 PM
If you're running evocamd only- then just 5 files need to go into the /var/keys folder.
Autoupdate.Key
camd_cfg
nagraepr7.bin
nagraram7.bin
nagrarom7.bin (Cydine's 28 Nov 'fixed' ver)
And that's it! No chmod stuff needed in there at all.
evocamd itself needs to be chmod 755 via FTP (or locally, using TuxCom)- otherwise it won't work. (755 makes it 'executable' - whereas the default 644 cannot execute). When evocamd AU's - it creates a new Keylist.txt file in the /keys folder.
I wonder what the other 3 files are that Renny is using? Cheers- AL :)

I have switched it on, rebooted and left on standby for 5mins atleast then switched back on but alas no 7 dy EPG. I have never used a 7 day EPG before. It will most probably be something simple I am missing out so any help will be appreciated. :-)

You dont leave it on standby m8 you have to go to PVR_EPG channel for 5 min or so to get the 7 days.
Best to do as al suggested in the rite up and set up timers to do this for you when you are in the land of nod lol

If you're running Commando 10c, then going into Standby does automatically switch the channel to PVR_EPG while the box is asleep. Then it switches back to your previously-viewed channel when you wake it up!
C10c is also set to the standard 15 hrs EPG for all channels by default. A spell in Standby will stretch this to 4 Days max.
To switch to 7 Day EPG, you need to use the new Blue button menu: Set my area for 7 Day EPG
You tell it whether you're in pure ntl, TW, or exC&W and bingo! Away you go.
Check out the Daily Timers with Blue > Yellow. This does it all automatically for you each night, while you're counting sheep. With this new Timer setup, you can even save power by putting the box into Shutdown mode before you go to bed!
None of this will function if you insist on unplugging the box from the power each night...
Cheers- AL :)

Has anyone managed to get VLC working over their intranet? I don't seem to get any audio, and am using VLC 0.8.5 +patch..
Thanks in advance
Does anyone use VLC and managed to get it working on this image? I haven't had any takers..Could this be a bug?

Yes, I have it running oK, use 0.8.6i with
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http --sout-transcode-fps 25
in the target.
You haven't forgot to start vlc on your pc first have you, easy mistake !

Thanks for the work that went into this image everyone.
Working 90% ok, just a few issues/bugs:
The nightly timers cause the picture to go blank when I switch on in the morning. It is on PVR_EPG and not the last channel I watched and even if I change channel they are blank until I re-boot.
The LCD EPG does not update, even if left for hours on 1 channel. Update time with sectionsd is 30min but still not updating.
No Upnp browser (really miss this, any ideas how to install again).
Audio settings for NAR or English are not saved if I change channels and back again or after a re-boot.
Can't shut-down using remote (holding the power button for a few seconds normally shuts-down but not with this image, it will only go to stand-by).
Boot time takes a while compared to other new images.
7 day EPG is slow to scroll through. Can you browse by day, or jump 24hrs forward? Still checking in 7 day EPG is correct for my area.
yWeb mostly in German.
Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.
Streaming to dBox works fine (for audio, pictures and TS files), jumpy playback for other files via VLC 0.9.8a (may be VLC issue).
Overall a good image. Thanks.
Do you have any fixes for the bugs above?

Press Blue then Yellow and study the 3 Daily Timers. Clearly, the no.2 'Wake-up' Channel timer isn't correct for you, as you reside in TW or exC&W, don't you? So Delete this Timer, then make a fresh Daily Zapto Timer choosing 'your' preferred Channel to show, when you wake the box up from Standby in the morning!
You can even put the box into your beloved Shutdown Mode before you go to bed- and this little lot will still work...
The LCD EPG does not update, even if left for hours on 1 channel. Update time with sectionsd is 30min but still not updating.
By default, sectionsd is in the standard nationwide 15 hour EPG mode. Are you running C10c, or an earlier version? Because going into Standby should zapto PVR_EPG by name - so this should be kosher for all three regions, IF the PVR_EPG channel is in your services.xml file.
A few minutes in PVR_EPG (or in Standby) should increase the standard EPG to 4 Days! See the C10c release notes (does anyone ever read these?) for more info on getting 7 Days EPG up and running, by selecting your Area in the new Blue > Blue > Yellow EPG Menu...
No Upnp browser (really miss this, any ideas how to install again).
Grab it out of an older image that has it, and transplant it. The effort has been concentrated on getting IDE-HDD up and running properly, including XFS. I'm sure if you search pt-1's posts on UnLockers- you'll find all the info on UpNp as a BOT.
Audio settings for NAR or English are not saved after a re-boot or even if I change channels and back again.
So what is var/tuxbox/config/zapit/audio.pid doing? Yes, it looks like this file is renewed each boot, but I'm pretty sure the AD settings on a per-channel basis ARE being remembered for the next session. I'll test this further- but if I'm wrong (not for the first time, and certainly not the last, LOL!)- it's a CVS issue, not unique to C10c...
Can't shut-down using remote (holding the power button for a few seconds normally shuts-down but not with this image, it will only go to stand-by).
Go Settings > Misc > Key repeat-blocker > Delayed Shutdown on and Restart Neutrino, if pressing dbox then (') Power button is too much effort for you.
Boot time takes a while compared to other new images.
Startup Animation? Startup Sound? Commando must-haves, but these undoubtedly add to boot time. Try with them switched off in Driver/Boot Settings.
7 day EPG is slow to scroll through. Can you browse by day, or jump 24hrs forward? Still checking in 7 day EPG is correct for my area.
Have you tried the Vol + / - keys, to Page Up and Down?? Jeez...
yWeb mostly in German.
Maybe coz yJogol is German? But most of it is bi-lingual. Trouble is, when we spend a week making it all 100% English, (as I and others did for C9), he goes and brings out another update, LOL! Nothing stopping you from stripping all the German out of his .yhtm files and making it sensible English. Then sharing this with Renny, Gav, Lincsat ?t al... But there's a few lingering words in nhttpd that might have you stumped- Hex Editor time! (If you can uncompress it...)
Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.
Don't use this, so guessing. Use uCode 0014? SPTS Mode?
Streaming to dBox works fine (for audio, pictures and TS files), jumpy playback for other files via VLC 0.9.8a (may be VLC issue).
What 'other' files?
Rounded corners does not apply to the Commando System Menu (always square).
If you care to re-code shellexec, you might get your rounded corners. Meantime, be thankful that the latest Shellexec at least mimics the colours in your chosen Neutrino Theme - even down to 3D Color buttons!
Can't create a backup with yWeb, when I try to open it with TuxFlash I get an error (empty image, something in German). Laky-Sylas worked ok to back-up this way and used the same version of yWeb.
Utter bollox! Did we forget to click on box 3 for Flash w/o Bootloader before pressing Download button?? Just worked perfectly for me, LOL!
Overall a good image. Thanks.
Do you have any fixes for the bugs above?
What bugs??
One more thing is the image branding!!
Are UkCvs a sponsor of Commando? Text on Boot LCD Logo, boot screen, start-up picture and in menus, plus all the Commando logos. I am in favour of giving credit to the creators and developers but this is a bit too much.
This 'branding' burned into the heart of the image is a peccadillo of the image creator, who is trying to prevent the low-life out there from re-branding his creation, then passing it off as their own work.
It also spreads the good word UkCvs.org around the rest of the boards that decide to host THE Image of 2008. In particular- http://world-of-digital.com (http://world-of-digital.com/) who we all believed to be close friends and allies, but in fact prefer to censor any mention of our URL to www.*****.org (http://www.*****.org/)
There, sorry it's a bit too much for you, but you'll find the same sort of UkCvs branding in SS-Enigma 4.0 too.
I wonder how long it takes for the spies to pull Commando 10c and SS-Enigma 4.0 from their site, pmsl...
Cheers- AL :)

Oh, and now we know that you're actually talking about the original C10 image, and NOT the Commando 10c image that this thread relates to- perhaps you'd like to start afresh, from post #1 in this thread, m8?
Cheers- AL :)

Sorry but it is Commando 10c I am using, unless there was a problem with the server and I got C10 instead! It is from 20/12/08
Can't get 7 day EPG working so switching back to standard settings. I also get FTA only after switching to PVR_EPG channel for 5 mins.

I thought 7 day EPG wasn't working either - but discovered it doesn't work in the advanced EPG window, but only on the 'current' channel

Thanks - I'll try some further tests to see if I can work out why I don't get any audio streaming (it is running on the PC, and I can stream the video but not audio)

Streaming and control from yWeb works 50%, still the issues with no picture or sound or both on "some" channels.
The lack of picture is almost certainly a network lag problem..
However, I have found that I don't get any audio from either the secondary stream or the NAR stream.
As on some channels the primary stream is NAR, there's no audio.
Can anyone advise if there's a way to get Commando to always default the 'English' audio stream to the primary channel - I thinks this would solve the audio streaming problems with yWeb? ;)
I suspect that the NAR isn't being streamed through yWeb, and although you can select either stream, it only works with the primary (so long as it's not NAR of course)
I did some looking around and saw some v.old posts where earlier versions of VLC needed some special code handles (is that what they're called??) to decode dual audio streams..so wonder if something is up with VLC and it doesn't decode 'non-standard' streams?

Ive been using my DBox for at least 5 years now, and the images just keep getting better an better. Not sure why this image is taking stick because its superb. I did notice a couple of bugs in the first release but these have been addressed and were not major problems anyway. Its no more difficult to set up than any other image, and the 7 day epg is superb. I remember the days when setting up an image included making your own cables.xml file before you could get any channels, dowloading your own locale language file and english clock for the LCD, gettin your own emus and roms and had no IFA for easy flashing. We are so lucky to have these images made for us and all it takes is 5 minutes work to set up, and that is thanks to the hours and days and weeks of work the devs put into this. To be honest, they have put so much work into making UK compatable images that it has made us all lazy, there is no work involved for us at all now in setting these up.

You could always contact the Samaritans if you're feeling sad, depressed and suicidal.
Maybe a holiday will cheer you up? I'm sure Admin will be arranging a long period of rest for you soon. You need it, posting flame like that...

Thumbs up.
Was using the original commando 10 and was struggling with the epg (box is only used occasionally so didn't want to leave it plugged in on timers etc).
Very smooth and working well.
Easily set up if people bother to read the FAQ's/threads that others have been nice enough to put together and answer several times before!!
