Guide to install Crossepg with Gemini enigma2 images - 7 day Sky EPG

[Sicilian]

This guide is based on a Satellite Enigma2 Dreambox with latest Gemini image installed.
Dreambox must have a HDD installed although a DM7025 can be set to use a CF card for the epg.

1. Transfer crossepg-enigma2_0.3.2-svn-33_mipsel.ipk to /tmp/
2. Using blue panel file manager navigate to /tmp/, then highlight crossepg-enigma2_0.3.2-svn-33_mipsel.ipk and press green button to install.
3. Using you favourite ftp program navigate to /usr/bin/ and transfer enigma2.sh to your desktop.
4. Now again using your favourite ftp program navigate to /usr/crossepg/ and copy crossepg_epgmove.sh to you desktop.
5. Using a unix compatible editor such as crimson editor attached edit enigma2.sh as follows: -

Under #Scripte copy this line /usr/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh start

So it should be something like this: -


#Scripte
/usr/script/syslogd_script.sh restart
[ ! -e /proc/fs/nfsd/exports ] && /usr/script/nfs_server_script.sh start
/usr/script/inadyn_script.sh start
/usr/script/httpd_script.sh start
/usr/script/djmount_script.sh start
/usr/script/ushare_script.sh start
/usr/script/crond_script.sh restart
/usr/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh start

6. Again using a unix compatible editor edit crossepg_epgmove.sh, edit the paths to suit your image, but with Gemini images it should look like this: -


#!/bin/sh
HOME=`echo $0 | sed "s/crossepg_epgmove\.sh//"`

if [ -f "$HOME/crossepg.config" ] # if configuration exist
then
DBROOT=`cat $HOME/crossepg.config | grep db_root= | sed "s/db_root=//"`
else # else default path
DBROOT="/media/hda1/crossepg"
fi

if [ -f "$DBROOT/ext.epg.dat" ] # try on configuration path
then
echo copying ext.epg.dat from $DBROOT
$HOME/crossepg_epgcopy "$DBROOT/ext.epg.dat" /media/hda1/gemini.epg.dat
elif [ -f "/media/hda1/crossepg/ext.epg.dat" ] # if we have a bad path try with default path
then
echo copying gemini.epg.dat from /media/hda1/crossepg/
$HOME/crossepg_epgcopy /media/hda1/crossepg/ext.epg.dat /media/hda1/gemini.epg.dat
else # no epg found
echo ext.epg.dat not found
fi

7. Ftp your edited engima2.sh from your desktop back to /usr/bin/
8. Ftp your edited crossepg_epgmove.sh from your desktop back to /usr/crossepg/
8. Reboot your dreambox.
9. Once rebooted goto Menu and you will now see Crossepg in Setup, so press Menu>Setup>Crossepg and adjust settings to suit. You can set to update daily & use CF card for epg if installed.
10. Press Green button for plugins, select Crossepg. Dreambox will now switch to hiphop music channel and update, then automatically switch back to tv channel once updated. At the end of the process the dreambox will reboot.
11. Enjoy 7 days worth of EPG :)

Tools Crimson editor and Crossepg attached.

@ Mods feel free to make this a sticky :) This is a hell of a lot easier to setup & run than E2_loadepg.

im using blackhole v11 at the mo but would love to try gemini again

Have you followed the instructions to the letter?

Once installed did you press menu > setup > crossepg & configure it?

[dctyper]

according to their website it supports cable. do i use the same instructions here?

I dont think its supports cable uk.

[dctyper]

has anyone tried cus it does say so. mmmmm im just not that confident when it comes to writing code

[on_the_jazz]

Tried this on my DM800. Got to the reboot stage but it never rebooted. Kept trying and eventually had to reflash :(

[contemptx]

Very Strange, same happened here with gemini 4.50

[deankanonik]

ive got this working fine and epgs all listed for 7 days. I do however see that it DOES NOT reboot once the script is run. Any idea why? Without the reboot the epg doesnt update so i would have to manually reboot to get it to update each day. Is there a fix for this?

What image are you using? I noticed the same thing on the latest Gemini image. I then went back to an older image and it re-booted ok.

[deankanonik]

I use the latest gemini (4.6)!!

[msher]

There is nothing happens after running plugin. Progressive bar in right low corner and dream doesn't reboot after plugin complete. After manual reboot only current and next programm in EPG. Any suggestions?

Ok so I fixed the script so now it downloads the EPG for Sky UK to my harddrive. It works fine. I am missing about half the channels epg.

This is on Gemini 4.7 clone DM800

I will provide the result once I have it all working correctly. I need the following;

1. a complete 28.2 lamedb - a very recent one please
2. I need the latest bskybsat-channel_list.conf also please.

The whole process takes about 1.5 hrs to get the full EPG.

I have only configured this for an internal HD but there is just a few path changes if its for elsewhere.

[targettarget]

basically this is how to do it.

Trumpton Blog - LTImage Installation on the Dreambox (http://blog.trumpton.org.uk/2009/06/ltimage-installation-on-dreambox.html)

just make sure all your paths in the config file and the files here point to the correct place and hda1 if internal hard drive for example.

[targettarget]

the reason why your box won't reboot is that you edit the file and ftp it back.

I had to use vi to edit the file on the unit. the enigma2.sh file

to open
vi enigma2.sh
to insert
i
type in what you need
to stop editing
esc
to save and quit type
:wq

7. Ftp your edited engima2.sh from your desktop back to /usr/bin/

i am using a onboard sata drive

is this text right DBROOT="/media/hda1/crossepg"
fi

[dimon254]

It works with 13E. When it tries to get epg from 28.2E, the picture just dissapears and I see window "starting downloader"... And thats all. It can't switch to a valid 28,2 channel I suppose...
Anyone can help with solution?


Ok so I fixed the script so now it downloads the EPG for Sky UK to my harddrive. It works fine. I am missing about half the channels epg.

[trampa]

[JaseGW]

Does this work on Gemini 5.1 on DM800 ??

[thekid1970]

I'm trying to get this working on a DM7025 running Gemini 2 (v4.70). I'd appreciate it if there was anybody else out there with a similar setup that might be willing to answer questions or otherwise help me to get this working.
