Regarding the latest commando 10 images

[Diddy]

Hi there, I have the strangest problem with commando 10 x (x=A,B,C or D)
The problem is if im using the 7day epg - set for ex TW scotland then when the box comes out of sleep the emu freezes. Basically the box needs restarting if i wanted say evocam to "work". Obv after a restart i loose my 7 days and my epg is short and limited.
The image works fine using standard EPG. Never have the same issue.
This is/has been the case for all the recent commando 10 images. like i say they work fine when in 15 hour epg mode......but I would like my 7 day to work .
worth mentioning that when i do the 7 day epg thing (Ie switch to pvr channel ect) I DO get a near perfect 7 day epg with a few exceptions being BBC 1 seems to go eg - Sunday (full EPG) Monday Full Tuesday a few hours with big gaps - wed few hours missing thursday full friday full sat full - It does this on a "few" channels but mostly it does deliver on the 7 days.

Just repoting my findings after many months with Commando 10 x on my Sagem 1x.

As we've discussed elsewhere, yours is the reverse of everyone else's issue, where the cam dies when in standard EPG mode, not 7 Day mode. Anyway, try this and see if it does the trick:

A mini brainwave and a bit more testing, and I've found a fix. OK, a dirty fix- but it WORKS!

Here's now what happens as we enter Standby Mode with standby.on:

 
#!/bin/sh
pzapit -gi | cut -d " " -f1 > /tmp/.zapbackto
pzapit -n "BBC ONE"
sleep 2
pzapit -n PVR_EPG 
exit 0

Notice that we now switch to an FTA channel (by name, so it should work in all areas) after 'remembering' the current-viewed channel, and before switching to the PVR_EPG channel.

When we wake up the box (standby.off executes), we now do this:

 
#!/bin/sh
pzapit -n "BBC ONE"
sleep 1
pzapit -zi `cat /tmp/.zapbackto`
exit 0

Again, we switch to the unencrypted BBC ONE channel, before zapping back to our original 'remembered' channel.

Don't ask me why, but the softcam is now 100% happy after wakey wakey, and in std EPG mode, we are able to pull in up to 4 Days EPG, depending on how many 'Now 'n Next' channels you have populated old_epgfilter.xml with.

Even though this wasn't an issue if using 7 Day EPG Mode, these new standby files, which live in /var/tuxbox/config/ and need to stay chmod 755 after you've overwritten old with new, will not affect the operation of 7 Day EPG mode.

Cheers- AL
