Should I have to reboot every morning ?

[moulee2009]

I'm just getting to grips with my DM800 clone having moved on from an openbox but I have a question.

Should I have to reboot my box every morning. I'm using the latest oozoon image as I like it , I have tried several others and this is the one which suits my use. I have mgcamd installed and working fine. When I finish watching at night I press standby on the remote. First thing in the morning I have no access to sly channels so I restart the box and it works great for the rest of the day until morning , surely something isn't right ? Any suggestions ?

I've been using the openpli image for about a month now and I leave my box on 24/7 and don't need to regularly reboot let alone reboot every morning. I'm also running mgcamd.

I reboot my box only when I upload new Bouquets, Shouldn't need too but gives me peace of mind that it gets restarted every once in a while

It's the mgcamd going into standby, press the blue button and restart mgcamd instead of rebooting and waiting a while.

Let me know if this helps.

I'm not quite sure, hopefully someone will come along and answer this question for us. In the mean time just restarting the mgcamd works.

Do you also have the same issue ?

Ive just looked at the mgcamd script , i think something needs editing here but not sure ?

#!/bin/sh
CAM="mgcamd_1.35a"
OSD="MGcamd 1.35a"
PID=`pidof $CAM`
Action=$1
cam_clean () {
rm -rf /tmp/*.info* /tmp/*.tmp*
}
cam_handle () {
if test -z "${PID}" ; then
cam_up;
else
cam_down;
fi;
}
cam_down () {
killall $CAM
sleep 2
cam_clean
}
cam_up () {
/usr/bin/cam/$CAM &
}
if test "$Action" = "cam_res" ; then
cam_down
cam_up
elif test "$Action" = "cam_down" ; then
cam_down
elif test "$Action" = "cam_up" ; then
cam_up
else
cam_handle
fi
exit 0

Yes, I had the technomate 500s before, just got my dm800hd couple days ago, haven't fully used it yet to see if it happens on the dm800hd, used to happen on my technomate when I put it in standby.

Ive fixed it . On the image im using go in to user scripts , choose cam and then autostart . It worked for me as it didn't need to be restarted this morning
