Please help regards updating channel list using PcEditor V1.2.46beta12 by jondoe
I CANNOT UPDATE CHANNELS
I can download via ftp but cannot update via usb or ftp
Im not sure if its my pc that?s at fault or me !.
I Cannot send any channels back to ipbox
Here?s whats happening:
Pc usb connected to ipbox via USB to B (printer cable)cable
Pc to Netgear Router wireless
Netgear Router to ipbox via Ethernet cable
PcEditor/options/settings/receiver = ipbox ip-ad 192.168.0.4
Ftp u/n root / ftp p/w relook web u/n relook web p/w relook
USB database download-local directory 192.168.0.4 ?start = usb is not connected try again
Please note I have previously installed and updated image using flashtools vers 102 and yes installed USB driver
Ftp database download ?ipbox?-local directory -192.168.0.4-start = DOWNLOADS CHANNEL?S
Using FTP is ok to download Channels from ipbox !
Then I save file as db5 on desktop

Now when trying to upload via either USB or FTP I am getting the
ERROR
Ftp database upload (ipbox9000)
Upload from file
Locate and select db5 on desktop
Start = if you upload this db file, existing db will be deleted do you want to continue ?-YES
Upload progress stays empty and then after 2 minutes says error
Saying error saving database - ok
Then again error saving database ? ok
I have tried turning off and back on ipbox as if booting and still the same errors
The usb is not recognised at all and the ftp only downloads and not uploads

I should be able to send new db5 file to ipbox via pceditor YES ?
If not
Using such as flash fxp where would I drop db5 file ? and into which folder on ipbox ?

Hope you make sense of this, thanks jud

If you want to use flashfxp, ftp the db.dat to your box in /var
and name file: db.dat.edited

and reboot for changes to take effect

[jud1255]

thanks yes i will do that.
i just had a look in var folder,via core ftp
there is already several files in the var folder eg hotbird eutelsat intelsat etc .
do i delete all these files first.
I have never installed channel list , i have got channels and sats by searching on ipbox menu service searching etc.
I have dowloaded channels via pceditor , edited channels eg itv hd for sound and saved file on desktop db.dat.edited
do i now drop /drag this db.dat.edited to var folder will it remove previous files automatically.
thanks jud

Hiya

As a suggestion have you checked all the connections on the cuberevo/ipbox as sometimes my cat 5 cable becomes loose at the back & has to be pushed in firmly

Also try using DCC v2.95 (the Dreambox FTP file) to connect to your box as it will show up if its not connecting, or passwords wrong etc

on pceditor the software can be a bit tempermental (i know its only beta) & when i select FTP upload database cuberevo, tick upload database from file, file & select which one (again ive always used a complete file (@otheitis42E-30W) ive edited not a dat.bak one) open & start

Then message of rewriting etc & rebooting box for new settings to load etc -takes approx 10 secs

Dont forget factory reset will wipe all your old channel settings otherwise your box may run slow!

thanks cat5 is ok ftp is ok,
i was originally trying to upload via pceditor , but no longer .
now i am uploading using core ftp this is working.
i now need to know
which files in var folder to delete before sending new db.dat.edited to var folder
thanks jud

ERR 79
Oops, I deleted some sat files in var folder via Core Ftp, now I got the ERR 79 message on boot up.
Does this mean I now have to re-flash with latest image eg nlb 8421.

yep, reflash your box,, as youve deleted files your box is needing to work, only takes about 15 mins anyway, and if you backed up you files, keys, scce, database you will be fine.

best to start again m8.

Lesson learned, always back image up before tinkering.

Hi Jud1255
I think ive cracked it m8

Open up pc editor-select new or blank in top left hand corner
Download database to pc editor
FTP database download appears-tick open download DB file & start-
within a few seconds channel settings from box appear on screen
Amend database
Select upload database to Relook -box appears FTP database upload Cuberevo
Dont tick upload database from file
Start
Message appears -re existing DB will be deleted -continue -yes
Message to reboot box for settings to update
Reboot box & new settings should appear
Then if you wish to save your new file -file save as & select location

Ive just used this to update & add ITV HD to list- although cant get no signal at the moment -could someone check if its still on air!

[aftermath]

hi catseye, ive never managed to get a picture on ITV HD at all yet, i know some peeps in certain areas do get a picture at certain times.

Glad you got sorted with the Database editing and transfering, well done m8.

[catseye]

No problem m8 -its a big learning curve getting used to this box!

Ps icocked up last night ive gotta now re-flash mine which ill be doin in the next hr or so , will keep u posted

[catseye]

ps i forgot to say ITV HD test card was on last week & watchin Champions League footie -This week according to Tv times theres no HD content on this station

I wondered whether ITV HD are tinkering at the technical end so as to allow those with a Sly HD box to watch as & when?

Although King of sat still shows same frequency etc

I would reflash your box in case something has gone awol & start again

My settings are as follows if this helps & its connected via router

Options,PC Editor settings,General -no tick in no ping when accessing receiver
Dyndns addy blank,
Use dyndns box- blank,FTP telenet user name =root, FTP/Telenet password =sifteam, webuser & password both blank
Manage receivers name IPBox9000, Type Cuberevo

Receivers -Cuberevo -Ip Addy is same as box ip addy,

check this as sometimes when box reboots it gives itself new addy- check under menu, advanced set up,ip set up & type-mines set to Auto DHCP

Try DCC program to confirm all is connected etc

When youve sorted that can you sort out enigma 2 in flash with various cams & plugins working please!!
