    Thanks gutemine! That is indeed the solution.


    For others who (like me) tend to use just the PVR functions of the DreamBox and are not familiar with MediaCenter, the exact steps are:

    - Press Menu button

    - Scroll down and select MediaCenter

    - Press Menu button again

    - Add directories to be scanned for media items using the green button. Multiple directories can be added.

    I am trying to get my DM7080HD to act as a uPnP server using the enigma2 plugin. I am running the "Stable (opendreambox 2.5)" OS and therefore the enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-upnp_4.3.2r8-r0.2_mipsel.deb package. I have 2 issues/questions:


    1) When I access the uPnP server (using a variety of different uPnP clients), it returns a list of movies which do not reflect the contents of the /media/hdd/movie directory. In particular, it returns some items which were deleted long ago from my harddrive. Is there a way to force the plugin to update its database of multimedia items to reflect the current state of the harddrive?


    2) On the DM7080HD, I store my audio files in a different directory to /media/hdd/movie. Is it possible to configure the uPnP server to use different directories for audio and video files? I seem to recall that the enigma2 uPnP server is based on Coherence. For a Coherence server, it is possible to specify multiple media directories using the "medialocation = <list of directories separated by commas> command in the config file. Is there a similar feature in the enigma2 plugin?


    Thanks,

    Unlike the DVD player, the Bludisc player only looks in the following directory locations:
    /media/bludisc/
    /media/net/bludisc/
    /media/network/bludisc/
    /autofs/sr0/


    You could, for example, create the file /media/bludisc as a softlink to the directory containing your disk contents. It has to be a directory containing just one disk, i.e. 'ls /media/bludisc/' should return the directories BDMV and CERTIFICATE.

    A quick update: I have not been able to reproduce my issue with a new empty hard drive in the DM7080. There are a number of differences between the new drive I used and the one swapped over from my DM8000:
    New Drive:
    - Western Digital, 160GB, empty
    - DM7080 initialises it to a ext4 partition
    - 7200rpm, 8MB cache, 300 Mbps transfer rate
    Ex-DM8000 Drive:
    - Seagate, 2TB, 95% full
    - ext3 partition
    - 5900rpm, 64MB cache, 144 Mbps transfer rate
    I doubt I'm going to find the time to narrow the problem down any further. I'll probably just buy a new drive for the DM7080.

    I did a software update last Tuesday and I'm running 4.2.2r1 (10th April). The problem isn't really blocking artifacts, rather a whole 2 seconds or so missing from both the video and the audio streams in the .ts file.


    I would to run some more tests, perhaps with a new, empty hard drive, to confirm the problem. (The hdd in my DM7080 used to be in my DM8000 - I swapped it over without any re-formatting.) Unfortunately, I shall be travelling in Germany the rest of this week, so this will have to wait.

    gambcl, I just posted a comment to your other thread in the "Produkte/Dreambox DM7080 HD" forum. I'd be interested to know if you're having the same issues as I am with recordings to HDD.


    Regarding DVB-T2, a while back I played around with a USB DVB-T2 receiver stick (pcTV nanostick T2 290e) plugged into a DM8000HD. I was able to get the box to recognise it as a tuner but hit a brick wall when trying to configure it for DVB-T2 reception. UK DVB-T2 transmissions use 32K 1/128 256-QAM 2/3. OE2.0 didn't support 32k transmission nor 1/128 guard interval nor 256-QAM constellation and trying to set them to "auto" didn't get me anywhere.


    If OE2.2 starts supporting the necessary transponder parameters for DVB-T2 it might be worth having another play with the USB stick even if DMM don't bring out a DVB-T2 tuner.

    I've just bought a DM7080 to replace my DM8000 and, while some things like the GigE interface are a huge improvement, I'm also disappointed about the state of the new OE2.2 software.


    The biggest problem I'm having right now is that recordings to the internal harddisk don't seem to be given high enough priority over other processes. (Or there is less I/O buffering than on the DM8000 so the system can't absorb interruptions.) I'm finding at the moment that ANY activity on the box while a recording is in progress (even the start of another timer recording) causes a corruption in the .ts file of about 2 seconds of the recording in progress. This is unacceptable and never happened on my DM8000 (or indeed my old DM7025).


    Gutemine's OpenTV plugin works well as a FreeSAT EPG solution. It's a lot slower than OE2.0 solutions such as CrossEPG (I assume because of changes DMM have made to the EPG database - Gutemine can no doubt correct me on this!) but that's not really a problem - you can just set it up to run overnight.

    I have recently migrated from a DM8000 to a DM7080 and have noticed that all the satellite channels which had a namespace of 011A0000 on my DM8000 now have a namespace of 011C0000 on my DM7080. No idea why.

    OK, having just reading the thread on OpenEPG, I see that this change has occurred because the satellites.xml file supplied with a DM7080 defines the Astra2 satellites as being at position 28.4E rather than 28.2E.

    Sorry to add to a closed topic but I wanted to share one piece of information regarding CrossEPG on a DM7080. I have recently migrated from a DM8000 to a DM7080 and have noticed that all the satellite channels which had a namespace of 011A0000 on my DM8000 now have a namespace of 011C0000 on my DM7080. No idea why. Something to do with a different design of in-built DVB-S/S2 tuner in the two boxes?


    Anyway, by changing the namespace in the /usr/crossepg/providers/skyuk_astra2_28.2.conf file as follows:

    the DM7080 now tunes correctly to the "EPG Background Audio." radio channel when CrossEPG is activated. I can then download EPG data manually:

    I have had the same problem trying to play back .ts files recorded by a Humax PVR. The solution is to remove SDT and EIT PIDs from the transport stream. There is a free utility "MPEG-2 Transport Stream packet analyser" which will do this http://www.pjdaniel.org.uk/mpeg. Use it to list all the PIDs in the stream and then demux the stream to a new file, retaining all the PIDs except the SDT and EIT ones. The Dreambox should then be able to play back the new .ts file.

    I'm trying to build an image for a DM7025 with the release 2.5 of enigma2 using the following commands:
    make -f Makefile-opendreambox-1.5 initialize
    make -f Makefile-opendreambox-1.5 openembedded-update
    (then edit enigma2 .bb files to select release 2.5 rather than 2.6)
    cd dm7025/build; source env.setup; bitbake dreambox-image


    The task 'dreambox-image-1.0-r0' is failing with a message 'Cannot find package enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-softwaremanager.'


    Any ideas how to fix this? It seemed to be working about a week ago.


    Also, can anyone tell me how to include the new webinterface into my builds (while still using release 2.5)? My current build is picking up version 2.5cvs20090303-r0, which is the old webinterface. An image I have from February has version 2.5cvs20090201-r1, which is the new webinterface.


    I'm very much a newbie at this image-building game, so please excuse any obvious ignorance!
