It always can be some bad people that can mess up all the things.... If they dont want to opensource it - OK. But then support it! At least untill the new harware is out and goes stable on the market.

Currently no support!!! Isnt it not normal? As a developer i also support my software for a limited time. Microsoft does this as well. But the support does not end before newer versions to be out!

Even if new versions are out the support continues at least several years after that.

So, in my opinion they not do it right!

Yes it s all about E2 Core. In current one HBBTV doesn't work right and constantly freeze enigma. To fix that E2 Core must be fixed. Also there is no proper parental control implemented.

Also i have never stated they have not do anything opensource. My point is that closed source E2 Core.

If there is no support for the old one what's the problem to be open source?! You said new hardware and new software only for Amlogic. OK what about ARM what's the problem their part of E2 Core to be opensourced?

Whatever! You said they took the right decision.... OK but its my right then to decide should i continue to use Dreambox or not. I suppose not.

For me the support is not what it should be!

So lets end this conversation. It goes nowhere. Good luck to everyone!

Then opensource it! Currently there is no match in the matter of functionality of DM920. Seven is not even out. And One and Two a too stripped out.

So "New hardware" is not correct for now (since Seven is not out). For the current hardware, no development from a year or two (even for Amlogic devices). That is not serious.

The current software has its bugs and needs some improvement.

Besides i had a statement from @Reichi that the current software is not abandoned. That was a year ago. Still is not serious!

Thats why i think it is much better if they opensource their old software (OE2.5) so at least we to be able to use our boxes properly.

I have spent thousands of Euros for those boxes and for what?! If they expect to buy Seven i probably not since they go nowhere on the matter of software support.

Zitat von babsy98

the manufacturer has already said that there is no further development for old models, only for the AMLogic models such as Dreambox one, will come in the future something new, from the manufacturer's point of view, this is all ok, they have to look forward.

The company has also decided to offer nothing more for the opensource area, this is also ok, even if I do not quite understand the decision they earn not on the software but on selling devices, they could have created the audio interface for amlogic as an external lib with tpm protection, then many opensource images would now also be available for these amlogic models and the devices sold off would be even better.

I understand its manufacturer's decision. But it's still not right! In this way we must trash our current boxes and buy Seven? Why? I dont understand it

Well, those statements are unclear to me. Also, even if something happens in the next few months it seems unlikely to happen in OE2.5. Nor OE2.6 or newer to be released for DM920.

So, it still seems like a dead man to me. I think that will kill most of the supporters that currently admire Dreambox

Honestly with that kind of support i will not going to buy Seven. Too bad.....

Hello people,

I am a developer with a passion for satellite TV. Dreambox was always a state-of-the-art STB and i am proud owner of 5 different brands of dreamboxes and a total of 11 STBs.

But unfortunately, i must express my disappointment. One year and no single update over the software of Dreamboxes.

Also, every issue posted stays there for years with no movement. Come on guys that is not serious.

One more time i want to ask you to make enigma2 opensource so developers like me to be able to continue the work you left off.

Because currently it seems it's pretty dead!

I know the Corona crisis and the market is not what it was but i don't really understand why you left it like this.

Let be honest. There is no C++ code available. Yes the python code for the browser and hbbtv applications is available... But it is no use since the enigma is locking itself on some channels when try to access hbbtv. So in my opinion the problem is somewhere in c++ code.

I experience this for example on rtl 2 HD on 19,2 E. When i try to access hbbtv sometimes nothing opens. Another case is complete locking of the box that i cant recover.

Guys dreambox enigma2 and hbbtv have no public c++ code. Only header files can be found. That is the meaning of "closed source"

Just to clarify EPG age rating are sent by my providers... However Dreambox doesnt know about them because there is no code to read them. Otherwise yes it will be good if dream people listen to users voice.

Go ahead: https://github.com/opendreambox/enigma2/tree/4.3

Well i know about this....but there is not actual enigma 2 code. Only the python part is there. To fix something more fundamental enigma2 code (c code) is needed.

Zitat von seagen

And what bugs do you struggle with? maybe you can list them

Yes i can name some of....

1. Lack of EPG age rating so to be possible to use parental control efficiently (need age rating and genre to be possible to be got from EPG entry)

2. Sometimes EPG get lost

3. HBBTV cause entire system locking or not open at all on some channels (ex. RTL2 HD on 19.2E)

4. When using FULLHD skin and you do fast actions (ex. fast scrolling in a list) there are many artifacts, lags and you can see how the text got blurred. That generally happens if the background is pretty dark (gray for example) and text is white. I suppose this could be a driver issue or based on latest enigma changes for graphics loading.

5. PIG component in skins cause flickering on window close since for some reason it moves its position abnormally (that is clearly visible if there are no animations enabled)

There are other issues but that are the most issues bothering me

I Love Dreambox..... However i have to admit it is totaly lack of support. Only latest two models are supported with frequent fixes and new enigma versions. Older products lack any update more than half year and nobody seems to care. There are many bugs and nobody fix them. Or nobody provide enigma source so community to can fix them. In particukar i am talking about DM920 for example. No new enigma version no fixes. I think its a shame.

Thanks i Will try the plugins. Indeed it could be the diseqc...

Interesting..... How many time it takes to zap? And is that with a double tuner setup? I dont see you have a tuner B2. Also i use DreamOS from 26.05.2020 if it matter. What i am notice is zapping is notably slower when i am on dvb-s Chanel and then go to dvb-s2 one. If i zap on the same transponderi there is no issue and zapping takes less than a second. If the problem is on my side only What could cause it?

Oh i forgot to mention that i have a 8 port diseq connected to tuner A1

Hello,

I am experience a slow zapping on some DVB-S2 transponders.

It happens when switch between normal DVB-S transponder to DVB-S2 one. It takes 2-3-4 seconds to show up the channel picture.

It doesn't happen on all transponders but for example it can be seen on 39E 12464 H DVB-S2 8PSK 2/3 30000.

I suspect this has something to do with the tuner drivers.

My box has BCM45308X FBC tuner and i am using the latest DreamOS with latest drivers 3.14-1.17-dm920-20200321-r0.0.

Can someone check this?

Hello to all,

I have a problem with ServiceInfo.py HasSubtitles converter....

It just doesn't work at all. Sometimes it show correctly that there are subtitles present but most of the time it doesn't work at all.

Can that be fixed?

P.S. i am with latest DreamOS on DM920 UHD

Hello to all,

I have a problem with ServiceInfo.py HasSubtitles converter....

It just doesnt work at all. Sometimes it show corretly that there are subtitles present but most of the time it doesnt work at all.

Can that be fixed?

bug is fixed with new drivers. i dont have problems with remote on DM500HD

OK sorry for that! Just since new drivers are released it must be known is that issue fixed!

nobody?!

If someone can test with the new drivers please write here. if new drivers are working i will do an upgrade. so please someone to test! Thanks!

Zitat von dhwz

Das Problem kann ich bestätigen, das gleiche hab ich gestern auch einer DM500HD beobachtet MPEG Prozess mit 50% und Enigma2 hing, der Film der abgespielt wurde lief aber weiter, die Box lies sich nur noch durch einen Hardware-Reset neu starten. Ich hab dann allerdings gestern das Unstable aktualisiert, also keine Ahnung ob der Fehler nicht mittlerweile schon behoben ist.

can you test with the drivers update from http://dreamboxupdate.com/open…d-20110501-r0_dm500hd.ipk
