Alway stepping up and helping us novice on the right track

Thanks dre

Nice where can i find more info. The search is just a jungle on this forum for us none German speaking users

Kicking life into this thread with some questions

Do we still need the old debian 8 jessi to build an dm900 image?

I have built the pyro images for Dreambox one and two with debian 9 strech with no problems.

But when i try to build a krogoth dm 900 image with same linux distro i get en setuptools error.

I have python-setuptools-scm installed

What the xxxxx Well then i have to try and figure out why mine is not working proper

Okey don't now how this issue did come up but after a Online Recover all is working fine again so that's the solution if some one else have the same issue as me

Thanks for testing. I assume you try with the latest DP image ???

I posted this thread in the section for Dreambox Two but seems that nobody have the same issues or have not flashed a new image for a longtime.

So i report it as a bug since i tested with all OE 2.6 images and the issue with the broken lcd is present in all images.

I assume this is a bug so therefor my post here.

LCD skin not working first boot (Solved)

Is it only for me or is this something that have been an issue from the start?

The lcd skin does not not work on first boot after a fresh install.
All i get is the dreambox logo and and empty progressbar with yellow boarders.
After Setup guide is done i have to do a full reboot to get the lcd to work proper.

I flashed the latest image dreambox-image-dreamtwo-20210324.tar.xz

What kind of Stream services do you use in Germany that require over 100mBit ???

I have never hade any issues with Netflix and 4K and my landline Provide my house with 50Mbit

I also stream Viasat UltraHD over IPTV on my poor line with no issues.

If you have the port 80 open in your router it's better to use portforward so setup for example port 6957 to point to port 80

Do the same for default https 443 port and and use a random port and point to 443 in your router

Than from the outside just add :6957 to the address you are using. This of cause is not bullet proof but at least keeps the less skilled one from

Hacking you.

But as m0rphU say. To have the webinterface open public is strongly not recommended

dre to the rescue again

It's the last option i have been doing until now but I will checkout the layer option. It would be easier if i just could clone the whole repo and be done with it

Another issue i stumble on as a novice image builder.

How do i clone the full unstable repo into my build?

I hade some issues with a simple thing like tar package don't show up in my deploy folder. It cant be that i have to add them all as single dependency?

Must be a more simple way to accomplish this?

Have you turned of Standby in your device manager. I have some similar issues with my usb 3 storage device.

Really don't now if this matters but after i turned it off i have no issues anymore

Anyway when the need for hard shutdown is done several times you also corrupt your image so a fresh flashed image with the standby turned off would be a good start

Yes everyone is correct you are asking about a device not supported by this forum or DP.

But still the easy answer is you image is to old and you need to flash a new one.

OE Alliance are at 4.4 so that will probably solve your problem.

But as mention it's better for a Volvo user to visit the Volvo dealer to get proper help

So just use google and you find the proper support forum for your device

Yes Streaming is the future even a Pure Sat provider like Allente (Former CanalDigitla and Viasat Nordic) Provide all sat customers with streaming (IPTV) as the main source.

Only if you have no internet connection their box (OnePlace) switch over to Satellite tuner.

And when under the press release where they announced the merge of the two companies the question was raised why they are providing IPTV and not Satellite only.
the answer from the CEO was that this is the future so we need to be able and offer our customers what they demand.

Yes i guess that is a solution that did not cross my mind and makes very much sense

The i have it all in the build environment and it's easy to keep up to date

Thanks for your replay dre

Hi

I have a image build question i need some help with. I know i can add external git sources to my build.

But i have a custom made python module not provided by DP and not a git source and would like to add it to the image feeds.

Is it possible to add debian packages to the deploy folder and then rebuild the feeds and get the custom files into the image feeds?

Or do i need to setup a separate feed for custom package and use dpkg scan packages to setup that feed??

Let me just confirm i hade to test with the knowledge that i would probably break the image and NO NO you are lucky if it worked for you.

For me no boot but i could just restore my current drivers and then box booted again

So like dhwz say. Dont do this if you are not prepare for a crash and have the now how to fix it.

Better to wait for the Devs they will absolutt fix it as soon as they can

If a person needs help and you have the knowledge the common use of a support forum is to give a helping hand

Really don't get why people log in to forums like this when the intention is to not help people and just come with smug comments

Like yours. If you don't now how to don't buy a Dreambox but rather buy something else ??

And i don't get that DP and Olove let this nonsense continue because they don't really care if it's A German or an Chinese that buy there product

I assume their main goal is to sell their product and make some money. And if the usual gang really supports DP then you should really think again

Because you are not doing a good work as a promoter for a company you are suppose to be supportive of

Regards

marthom and you where born with all the knowledge how to cerate a bootlog??

It takes you 2sec to give a helping hand instead of this nonsens

Here is how you create a bootlog

How do I create a bootlog

Translated from German to English for Internationel users.


How do I create a bootlog

First you need a
- mini-USB cable and a PC / laptop
- a tool for logging e.g. putty , Tera Term or the Windows software HyperTerminal
- the VCP driver to recognize the interface

1. Shut down the Dreambox properly (deep standby)
2. Turn off the power switch on the back of the Dreambox
3. Connect the Dreambox (service socket on the back) to a PC / laptop
4. Install the VCP Driver and look in the device manager under…

I took my dm900uhd to my friend who have a Samsung 75 "Q67T 4K UHD QLED Smart TV QE75Q67TAU just to see if we have overlooked something

But i can't reproduce your issues.

I tested all HDMI ports direct and also through the Philips soundbar the only way i could get the same issue was if i put the HDMI cable into the wrong port of the dm900uhd

It has 2 port one for "in" and one for "out" where "out" is the correct port.

There are some settings for how the HDMI port is handling 4K / UHD on the TV so tested different settings to see if there was an issue there but everything worked just fine.

And i must say that the picture quality was stunning good for this old box.

I also tested with some very old HDMI cables and still no issue. What i forgot to test but don't see that it should have an impact was, the hdr settings in my dm900uhd

I would maybe suspect either you have the cable in the wrong port on your dm900uhd or your TV has a faulty software / hardware.

All test is done with Factory image and HDMI-CEC off Video settings 2160p 60hz and 1080p 60hz
