Using dreamboxedit to transfer the bouquet successfully but could it could not auto reload settings. Have to switch off and on back the box before it loads to the new settings. Is it normal as previously has got no issues on this.

Manage to solve it by putting password in telnet as image comes with no password.

This image has been my favourite for past 12+ months but now i cannot install meoboot on it on DM800SE sim2 ssl84a. I know there is Barry Allen but it has a mind of its own, i have to reinstall flash image everytime i want to try a new image coz BA just disappears.

Anybody who has meoboot running on this image could they please share their experience

Regards

Solved... lower default tv-resolution, and it works fine

Is it safe to make a software update without encounter errors.

It "should" be, I don't believe there's been any recent driver/ssl upgrades. I updated my PLi image last night w/out incident...

I updated too. No errors and issues. :thum:

I've updated OpenPLi regularly and never really had a problem. On the rare occasions that they update drivers or SSL, it's relatively simple to edit the /usr/lib/opkg/status file to trick it into believing the updated ssl or drivers have already been installed, therefore skipping them on future updates. Even if you update the drivers by mistake, the fix is as simple as copying the 1 needed tuner driver back onto the box & reboot...

That applies to gjstroom's images, other PLi image posters may or may not use different techniques that may or may not cause problems w/ the update. Then there's always the possibility that a specific daily update as built my pli may be unstable or broken. They added a check to the update menu to notify users of buggy releases, but if you update before the problem is discovered, you'd have no such warning...

I always warn you and you say:



:mecry:

It doesn't "brick' in the true sense of the word, DreamUp will bring it back.

Re-reading my previous post, it sounded like gjstroom's images are some how "magical". I should note that simply flashing an Official OpenPLi image, followed with SSL84a still works fine. The only caveat is having to uninstall the web interface and install either the "old" web interface or the OpenWebif (under heavy development) plugin, both available through OpenPLi's feeds.

DAMN I can't edit my previous post... I forgot about PLI's IPV6 problems, so their official images are unstable w/ SSL84/a. Thanks to lukin for reminding me. I build my own images & forgot that I had to remove ipv6 support from the kernel, the same "magic" that gjstroom uses, so I stand corrected...

They remove it when builiding the image, it cannot be removed completely in a running/installed image.

You can decide if it's too complex or not, the first step is being able to build the OpenPLi image from scratch (requiring a Linux PC or Linux VM).
