well, used Mac OSX terminal instead of Putty so that might caused problems with the script but at the end of the day everything worked as should and had a reason for learning new things
ID Team : OpenRSI
ID Enigma : OpenRSI_for_Azbox
Version : 3.0
About E2 : Enigma2

...and then I got these results:Fabry's script for my 1GB DOM
a) Plug in a USB stick formatted in EXT3 at the back of your AZbox, while it is running, go to > Device Manager > red, if memory serves, to mount it as media/usb, so it will be dev/sda1 (if it is media/hdd just substitute usb for hdd in the text below).
b ) Then, go into Rescue Mode (switch the AZbug at the back, then ON again, press > button on the front panel and hold, 'till you see the IP address of the rec.).
c) Start Telnet SW (PuTTy) on your PC, log-in by typing "root" (without "" signs), then copy and paste one line at the time of the text you will see below...
Warning:
- do not try to put in the next one unless and until you see the # sign come up in the next row, below the command you just issued;
- when 2 or 3 of these commands are given you will have to wait, 'till all the copying is done, so watch out for them and be patient;
- copy the script from this thread into Notepad++ and then copy each line from it into PuTTy;
- when you are in PuTTy, put the cursor where you need to paste a copied line, then right click and the message will be pasted, then hit the ENTER keyboard and watch... then, the next one...
Here is Fabry's great little script:
mkdir usb
mount -o noatime /dev/sda1 usb
mkdir dom
mount -o noatime /dev/hda1 dom
cd usb
mkdir backup
cd backup
mkdir dom
cd /home/root
cp -a dom/* usb/backup/dom/ #or for media/hdd: cp -a dom/* hdd/backup/dom/
#WAIT HERE > 'till you see # again!!! and only thren issue the next command...
umount dom
echo ",512,83" > hda.out
echo ",4,83" **** hda.out
echo ",128,82" **** hda.out
echo ",,5" **** hda.out
echo ",,83" **** hda.out
sfdisk -f -uM /dev/hda < hda.out
#WAIT A BIT HERE, TOO!!!!
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 -b 4096 -E stride=96
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda2 -b 4096 -E stride=96
mkswap /dev/hda3
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda5 -b 4096 -E stride=96
sync
mount -o noatime /dev/hda1 dom
cp -a usb/backup/dom/* dom/ #If it is media/hdd: cp -a hdd/backup/dom/* dom/
#WAIT HERE FOR THE BACKUP TO BE RETURNED TO DOM!!!
sync
umount usb
umount dom
reboot -f
Now, when the box reboots you will have to remove the USB stick via Device Manager (Umount) and edit the fstab file (FTP to OpenRSi 2.02 and go to /etc folder) by inserting the following line:
Restart AZbox HD. Sometimes several times, until it is finally mounted.Code:/dev/hda5 /media/cf auto defaults 0 0
So, now I have:
1/2 GB hda1 = E2 partition - meaning, lots of space to experiment with emus, skins, plugins and whatnot...
4 MB hda2 = who knows what this is for???
128 MB hda3 = SWAP partition - when big updates are available, this makes them possible...
over 300MB of hda4/5 = extended partition, i.e. /cf > where one directs EPG, picons, subtitles etc. (via HD Glass skin etc.).
Let's see if this helps the image, in terms of speed and stability, not only the extra space one has now...
What image can I use on my original DOM that is responsive and has the softcam functionality I am looking for (client only) ?
- Do I have to buy a DOM for it to have any value at all?
I thought I could use flashexpander for this and leave onboard chip unused?
- All I need is a image that is snappy to switch channels and have softcam...
the rest of the media playback/youtube etc and such is of no interest since i have an RPi2 for that also.
Any thoughts on this mighty piece of machinery would be nice, lets revive this (useless) discussion?!
I have my AZbox running with bigger DOM now, still having a hard time deciding on what image runs best and is most stable.
Some images are stable but I dont get my prefered c-a-m-s running, others green screen every now and then in different parts of the menues, also there are images that just run really slow compared to others.
What would be your go-to image? I've tried openspa, openatv, pbnigma so far in different flavored version numbers.
