test my github enigma2 please (branch hisilicon).I do not reproduce this ... I have the same chip that uses @twol U5mini.

the only thing is that I would have to put SKIN default mine. (attach source.bb).

https://github.com/norhap/Turquoise-HD

I have a different manufacturer (ferguson4k) but this box is identical to dinobot 4k SE.

machine = ferguson4k = u5pvr.conf

i will test mini to day ..... may be different from 4kplus
But all these boxes have different builds and drivers

Use the standard default ViX Night HD Skin.

Use the standard default ViX Night HD Skin.

I have put vix-night-hd (skin_default) in my hisilicon branch, https://github.com/norhap/vix-u5pvr/commit/936a9c945244b3612eeaf4286351c98a73988ffd

I have built ... I still do not reproduce this problem.

I am going to leave this change all day today so that if you want to try you do not have to change too many things in your environment.

with this we could approach to know if they are the drivers.

Compare git:

I think this is the log

Open folder site.conf, open it and look at this line starting DL_DIR
Move the oscam files in the zip to the directory pointed to by DL_DIR (they are the Oscam files plus a .DONE folder which tells the build they are downloaded)

Issue is still present.

Dinobot has issues displaying certain PNG's, therefore has issues with certain skins. Hisilicon CPU's do not support alpha blending.

For now it remains on hold.

Oh well, looks like keeping my fingers and toes crossed didn't work.:violin:

@norhap

Does the ferguson4k use the same drivers as the dinobot 4k SE?

 

[norhap]

yes abu, the two are built on u5pvr.conf

They are the same, ... different manufacturer nothing more.
ferguson version europe.

We need to be careful.... we are talking about 3 different boxes dinobot 4Kmini, 4Kplus and the u5pvr .... they are different and I only looked at the OpenViX code needed for the 1st 2 .... You probably can build OpenViX for the u5pvr but whether it has all the code needed to support it - I don‘t know as I didn‘t have the box to test..... just because it is in teh OE-A does not mean that all the required code is in the image.

that's right ... they are different boxes, what if I say ... is that tired of the instability of another image (I will not say name) I put openvix ... and this image without a doubt is by far the best image for my E2 for the u5pvr ..... I took the liberty to create a bit of OpenViX based code to have an operational dual boot since the stability was only achieved with Android ... now I can use the two very worthy systems and stable.

u5pvr has an important bug but from what we see in OE-A the driver is already up for a year without updating ... timeshift in certain channels, no work .. in others if ... except this, box is worthy of have it with E2-ViX.

@willo3092 you are an absolute superstar. I couldn't follow anything you did, it all sounded like gobbledygook to me. May as well be rocket science.

Is your image for the 4k+? If so, how would I go about installing your feeds after flashing the image?

Build my own Vix image

Yeah @Willo3092’s ViX image is for the Dinobot 4K+

Don't worry, it's all gobbledygook to me as well! I was just following the instructions from all the clever guys on the forum :thumbsup:

Just extract the opkg.zip that I posted earlier and overwrite the files in /etc/opkg/ folder.
I will look at putting the feeds on my NAS so they will be easier to update.

I will do that tomorrow, family will revolt if I do it tonight. Do you also have the skin transparency issue with your ViX homebrew?

 

[Willo3092]

I didn't have an awful lot of time before I went to work but I can only assume that it's the emergency default skin that has problems.
Simple Ten Eighty was fine and I tested a couple of KiddaC's skins because I know they used to struggle on the ATV image but they were okay on ViX.

I will be able to have a proper faff with things when I'm on rest days Mon - Weds.

 

[dodgydrains]

I'll definitely be jumping on your build to test. Should we hold our breath for a chance of official ViX love for this box?

Installed it and started testing. Had to restart the box as ABM couldn't scan tuner B, could it have been due to adding the files in OPKG folder?

Noticed a couple of things:

1 When powering off the display still shows the time even with it set to off in settings
2. LED does not turn on in standby

The above work fine on OpenATV

Other than that all seems to be working fine.

Thanks for sharing.

Please post any test images/feeds/feedback in this thread.

Thank you

ABM is already installed, so there is no activity related to opkg while it runs.
