Few problems with bouquets and display.

[bangorbob]

I recently purchased the SF8008 and this week decided to set it up to replace my Vu+ Duo2, I did have some problems while setting it up with my Sony 4K Tv, for some unknown reason when whating a 4K source after a few seconds the picture flickers and freezes but the audio carries on, also when the unit is put into standby after a few minutes it shows the attached message on the TV screen. With the Vu+ I use to listen to radio stations by pressing the radio button on the remote, I have tried really hard to find the radio bouquet via the remote on this model but cant find it anywhere. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using ABM and creating Freesat/Freeview bouquets, there is a hack to treat them like TV services. There will be bouquets for Radio channels.

OK, not sure why I need a hack as before on Vu+ when I pressed the Radio buttob it brought up the Radio bouquet, I have checked all the bouquets created on this box but no Radio one exists, I'm using the Sky Northern Ireland SD custom with channel swap which was the same on the Vu+ If I do need a hack can you please tell me what I need to do, Thanks.

If you are not using Freesat/Freeview, what I said does not apply. You hadn't said what your bouquets were, so I guessed.

What do you see when you open your bouquets, then press radio? Post a picture please.

Edit:
Just for info, the hack is in the provider files already. The radio bouquets are in the TV bouquets as in this picture. You are not using Freeview/Freesat, so this does not apply to you. I look forward to the answer as to what you see.

OK, firstly on this remote there is no Radio button just a TV/Radio button, beside it is a FAV button, ressing the TV/Radio button bring up the bouguet list and a second press takes you into the bouquet that you are watching. The FAV button also opens up the bouguet list.

Sorry, I don't have an answer if the TV/Radio button is not switching modes. It used to do so before. Hopefully someone with same receiver and remote will assist with solution.

Please get a debug log of pressing the tv/radio button a few times.

So they recently changed the remote for that model which is why OpenViX doesn't know it needs special handling:
https://github.com/oe-mirrors/branding-module/commit/d3ac0e6e1626ca672e5c5887b38565d2fe0b72da

Add the following update and report back:
https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/commit/e32c35414ec0aae761907a65065e7548b3597ec1

Huevos, could you please give me a quick guide as to install this change, sorry for being a bit stupid with this.

 

[Huevos]

Add the attached file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components (by ftp) and then restart the receiver.

Thank You that has sorted that issue with the Radio Bouquets. Hoping now that someone might be able to shed some light on why the unit after being put into standby after a few minutes puts a display on the TV screen.

Displays what?

This is what it's displaying on the screen when I turn the TV on again

That's not actually an issue, although you shouldn't get that screen - means that power is not dropped/stopped on hdmi out.... which it should be

Which model of the sf8008 are you running??

As an aside - I get that screen if I put my GB Quad+ into standby when connected to my TV via HDMI through my Sony amp (CEC not enabled on this box).
