[VU+ Duo] Save timers when re-flashing to Helios

[skronk]

Hi all,

I would like to save timers (if it can be done) and install Helios. My wife has 28 timers set on the box. Can I FlashFXP them to a file or flash drive and re-install them in the new image ? If not then no prob. I will keep the image I have.

If so what files do I download / upload, and where are they ?

Appreciate any help.

Yes, you can restore the timers.xml & autotimer.xml from /etc/enigma2

Only thing is: make sure to stop E2 ('init 4') before FTPing them to the new image and start E2 ('init 3') when done.

Thanks Rob,

Not at all sure how to do these 2 actions (init4 and init3). Can you direct me please ?

You need a telnet client for that. An easy to use one is DCC.

I have dcc but don't know how to use these 2 commands !! I have only ever used it to check my connections were correct.

In DCC click on 'telnet' and type

init 4

to stop, and

init 3

to start E2
