unicable.xml, Inverto Unicable II IDLU-32UL42-UNBOO-OPP Item: 5679

[jorgeavlobo]

I want to add an LNB to the unicable.xml file located in /usr/share/enigma2/.

The LNB I want to add is Inverto Unicable II IDLU-32UL42-UNBOO-OPP Item: 5679 and it's specifications are available here:
https://www.inverto.tv/lnb/373/programmable-40mm-lnb-with-32-ub

The image I am currently using is Openvix 6.2.001 on a Vu+ Uno4k SE.

Looking at the existing LNBs listed in unicable.xml, I can see the following code for other Inverto LNBs:

I wanted to add the following line:

<manufacturer name="Inverto">
<product name="IDLP-40UNIQD+S" scrs="1680,1420,2040,1210"/>
<product name="IDLB-QUDL43-UNE1L-OPP" scrs="1210,1420,1680,2040"/>

</manufacturer>

The questions I have are:

1. How do I know the bootuptime? Is it 2500? 800?
2. Should I write the tag: positions="4", what does this mean? What is the correct value?
3. in the unicable.xml file, there are two sections with the manufacturer Inverto, Couldn't it be merge into one single section?

<manufacturer name="Inverto">
(...)
</manufacturer>

For boot up time you will need to test. My Inverto works at 800. But you can only test that if the LNB is not powered 24/7. If the delay is too short a tune failed message will appear on reboot.

 

[abu baniaz]

The xml file contains details for switches as well as LNBs, this is why there are two sections.

 

[jorgeavlobo]

Any updates regarding question number 2 regarding the “positions=“4””?

 

[abu baniaz]

Best to contact Inverto, they will confirm number of positions. That being said, as you are not programming it, it does not matter, just make sure you select position 1 when configuring it.

You don't really need to add the device, you can use use the existing 32UL40, the channels/frequencies are the same.

Nice to see inverto have narrow unicable LNBs.

 

[abu baniaz]

I'll email inverto for you and add details to the xml file we use for image. Just to repeat what I said earlier, use the 32ul40 entry for now

 

[Huevos]

Any updates regarding question number 2 regarding the “positions=“4””?

Yes, it is going to be positions="4" but anyway this has no relevance unless you set up the lnb with a programmer. Default setup of that lnb out of the box is to respond to all commands irrespective of the positions command.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that you add that LNB for future images.

Will be in the next Release image built after this.

could i ask also for support on IDLU-32L412-UNBRR-OPN?

 

[Szelest]

https://inverto.tv/lnb/493/programmable-32ub-dcss-lnb thats the product page (i cant edit my posts it seems)

/e or i can but only for 30min

 

[abu baniaz]

For now, select either of these two, the frequencies are the same and it will work.
"IDLU-32UL40-UNBOO-OPP"
"IDLU-32UL42-UNBOO-OPP"

Thank you, i havent bought it yet, but im planning to, cause its way smaller than what i got now, i was just worried i might have issues with making it work, but if other settings work, then its cool!
