=='''What are Picons'''==
Picons are channel logos which are linked to one or more TV channels using a service reference or a simplified version of the channel name. so using Picons you can add Channel logo's for your TV channels (Sat or Cabel).

=='''How do I get Picons'''==
They can be installed on Enigma2 satellite receivers and can be downloaded from the [[Plugin_Wiki:Information | Plugins]]. They can be present in the left or right side of the screen, in the channel list and in [[Webif | Webif]]. There are a lot to choose from, they differ in style and size, example: "snp-full.220x132-190x102.light.on.transparent" like in the picture below, the green marker arrow points to the picon of the BBC in the left corner.

[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_001.jpg|centre|800px]]

=='''Whats is the difference between UTF8, SNP and SRP Picons'''==
SRP picons are based on Service References and must therefore match what the provider is broadcasting.

SNP picons are based on Service (channel) Names, certain characters in the channel names are replaced making them much more flexible, but require slightly more processing.

UTF8 picons are also based on the Service (channel) Names. However, only characters prevented by sanitizeFilename will be omitted.

=='''Picons settings'''==
You can change a few settings concerning the picons, like where the picons will appear.
Firstly, change the "User mode" from Normal to Advanced or Expert

'''Menu > Setup > System > Expert Settings > User mode'''
More details here:
https://wiki.openpli.org/Tips_and_Tweaks#Access_level_or_User_Mode

Then go to '''Main menu -> Setup -> Gui Settings -> User Interface''' and enable ''show picons in the channel selection list''.

[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_003.jpg|thumb|centre|800px|'''Show Picons in the channel selection list''']]
[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_002.jpg|centre|800px|]]

When you have a LCD screen on your receiver, you can also add the picons there. To set it, go to '''Main menu -> Setup -> System -> GUI Settings -> USer interfaces''' and enable ''show picons in the display''

[[File:Picons-005.png|centre|800px]]

'''Notice''': when you install the picons in the memory of your box, they will use quite a bit of memory size. As an alternative you can install them on external media. Also a restore of an [[Backup/AutoBackup | AutoBackup]] can take a bit more time, as the picons collection can be large, because the picons maintainers don't know which channels and satellites you will use, so there are many.

Webif

2024-04-06T17:26:12Z

Abu Baniaz: /* Make a screenshot */

=='''OpenWebif information'''==
With the Webif (short for Web interface) you can control your Box using a browser. The Web interface is included in OpenPLi. You can reach the WebIf by pointing your favorite web browser to the IP of your Box (e.g. <nowiki>http://192.168.0.21)</nowiki>. The Web interface is fully embedded into Enigma2. It is able to use ANY functionality and obtain ANY Information Enigma2 can deliver. Webif has it's own developing site. Webif has many features and there all self explanatory, have fun.

[[File:Webif-001.png|frameless|centre|800px]]

=='''Never connect your receiver direct to the internet'''==
OpenWebif has the option to access it (GUI) using a login and password, this is meant for logging in from within a secure environment, like your personal network, eg. your LAN (RFC 1918), so not from the internet! This login is a “simple” script and not a hardened web server and therefor not secure to be used from the internet! If you want to access your receiver from the internet, you should use a secure solution, like using a [[VPN | VPN]].

=='''Access OpenWebif from another subnet'''==

There are currently three levels possible:

1. Local access (= same subnet) is always allowed even if no login/pass is set (But if you enable auth, it will require auth).

2. VPN access (= any subnet from private address space) can be allowed to access w/o password (But if you enable auth, it will require auth).

3. External access non-optionally requires a login/pass to be set.

VPN access is disabled by default, just go to '''Menu -> Plugins -> OpenWebif''' and toggle the setting "Enable access from VPNs" (or whatever it gets translated to) to "yes".
If set to "yes" VPNs count as local network, if set to "no" VPNs are treated the same way as external networks.

[[File:Webif-004.jpg|frameles|centre|800px]]

=='''Signal checking (SNR), the satfinder function in the Web Interface'''==

If you want to check your signal quality use this kinda hidden function in Open Webif. For unknown reason the Web Interface builders didn't add the sat finder (signal measuring) function,to be easy accessible, but it is there and you can check it out.

Go to: '''<nowiki>http://ipaddressofyourreceiver/mobile/satfinder</nowiki>''' to see the signal levels of the channel your receiver is tuned in.

[[File:Webif-008.jpg|frameless|centre|1000px]]

=='''Make a screenshot'''==
If you want to take a screenshot, let's say to show a certain result to someone, you can take a screenshot of the current state of the screen on your TV using Webif. When in Webif on the left of the screen you open remote control and click on "Capture screenshot".

[[File:Tips and Tricks-003.png|frameles|centre|800px]]

This is the result and it is best to enable the high resolution (see red arrow):
[[File:Tips and Tricks-004.png|frameles|centre|800px]]

There are three modes: Screenshot (all), Screenshot (video), screenshot (OSD). Select the one that is best suited for your needs. The OSD one just shows menu/screen text and avoids copyright issues.
Right click anywhere on the screen and click on "Save image as". You can then select where to save the screenshot. You can select a different name too.

[[File:owif save as.png|frameles|centre|800px]]

As an alternative, you can just paste this in your web browser's address bar. Adjust to match your IP address

'''<nowiki>http://192.168.1.5/grab?format=jpg&mode=osd</nowiki>'''

=='''Create timers'''==
Open the EPG by pressing the icon below in any bouquet (channel list)

[[File:Webif-002.png|frameless|centre|800px]]

and then press the timer plus icon

[[File:Webif-003.png|frameless|centre|800px]]

=='''Start a stream, watch TV from you PC or Tablet'''==
If you want to watch TV on a PC or Tablet, you can startup a stream. When you click on the icon the green arrow below is pointing your browser will start a media player on your PC or tablet and it will play the TV channel. If you don't have a media player installed you can try [http://www.videolan.org VLC] || PC || Mac || Linux

=='''Access OScam webinterface'''==
Of course OScam has to be [[Softcam/OSCam#OScam_install | installed]], if so, the easiest way to access the OScam webinterface is using OpenWebif

=='''Never connect your receiver direct to the internet'''==
OpenWebif has the option to access it (GUI) using a login and password, this is meant for logging in from within a secure environment, like your personal network, eg. your LAN (RFC 1918), so not from the internet! This login is a “simple” script and not a hardened web server and therefor not secure to be used from the internet! If you want to access your receiver from the internet, you should use a secure solution, like using a [[VPN | VPN]].

=='''Access OpenWebif from another subnet'''==

There are currently three levels possible:

1. Local access (= same subnet) is always allowed even if no login/pass is set (But if you enable auth, it will require auth).

2. VPN access (= any subnet from private address space) can be allowed to access w/o password (But if you enable auth, it will require auth).

3. External access non-optionally requires a login/pass to be set.

VPN access is disabled by default, just go to '''Menu -> Plugins -> OpenWebif''' and toggle the setting "Enable access from VPNs" (or whatever it gets translated to) to "yes".
If set to "yes" VPNs count as local network, if set to "no" VPNs are treated the same way as external networks.

=='''Signal checking (SNR), the satfinder function in the Web Interface'''==

If you want to check your signal quality use this kinda hidden function in Open Webif. For unknown reason the Web Interface builders didn't add the sat finder (signal measuring) function,to be easy accessible, but it is there and you can check it out.

Go to: '''<nowiki>http://ipaddressofyourreceiver/mobile/satfinder</nowiki>''' to see the signal levels of the channel your receiver is tuned in.

=='''Make a screenshot'''==
If you want to take a screenshot, let's say to show a certain result to someone, you can take a screenshot of the current state of the screen on your TV using Webif. When in Webif on the left of the screen you open remote control and click on "Capture screenshot".

[[File:Tips and Tricks-003.png|frameles|centre|800px]]

This is the result and it is best to enable the high resolution (see red arrow):

There are three modes: Screenshot (all), Screenshot (video), screenshot (OSD). Select the one that is best suited for your needs. The OSD one just shows menu/screen text and avoids copyright issues.

Right click anywhere on the screen and click on "Save image as". You can then select where to save the screenshot. You can select a different name too.

=='''Start a stream, watch TV from you PC or Tablet'''==
If you want to watch TV on a PC or Tablet, you can startup a stream. When you click on the icon the green arrow below is pointing your browser will start a media player on your PC or tablet and it will play the TV channel. If you don't have a media player installed you can try [http://www.videolan.org VLC] || PC || Mac || Linux

==EPG = Electronic Progam Guide==
DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) channels can receive program information embedded in the signal-stream (cable or satellite). This system of retrieving program information is called EPG and the information received depends on the TV broadcaster.

When you press the EPG on your remote, EPG data is presented. This data can be retrieved using a few methods. Using the EPG settings you can select what program information you want to be retrieved from the data that's embedded in the signal-stream, '''EIT''' is maybe the most common way to retrieve EPG data and in most cased you should enable it. Then there are a few more specific settings:

==EPG settings:==
To adjust the EPG settings in OpenPLi go to '''Main menu > Setup > System > GUI settings > EPG settings''' and as of OpenPLi 7.2 '''Main menu > Setup > System > EPG settings'''

[[File:EPG-001.jpg|frameles|left|600px]] [[File:EPG-002.jpg|frameles|centre|600px]]

OpenTV EPG is a proprietary format. It is only transmitted on the specific EPG transponder. You must tune to the transponder in order to update your EPG.

The transponders/channels you must zap to:

SKY UK: Channel name: '''IEPG Data 1'''. Satellite: '''28.2E''' Transponder details: ''' DVB-S, 11778, Vertical, 27500 Symbols, FEC 2/3.'''

SKY IT: Channel name: '''Nat Geo'''. Satellite: '''13.0E''' Transponder details: ''' DVB-S, 11842, Vertical, 27500.'''

'''Note:''' This setting is available as of OpenPLi 7.2!

==Other ways to retrieve EPG==
===XMLTV EPG===
You can use XMLTV EPG Data or WebEPG Data, for this you need the [[Plugin Wiki:EPGImport | EPGImport]] plugin. With this plugin you can select which data you want to be retrieved according to the country. When you choose this way of retrieving, you may consider disabling the settings mentioned above as there is a risk there will be doubles in the EPG, it is best to just try enable a setting and see if there are doubles. The advantage of having the EPG settings also enabled (so apart from the XMLTV EPG) is that the data is refreshed when you "zap" to the channels.

===EPG Refresh===
[[Plugin Wiki:EPGRefresh | EPGRefresh]] is a plugin and can be installed via the plugin browser. EPG data is usually updated when the respective transmitter is selected. However, since this way of updating EPG data is a tedious task. Using EPG Refresh you can automate this process, when en how you like.

Information for translators

2022-12-01T04:48:36Z

Abu Baniaz:

__TOC__

== Foreword ==
OpenPLi is always looking for help to have it translated properly in many languages.
But we kindly ask you to translate in your native language or in a language that you are really familiar with. OpenPLi is not looking for automated translation jobs.

== The easiest way to translate ==

# We recommend that you download and install PoEdit from this site (please consider to register it if you appreciate it): https://poedit.net/
# Once installed go into: Preferences - Advanced - '''suppress''' the wrap line option and '''do not select''' preserve original file format
# Download the language file you want to work on from: https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2/tree/develop/po (click on the file name, it will show you the file content, press the RAW button and save it locally on your disk).
# Open it with PoEdit
# You can start translating the file
# Save it, you will get 2 files xx.po and xx.mo (where xx is your language code)
# Upload your updated xx.po file to the forum and we will put it back into github for you: https://forums.openpli.org/forum/55-en-enduser-support/ (we don't need to xx.mo file only the xx.po is important for us).

== FAQ ==
=== How can I test my translation on my OpenPLi? ===

In order to test your translation works on you receiver, you will need FTP access to it. 
You can get a free FTP client from: https://filezilla-project.org/ (or any FTP client of your choice).
Advice: if you use FileZilla client go into Parameters - Transfers - FTP: file type : set it to Binary (this will avoid you many problems when using FTP).

# You have a local file that you have worked on called: xx.mo (where xx is your language code) rename it into: enigma2.mo
# Connect to your receiver and go to this path: /usr/share/enigma2/po
# You will see a series of folders there, one per language. Enter the language that you are working on: /usr/share/enigma2/po/xx/LC_MESSAGES
# Rename the existing file on your receiver from "enigma2.mo" into "enigma2.bak" (this step is important if you want to be able to rollback your changes)
# Transfer your own enigma2.mo file
# Restart your receiver
# Enjoy your translation

=== My enigma2.mo gives trouble: how to rollback? ===

# If you have followed the previous step carefully, connect with FTP to you receiver and go back into the folder. Delete your enigma2.mo and rename the enigma2.bak into enigma2.mo 
# Restart you receiver.

=== There is a mistake in the original strings that I want to translate, how can I fix it? ===

If you find a mistake in the original strings / sentences that you need to translate, it is useless to try to fix it in the po file. The correction must done in the source code. 
So please report the error on the OpenPLi forum and wait to have it fixed into the source code and the po files including the correction to be generated again. 
You can continue to translate in between, just skip the erroneous strings.

=== Do I need to translate every strings? ===

Some strings, perhaps, don't need to be translated, you can of course decide to skip those strings and leave them untranslated. From my side, I like to have the po file that I manage always translated at 100%. Why? Because I'd like to see immediately the strings that I still need to translate, otherwise you will read over and over the untranslated strings. But it's up to you to decide.

=== My plugin is not translated, can I add manually the missing strings in the OpenPLi po files to have it translated too? ===

No! Never add manually missing strings/sentences into OpenPLi file to translate, for example plugin, because the po files are generated on a regular basis and every strings/sentences that is included in a po file but not found in the OpenPLi source code will just deleted. So you will lose your work. 

Remark: I will explain later on how to properly translated plugins (stay tuned).

=== What are %s, %d, %f do I need to keep them? ===

%s, %d, %f, ... are respectively string, number, float number replacement strings, they are used in dynamically created string. So the same numbers of those special characters needs to be in your translation. You also need to keep them "attached" so %s cannot became % s in your translation. So be careful, especially if you trust suggested translation by PoEdit sometimes in the suggested translation those special important characters are changed.

=== What is \n? ===

\n is to force a carriage return so to preserve the layout of OpenPLi you need to respect them too. And there are some original strings that start with a \n this is normal, your translated string must also start with \n.

=== Do I need to respect spaces ===

Yes, some translation start or end with spaces, this is normal since they are part of a longer string so you need to preserve those starting and trailing spaces.

== PoEdit ==

# We recommend that you download and install PoEdit from this site (please consider to register it if you appreciate it): https://poedit.net/
# Once installed go into: Preferences - Advanced - '''suppress''' the wrap line option and '''do not select''' preserve original file format

=== Can I edit po file without using PoEdit? ===

po files are just plain text, so yes of course any linux compatible text editor can do the job but PoEdit is real help to avoid some common mistake that you can make when editing it with a text editor.

=== PoEdit report warning in my po file, is it normal? ===

Yes, PoEdit can report warnings that are not mistakes, for example a capital letter set when it is not in the original string, this is not blocking. If you are happy with you translation, don't worry about warnings. 
But if PoEdit report errors then you need to fix them, errors are important and will prevent you from saving the file. So you need to fix them all.

=== What are Fuzzy/To be reviewed lines in PoEdit? ===

The po files are generated based on the translatable strings that are in the source code, but the source code evolves and the strings are subject to change. 
So when the script detect that an already translated string is changed in the source code, it is marked as fuzzy/to be reviewed, this mean that the string must be reviewed by the translators. 
It can happen that the translation is still correct, so don't forgot to untick the fuzzy/to be reviewed flag in PoEdit because a fuzzy string is never displayed, only validated translation are.

During development process some well-known strings may evolve, so a translated string created for version X can turn into "fuzzy/to be reviewed" string in release X+1. So a translation file is really adapted for the version it is created for and it will need to reviewed with every OpenPLi version.

=== How to easily unwrap my file with PoEdit? ===
=== The po file that I proposed generates thousands of changed lines in github, is it normal? ===

Not really (except if you start a translation from scratch and work very hard).
po files can have 2 format: 
* the wrapped lines version where the editor wrap a big line into several smaller ones
* the unwrapped lines where the long line are remains untouched.

OpenPLi choose to include in there git the unwrapped version of the po file, so if you propose a wrapped po file this will generates thousands of changes.

But it is possible to easily unwrap your file with PoEdit:

# Please open PoEdit, go into Preferences - Advanced - '''do not enable the wrap line after xx chars option''' and also '''do not select the preserve original file format'''.
# Open up your po file and save it.
The new version will be an unwrapped version (size will be slightly smaller too).

== Multi OS translation script pre-requisites ==

=== On Mac OSX ===

Install PoEdit from: https://poedit.net/

Since this package is downloaded from the Internet once you try to install it, it will be locked by the system, you need to go into '''System Preferences''' - '''Security & Confidentiality''' and in the '''General''' tab at the bottom click on the button: '''Open anyway'''.

* Once installed launch PoEdit and go into: Preferences - Advanced - '''suppress''' the wrap line option and '''do not select''' preserve original file format

Then open up a terminal and type:

git --version

If git is not installed you should be prompted to install it.

Then go to this website to install Homebrew: https://brew.sh/ 
Follow the instructions from the site. Once installed (perhaps a reboot is needed)

You open up a terminal and type:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew install gawk gettext gnu-sed python

Now you will be able to clone the OpenPLi repository:

cd
git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2.git
cd ./enigma2/po
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh

=== On Windows ===

Install PoEdit from: https://poedit.net/

* Once installed launch PoEdit and go into: Preferences - Advanced - '''suppress''' the wrap line option and '''do not select''' preserve original file format

Go to Python.org and install Python: https://www.python.org/

'''Important:''' during installation of Python you need to select the checkbox Add Python to PATH otherwise Python is not accessible in git-bash, at the end of Python install I also click to allow path longer than 256 characters.

Go to GitForWindows and install it: https://gitforwindows.org/ 
Remark: seems that git-gui doesn't start on Windows, you need to launch it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. (but we won't use it anyway).

Then start the '''git-bash''' and type:

cd
git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2.git
cd ./enigma2/po
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh

Debug: if the script doesn't work please test that Python is accessible into git-bash. 
Start a git-bash command prompt and type: '''python -i''' then use '''exit()''' to leave Python.

If you didn't get into Python either:
* Python is not installed on your Windows
* Python is installed but the access path is not set into your Windows PATH variable (the easiest way to fix it is to reinstall Python and this time select Add Python into Path checkbox.)

=== On Ubuntu / Linux ===
sudo apt-get is Ubuntu command, it should also work on other distribution just adapt the package manager to it.

Install PoEdit from: https://poedit.net/

* Once installed launch PoEdit go into: Preferences - Advanced - '''suppress''' the wrap line option and '''do not select''' preserve original file format

Open up a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python gettext gawk sed git

Now we will clone the OpenPLi repository:

cd
git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2.git
cd ./enigma2/po
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh

== updateallpo-multiOS.sh ==
=== updateallpo-multiOS.sh parameters ===

This script is created to be multi Operating System compatible. Please refer to section above to properly install the pre-requisites according to your Operating System.

Actions performed by this script are:
* Syncing with the remote server and remote branch (by default remote server: origin and default branch: develop)
* Create a local branch named: MyTranslation to work on
* Generate the latest .pot file and update all the .po files (+ create the .mo files too)

Once the script is finished you will get the very latest .po files so you can always ensure to work on an up-to-date translation file.

Once you have finished translating, you can post your translation on the OpenPLi forum:
https://forums.openpli.org/forum/55-en-enduser-support/

And we will push the translation for you in OpenPLi github.

The script has been tested on: 
* Windows 10
* Mac OSX
* Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04
* Raspbian (on Raspberry PI)

BE CAREFUL: if you change your po file from within this folder and run the script again, all your changes will be discarded!

Script must be launched from the location where you find it, so please don't specify the a full or relative path to launch. So first change directory (cd) into the folder then launch the script.

=== updateallpo-multiOS.sh possible options are: ===

-r | --remote to specify the remote git to use, default[origin]
-b | --branch to specify the branch to translate, default[develop]
-p | --python to specify the python runtime name, default[python]
-n | --nodelete to keep the .pot files, useful to find where a message came from
-h | --help this text

==== -r | --remote ====

Default: origin 
For more advanced user that have there own git fork, if you define OpenPLi as upstream you can select toward which remote server you want to update the branch.

Example: 
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh -r upstream

==== -b|--branch ====

Default: develop 
Sometimes OpenPLi create a new branch (typically rc) before releasing a new image. So it is sometimes asked to propose translation towards this branch if you want to have it in the announced futur image.

Example: 
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh -b rc

==== -p|--python ====

Default: python 
You can specify the name of the python runtime to launch, some system that have both Python 2.x and Python 3.x have python for 2.x and python3 for 3.x 
So if you want to run the script towards a specific python version simply use: 
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh -p python3

==== -n|--nodelete ====

Default: false 
By default the generated .pot files are deleted, but it can be interesting if you want to know where a string came from to have a look into the enigma2-py.pot or enigma2-xml.pot file.
So if you want to keep them use the option -n 
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh -n

All options can be combined as needed.

=== Git command to push my changes ===
Please first read the following wiki page to create your github account and forked OpenPLi to your own git (origin), setup your own git as upstream and those are the pre-requisite for the following steps: 
* https://wiki.openpli.org/Git-commands

Assuming that you have your git fork and git clone from the OpenPLi git (not yours!), and you have run the script, enter your local git clone:
cd enigma2/po
git branch
git remote -v

Will show you that you are now in the branch MyTranslation this branch was automatically created by the script. 
Please check that origin is the OpenPLi repository and upstream is yours and not the opposite! 
Let say that you have worked on the fr.po and are happy with the changes, you need to add it properly to your local git and push it to your online git.

git push --set-upstream upstream MyTranslation
git add fr.po
git commit -m "fr.po translation for develop branch"
git push

Then you can go to your online github and create the Pull Request (see git-command wiki).

== Difference between updateallpo.sh and updateallpo-multiOS.sh ==

updateallpo.sh is acting exactly the same way as the normal build process does to update the po and generate the mo files, with the same constraint Python 2.x is the only supported version.
It also doesn't update your local git clone, you need then to handle the git command yourself. So it is used by advanced users that are familiar with command line and git command.

updateallpo-multiOS.sh is doing more than updateallpo.sh, it update the git clone for you so you always have the very latest po files to work on for translation.
Moreover, it is also compatible with Python 2.x and Python 3.x, it auto detects the python script to use and include more checks. It is design to be used by any user that want to help us with OpenPLi translation without the need to have a Linux style operating system.

== Plugins translation ==

Plugins are spread across multiple git or subversion (svn) repositories. 
Some plugins are grouped on the same repository, here are some urls:
* https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-plugins
* https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins
Other plugins are on their creator repository. 
 
Look into the repository file for the po file (often located into plugin_name/src/locale folder) and start working on it. If the po file doesn't exist yet, then there is probably a .pot file available. Based on the .pot file, you can easily start a new translation for your language. 
Some plugins are closed-source, you need then to contact the author if you want to propose your translation services for this specific plugin.

=== How to add a new language file in https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-plugins ===

Let's say that you want to add the fa.po file into the blindscan plugin. 
Steps are (in bash shell or into git-bash): 

cd
git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-plugins
cd enigma2-plugins
cd blindscan
cd po
touch fa.po
cd ../..
./updateallpo-multiOS.sh

'''BE CAREFULL:''' you always need to launch updateallpo-multiOS.sh from the folder you find it. So don't try to launch it with full or relative path, it won't work. In other words always launch it with: ./updateallpo-multiOS.sh. For Windows users the script must be launched into git-bash (it has the same pre-requisites as for the OpenPLi translation).

Explanation: 
* We git clone the sources
* We go into the plugin po folder
* We create an empty translation file
* We update all the po file, so the newly created one will also be generated

So now you can start translating the plugins that you want. 

You can upload your translation file to OpenPLi forum: https://forums.openpli.org/forum/55-en-enduser-support/ and it will be added for you into git.

'''Remark for advanced users:''' when you create a pull request to add a new language translation, please also include the Makefile.am since the new language is added to it too in the LANGS variable . This is done automatically by updateallpo-multiOS.sh

Picons

2022-09-17T21:41:59Z

Abu Baniaz: Add details of changing User mode

[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_004.png|centre]]
----
Picons are channel logos which are linked to one or more TV channels using a service reference or a simplified version of the channel name. They can be installed on Enigma2 satellite receivers and can be downloaded from the [[Plugin_Wiki:Information | Plugins]]. They can be present in the left or right side of the screen, in the channel list and in [[Webif | Webif]]. There are a lot to choose from, they differ in style and size, example: "snp-full.220x132-190x102.light.on.transparent" like in the picture below, the green marker arrow points to the picon of the BBC in the left corner.

[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_001.jpg|centre|800px]]

You can change a few settings concerning the picons, like where the picons will appear.
Firstly, change the "User mode" from Normal to Advanced or Expert

'''Menu > Setup > System > Expert Settings > User mode'''
More details here:
https://wiki.openpli.org/Tips_and_Tweaks#Access_level_or_User_Mode

Then go to '''Main menu -> Setup -> Gui Settings -> User Interface''' and enable ''show picons in the channel selection list''.

[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_003.jpg|thumb|centre|800px|'''Show Picons in the channel selection list''']]
[[File:Plugin Wiki-Picons_002.jpg|centre|800px|]]

'''Notice''': when you install the picons in the memory of our the box, they will use quite a bit of memory size. As an alternative you can install them on external media. Also a restore of an [[Backup/AutoBackup | AutoBackup]] can take a bit more time, as the picons collection can be large, because the picons maintainers don't know which channels and satellites you will use, so there are many.

=='''Brand\Vendor related'''==
==='''Vu+ related'''===

===='''Cable Scan issue's?''' ====

There is bug with the VU+ drivers so that a scan can not be completed if tuner D is used.

This is the issue:
input3 and input2 have no input3_choices or input4_choices so the Enigma2 doesn't try to initialize them.

/proc/stb/tsmux/input1_choices:CI0 CI1 A B
/proc/stb/tsmux/input0_choices:CI0 CI1 A B
/proc/stb/tsmux/input3:A
/proc/stb/tsmux/input2:A
/proc/stb/tsmux/input1:B
/proc/stb/tsmux/input0:AA simple solution is to initialize them manually.

Temporary solution until reboot
echo -n C > /proc/stb/tsmux/input2
echo -n D > /proc/stb/tsmux/input3

Note: VU+ should add input2_choices and input3_choices nodes.

Temporary Solution, that still works after a reboot:
Install the IPK files that are posted at: https://forums.openpli.org/topic/49214-vuplus-duo2-dvb-t2-tuner-nim-tt3l10-stopped-working/page-3#entry701207
Reboot the receiver, and the scan problems are solved.

===='''Restore Splash screen for Factory bootlogo'''====

The file that can be found at the forum (see below) will place the original factory bootlogo back on your receiver. The content of the file needs to be placed on a USB pen drive. The file contains splash screens for the models: duo2, solo2, solo4k, solose, ultimo, ultimo4k, vuduo4k, uno, uno4k, uno4kse, zero, zero4k and the Duo 4K SE
You do not have to pick one of the bootlogo's, your receiver selects only the file that must be needed.

So the following steps must be taken:
# place the content of the zip file on the USB pendrive
# reboot your receiver
# flash the 'image' (this will take just a few seconds)
# when the flash is completed, remove the USB pendrive
# restart your receiver

duo2, solo2, solo4k, solose, ultimo, ultimo4k, vuduo4k, uno, uno4k, uno4kse, zero and the Duo 4K SE

Note: for some reason Vu+ changed the name of the splash file introducing the Vu Duo 4K SE from splash_cfe_auto.bin to splash_auto.bin

=='''CI module with softcam (eg. OScam), so using both and making them work together'''==
If for some reason you want to use a CI module and OScam, you will probably run into error messages. The problem or better the errors are there because CI modules are designed to work standalone. So if you want to make them working together, best practice is using the "Commoninterfaceassignment plugin”. So to let a CI work together with a softcam download and install "Commoninterfaceassignment plugin" which is located in the system section of the [[Plugin_Wiki:Information| Plugin browser]]. After installing the plugin goto '''Menu-> Setup -> SoftCam/CI -> Common Interface Assignment''' and define every channel for this CI module, that you have a subscription for. Enigma2 (OpenPLi) will then send all the other channels to the Softcam (OScam) and not to the CI module.

=='''Crash logs'''==
Crash logs are generated during a system crash, also known as a GSOD (green screen of death). The log can give insight to the probable cause of the crash. If you want help with the content of the file, you can post it on our [https://forums.openpli.org forum]. The crash log file is named like in the example below:

enigma2_crash_3891289128.log

===The location of the crash log file when there is a HDD (Harddisk) present===
Normally the crash.log file is stored in the root of the HDD so in
/media/hdd

===The location of the crash.log file without any HDD (Harddisk) present===
Normally the crash log file is stored in the
/home/root

===How to get the crash log file===
If you don't want to use the command line or telnet to get the crash.log file, you can grab it using your favorite ftp client or just use a (internet)browser. On how to do this take a look here [[Tips_and_Tweaks#Accessing_the_receiver_using_a_.28internet.29browser | accessing files on your receiver]].

=='''Debugging Enigma'''==

===Debugging from the menu===
As of OpenPLi 7.1 you can start debug mode from the menu, if you press the on/off key and hold it and a menu will appear which has the option to select '''Restart enigma in debug mode''', this will make the receiver restart and debug mode will be running in the background (you won't see this).
[[File:Problems_and_Solutions-003.jpg|frameless|centre|750px]]
Now you can start or test anything you think is not right or for some reason want to know what is happening in the background. Once you have tested what you wanted to test you can press the on/off button and hold it, a menu will appear which has the option to select '''Restart enigma in normal mode'''.
[[File:Problems_and_Solutions-004.jpg|frameless|centre|750px]]
Don't forget to do this, as debugging uses CPU power and it creates a debug file that keeps on growing as long as your debugging. The debug file that is created during debug is located at,

/home/root/enigma.20190901.debuglog

you can grab it using your favorite ftp client or just use a browser, on how to take a look here [[Tips_and_Tweaks#Accessing_the_receiver_using_a_.28internet.29browser | accessing files on your receiver]].

===Debugging from the command line===
If you want to debug and want to know what is happening in Enigma, you can start your receiver in debug mode with the following command:
root@<receiver>: init 4
root@<receiver>: ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2

To stop: Press CRTL-C. Enigma will halt. Then start enigma with:
root@<receiver>: init 3
Or reboot the receiver with:
root@<receiver>: reboot

'''Note:''' For '''debugging gstreamer''' with read actions stuff use: '''ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 GST_DEBUG=*soup*:6,*dvb*:6 enigma2''' 

====For easier reading (Less logging) use:====

ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 GST_DEBUG=*soup*:4,*dvb*:4 enigma2

====Writing debug log to a USB stick====
If for some reason your receiver reboots your debug log might be gone. Then plugin a USB stick in your receiver and use the command below, which writes the debug log to and USB stick
ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2 | tee /media/usb/enigma.log

=='''Dual tuner problems'''==
When your receiver has more than one tuner slot with 2 different tuners types, for instance DBV-T and DVB-C and you swap these tuners, then you might probably need to manually clean the nim entries in the [[Tips_and_Tweaks#Settings_file_in_OpenPLi| settings]] file and then reconfigure the tuner and perform a scan.

=='''Flickering dashed line in screen'''==
When you see a dashed flickering line on the "top" of the screen, you can cover this by pressing the menu when you are in the bouquetlist and select "cover dashed flickering line for this service".
[[File:Problems_and_Solutions-003.png|frameless|centre|750px]]

Or you can also install the plugin: '''Blackout Blind''' (enigma2-plugin-extensions-blackoutblind) this will permanently hide the dotted lines.

=='''Freeze, Lock, Halt, Hang of OpenPLi and what to do, to gain control again over your receiver'''==
When this happens, never (well only as a real last resort!!!) switch off the power or pull the power plug, this will -in time- certainly destroy the filesystem on which OpenPLi is running and as by-catch this may also destroy the filesystem of your HDD (when installed). So the best way is to login with [[Tips_and_Tweaks#Accessing_your_receiver_and_editing_files_using_the_command_line | Telnet]] and type:

root@<receiver>: init 4

This stops Enigma2 (operating system) gracefully, waiting for all it's components to stop and places Enigma2 into a "sleep" mode and then type:

root@<receiver>: init 3

This wakes enigma from the "sleeping" state and restarts the GUI (Graphical User Interface).

=='''Harddisk Check'''==
Harddrives will fail, that's just a question of time, so a check from time to time is prudent,certainly when you have switched it off using the power switch or pulled the plug, as this will mess-up the filesystem. (btw it can also be a USB stick but it has to be formated ext3 or 4). When a internal drive is present you can check it using the menu. '''Main menu -> Setup -> System -> Expert Settings -> Harddisk -> Filesystem check'''.

It needs some xpert to explain what to do if the hardrive is busy and umount does not do the trick.

=='''I cannot record with my receiver or recording with a Zapper (eg. Vu Zero / Vu Solo Se / Zero 4K)'''==
By default some Vu+ boxes are a ''zapper'', meaning you can not record with it. If you want to record with it, you can install the "pau" plugin/extension. It is located in the
''extensions'' section of the [[Plugin_Wiki| plugin browser]].

=='''HbbTV and Kodi problems'''==
HbbTV applications, browsers (Chromium) and Kodi make use of functionality of the SoC (the "processor") that is not required for enigma ("watch TV").
This functionality is in the SoC, but must also be made accessible/available for applications (which include browsers and Kodi).
The supplier does this by means of the drivers, the sources of which are not available (also known as "closed source"). Because the interface to those
drivers is not known (and we also have no sources) it cannot be otherwise than that the supplier also supplies the applications (Kodi, browsers ...).
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, it depends on the supplier. The form in which these applications are offered is usually also
without source, at least in part. This means that we are completely dependent on the supplier for the whole, if we have no sources, we cannot do anything.
Especially if we move to a newer version of OE, this can cause problems and we have seen this for years, at various levels. Sometimes we manage to get it all going, but often not.

Short summary: for applications such as Kodi and HbbTV OpenPLi is completely dependent on the supplier as in Vendor, OpenPLi cannot do anything about that, so OpenPLi cannot guarantee HbbTV and Kodi. If it works: Great! If it doesn't work then the supplier did not consider it necessary to offer it to the user in working order. Sad but true.

=='''Missing menu items or changing the access level of the configuration menu'''==
As of OpenPLi 7.0 during a fresh flash (so no backup used) during the [[Installation | Installation]] you will be asked which suer mode you want to use. Here you can choose between 3 different user modes; Normal, Advanced or Expert. Each mode will reveal more options in the Menu, so if you are missing menu items, then you can change the user mode in the menu go to '''Main Menu > Setup > System > Expert settings > User Mode'''.

=='''Movies or media files not playing'''==
To play a certain movie or media file a codec ('''CO'''der/'''DEC'''oder) is needed. When a movie file won't play in OpenPLi this codec might be "missing" and sadly there is no way to add this missing codec, because opposite to a personal computer, which can install missing codecs, a STB (SetTopBOX)/receiver uses codecs from within the chip, so if the codec needed for a certain movie file is not in the chip of the receiver you are using, it cannot play it and you cannot add this missing codec, as you cannot add anything to a silicon chip. You could try using the [[Plugin_Wiki:ServiceApp| '''ServiceApp''']].

So if you have a movie that can't be played, the only thing you can try, is to re-code it. For this you can use programs like [https://handbrake.fr/ Handbrake]. A good choice would be h264 or h265 as the video codec and mp2, mp3 or ac3 as an audio codec.

Please Note: Files like AVI and MKV are containers and say nothing about the CODEC needed to play whats inside them!!

=='''Mountmanager Problems'''==
Here are some solutions when you run into problems with mounting\sharing a medium (HDD) in your network.

===Autodetection===
As of OpenPLi 7.2 CIFS config has SMB version and security protocol autodetection, so that you no longer have to start looking for whether options have to be given, they are now entered automatically, so practically it means that the suggestions below should not be needed anymore, the system will try all options until one settings works!!

===Older vs newer Kernel===

'''Note: ''' This only accounts for OpenPLi versions below 7.2, as of version 7.2 SMB and SEC protocols are auto detected,so please do enter anything in the options:

When your box uses a kernel 3.x ('''Menu-Information-About''') and you want to mount something that has a kernel 4.x your CIFS share might fail, even though you entered the data carefully, but there is a solution.

The solution is simple, you can try the following; If you make a mount with [[MountManager | Mountmanager]], change the "mount options" from "rw" to "rw, sec=ntlm", this will lower the security standard from ntlmv2 (default with kernel 4.x and up) to ntlm.

Now exit and re-mount or Reboot your box and if this was the cause, you can now access your share.

===Older vs newer SMB Protocol===
'''Note: ''' This only accounts for OpenPLi versions below 7.2, as of version 7.2 SMB and SEC protocols are auto detected,so please do enter anything in the options:

There are several versions of the SMB protocol, v1, v2.0, v2.1 and v3. (see https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2013/10/02/windows-server-2012-r2-which-version-of-the-smb-protocol-smb-1-0-smb-2-0-smb-2-1-smb-3-0-or-smb-3-02-are-you-using/ for more in-depth information).

Recently, due to several security issues, an action has been ongoing to disable the unsafe SMBv1, not only in Windows, but also in NAS systems like Synology for example. Windows has the option to cycle through all available and allowed protocols, when you want to connect to a share, so you as a user don't notice anything and don't know which protocol is used. But the Linux kernel driver doesn't. It connects using the version it has been configured with, and if you, as a user, need a different version, you will need to specify this in the mount options.

Up to kernel v4.13 (at the moment of writing all supported receivers), the default was SMBv1, after that, the default has been upgraded to SMBv3. So if your box has a kernel older than 4.13, and your "server" doesn't support SMBv1, you need to specify the version on the mount. Likewise, if your box runs 4.13 or higher, and your "server" doesn't support SMBv3, you also need to specify the version on the mount.

The solution is to change the SMB version used to mount, to do this in [[MountManager | Mountmanager]] change the "mount options" from "rw" to "rw, vers=3.0" or whatever version you want to mount. You might have to try a few, if you don't know which one your server supports, always start with the highest version.

This is a good overview on this subject: https://www.happyassassin.net/2017/11/03/linux-kernel-4-13-and-smb-protocol-version-fun/

The same is true for the authentication mechanism used to setup a share/mount. This used to be NTLM, but in Kernel 3.8 the default has changed to NTLMv2, as Windows no longer supports NTLM (also because of security issues). So depending on the version and configuration of Windows (especially Windows Server), you might need to specify an alternative mechanism on the command line too.

'''Note:''' For the Dutch, also have a look here https://forums.openpli.org/topic/71313-bestaande-en-werkende-cifs-mounts-werken-nu-niet-meer-in-72rc/page-5#entry1114216

'''So as explained above, if the protocol version that the box uses differ from the server side, then no connection is possible without additional actions.'''
----
If you have a server that does not support SMBv2, you can force a connection to SMBv1 on the box by adding vers=1.0 to the mount options
If you have a server that does not support NTLMssp, you can change it by adding sec=ntlmv2 or sec=ntlm to the mount options on the box

What works is a matter of trying, you may even need both. See below is an example on connecting to a Synology that "still" uses Samba version 1 and security NTLM:

[[File:Problems_and_Solutions-005.jpg|frameless|centre|750px]]
[[File:Problems_and_Solutions-006.jpg|frameless|centre|750px]]

=='''Multiboot crash - Boot loop '''==

If you make use of multiboot and somehow get stuck at boot, by let's say a GSOD (Green Screen of Death) you can try to login your box/receiver with telnet and try the following:

mkdir /tmp/t
mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /tmp/t
cd /tmp/t

Because the '''Edision OS mio ...''' uses mmcblk1... this throws an error and you can try this:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p3 /tmp/t
cd /tmp/t

You should then see in this directory several startup files. If you eg want to start image in slot 1 do

cp STARTUP_1 STARTUP

If you want to start image in slot 2 then

cp STARTUP_2 STARTUP

And so on, then reboot the box.

On the AB PULSe 4K:
- turn it off with the back power switch.
- Point the RCU to it and press the power button of the RCU (keep it pressed).
- turn on the back power switch (while still pressing the RCU power button don't release it).
- When the boot selection screen is displayed release the RCU power button and select the slot you want to boot to.

If you want to flash from the Bootmenu insert the USB stick with the .zip image file on the back USB slot (it doesn't work on the front one!).

Remark this doesn't work with the front panel power button you really need to use the RCU.

=='''Reset lost password'''==
In case you have lost your box password or someone else has been so 'funny' to create a password without having informed you, there are several ways to solve this issue.

===Install the "setpasswd" plugin===
Easiest way is to install a plugin and reset or delete your password. Goto Main menu -> Plugin browser and press the green button "download plugins" goto systemplugins and goto setpasswd and press ok on your remote to install it. After you installed goto Main menu -> Setup -> System -> Change Root Password and press the red button to delete it.

===Using the command line method 1===
I assume that you still have access via Explorer with \\boxname or \\ipaddressbox. If not, then the only 'solution' to get access again is to flash your box which is actually not a solution.
# Go to the map /etc where you find the file shadow.
# If you owe another Enigma2 box then go to the map \etc and copy there that file 'shadow'.
# Go to the box with the unknown password and paste the just copied file from the other box over your present version of shadow.

===Using the command line: method 2 ===
There is a second scenario to solve this.
# Go to the map /etc where you also find the file passwd.
# Select and edit the file passwd with right mouse button and select a proper editer. I use Notepad ++
# In this file the line: root: x: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh or something as root: EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh is the actual PW. The Password field is x or the encrypted string EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW
# Delete the x or the string The line is now following: root :: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh
# Save / overwrite this file and exit Notepad ++.

=='''Satellites.xml returning-over-and-over'''==
The default satellites.xml is in the image, and is under version control. So it will be overwritten everytime you do an update.

This is the standard situation:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 531573 Jun 6 02:01 /etc/tuxbox/satellites.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 9 19:28 /etc/satellites.xml -> /etc/tuxbox/satellites.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 9 19:28 /usr/share/satellites.xml -> /etc/tuxbox/satellites.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 9 19:28 /usr/share/tuxbox/satellites.xml -> /etc/tuxbox/satellites.xml

You see that /etc/tuxbox is the file that is provided by the image and is versioned, the others are not present by default, and are symlinked to the versioned file.

If you have a custom file, you should place it in /etc/enigma2, and it will take precedence over the system file in /etc/tuxbox. If you don't, and overwrite the system file, it will be removed and overwritten with a new system the next time you run an update.

=='''<N/A> in a bouquet list'''==
When you have a <N/A> in your channel (bouquet) list there is a mismatch between 2 files
lamedb
and
satellites.xml.
You can not solve this by a scan or downloding a settings list, because when you scan (which happens on the basis of the satellites.xml) the lamedb is updated with the wrong service refs. This way the entry that is in the bouquet file can no longer be found in the lamedb and thus yields an <N/A>.

What you will need to do is remove the file
satellites.xml

which normally is located in

/etc/tuxbox/satellites.xml

and delete it. Then install a new one.

opkg update
opkg install tuxbox-common --force-reinstall

=='''Splash screen replacement'''==
The splashscreen is written in a limited reserved space of flash. We believe that the splash screen is not intended to be image specific, it should just show the manufacturer and/or box type information. The dimensions and type of splash file supported by the bootloader, differ per brand, and possibly even per box.
We advice to stay away from that, leave the splash screen to the bootloader, and the manufacturer.

If by some reason, let's say another image, has changed it, you can restore it to the one from the manufacturer. Do a search on the OpenPLi site using Google and type:

splash screen site:openpli.org

=='''Time, if you have problems getting the correct time'''==

[[File:Problems and Solutions-007.jpg|frameless|centre|750px]]

'''Please note''': As of OpenPLi 8.1 systemtime is integrated in OpenPLi and by default enabled, so you don't have to install it separately (as suggested below) anymore. If for some reason you want to change the settings goto '''Menu -> Setup -> System -> Customize''' (scroll way down to the bottom). You can choose between Auto - Transponder Time (satellite) Internet.
----

Method for OpenPLi 8.0 and below:

There are 2 solutions, if somehow you don't have the right time on you receiver, using the internet or use the transponder of a satellite.

===Internet===
Here you install a plugin called Systemtime, it is in '''Main menu > Pluginbrowser > Download plugins > Systemplugins''' and uses NTP, just like your desktop PC, to get the time from an internet time server, so after installing it, it will be in '''Main menu > Setup > Sytem''' and there are various settings.

===Satellite===
OpenPLi will, at startup retrieve the time from a transponder, so if you have a satellite setup, it is wise to make use of the [https://wiki.openpli.org/index.php/Hidden_functions#Startup_ServiceStartup service]. By doing so and choosing a reliable transponder (=channel) you will always have the right time. For the Dutch, choosing an NPO channel will be a good choice.

=='''Unsupported receiver! How to request OpenPLi team to support a new receiver brand or model?'''==
When your receiver is not supported by OpenPLi and you want it to be supported, what now? So before we can support any type of receiver, there have to be a few requirements met:

#'''It must be an opensource receiver.''' - So not closed source.
#'''It must be an Enigma2 receiver.''' - As we only support OpenEmbedded ([https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/ReleasesYocto project]) boxes running Enigma2. This is essential of course as Enigma2 is the operating system that OpenPLi runs on.
#'''The manufacturer/vendor has to ask us, so not the other way around!''' - As in the manufacturer/vendor has to mail OpenPLi to request support for this type/brand of receiver.
#'''The manufacturer/vendor has to provide us (as in the OpenPLi team) with a functioning BSP layer.''' - A BSP ('''B'''oard '''S'''upport '''P'''ackage) contains, among other things, the drivers needed to build OpenPLi for your receiver.
#'''We need interaction with the development team of the manufacturer/vendor.''' - The manufacturer needs to create the BSP and we need to be able to report and get driver bugs fixed, which is the reason we '''NEVER''' accept requests from end-users, we '''ONLY''' accept support requests from the manufacturer/vendor!

=='''USB memory sticks working or not'''==
When you want to use an USB memory stick, lets say for flashing your box with OpenPLi, there is no way of telling your stick might work, it's trial and error! Because the USB detection system in the bootloader of your receiver is very simple, there are 2 things to consider:

#It has a short device detection time, which is as it should be, because a long device detection time could result in an annoying long booting procedure. This (short device detection) causes devices whose detection takes (too) long (usb3 devices, large sticks) not to be seen in time.
#It takes the first device that is found and if you've connected multiple devices, chances are that it's not the device you want to use.

Generally speaking, small old USB sticks with less than 1Gb have a bigger change to work.
