View Full Version : Webbrowser for Ultimo

As you may know, VU+ launched a webbrowser for all their boxes some time ago. It's a huge package, that is integrated in their (official) images. Although we (= Andy) are doing our best to provide a plugin as optional functionality, we didn't yet succeed in that.
There is however an alternative way to get the browser installed on your Ultimo, following the guidelines beneath (thanks to Ralf):
First of all download the install package (www.rbsoft.de/web.zip)
Installation procedure of the VU+ WebBrowser:
1- FTP the folder VU_HD to usr/share/enigma2
2- Copy all the other files to /tmp
3- Login with Telnet, CD/TMP and execute in the following order
opkg install lib*.ipk
opkg install qt4*.ipk
opkg install vu*.ipk
opkg install enigma*.ipk
The order is important because lib* and qt4* are dependencies and must be installed first.
After a reboot the webbrowser is available via the plugin browser.
Although the browser is supposed to be functional on the UNO & DUO as well, this is not the case using UBIFS (i.e. not using an image that is based on the 3.1.1 kernel).
I hope VU+ will be busy implementing HBTV: much more interesting!

It also works with Pli
It can be installed with /tmp/

On PLi exactly the same installation procedure is required as mentioned above.
Seems to work fairly well with basic web pages. I was hoping that it would support BBC iplayer, but unfortunately not.
Has anyone tried using it with a keyboard/mouse combo? If so, which?
Cheers, Lee

Yes I have: all Logitech keyboads & mice using the 'Unifying' receiver should work.

If you did indeed copy all the files to /tmp, you probably didn't do the CD/TMP

Just like in the old days in DOS. First:
cd ..
then
cd ..
then
cd tmp
and now you can install the packages.

Not quite like dos. Need to ensure you put the spaces in. Dos used to just ignore fact your didn't put in spaces :p
Also, could just do command you did before, but putting a space between cd and /tmp:
cd /tmp

Hi jfk,
now your are on the right track. "Could not lock /usr/lib/opkg/lock" simply means that there is a pending operation for pükg. Try it again and/or reboot your box first.

Thank you so very much Rob!!!:thumbsup:
I have been trying to get a functional webbrowser with the AAF-image (1.0) - googling and trying to install extensions through the Ultimo directly. Either the receiver just refuse to install with no error message or errorlogging explaining lack of components - escaping. Your receipe made my day :)
Yours kindly,
matssss
