Satellite List

[micscave]

I'm up & running sort of. I'm using DreamElite 1.3.2 with my motorised on tuner A and fixed dish on tuner B looking at astra. .I've scanned in the astra channels just to check out that the picture looks ok but what is the best way to get a satellite list onto the box.
Is there a sat list plugin ?

I've also tried to FTP the latest Cajton list to the box but I'm not really sure about that caper yet.
I open DreamBoxEdit & choose FTP. I've made sure it can see the box. I then choose the folder via the browse button. I can see the file in the local directory but when I hit the send files to dreambox button I get an error message (last bit) contains no "services or lamedb" file. I've looked in the folder and there is a lamedb file. I also have a tick in the Auto Reload Settings Enigma2 box.

Any ideas fellas as I'm trying to save time after my mammouth 14 hour first flash episode yesterday ?

Many thanks

Damn no edit button *mammoth

Check out this post. You need to click on the lamedb file to open the settings/bouquets in Dreamboxedit. Once open press the FTP button in dreamboxedit.

Cheers sic, nearly there with that info, however when I hit the send files to dreambox button I get this in the FTP Log :
Connecting to 192.168.1.6.
Connected.
Could not login to Dreambox. Check username and password.
Disconnecting.
Disconnected.


Now I seem to remember reading about this elsewhere in another thread. Do I need to change username & password ? If so , how ?
Sorry about all the questions but this is my first linux experience.

Cheers

by default the password field is empty. sometimes u need to set a password so that ftp can work correctly. to set a password use telnet.

Dreamboxedit works fine just with the username root. Check that you've set the profile correctly in dreamboxedit for your vu+.

I've just tried to look at the screenshot in your basic setup procedure for dummies guide but i have a red x where the pic should be. Strange as I was looking at it earlier.

here's what I have in options/profiles : ip address is correct and ports are set to default (80 & 21)
if I test ip connection it is successful
if I test username & password i get : could not login to username "root" & password "dreambox"
check the username & password & try again.

In FTP type I have a dot in passive should it be in active ?

Cheers

leave the password blank. Remove dreambox in the password field, unless you've set a password in your current image.

Ok i removed dreambox from password field but have to leave root as username. The file is loaded up and i hit send files to dreambox and i get ib the ftp log :
Connected.
Dreambox response: Login successful.
** Getting directory list /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/* **
Starting FTP transfer
Transfer complete
** Sending file "/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/lamedb" **
Starting FTP transfer
Transfer aborted
Error sending file "lamedb" to the Dreambox.
Disconnecting.
Disconnected.

Puzzled, any ideas sic ?

Check your IP number for your vu box m8-make sure all programs that use or need your box ip number all have the same one -Such Dreambox Edit, DCC-

Also with regards to password i had a few problems with it

So using DCC program select Telnet then type passwd & enter

Give box new password
Enter password again & should see line of new password changed

Then start up DCC or Dreambox Edit type in new password

Then try accessing box -hope this helps

When you save the profile in Dreamboxedit, click on version 3 engima2, then click save. Look at the file paths in this screenshot: -

Cheers mate that worked. Sent me dish all the way west whilst looking for thor though. My usuals settings are correct I think so I gotta look into this a bit further.

Thanks everyone for your help & I guess you'll be hearing from me again soon, I've not even looked into cccam yet lol.

[JimEvo2]

I should have read this page before posting my own stuff ! LOL

Anyway I've learnt a bit, now how do I update the bouquets and get into this ftp' ing stuff ?

Hi mates

I use Dreamset to load my settings into the vu+ quite simple to do once loaded go to set-up and input

Config Title : name u may give your VU+

Box IP : 192.xxx.xxx.xxx (your vu+ IP)

User Name : Root

Password : leave blank or input set password

firmware: leave as custom

software: enigma2 ver4

satellite xml: /var/tuxbox/

services Bouquets : /var/etc/enigma2

FTPport: 21
Http port: 80 These should be default
telnet port: 23

Once done u can test the config if all goes well a pop up box will say IP & pw are ok sat xml & service ok and that the box is using engigma 2 ver4. once u have this message all is ok then save your config.

Now all u need to do is open a setting file (lamedb) of your choice and edit the birds you dont wish to have when your happy with all that u done then just click on tranfer and write this will send the data to your vu+ reboots your box but i have found it best to restart again after just to make sure. dreamset is a very easy program to use to edit add pids and transponders etc why not give it a go

Send the settings again with Dreamboxedit, but this time when you press FTP make sure the box 'Remove unused bouquets from Dreambox' is checked. See screenhot below ;)

Cheers for that. I saw that but wasn't sure. If I send your file over & I already have a different one in the box, do I use that option too, or is it just if you're sending one that has already been on before.

Many thanks

Always check that box if your sending settings/bouquets packs over, otherwise you could end up with duplicates.

Cheers sic, learning all the time.

im having the same problem with dreamboxedit.im quite converse with the program and for whatever reason it will not connect.i just keep getting " failed to connect to dreambox IP ......" even though used telnet to set a password and i can connect with flashxp.
i read through the thread but i might just me missing something as to why .

Have another read of post no.11 of this thread and also this guide http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?623-How-to-send-save-Enigma-Settings-to-the-VUDuo-using-DBEdit ;)

[Conaxthewarrior]

After some time , I have managed to recieve and upload files to my VU+ Duo using dreambox edit but I get a "failed to connect to dreambox" error returned when clicking the "test ip connection" button. Strange, since there must be a connection as I can download / upload files, so why the "failed connection" answer? Any ideas anyone?
