    Now if it's possible ,cdo you know how?
    Clearly, since I said I've written one...
    and if you do are you wiling to tell me?
    ...and I've successfully searched my archive to find it.

    The problem is that it needs a compiler to build it (Vix doesn't actually come with one, but it's simple to get one) and you need to be able to set an environment variable just for the application which actually checks the MAC address.

    I'm assuming that this is a MIPS chipset (difficult to determine from a quick web search - it has a Broadcom 7424 chipset, but the Broadcom web site fails to mention the architecture for it!).

    So if you PM me the MAC address you want, and the physical name of the network interface (eth0, wlan0,...) I'll compile it for you.

    I had a solo 2 that reported no Mac address & used kill certain routers.
    There was a network file on the box you could edit to spoof a Mac address, can't remember what it was tho but should be an easy solution.

    I'm away at the moment so can't check any e2 box, but as far as I remember the VU vix builds come with a set Mac address option since then.
    If you can find out which file that alters, you might be sorted.

    No, it won't. He wants to be able to run box A with the MAC from box B. That means that any and every time he wishes to do this he has to:

    • switch off B and ensure it stays off (no waking up for any recording)
    • start up A
    • login to A and edit the MAC-setting file
    • reboot A
    • use A
    • when finished using A, login to A and edit the MAC-setting file back to its own seeing
    • switch off or reboot A

    So how do you use your IPTV links through bouquets or through some plugin?

    Shouldn't need to set it every time.

    Try something like this in telnet when logged into the box:

    Code:
    ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:01:02:03:04:05 up
    Replace 00:01:02:03:04:05 with the MAC address you want.
    If it works, find the startup script to put it in.

    Which would then leave him with two systems with the same MAC address when they are both on at the same time.
    Which, assuming they are on the same network, isn't going to work.

    I haven't tested this so make image backup beforehand...

    edit: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/nfsroot

    Below the 'nfsroot=0' line add following:
    Code:
    if [ "$IFACE" = "eth0" ]; then
    /sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    fi
    Obviously change xx, etc to mac you wish.

    As mentioned by others, you can't have same mac on same network at same time so ensure other box if powered off.

    It also assumes you're using eth0 interface which for LAN connection then you likely are. If WiFi then you may have to amend 'eth0' line accordingly (use 'ifconfig' to get details of interface name).

    On OpenVIX I just looked in

    /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and see this inside hwmac

    if [ -f /etc/enigma2/hwmac ]; then
    macadr=`cat /etc/enigma2/hwmac`

    That then tells me another hwmac file in /etc/enigma2 with just mac in with chmod 755, restarted box and then mac was changed to the mac I chose to emulate my Stalker subs (with no clashes in network router macs), then restarted box

    Thats all I did anyways, easy peasy.

    Note - this was done on Octagon SF8008 and Mutant HD51 not the machine you are asking for and just what I did.

    thanks

    On my Duo2 I can change the Mac in Menu, Setup, Network, Device Setup!
    Network MAC settings...

    I made a note of my original mac before changing to another on my network & yes there was a conflict which was resolved by placing the other box on the same mac in this case my Vu Duo into Deep Standby.

    And yes I was able to achieve what you desired. (Run a certain plugin on 2 devices via the same mac)

    And I returned to the original mac after I completed the test...

    That change Network Mac settings is on all images I use, bar OpenVIX and OpenPli, and OpenEight on SF8008

    OpenATV/PurE2/OpenHDf/OpenDroid/OpenSPA etc all have change network mac in Network menus.

    Maybe its something OpenVIX could consider adding into there images in future?
