[all] New PLi® Flubber images

[hemertje]

 

 

The Flubber suite includes the following components:

 

- 2.6.9 kernel

- 2.6.9-dream-s8 kernel for the 7020

- 1.09 enigma (28-07-2006)

- 1.1.0 Head.ko

- Front Processor version 1.06 for DM7000

- Front Processor version 1.01 for DM7020

- Squashfs 2.2-r2 with LZMA-compression for the dm5xx(x) and dm7000 boxes

- Tuxtxt v1.98

- Web Interface: 5.9.7-Expert - PLi edition

 

Some of the new features in Flubber:

 

- MultiEPG has been updated to show a Picture in Graphic (PiG).

This works for the dm7000 and dm7020 boxes.

Unfortunately, due to hardware limitations, the dm5xx(x) boxes do not support PIG.

A placeholder will be shown instead.

Flubber includes a special fix to also make this work for NTSC systems.

The event genre is now also shown in the event description window (when available).

Now in Flubber you can even use '<' and '>' to quickly jump backward / forward in time.

 

- Flubber supports reading 32-bit (!) png images as skin images and writing 32-bit osdshots.

The Enigma internal picture viewer now works in 32-bit colormode for dm7000 and dm7020,

and 8-bit mode for dm5xx(x), which now at least allows to show images on dm5xx(x).

Scaling, resizing, and pan images has also been implemented.

 

- The Skin/OSD on dm7000 and dm7020 still defaults to 8-bit colormode,

but a 32-bit version of the default skin (MediaPLi) is available,

to enjoy the pleasure of a full 32-bit OSD.

The reason for not setting the default to 32-bit,

is that several boxes show occasional green glitches in the mpeg stream,

while they are in 32-bit mode. As it seems due to hardware/driver limits.

We suggest you try for yourself how your 70x0 box works with 32-bit,

so it is up to you to use either the 8-bit or 32-bit version of our revolutionary MediaPLi skin.

Note that we have hugely improved the 8-bit possibilities for skins,

by parsing palette colors from the skin images.

So owners of 8-bit boxes are certainly not left behind.

 

 

As of this version you can choose where EPG data will be stored.

Until now, this data was always stored in memory.

When large amounts of EPG data were read,

performance of the box degraded, due to lack of free memory.

Within Flubber you can choose between two storage locations:

 

- EPG Memory store: The conventional way of epg data storage. This is the default.

- EPG SQLite store: Data is stored in a SQLite database, which resides in a file.

 

The EPG SQLite store supports storing over a network! (e.g. via CIFS).

 

- Skin:

 

* for skindevelopers: introduction of the 'c' specification for centered positioning.

This makes it easier to develop TV-system independent skins.

The 'c' takes the center postion of the parent (client)rectangle.

Use it in the same way as the 'e' specification.

To center a widget of 500 by 300 pixels position="c-250:c-150" size="500:300".

 

* Now support gauges for progress bars.

Both gauges and progress bars do support images, again,

the MediaPLi skin demonstrates what is currently possible with your new Flubber image.

 

- Commercial skip: use the '<' and '>' (next to '0' key)

to quickly skip 15 seconds back or 60 seconds

forward in the recording you are currently playing

 

- Added possibility to move /var to CF card

 

- Proper support for NTSC in OSD.

The default MediaPLi skin is properly set so all OSD screens do fit for both PAL and NTSC.

Furthermore, all built-in enigma windows are centered, on PAL as well as NTSC.

(note that when a widget is defined with a height > 480 there is nothing we can do for NTSC)

 

- Reintroduced asking for TV system:

Now users again can select their TV-system (PAL/NTSC) after flashing,

making it easier to properly configure PLi in the setup wizard.

 

- Added the genoSUAVE North American satellites lists (DishPro / Legacy)

 

- And we have done even more for our N.A. users:

with Flubber, PLi now fully supports the USA DishNetwork EPG.

Dish EPG is fully integrated into PLi's enigma,

so all currently available EPG viewers will automatically be able to use it.

(thx to the Nitro team for the Dish decryption routines)

 

- The used satellites.xml is now dependent on the timezone which is selected at first startup.

After selecting a timezone the satellites.xml used in that area will be copied to /var/etc.

For now only Europe and North America are available.

 

- On zap an optional minizap OSD is shown.

This OSD will go away after a timeout.

When 'OK' is pressed, the minizap will expand to the full infobar.

This is nicely demonstrated in the default MediaPLi skin.

 

- Removed camx/serverng softcam/cardserver and added CCcam v1.2.1 as default in the dm5xx(x) boxes.

CCcam is in "ROM" now (and not removable).

 

- The minimal dm5xx(x) VAR-size is now 27%! Achieved by moving CCcam to "ROM"

 

- PPanel:

* download fix, now via eHTTP

* downloads can be aborted now

* installed packages are marked in the download menu

* software management is refreshed after download of a new menu

* added support for mp3, streaming mp3, video files and text files

* added download indicatorbar

* remove manual install files (*.tar.gz) in /tmp after manual install to free memory

 

- WebIf: added Enhanced SatFinder (Zoom)

 

- Last Scanned userbouquet feature. During scanning an userbouquet

"Last Scanned" will be made for the TV,Radio and Data services.

This bouquet will show all found services.

 

- Start your plugins via the help-button on your remote. Edit the registry:

"s:/ezap/plikeyfunction=plugin#pluginname.cfg" to start your defined plugin, or

"s:/ezap/plikeyfunction=plugins" to create the same function as your yellow button.

 

- Added Rebuild Movielist (Dream - File Mode - Playlist [yellow button] - Dream - Rebuild Movielist)

 

- Fixed an off by one minute in the remaining event duration, in OSD now/next

 

- Cron job is fixed for dm5xx(x) boxes

 

- Introduced help texts for virtually all enigma windows (activated using the 'help' key on your remote)

 

- DM7020 help texts translated into English (used to be German)

 

- Removed smb-client and Samba-server from the dm7000 image,

moved to downloads in the software manager

 

- Frysk language update

 

And many more fixes & code enhancements. For more details and the Flubber downloads see:

yeps ben er ook mee bezig nu <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[headspin]

Ga hem er meteen op laten "glibberen" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

 

Bijvoorbaat mijn dank <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/xyxthumbs.gif" alt="" />

[Absurd]

Ik ben benieuwd, cheers M8

[CAPTAIN PICARD]

Ziet er goed uit, leuke dingen erin.

 

Ken iemand dit testen, met PLi® Flubber op een DM7000.

 

Op 16 oost op FTA kanaal NRG TV gaan staan, even wachten.

En dan kijken of er iets raars gebeurd.

Als er wat gebeurd zie je het in een seconde of 10.

[Mrbeam]

PLi setup: Allow to optinally show SNR in dB instead of %. Default is %

 

Waar kan ik dit vinden?

[Gast]

Moet de boot manager speciaal images van usb halen.

 

Kan het namelijk niet veranderen naar HDD geeft op de Web interface een Error on page melding. is er mischien een config file die met de hand in te stellen is.

 

Via web werkt niet

 

Voor derest prima Image <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/xyxthumbs.gif" alt="" />

[Gast]

Geachte mede leden,

Zou mij iemand kunnen zeggen of het lege G doosje ook in de image is verwerkt.

Dit zou voor mij zeer welkom zijn.

 

Bij voorbaat dank.

goed gelezen...
maar dit is er voor de officiele release uitgehaald
het was een intern experimentje
misschien bijn de volgende release
heb het inmiddels uit de relnotes gehaald om verdere verwarring te verkomen...

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/xyxthumbs.gif" alt="" />

[Mrbeam]

Ik zie namelijk veel liever dB's dan procenten.

 

Ander verzoekje:

de mogelijkheid om bij de ip-settings ook een proxy server en poort in te geven.

 

Verder leuke img met name de nieuwe skin kan ik erg waarderen.

[drz]

Verrot dat PLi geen images maakt voor de 7025.

Toch wel weer balen dat ik mijn 7020 de deur uit heb gedaan...

[Roodkapke]

Niks verrot aan hoor.

Wij willen wel, het wachten is op DMM en de bekende redenen.

 

Groeten,
