root@et8000:~#

 

I'm trying to install dvboptions plugin on my new ET8000, but the plugin does'nt work fine.

After restarting enigma2, it appears correctly on plugins list, but I can not save changes, because the green key (OK) doesn't work.

The red one (cancel) works fine.

Has anybody tried ?

I've found version 0.6 on xtrend-home forum, but the green key still doesn't work !!!

Possibly this plugin is not made for et8k and et10k...

[Rob van der Does]

IMHO the only important entry is the LNB-power. Maybe that setting can simply be embedded in PLi (just as fancontrol or so)?

And according to the plugin itself it should be suitable for all ET's:

 

boxtype = open("/proc/stb/info/boxtype").read().strip()
if boxtype.startswith("et4"):
boxtype = "_et4x00.conf"
if boxtype.startswith("et5"):
boxtype = "_et5x00.conf"
if boxtype.startswith("et6"):
boxtype = "_et6x00.conf"
if boxtype.startswith("et8"):
boxtype = "_et8000.conf"
if boxtype.startswith("et9"):
boxtype = "_et9x00.conf"
if boxtype.startswith("et10"):
boxtype = "_et10000.conf"

[Rob van der Does]

Meaning LNB power is always on?

[jpuigs]

Sorry, I wasn't online.

I got the same as  SatKiekerd

Indeed no lnb power in standby, the only reason for me to use this pkugin.

Then, Is it driver's problem ?

[Dimitrij]

Then, Is it driver's problem ?

No.
Lack of this feature as a class.

[jpuigs]

And how could be solved ?

[betacentauri]

It can only be solved by driver developer.

[pieterg]

I never understood why you would want to keep the lnb enabled, while the tuners are not in use. Just a waste of power.
Looks like they finally got rid of that option.

[Rob van der Does]

For a loopthrough to an other box? Hence the (potential) option to enable/disable it?

[jpuigs]

No, I don't want to keep LNB enabled when tuners are noy in use.

But now I've done some tests and I see that LNB power is OFF when a tuner is not used with this box (ET8000).

So i don't really need that plugin with this receiver. It's my second day using this receiver.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but other receivers (ET9000 f.i.) without using this plugin keep power on LNB port although it's not used. That's why I had this plugin installed on other boxes.

For loopthrough, you need the inactive output to be disabled.
When you have both outputs enabled in a loopthrough situation, it'll conflict (and the power supply with the lowest output impedance will win)
