dm920 - Python3 - openPLi (homebuild)
- Thread starter satpong
- Start date
Hello everyone,
it seems i finally found a way to make my box set the rtc reliably (image of 20240629, the newer ones do not startup here):
I saw these lines in var/log/messages, about 16 to 18 seconds after power on, close to the point in time where, on a successful rtc clock update, the time changes from 1st of Jan to the correct date:
Jan 1 01:00:16 dm920 daemon.info avahi-daemon[609]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv6 with address fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx.
Jan 1 01:00:16 dm920 daemon.info avahi-daemon[609]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv6 with address 2001:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy.
Jan 1 01:00:16 dm920 daemon.info avahi-daemon[609]: Registering new address record for 2001:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy on eth0.*.
Jan 1 01:00:16 dm920 daemon.info avahi-daemon[609]: Withdrawing address record for fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx on eth0.
Since this was for IPv6 only, and not IPv4, i disabled IPv6 with a plugin i found in the xxxxxx forum (hope posting a link is ok here, otherwise g...gle for dm920 ipv6 disable):
(Installed via Menu-Plugins-Software Management-Install local extension)
And Bingo: Since installing this, the rtc seems to be set after every reboot
And additionally, the call to ntpd i added in /etc/init.d/rc (see my last post), is unnecessary
I hope one of the experts here can make use of this.
For me it looks like the ntp daemon sometimes has a problem with a changing IPv6 address.
I really would like to use the new openpli/homebuild images
Thanks for your time

Hello Everyone, hello Satpong,
my dm920 does now start, with image 20240707.
I had to make 2 minor changes in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/NimManager.py
The variable 'model' seems to be unknown in 2 sections.
I added 'model = BoxInfo.getItem("machine")' 2 times, see here:
1st change:
...
class NIM:
def __init__(self, slot, type, description, has_outputs=True, internally_connectable=None, multi_type={}, frontend_id=None, i2c=None, is_empty=False, supports_blind_scan=False, is_fbc=[0, 0, 0], number_of_slots=0):
nim_types = ["DVB-S", "DVB-S2", "DVB-S2X", "DVB-C", "DVB-T", "DVB-T2", "ATSC"]
if type and type not in nim_types:
print("[NIM] warning: unknown NIM type %s, not using." % type)
type = None
model = BoxInfo.getItem("machine") # 20240710 ws
self.slot = slot
...
2nd change:
...
def enumerateNIMs(self):
# enum available NIMs. This is currently very dreambox-centric and uses the /proc/bus/nim_sockets interface.
# the result will be stored into nim_slots.
# the content of /proc/bus/nim_sockets looks like:
# NIM Socket 0:
# Type: DVB-S
# Name: BCM4501 DVB-S2 NIM (internal)
# NIM Socket 1:
# Type: DVB-S
# Name: BCM4501 DVB-S2 NIM (internal)
# NIM Socket 2:
# Type: DVB-T
# Name: Philips TU1216
# NIM Socket 3:
# Type: DVB-S
# Name: Alps BSBE1 702A
#
# Type will be either "DVB-S", "DVB-S2", "DVB-T", "DVB-C" or None.
# nim_slots is an array which has exactly one entry for each slot, even for empty ones.
self.nim_slots = []
model = BoxInfo.getItem("machine") # 20240710 ws
try:
nimfile = open("/proc/bus/nim_sockets")
except IOError:
return
...
After this , enigma2 starts reliably here !
(However, rtc setting by disabling IPv6 is still necessary here)
And the best of all:
So far, i could'nt configure the fbc tuners in a way that made the box do recordings/zapping/etc. reliable on a sat connection, as it was with the old NN2 images.
In NN2, the 2 fbc twin tuners are shown as 4 tuners (A1, B1, A2, B2)
With the openpli/satpong images til 20240629, i saw 16 tuners (A..P), and no configuration was reliable, so i used this box only for streaming.
But now, there are also shown 4 Tuners (A,B,I,J)
I will try the next days if recording/zapping/etc is better now.
If so, the openpli/satpong images would be a perfect replacement for NN2, at least for me.
Thanks for your attention

Hi, at the moment I don't have the remote control device but the card is in the decoder, see the LED is working.
Well I guess that just means the card is powered.

I hope you can test with the remote if you're planning to buy one.

Hi, thanks for your feedback
Can you test if it works without your addition.
Delete your lines and just add , model to NimManager line # 3
from Components.SystemInfo import BoxInfo, model
----------------------------------------------------------
I was testing some patches to make blindscan work for BCM45308X tuner
That's why NimManager has changed in my latest image.
I'll revert it in my next image build.
----------------------------------------------------------
For time you can try fake-hwclock
Plugin doesn't work as it should for me, stays on wrong time.
opkg install fake-hwclock

Should work if you have a dreamos image in flash memory and the drivers installed.
Then it works in BA installed openimage.

Hello Satpong,
i removed my changes, made your change as requested
from Components.SystemInfo import BoxInfo, model
and made 2 more changes in SystemInfo.py:
---
BoxInfo = BoxInformation()
model = BoxInfo.getItem("machine") # moved this line away from beginning of setBoxInfoItems() to here
--
Success now !

@satpong
As you have expected, recording/zapping problems (stuttering, 'tuning failed', corrupted or stopped recordings) still persisted here (image 20240707).
In the Menu/Info/About pictures you post here from time to time, there is no BCM45308X tuner listed.
Would it help your tests if i would lend you one of mine ?

I don't have that tuner and I don't have a satellite dish. Thanks anyway
Forget about image 20240707. Everything has been restored to how it was before.
Install a previous image and do an online image upgrade or wait for next image build.
