Does anyone know what the audio button is on the android side is? I can let people know that the yellow button in e2 brings up the audio and you can also use the help button to scroll down to audio. Just unsure on the andoid side. If there is a way to use the smart keys that may also be another option but i have not tested it yet.
I could not find an "audio button" in Android mode. I think I tried every button on the remote too. Another bug!!!

The button with 3 dots should be audio (you can change it in the hotkeys area).

Yes, that is the procedure I used to restore the official v5.00 Android image. However, the qviart link to the firmware no longer works. I also had to use an old 4GB USB rather than my new fast Kingstone 64GB USB stick. It seems the box is very picky on which USB sticks it can read in this mode. Otherwise the Kingstone 64GB works fine in this box.

However, recording some encrypted channels in Android mode is another major bug (does not work).
The icam channels seem to be the issue, I have tested on other encryptions on 16e and 19e and they work for me. The front usb slot is usb 2 and it would not see my new 256gb usb flash drive but it see's it fine in the rear usb 3 slot.

It seems to be the Stream Relay channels cause recording issues non stream relay channels will record but are sometimes have missing audio.

These and the scanning issues with the box locking up need to be put right.

The recordings that have missing audio, you can bring up the media player infobar (or whatever you want to call it), press up, then right, to get to the : icon, then ok and more options show up, including selecting audio track.

Pain in the arse, but atleast you can get the audio then.

I'm told that the "special" channels are "protected" so can not be recorded.

I pointed out it's not an issue with other boxes (viark sat 4k, drs2 etc etc), so they will look into it.

If you put your chosen image zip file on a usb stick then put it in the front usb slot. In openatv press menu , software management, then flash local/online image then push the green button to expand and your new image should be there select it and it then should ask you what slot you want to allocate the image to. Once done press standby and click multi-boot and chose which image you want to boot in to.

You need to read the whole thread, the Dual has many bugs particularly on the android side, all these bugs have been reported and they are being worked on but it will take some time as it needs Chipset manufacturer support. I believe it will get there.

The E2 side has the odd bug but on the whole in operation it is fine. New E2 drivers are needed.

I spent the evening last night playing with the dual. It was an interesting time, I was messing around with the blind scan on the android side testing as I have heard that there could be issues of it hanging and not responding., In testing i find that the blind scan does seem to work other than if you select all channels. I think it runs out of memory when all channels are selected. (I could be completely wrong but during tests previously it hung at around 9 mins when selecting all channels). Selecting hd or scrambled channels see's the dual fly-through. Whilst I was testing the box another thing I could not get the dish to drive to 19e. It kept going to 13e and then to 28e. So i eventually reloaded ferrets channel list. I found the channel list had to be in a folder on the usb as having the database on the root of the usb stick it would not see it. I would be interested to see if the sky de channels on 19.2 are showing up in anyone's channel list as the one i uploaded did not have them. I did a blind scan and found loads of new transponders and when scanning them lots of sky de all came in. After the scan was done I put the channels into a-z order and they disappeared 🤣 Anyone like to check this with me. Another issue i found was the audio button that was working on the 3dots has vanished too.

On the E2 side when i boot out of android and go say to mtv 80's on thor booting into openatv the picture seems to be zoomed in each time. A quick change of channels cures the problem :cool:

At least its a bit of fun.

I've noticed before loading different channel lists, that sometimes a reboot is needed before the list is actually updated.

You know what mate that is great info on the scanning, i put it down to when it adds the TP's to the database it can lock. As you say it is could well be a memory issue.

Ive a couple of videos to do on the dual in the morning then i will try a full arc scan with HD only and not All Channels under the blind scan option.

If it comes off i might post the list.

On my list it did have the DE channels scanned in as i tested all the stream relay stuff as i scanned them in. Ill have to revisit that list and see what has gone on. Strange the A-Z sort made them disappear. That is as far as my Qviart or Viark lists go scan-a-z done :ROFLMAO:

Hello, is there anyone who has powercam-icam installed in enigma2 openatv in Qviart dual, I have it installed and the sky de channels were working, but when I made the android bot it was deleted, but now when I install only powercam it works again but when I install the version new powercam_v2-icam crashes

If anyones audio button (3 dot button) is not working then press the menu button, followed by the hot keys button, then tab down to what looks like the volumn button and press ok. This brings us a hot keys menu, tab down to audio and select it. This then enables the 3 dots button again for audio.
