I've got Fresh Pots latest HY4.5 installed on AA2.
Works fine. - an odd freeze but that's ok.

When turned on it starts on RTE1.

Is there a way to get it to come on and startup on BBC1 ?

I've explored all options and cannot see how to do this

Press Ok ,
Channel list should come up
Go to BBC 1
Press Menu
Options will come up , one of them is " Set As start up Channel "

The solution above should fix it switch to a channel that works like bbc1 and set it as your start up channel..

How do you stop a recording in PKT Hyperion?! I tried pressing the Stop, Pause, Play, Record buttons and had a look in the PKT Blue Panel.

Press folder button to see stored movies. Select current recording and hit RED. You will be asked to stop or stop and delete. If it's a timer recording you can delete the timer entry for similar results.

If you press the record button it should give you the option to stop a recording

forgot that one

Thanks Technofobe but didnt work for me, got no errors or anything but no sign of the plugin after a reboot. Am I leaving something out?

I tried that but didn't see any recording name or date that was current and represented the channel that was recording.

I did that too but there was no option to stop a recording.

No recording ended up on the USB HD after I rebooted so maybe I was actually streaming the channel onto my laptop without realising. I think that shows up as 'recording' on the box display.

You're right on that one. If steaming, it shows up as one of your tuners in use as recording (at least on the aa2+ box without the new display)

Hi all,

I downloaded Fresh Pots image last night and installed it and all is working great except my external HDD is no longer recognised. I've been using openatv for ages now (different versions) on my Alien2 box with a 2TB external HDD and all was well, HDD was always recognised.
I reformatted the HDD into EXT3 but still it is not being recognised by the Fresh Pots image, anyone got any ideas ?

I reformatted via Spark without success and also separately though a windows program to check it was being recognised and not faulty but its not. Other than this HDD issue, the image is flying along so thanks for that.

Anybody got any suggestions please !

I had that issue but formatted the drive in Spark and then all was ok. Double check the formatting works again.
I know in enigma under blue panel (?) and hard disk you can see the file format. I noticed the file format was ntfs not ext3 and thats why I formatted in spark. hope it helps...

Assuming that you are mounting using the HDD mount from the blue panel.
If you have tried mounting as sda1 with no joy, have you tried mounting as sdb1 (use the left or right button on the remote to toggle options )?

Hi,

I am using xbmc running on a laptop to access channels on the alien2 (enigma2). The alien2 has a harddisk attached to it. I am wondering can I access the movies that I have stored on the external harddisk through xbmc running on the laptop or am I just limited to the channels?

Hi am just putting another box in another room and I'm struggling to get my network connected, on the test it says LAN connected but is failing on the ip adress and the nameserver, it's been a while since I set up my main box and I'm wondering if I've missed or forgot to do something?

Are you using a static IP addresses?

If you are, check if both boxes have been assigned the same IP address, if they have then you'll need to change one of them.

if your on an ordinary network with no static ip 1t will 192.168.1.? if you go on you network settings its will show your ip

this is a private ip and will only be available from a device connected to the same network , mainly used for ftp purposes , but is possible to stream to another device some sd channels

to access it from an outside network you need a static ip which may not be available to your set up

reformatted it through windows as EXT3 and it worked this time, thanks all

I have Crossepg saving to my USB, but it also saves to internal flash. I thought if you selected external device, it wouldn't save to internal flash?

Just took it into my uncles next door (he's looking for one anyway) and it won't connect to his either, it has a primary ip and one under nameserver 1, but won't connect, I'm now frightened I've altered settings that I shouldn't.

Nowso

it will only connect if the both and device are connected to same router unless u have a static ip set up

check you have your samba server plugin turned on

Imstuck

There is no device as yet Nowso, the box won't connect to the router even though it's wired directly

can you log into the router to see if you can see your box's mac address?

on your box, have you DHCP enabled?

I could see a primary ip, I should set interface & dhcp to yes?
