hi guys i am struggling with getting the picon and channels updated? i get the error: unzip: invalid zip magic 4F44213C i get this for the picon and channel updater, from singing up and reading i believe i need to update the said 2 plugin's now i have download a few options on here but i am unsure how to get them on to my box? this was one of the 5800's from ebay and i believe the seller is a member on here.

in the Usr/Scrip folder i have the rat_plugin_update.sh and rat_plugin_picon.sh are these the ones i need to update? the ones i have done loaded from the site are files from 2013 and the ones on the box are from 2014 so the update would seem on the face of it counter productive?

i will get the current software versions asap

ok unfortunately when it booted the only useful info i could get was U-Boot 1.3.1 053?
 
Im not familiar with your box mate Im sorry, but if its Enigma2 then the plugins should work

the new plugins have been updated in the downloads and can be found in my signature

:)
 
Rat your plugin works well on the nbox 5800 :Biggrin2:

I have posted a link

Regards blue
 
Thanks guys yeah he has been great and I have two boxes also I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise so apologies there I am struggling with the updates etc I don't know where to put them in the file system?

Does the above error suggest something with the plug in or the box?

Again sorry for the lack of info this is my first dive into this type of system
 
those files will be no good though mate will they as they are the old plugin
just so it don't confuse members @bluepassat

Thought as much thank you I now just need to find how to get the new one on the box

Cheers all
 
ok now i have sent the 2 files over to the correct location however i get the opkg error as explained by johnny below, the issue is i cannot find the config file to add this to? nor can i find a way to execute the ipk files? is this done via putty or another tool as i do not see an option on the box?

cheers for any help or info guys.

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ location is there mate
 
i have them in there go the picon and updater folders in there or is this where i can put the ipk's?
 
thats where the ipk installs them too mate
so if you extract the ipk and put them there
I think thats what bluepassat was saying to you

if they are there unless something is missing they should work
have you rebooted the box ?

how many files in each folder in that location
 
when i put the ipk's in the tmp folder and reboot they disappear?

the files in the tree appear as in the attached: its way past my bedtime now guys thank-you for all the help this evening and i will pick this back up tomorrow evening.

The easiest way is to download both of rat files

Then use 7 zip to extract the files, then follow the file structure

Then FTP over to your box....reboot

Done
 
you dont reboot when you put them in tmp
put them in tmp then go into software manager via box menu
and install from there

I see you have my bouquets in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ they shouldn't be in there mate
 
thanks Rat and Bluepassat, yes the bouquets was me playing around trying to figure the file system out etc.

the software manager is something i cannot find??? when i hit the blue button i get a softcam manager and that is all? when i delve deeper into some of the box settings they appear to be in polish which i unfortunately cannot read?

is there anyone with a 5800 that knows how to access this?

or would it be worth some reading and performing a wipe and upgrading? as i understand it the original seller puts a lot of effort into setting this box up to allow 'easier' upgrades etc?
 
remove everything Rat from /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/
reboot the box
then ftp rat's ipk files over again, or try what bluepassat says and extract the ipk with 7zip and ftp the files to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins... reboot box

software management it in either the menu or plugins section

.ipk file to tmp folder (on root). Once done go back to your tv and press blue on remote, go to plugins, addons, ipk menu, install and it will install for you. After about a minute or 2 you will have to reboot the box as it will freeze but don’t worry it will have installed fine.

Just found this, does this help you ?
 
i will try the above thank you very much for all the help guys!
 
I Extracted as per bluepassats instructions and this has worked and updated without issue :) thanks guys.

:banana:

i am not sure the nbox software has the options for installation from the menu as i cannot find this

next step is to put the new sky theme on there which me luck lol

cheers all
