Commando 15.1d for DM500S or DM500C Release image 11/03/2016

Just over three months since C15.1c release on 25 November 2015, but hardly a day has gone by since then without ongoing dev, ready for this C15.1d release. Nothing major, nor dramatic, it's all been about:

• Optimization of scripts and daemons for increased speed and robustness
• Updated Helpfiles (including a set for DM500C), previously neglected, doh)
• New SML Menu for DM500C (thanks, deejay!) with new Helpfile for it
• Bang up to date channel listings for both tuner types, as of today 12/03/16
• Vastly improved disaster recovery measures for wrong SML choice on cable
• New backdrop for DM500S Radio Mode / ABs Fast Mode / GetEPG Load
• New backdrop for DM500C Radio Mode / ABs VM (as ISS screenie NOT cable)
• Accent characters (like RTÉ) in the OSD now handled correctly on DM500S
• Disaster prevention on DM500C- won't allow ABs VM until SML is correct!
• User sort now saved for DM500S ABs when toggling Parental on and off

...along with ongoing testing and feedback on the various modules, thanks to our team of Usual Suspects, LOL! Thanks to them, and for their input and suggestions. No names, no packdrill, but they know who they are...

As always- ENJOY! Renny and AL :beer:

ps: Some feedback which is so thin on the ground as to be non-existant is from DM500C users over there in the Republic of Ireland. Does this image work for you? Do we require a new cables.xml and helpfile for RoI? We have no way of testing...

Hi Abu,

I've got a BM500s lying around somewhere, can this image be used on the that box.
Also, is so any pointers on how to flash it, only ever got involved in the enigma 2 boxes that flash through USB.
By the way I'm from the Emerald Isle!! I would be glad to give some feedback to the above inquiry
Cheers
Suttsy..

There are flashing instructions in the download. Yes, it will work on any variants of the DM500. BM500S, Eaglebox etc.

Al is looking for cable feedback.

I did try dream up sometime back, but i couldn't get into the configuration. I'll have another go in a few days when I've got the time. I don't have cable but I have a relation that could use it if I get it running. Thanks for the reply back.

In particular, TC are seeking DM500C user feedback from the the RoI, as we need to know if your cables.xml file needs updating, or even swapping (in SML)

Cheers- AL

Sorry, but two bugs reported on DM500S so far and here are the new files that fix them. Just knock off the .txt extensions before you FTP them to the indicated folders to overwrite the 11/03/2016 files of the same name:

/var/etc/custom_sort.new

(Bug: ABs failed to write new custom_sort file after editing Bouquets in BE )


/var/tuxbox/config/menu_get-epg.conf

(bug: No GetEPG Wizard Menu; fix- MarkieVee)

Cheers- AL (all my fault, as usual...)

can i install this through FTP in Tmp folder?
can't find my null modem!!

cheers
