Heres the write up

Allsats are pleased to announce the release of their first public image for the TM800HD.

The image, created by our developers, is based on the code set of 15-6-2011, but has the following enhancements.

Lightweight - following the theme of Andromeda we have removed a considerable amount of redundant code, reducing the image to under 90% of available space leaving 5.8Mb free for future addons, yet adding numerous new functions at the same time.

User-friendly - no password protection on PPanel access, and a number of new user functions on our own PPanel. It is wider than the default console with two lines of help text and current line high-lighting to assist in scrolling right on long output lines. Intelligent applet display so you only see options that match the hardware on your box - ie make swapfile on rear usb stick only shown if stick is present. Functions include:
. Audio output and format switching integration of home-cinema and other hdmi audio devices.
. USB hub management - to mount all usb storage partitions on all usb devices when plugging hubs into the front and rear sockets. In addition to the normal /media/type-disk mountings the applet will mount all devices in a set at /STORAGE/. This can be a mix of partitioned and non-partitioned devices. No limit on number of concurrently mounted devices.
. Backup and restore channel setting feature to mounted storage devices on the box allows users to experiment with scanning satellites or downloading lists, then reverting to a stored channel and bouquet set. With an internal and external disk active you can use the applet to switch between two separate channel sets.
. Live channel set edit feature aimed at Linux only users without channel set management software or users who wish to undo changes in current enigma session. Enigma works with a channel set in memory and writes that back to disk under certain circumstances. This tool allows you to force a new set into memory from disk.
. CCcam management panel
. Swap management to create, activate, deactivate swapfiles. Can be used for session only or to patch the startup code for permanent action.
. KillScripts tool - for the brave who want to cut away the very last bit of fat from the image. This tool examines all python resource files and determines which can be safely removed. It works by comparing original python ('.py) file creation dates with the date of the optimised ('.pyc') file created by enigma when it detects a new script. Any '.py' with a matching '.pyc' of a later date is redundant. Never use the Cleanup routine after running KillScripts.
. Package installer for IPKG packages.

Other improvements include
. Cleanup to remove unnecessary files , mainly foreign language files and duplicate resource libraries.
. Improved 'List' button in default skin, with up to 4 lines of descriptive text per recording
. On-screen progress reports during power-on sequence for those who prefer not to sit on the floor with their noses against the front display.
. Improved telnet window. User prompt only shows lowest level directory, with name printed in blue to maintain a full line of text for command input.

Installation:
The image has been test loaded by both the direct 'image on usb' method and the Miniweb download from PC method. Based as it is on the IQ 15-6 code it has the same disk restrictions as that base image, but we will be releasing further images when the proprietary board level device drivers are released by the hardware teams.

Pre-defined logon password for telnet and web browser sessions is allsats

Image comes complete with a built in channel set for 28.2E, and a Favourites(TV) bouquet of FTA channels and those hard to scan BBC streams. Just select scan manually later in the setup wizard to keep, or over-write as required.
 
Ive tried it a while ago
some different Ppanel options
no graphical epg though

still got asked to install channel list in wizard
asked for password in wizard usually press blue twice but had to press red to exit as blue blue said wrong password
will have more of a play the weekend so put backup back on

one thing I did notice is the date on the image is 15th I didn't think the source wasn't available then ?

I just loaded it, the password is allsats, bit of a pain the the ass I must say, only 28 degrees channels loaded - thats about as far as I have got with it

oh the cogs have replaced by a windows 7 style egg timer

only 90% data usage - 5MB free - make that 91% 4MB free with a full mororized channel list

Horrid startup display - but we can deal with that

ive only just got home, after another day of doing 20 mins work, and over 6 hours driving, but, ive been waiting for an image from this team to be released

time to download and play
 
If you don't want a passwd then remove it in a telnet session with passwd -d But why would you want to?

Oh, and its got a full set of 28.2E channels - you were looking at the bouquet with fixed data for BBCi streams.
 
tbh as soon as the password came up and blue blue didn't work I started to loose interest
then no epg, can someone else confirm no epg

boot screen was not to my liking either but then neither is iQs but no big deal its not there for long lol

I think I'm so used to the DW set up now, but saying that its fantastic that there is another team that has started to release, well done and thanks :)
 
Ok guys, I was messing with the catseye motor list last night and it froze my box everytime.

It does however work a treat on this image

Ok bit of good and bad news here :

Done a recording - Playback Result = Video Only - oh and box froze

However the missing text has been fixed in the description.

do you have Graphical EPG ?
 
have to say overal this is a first image I have seen from this team, and its not a bad effort

Will leave the media player testing to the rest of you, as cant be bothered tonight.

However if the IQ image could use the catseye list and the recording desription was fixed i would prefer to use that.

But i am sure thats coming.... the big thing I would like to say to IQ is take a closer look how they streamlined this image which has given us more room to install addons - although I am sure Digi will tell us real soon
 
No not really, just like a now and next type epg

I much prefer the catseye channel list I have to say

The amount Jimux has taught me over the last year m8, you wouldnt believe, the cleaner that runs in the ppanel / plugin i made is jumix's script. Ive seen how knowledgable the people behind this team are m8, and if any team has the ability to turn the TM800 into the machine that its hardware is capable of, then this is the team who will do it

Bottom line mate, is it is great to see other teams having a bash at this - is this happening because the overal official image is more stable?

can someone else check the recording for me - ideally on internal sata

well done guys great to see an independent team having a real good go at it !!
 
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You - providing it works of course. I'm not going to get time to test for a few days.

Finally a proper 3rd party comes to the party. It's taken this to get their already proven working tidy up scripts into the compiling of the image instead of leaving up to others post install. Cooltv and Rytec are easy enough add-ons to add manually if you really want them. Anyone owning one of these boxes should be used to telnet by now so it's no excuse.

Based as it is on the IQ 15-6 code it has the same disk restrictions as that base image, but we will be releasing further images when the proprietary board level device drivers are released by the hardware teams.
Yes please. Ones that work properly

Did you factory reset your last image before flashing with the Andromeda image.I have tested recording on both fta and encrypted channels (not using timer yet) and playback was crystal clear and audio present, however i did notice that when using f/f the image was still which doesnt give you any idea where you are up to.The IQ image moved forward even if rather jerkily but you could see where you where in the recording.Also tested media player and avi and divx both played with good clarity and audio.
Loaded DD's live updater to download Rytec epg worked a treat.Image is very stable with no audio drop out while watching HD tv either fta or encrypted so safe to say this will no longer be an issue.Dont know if it is my tv but i am not having to adjust volume when switching from sd to hd, not saying this may be cured but in my situation i am not concerned.Dont have my surround sound set up at the moment (decorating) so dont know if it will be more noticeable when this is reconnected.
With DD's download panel i can see them when i press the yellow button but cannot activate epg etc.I can only activate via blue + yellow button.

I too am now very happy with how my box performs , i am sure the media player f/f and r/w will be fixed sometime soon but as i can now watch my divx movies it is not crucial.

Anyone having any issue with the OK button, i have to press mine at least twice to get a response, only noticeable since IQ image and ones since.

Thanks to the Andromeda team for stepping in and helping to make this box what it really should be , a premium product and also the IQ team who started this transformation. DD will i am sure provide the fine detail and help just as much.

:Cheers:
 
Jsaw - you using internal disk? - I have not done a factory reset so could be the possible problem - probably wont be able too until tomorrow as Mrs has taken over the TV again!

Dont get me wrong chaps I am very happy with the progress, and am not moaning

I've been having that for a while. I just assumed it was poorly made remote wearing out, despite the fact it's not been used that much. Dont get it with other buttons
