Challenge for you all

Hey Xenafan, Is the gbox cam running by default? I can`t seem to clear any channels with this one. Where do you change the cam selection in PBenigma?

Gbox only on this it is running by default its running in the background no need to change anything same as the other image , on boot up its says camd2 starting it can take a a bit to kick in but when it does wow been running this for 3 days now no freezing glitching or anything this cam is fantastic.
Just need to do a scan thats all.

Hope this helps


Cheers

Cheers dude, Im trying it again on another sagem but it doesnt want to decode much. How long before it kicks in? i have had it on for 5 mins now. Maybe its because im in Ireland. Different system nagra roms or something?

On the OSD the FTA is always green, should EMU be lighting up?
Other images/cams decode fine.

Just restarted mine took 27 sec to click in the emu lights up green when decoding on mine dont know whats happening with yours should work fine?
I will download it and convert and flash it on my Nokia later and see if its ok on there get back to you.

Just flashed it to my nokia and it took around 2mins to clear the first time the second reboot it cleared in 1 min 5sec working ok on the nokia i will have a hunt around to see if theres any different keys around to help you if you are still haveing problems .

Thanks for compiling this enigma image mate. Can you just confirm what steps you took to import the GBOX emu into another image?

I understand from PT-1 that the GBOX binary is called by camd2.

Appreciate any comments m8.

Pretty easy on Pbenigma just deleted the cams out of var/bin and put in the cam files from PT-1 and added keys and deleted scce folder. Pbenigma Automaticaly picks up cams in var/bin so i just selected camd2 restarted and that was it.

Ahh ok; sounds easy with the pbenigma image since it picked up the only emu from /var/bin directory. For any other neutrino based image, i believe it will be as follows:


1) The gbox files need to be copied to the box in /var/bin (camd2, camd2_pmt, gbox)
2) So long as the root filesystem is jffs; the /etc/init.d/start_neutrino file needs to be modified to include camd2 to start on boot so that it can kick off GBOX:

/var/bin/camd2

NOTE: Remember to remove any reference to the other emus (newcamd,evocamd,mgcamd) and ensure that the gbox emu files are executable (chmod 755)

3) Populate the /var/keys directory with the files from this gbox image (JTG 1x in downloads).

Reboot should do the trick. Not tested but believe it should work.


If anyone could please confirm if the above works that would be useful for all.

Cheers,
Menacez

I've just started playing about with gbox on commando 8, have put in /var/etc/init.d/start the right command line to start gbox, which is /var/bin/camd2 but it just doesnt clear.
the process is there.

If i telnet the box and run /var/bin/camd2 it'll clear the channels, but as soon as i close the telnet session, it freezes.

Is there any way to load gbox onto something like commando?

I have turned off all the other emu's and have copied accross the correct files
maybe a new feature for the commando team? to include gbox under the emu, and leave it upto the user to insert the correct files like whats currently happening with all the emu's and keys :)
 
A image has to support gbox and offer a temporary file pmt.tmp with all the data for the current channel.
The most neutrino based images doesn't create such a file.
It looks like pt-1 found a JtG image with a patched zapit which do such things.
 
That are the contents of the camd2 file posted from pt-1:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -x /var/bin/camd2_pmt ]; then
/var/bin/camd2_pmt
else
if [ -e /var/bin/camd2_pmt ]; then
chmod +x /var/bin/camd2_pmt
/var/bin/camd2_pmt
fi;
fi;

if [ -x /var/bin/gbox ]; then
/var/bin/gbox &
else
if [ -e /var/bin/gbox ]; then
chmod +x /var/bin/gbox
/var/bin/gbox &
fi;
fi;
 
But surely if that was the case then gbox wouldn't work at all, which it does, aslong as I run it manually from a telnet session.

It sucessfully creates pmt.tmp in the /tmp directory with all its other files, and decodes perfectly well.

Managed to get it running by using this following line in /var/etc/init.d/start
sleep 10 && /var/bin/camd2 &

The sleep timer can be bought down to about 5 seconds i think, 10 was just the first number i picked to make sure everything had loaded first

Working great :) now to see how long it lasts
 
@Moley-UK
If your image supports pmt.tmp you can start gbox directly as shown in the last command line from the camd2 file.
/var/bin/gbox &
You don't need camd2_pmt.

Hey MGB,
Any idea why the gbox only decodes a few channels on my dbox2?
I am on Ch0rus cable. The camd2 runs ok, but only some encrypted channels clear. most are black.
I have tried the JTG and pbEnigmas with no luck.

Its a mystery :)

Check the log output from gbox via nullmodem cable or start gbox via telnet.
You have to kill a running gbox via the commands touch /tmp/gbox.kill and killall -9 gbox

I changed channels from FTA to Encrypted channels. 1 encrypted channel cleared ok, the other didnt. FTA channel was ok too.

Like mgb said try changeing ucode Hold down the blue button until extras menu appears select emu management and change ucode there its set on 0014 as standard.
This applys to Pbenigma version.


Changed ucode on nokia to 001a cleared a lot faster try them all see if that works for you.

Hope this helps

Thanks for this. Does this mean that the english translation is lost or will it be maintained after the update takes place?

It just updates the Root part not the VAR

The english language and the Time,Emu,Keys should all stay ok. Also channels etc.

Backup original Image and the try the Update ;-)
