Just popping in to say thanks Wooshman (and others) for your hard work and patience. I didn't even know these kind of boxes existed until 3 days ago, so I ordered one Tuesday, had it delivered yesterday and had your build up and running in no time! Took longer than it should have just because I was excited to get it working and glossed over your instructions a bit too quickly! :no no:
Everything appears to to be working as it should but I still need to explore more to see what it can do, such as series record and stuff.
:encouragement:

Why the version for the 2s when he has the h.s? not the zgemma star s it may work try it you may have to disable tunerb in settings once flashed

I did start to reply to this at 3am this morning but really couldn't be arsed to prove my point so went to bed.
You never asked why it didn't work, you asked if you could initialise at "this" point to which I answered yes. Whats more, you cannot possible know that it worked in the last build as this is the first build which uses this method of flashing from online.
To take this a step further I have flashed my box with the latest nightly build to prove that it is nothing to do with this build but the pure fact that you cannot use a micro SD card to flash with from online.
 |  |  |  |  |
| A fresh start | Setup screen | Once I had completed the wizard | The install date and build date | Only my mounted micro SD card |
So once again I am at the point where I have only got my micro SD card initialised and mounted in my box. Now when I try to do an online flash, which this time comes directly from the zgemma.tv web server and not from the WooshBuild server, we will see what happens.........
 |  |  |  |  |
| Getting ready to flash via online | So close to seeing the list of available images | Oh, not enough space! | And now with my USB plugged back in | There is our list of available images |
 |  | |||
| With the latest one selected | With the latest on downloading to the USB stick |
If you would like me to pre-empt your question of "Why it doesn't work?", the answer is because the file which deals with the online download is not written to check for a micro SD card, it is that simple. Want proof?
Code:
if Freespace('/media/hdd') < 300000:
self.session.open(MessageBox, _("Not enough free space on /hdd !!\nYou need at least 300Mb free space.\n\nExit plugin."), type = MessageBox.TYPE_ERROR)Although quite easy to understand the code basically says: If the free space on the USB device is less than 300000kb (300mb) then show the error message that there is not enough free space.
It is possible to make a fairly simply change to the first line something like:
Code:
if Freespace('/media/hdd') < 300000 [B]| Freespace('/media/mmcblk0p1') < 300000[/B]:
self.session.open(MessageBox, _("Not enough free space on /hdd !!\nYou need at least 300Mb free space.\n\nExit plugin."), type = MessageBox.TYPE_ERROR)I am done answering questions about micro SD cards and seeing posts about micro SD cards. You cannot use an micro SD card to flash an online image. I have pre-empted your Why not question and I have answered it above and beyond what I think you would have expected.
Please don't post questions about micro SD cards as my head is like to explode. Follow the tried and tested a million times instructions and you can't go wrong.

Sorry remind me later to go through and replace "SD card" to "Micro SD card" I have nothing better to do with my time!
UPDATE: to save any confusion over the term SD card and micro SD card I have edited all my references of SD cards to micro SD cards
But now you mention it, using an SD card to USB adapter doesn't seem to work to well either, so one more SD thing not to ask!
darkteckno you have currently made 7 posts to date on this forum and 5 of them are on this thread because you took it on yourself not to follow the instructions.
On the positive side and as a result of you not following instructions, I have been able to post valuable information about not using a micro SD card or SD card to usb adapter to setup this build. So please let me hit the thanks and like button under your name.

Thank you thank you thank you, I've been trying endless USB and just getting repeated boots, saw this and thought I wonder if it will do anything, absolutely magic, I couldn't believe it flashed with one of the old USB and from there it took me, an absolute newbie 20mins to get it all set up. You are a wizard and I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you have put into this.

Hi Munster
Thank you so much for offering to be the beta tester to find out if the Opticombo will work with WooshBuild v3.00 :p
I am not very knowledgeable with anything other than my H2S box so other boxes, gizmos or software I am a bit lost with. If you are happy to give it a go and see, please post back and let me know how you got on.
Saying that you may find someone has already tried or knows that they will Work with OpenATV without a problem.
Thanks for quick reply Wooshman. It will be the H.2S that I'll be using the Opticonbo with. I'm sure I can't be alone in wanting 2 x satellite receivers plus 1 cable or freeview/saorview receiver on the one box. I have sent a few more questions to Zg..co.uk and await a reply before dosh departs....
I'll happily update this thread when I am up and running. in the meantime if anybody has helpful tips, rather than drive this thread off at a tangent, perhaps PM me or if you start a thread, let me know via posting the new thread here.
Cheers! :)

My bad eyesight !!!
Read it without glasses and could have sworn I saw 2s but it was actually hs !
Not been tested on that box but the file structure is h3 same as h2s so there's a change it may work as is.
I cant seem to get any test lines to work and followed the instructions several times. Anyone else having the same problem?
I'm sure it may be something I'm doing or not doing as ive tried a couple of different test lines. Don't know if this has any bearing but when inserting the usb with line file it displays error no media found or something similar. When the usb is put back into my computer it says there's problem with this drive scan to fix. I have tried a couple of different usbs with he same result

The error message is normal and I must add that to the instructions - Thank you. The message is telling you that there are no jpgs or movie files available to play / view.
What happens if you carry on with the instructions?
Update: Instructions updated with a screen shot to reflect this.
