​

How it works:


To allow WooshBuild image updates to be available online you need to flash BaseBuild - This is a one time flash. This is a small 60mb image which includes the magic required to let your box flash WooshBuild from the internet and leave you sitting on the sofa. Once BaseBuild has flashed, you basically go to "Flash online" using your remote and choose the latest WooshBuild version from the list - select it and the box does the rest.


When you have flashed BaseBuild once, you do not have to do it again unless you mess something up. Each release of WooshBuild will contain the same online flash method, which means you can just sit back and press buttons on the remote. Each new WooshBuild release can be used as a new users image or an existing users upgrade.




What is required

• Ideally two USB drives (Sticks/Flash Drives/Pen Drive) whatever you want or call them.
• A small USB stick is all that is required to Flash your box using this image - even a 512mb will do.
• A larger USB device is advised 8GB bare minimum for recording / pause and rewind.
• [STRIKE]And some double sided sticky tape, no, that is for Blue Peter projects, ignore that![/STRIKE]
• DO NOT use a miro SD card for any of these steps as it wont work. You can setup your micro SD card after your have WooshBuild on your box.
• USB 3.0 USB sticks may not flash from the front usb port. If it won't flash, use the rear port. One report was it worked in the front but not the back - Hey, go figure

Full Install Instructions - These instructions will wipe any usb data you have.


----- STEP 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How to flash BaseBuild - The starting point of WooshBuild v4.x

At this point you should have downloaded a zip file from one of the links above for your box. Please ensure you have the correct one for your box model.
1. Make a folder on your desktop called "basebuild" and extract the contents of the zip file into this new folder.
2. Format a spare USB stick ("Flash USB Stick") using the Fat32 file system - ideally this USB stick can be kept safe in a drawer should you need to re-flash your box at anytime.
3. Copy the zgemma folder and it's entire contents from the basebuild folder on your desktop to the USB stick
Very IMPORTANT: The contents of the usb stick should now contain:	A zgemma folder ----------- Inside that is a folder called h3 or sh1 --------------------- Inside that folder are 5 files

4. With your box turned off, put the Flash USB stick into the zgemmaH2S/2S box using the front USB port (the one behind the flap) If you are using a USB 3.0 usb stick you may have to use the rear port to flash. 2S users, please use the rear usb port.
5. Turn on the Box and wait for the letters FLSH to appear on the front screen. It will then change to boot after a minute or two. Once fully booted remove the Flash USB stick from the front of box and keep in a safe place
6. You box is now flashed and running BaseBuild, the BaseBuild logo will be on your TV.	View attachment 19194
From now on, you no longer need to use USB sticks to flash WooshBuild images as it is all done via the box and over the air. You will see how simple this is in the next few steps.

----- STEP 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Getting ready to Flash WooshBuild v4.x


Because WooshBuild v4.x and future updates will be pre-configured there are two steps that need doing before you flash online. Initialising your USB and creating a swap file.


(Existing Users which already have a USB stick with data on - DO NOT initialise your usb device)

1. If not done already, remove the USB stick from the front port and insert second usb into rear port, this will be the "Main USB stick"
2. Press the Green button to open the plugin browser. You will see an icon at the top of the list called Easy Setup. Highlight this and press the OK button. Easy setup keeps everything in one place making setup quick & easy.
3. Press the Green button on your remote marked Initialise USB and you will see the following screen: Press the Red Button (Initialise) -> OK Button This step is really really important, miss this and you will have problems throughout!
4. Once complete you will see a complete message
You now need to press the Yellow button to create a swap file - (Existing Users - if you already use a swap file, skip this step) Press the Create (green button) -> OK Button (selects your device) -> Highlight 256mb and press OK Button While this is happening, please take note that the text will read: "Wait please while creating swapfile..." When the message changes to "Enable swap at statup" Press the Red Button (Activate) - Note the Status will turn green and change to Active Press the Yellow Button (Autostart) - You will have this on your screen
Press the Exit button once to be returned to the Easy Setup screen 5. Now press the Blue button to restart your box. This step is important as it completes the usb preparation process.

----- STEP 3 --------------- (If upgrading backup your settings first) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Once the box has restarted, press the Green button on your remote and this time select and run the Flash WooshBuild Plugin


Press the Green button (Online) -> Highlight latest Wooshbuild image. (In this case WooshBuild v4.xx). Finally press the Green button to flash WooshBuild


WooshBuild v4.x - Zgemma H2S, 2S, S - OpenATV 5.3-16763d1457433948t-wooshbuild-v3-01-zgemma-2s-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-scree.jpg


WooshBuild will now download directly from the servers and you will see the progress indicator


WooshBuild v4.x - Zgemma H2S, 2S, S - OpenATV 5.3-16764d1457434008t-wooshbuild-v3-01-zgemma-2s-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-scree.jpg




Once downloaded, press the Green button (OK) to proceed to the final step of flashing.




You will now see some options, highlight the option to flash WooshBuild and press the OK button.




You box will now go through a series of screens doing various bits. These include unzipping the downloaded image, then flashing the box. At no point in time should the box be turned off or the USB stick removed.


WooshBuild v4.x - Zgemma H2S, 2S, S - OpenATV 5.3-16766d1457434215t-wooshbuild-v3-01-zgemma-2s-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-scree.jpg




Your box will finally reboot and providing you have your satellite cables plugged in and they are working correctly you will have BBC1 HD on your TV screen.




Your box is now fully configured and ready for use.




(Existing Users - Restore your settings here: Blue Button -> Restore Settings -> Yes -> OK - this takes a little while and your box will reboot. If asked to restore plugins, say NO. You may have to re-install these manually)


Existing users upgrades are now complete and you are using WooshBuild v4.xx






----- STEP 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Press the Menu button -> Setup -> CrossEPG -> Configure2. Press the left or right direction button on the remote to select your USB device.
3. Press the Red button (back) to return to the menu.


Scroll down to Download now and press the OK button to begin a scan.


Your EPG store location is now set to the USB device

----- STEP 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WooshBuild v4.xx comes with an easy to use Country / Region plugin which not only sets your TV region but will also keep your channel lists up to date. Basically, if a new channel becomes available, this plugin, when run, will update what is needed to give you the new channels. If a channel is removed from HD to SD only, this plugin will do that for you too.

1. Press the green button to open the plugins screen. Highlight the Country / Region plugin and press OK
2. Highlight your country and press the OK button.
3. You now need to select your TV Region. Press the Menu button once to see this screen: Your region will say Meridian South East Now use the left and right arrows to select your TV region then press the Green Button (OK) to return to the menu
Now press the OK button twice to start a NIT scan. This will start a full channel scan for your TV region and set any new channel changes for you. Once finished, you can press the exit button back to full screen TV.

----- STEP 6 ------ This is the hardest part to explain. Please read and digest this information as it will help you. ----------------


All of the information you need to do this step is below - if you cannot do it, read it again and then try again.


Adding your line / gift / cam - Whatever you want to call it


WooshBuild v4.x comes with a unique USB Cam importer plugin. This copies your cccam.cfg or newcamd.list file from a USB stick to the correct location of /usr/keys. It then starts the cam for you. The advantage of this plugin is there is no longer a need to FTP your line across which will stop problems, questions and frustration.




Your Line provider has either sent you your line details as plain text in an email or sent you a file. Depending on the line type depends on which file you need on your USB stick.
I have included both the cccam.cfg and newcamd.list files for download. Enter your line details in the file you need, or simply copy the file your provider sent you to your USB stick


If the details you were sent look something like:

N: speed5411.server.org 18000 username pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
or C: speed5411.server.org 18000 username pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

You need to open the cccam.cfg file, paste your details in and then save the file on to your Flash USB Stick

If the details you were sent look something ilke:

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 60
CWS = quickness.server.net 56845 username pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan server1

You need to open the newcamd.list file, paste your details in, save the file and copy it to your Flash USB Stick


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the Plugin - This plugin will only work on a Zgemma box running WooshBuild v3+




Put your TV channel to Sky 1 - Done it?
Insert your Flash USB Stick into the front port on the box.


When you insert the USB stick you may see a popup message "No displayable files on this medium found!" - This is to be expected and can be ignored


Press the Green button to open the plugins page
Highlight USB Cam Importer and press the OK button.


Providing your have a cccam.cfg or newcamd.list file on the USB stick, the plugin will copy the file as required to the location needed.




Your screen will flicker once and your line details are correct you should see Sky 1 in the little back window.
If the plugin tells you that a file has not been found, please check what you have done and try again. The plugin looks for 2 files on the USB stick - cccam.cfg and newcamd.list. Your line details must be in one of these files on the stick. For the line to work you must have the correct line type in the correct file.


C: or N: - cccam.cfg
CWS - newcamd.list WooshBuild v4.00 - OpenATV 5.3-1_0_19_1b1d_802_2_11a0000_0_0_0-4-.jpg

Once complete, press the exit button back to the TV.
That is now all there is to adding your line to this and all future WooshBuild images.


Your box is now using WooshBuild v4.x




Updating your system software
The final step whenever you want to do it is to check for OpenATV updates. Over the air updates are safe to do with OpenATV and I do suggest you do them from time to time.


Blue button -> Software update -> Green button when list is populated.
Then when updates have been installed press OK button twice.












Zgemma H2H
WooshBuild v3.03 was the last available version for the Zgemma H2H. Due to not being able to support the H2H I highly recommend that all H2H users flash an excellent alternative to WooshBuild by dsayers2014. Please visit dsayers2014 OpenATV image for the h2h with one set of bouquets for full instructions.

[h=2]Q1. How do I backup or restore my settings[/h]
[SP]

1. Blue button -> Backup settings
   
2. Blue button -> Restore settings

[/SP]


[h=2]Q2. No matter what I do BaseBuild will not flash[/h]
[SP]

1. Some USB sticks just refuse to flash, it is that simple. Try and get hold of a bog standard USB stick, no frills, USB 2.0 stick. 2gb, 4gb 8gb. You can use a program called HDguru and low level format your drive, you can re-format to fat32 and you need to check the file structure of the zgemma folder on the stick.
   
   The file structure
   Zgemma folder
   -------------------- sh1 or h3 folder
   -------------------- 5 files
   
   WooshBuild is designed to flash automatically from a USB port in your box. Remove any other devices you have attached or an SD card. With the USB having the zgemma folder on it, turn the box on and it should flash.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q4. How do I change the order of channels in the EPG or edit Custom_Swap.txt [/h]
[SP]

1. WooshBuild v4+ includes the Country / Region plugin which stops the need to manually swap channels. If you are running a version prior to v4 and BBC1 and BBC2 are the wrong way around, or BT Sport HD is still on your listing, please upgrade or view this answer: [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-23.html#post512117[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q6. How do I move across the EPG categories (bouquets)[/h]
[SP]

1. With the EPG open on your screen, using the PREV & NEXT button so the remote will move you through, All Channels, Entertainment, Music, Sports etc like Sky+ used to.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q7. I get a message about the timeshift being at the end.[/h]
[SP]

1. This occurs when you have been on the same channel longer than the timeshift is set for. To prevent this message showing, change the duration of the timeshift.
   Menu -> Setup -> Recording & Timeshift -> Timeshift Settings.
   Now scroll down to “Timeshift buffer limit [in hours]” and increase the number. The larger your USB device, the larger the number you can have to store timeshift.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q8. Which files should I have for BaseBuild downloads[/h]
[SP]

1. S/Star/2S models -All have SH1 file structure within the Zgemma folder
   
2. H/H1/H2 Models -All have the SH1 file structure within the Zgemma folder
   
3. HS/H2S/H2H models -All have H3 file structure within the Zgemma folder

[/SP]


[h=2]Q9. I want to add a bigger device either a USB stick or external hard disk, how should I do it[/h]
[SP]

1. For ease simply put the new device into the front USB port of the box and open the initialise menu. Once initialised, Deep Standby the box, remove the old device, plug the new device into the rear port and turn your box back on.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q10. How do I change the update time of AutoBouquet E2[/h]
[SP]

1. Green button -> AutoBouquet E2 -> Menu button
   Now look at the bottom for the schedule time. Change this to a time to suit you. Remember to save the settings. This may be by using the green button to Save, or by pressing the red button to go back. Please read your screen carefuly.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q11. How do I change the update time of CrossEPG[/h]
[SP]

1. Menu -> Setup -> CrossEPG -> Configuration
   Look for the scheduled time and make it a time to suit you. Remember to save the settings. This may be by using the green button to Save, or by pressing the red button to go back. Please read your screen carefully.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q12. What is the smallest USB stick / Micro SD card I can use for recording etc[/h]
[SP]

1. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the better. WooshBuild has always been setup with a view to someone using a 8gb USB stick. With the cost of USB storage becoming cheaper, it is however suggested to have a minimum of 16gb. A 128gb stick will work and an external HDD is even better as they are faster and larger.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q13. Why do I get an error message about not enough storage 300mb required?[/h]
[SP]

1. There can be a couple of reasons for this, but this FAQ answers the use of a micro SD card. You cannot flash youe box using a micro SD card alone as storage. If you don’t have a USB device plugged in, you will need to insert one to flash WooshBuild.
   
2. Here is what happens when people doubt this:

[/SP]


[h=2]Q14. How do I make a complete backup of my box or restore a previous backup[/h]
[SP]

1. [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-32.html#post517310[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q15. How do I add a plugin such as Kodi Direct[/h]
[SP]

1. From full screen TV press the Green button followed by the green button again. You will now see a list of sections and within those sections are plugins which are available to be added to your box. KodiDirect is in the extensions section. Highlight this and press OK. Now find the plugin you wish to add to your box and, highlight it and press OK.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q16. How do I do X with Kodi Direct[/h]
[SP]

1. We do not support Kodi Direct and advise using IPTV Player which is already configured and works well.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q17. How do I remove plugins[/h]
[SP]

1. From full screen TV press the Green button followed by the red button. You will now be presented with a list of everything installed on your box. Normally, most plugins are installed to the Extensions section. Highlight and press OK. Now highlight the plugin you want to remove and press OK. Then press OK to confirm it’s removal

[/SP]


[h=2]Q18. How do I alter the position of my screen or make the menus fit better[/h]
[SP]

1. [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-5.html#post502828[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q19. The USB Cam Importer keeps telling me there is no file[/h]
[SP]

1. This can occur when you have created cccam.cfg on windows. What may have happened is that the file is actually now called cccam.cfg.cfg. This is due to Windows hiding known file type extension by default. Here is how to: [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-2s/90615-wooshbuild-v3-01-zgemma-2s-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-33.html#post540563[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q20. Change the storage location of the EPG[/h]
[SP]

1. Press the Menu button -> Setup -> CrossEPG -> Configure.
   Press the left or right direction button on the remote to select your USB device.
   Press the Red button (back) to return to the menu.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q21. How can i check ecm values[/h]
[SP]

1. Select Menu/Info panel/Softcam panel and the values are shown there, (make sure the channel is set on a subscription channel otherwise no values will be shown.)

[/SP]


[h=2]Q22. How do I turn on / off HDMI CEC[/h]
[SP]

1. By default, WooshBuild takes advantage of HDMI CEC (this bit which lets you turn your TV on and off with your box remote if your TV support is). The downside is that with a channel scan your TV may turn on and then off again when the scan has finished. Here s how you turn it off: [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-5.html#post502828[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q24. Does flashing my box remove all existing data[/h]
[SP]

1. Yes, but only what is on the box, not the USB device. [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-21.html#post511006[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q25. My line / channels have stopped, how do I restart them[/h]
[SP]

1. [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-21.html#post511393[/URL]

[/SP]


[h=2]Q27. I just went to update my software (OpenATV) online and got the following message:
Your Image is out of date! etc etc Do you still want to update? no/yes'[/h]
[SP]

1. The answer is yes. This just means you have missed quite a few updates, but as of now we have not known any problems being caused by updating anyway.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q28. I always have x updates available: Software Manager and CrossEPG, Bootlogo[/h]
[SP]

1. This is because if these two components are updated they will stop functioning correctly.
   CrossEPG will stop working and Software manager is responsible for allowing WooshBuild to be flashed online. Both of these components have been locked so they cannot be updated.
   
2. The Bootlogo update is trying to replace the new boot screens, not a chance!

[/SP]


[h=2]Q29. Not enough space to Flash message when trying to flash WooshBuild online[/h]

[SP] A. Occasionaly OpenATV will identify and “mount” your USB device incorrectly. This can cause the error message about “not enough space, you need 300mb”. To check that your USB has been mounted correctly, please have a look at the following solution:
[url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-2s/90615-wooshbuild-v3-01-zgemma-2s-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a-35.html#post542484[/URL]
To get to the screen referred to in that post: Red button -> Plugins -> Mount Manager[/SP]


[h=2]Q30. How to add picons to EPG screens[/h]
[SP]

1. Menu/Set up/Graphical InfobarEPG and GraphicalEPG both require the Service Title mode to be switched to Picon and Service Name setting.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q31. Problems with my Volume Control[/h][SP]

1. This seems to be an intermittent fault in Openatv V5.3

2. Using the volume control then move to where volume returns(@ 85) then reduce volume by one step at a time to desired level.Using the fast movement does not seem to resolve.
3. If that does not solve the problem then restart the box to clear the problem.

[h=2]Q33. I think I have found something wrong with the Slyk Skin / How do I do with my skin[/h]
[SP]

1. The Slyk look of WooshBuild is possible because of the excellent skin made by Kiddac. Any questions or problems need to be addressed in his own thread here: [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-2s/84606-slyk-1-hd-sly-skin-version-3-now-available.html[/URL]

[h=2]Q36.Where can I find further information from previous posts

[SP]

• It can be found on the V3 thread here: [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/89685-wooshbuild-v3-00-usb-cam-transfer-plugin-basebuild-openatv-5-1-a.html[/URL][/h]

[h=2]Q37.Sky 1, Sky Living & Sky Atlantic have no program description between 7pm and 1am : [/h]
[SP]

1. CrossEPG has, for some reason, this great bug where at 7pm each night 3 or 4 channels have no EPG descriptions until 1am. This is a bug with CrossEPG and not WooshBuild
   
   The simple solution to this is to remove the CrossEPG plugin (green button -> Red button -> extensions) and then install the epgimport from the download plugins section. You will then need to follow the setup instructions in Kiddac's bare bones guide on setting it up -> [url]http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-2s/84949-bare-bones-openatv-new-setup-guide.html
   
   [/URL]xmltv-import is not covered by WooshBuild so any issues with it need to be asked in a separate thread

[/SP]


[h=2]Q38. When I type a channel number it takes ages to change channel. Can I change this?[/h]
[SP]

1. This was one of those “can’t win” situations. In previous builds the remote number pressing time delay was just the box default but people sometimes complained that it wasn’t long enough. As a result I extended the time delay via the settings so that even my mum can press the buttons and have enough time to make a cup of tea before it switches channel..
   
   To alter the speed of the channel changing after you have type a channel number either simply press the OK button which will change the channel instantly or edit the settings to suit your needs.
   
   Menu -> Setup -> Usage & Gui -> Channel selection settings -> Up arrow once to see where you need to change.
   
   In here you will see you can alter quite a lot.

[/SP]

[h=2]Q39. I had folders on my storage device and now they have gone and the file has been moved[/h]
[SP]

1. WooshBuild v4.xxx includes Grog’s excellent movie organier plugin.
   
   This plugin makes me very happy as your Zgemma box is now closer to an orginal Sly+ box than ever before. The Movie organiser plugin is enabled by default with WooshBuild v4 and will remain enabled as standard as getting as close to a plug and play Sly+ box is my goal.
   
   If you have more than one recording of the same program, like a Sky+ box, the plugin will create a folder and move the recordings to the folder. Again, just like Sky, when you delete recordings in the folder and are left with just one recording, the folder is removed and the one left gets placed back in the main section of the device.
   
   To disable the Movie Organiser please do the following:
   
   Green button -> Select Movie Organiser -> Press the left direction button once to disable -> Green button (OK)

[h=2]Q40.Problems trying to use pause and live rewind with an HDD installed[/h]

[h=2]Q41. How do I use my own bootscreens[/h]
[SP]

1. The newer builds use a plugin to swap the boot screens around and no matter what normal action you take it won’t make any difference except maybe adding your screen to the 8 that are already there.
   
   To remove the plugin delete the folder called: BootLogoSwapper from within the usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions folder.
   
   Use whatever method you are happy with. Once you have deleted it it has gone.

[/SP]
[h=2]Q42. How can i add new bouquets[/h]
[SP]

1. Press the favs button followed by the menu button. The next screen has options and by selecting the second one you can add a new bouquet and edit the title to whatever you want to call it.

[/SP]


[h=2]Q43. When I press the file list button or planner button from within the EPG the appearance has changed. I have also noticed Programme lister is in the plugins list too.[/h]
[SP]

1. This has happened because an OpenATV over the air update has put them back on your box.
   
   Enhanced Media Centre becomes the default media player and changes how the file list is displayed.
   
   You can remove both plugins without issues. Removal will automatically put your recordings list back to normal,
   
   From full screen TV:
   Green button -> Red button -> Extensions -> Highlight EMC Media Centre and press the OK button.
   When asked to confirm, select YES. This will remove EMC.
   
   Do the same method of Programme Listener and Volume Adjust.
   
   Once removed, restart the Gui.

[/SP]
[h=2]Q44. How do I add a micro SD card for timeshift or recording (not 2S model)[/h]
[SP]

• Using a microsd card for timeshift can speed up your box by putting less stress on the USB device. It can also be used for recording, EPG and picon storage.
  
  Insert the micro SD card in the side slot and may see a popup message about no playable files. You can ignore this.
  
  Press the blue button -> Harddisk -> Initialisation -> Select the Micro SD card and intialise it.
  
  Once initialised you can then go and change storage locations such as timeshift
  Menu -> Setup -> Recordings & Timeshift -> Timeshift settings -> Timeshift location. The same applies to Recordings.
  
  Sometimes, depending on the card size, the box ill fail to initialise it. The forum has topics already covering the use and setup for SD cards, including how to do it manually on your computer.

Q45. Is Roi Sly Sports channels already on this build

[sp]

• Yes, they are located in the sports bouquets and are names RoI
  
  By running the WooshBuild Country / Region plugin you will always be up to date* when new channels are available, moved or need renaming. (give me chance to add it though.)

Wooshbuild download saga !!


I have just analysed the downloads and bandwidth uses for August due to the problems with people trying to flash and have noticed some worrying results.
Bear in mind that an online flash is less than 100mb download and once you have downloaded the latest version it is available on your box/usb to flash again via local
rather than via the server/internet.(Full instructions will be added to the FAQ's)
There are some rather concerning and very noticeable issues when checking these downloads.
There have been over one thousand individual ip address downloads which is good.
What is not good is that the download appears to have abuse from certain ip addresses.
It would appear that commercial users are abusing this facility with 3 ip's downloading in excess of 20gb during the month.
A further 3 ip's have downloading between 5-10gb and 13 ip's have dowloaded between 3-5gb.
This is causing problems for the majority and we have now banned all 19 ip addresses from downloading from the server.
If you are one of the banned ip's then please contact us via the wooshbuild website link and we will discuss this issue with you.
To keep this fair and reasonable from this point on, any ip address exceeding 3gb download in a month will be automatically banned from any further downloads permanently.

 

[benijofar]

This thread now is a closed sticky post thread.
Only Wooshman and myself will post in here with anything that we deem important and not regarded as relevant to the FAQ page.
We have started a separate thread for questions and posts so please post in there.
We have done this as we cannot be sure why the original threads have vanished twice and nor does Admin know the reason.
It is hoped that by doing it this way the problem will not occur again.

 

[benijofar]

On occasions this thread may be open whilst Wooshman or myself are doing some editing of the first post.

Do not try to post in this thread at any point as it will be deleted as soon as we see it !!
