By the way, Prl's Australian Picons are online for openATV as well. OverlayHD and the picons will also auto update as and when updates are made.

With the old Wiz V2 FW I was able to map the left and right Remote keys to jump 10sec back and forward, I have the number keys set as before to 30sec, 1 min, and three min, and the 10 sec back forward on the Ok keys was very convenient. For the life of me though, I can not figure out how to get rid of the change station left and right function to get the skip back forward function back. Is that not possible with Open ATV? Thanks

The use of the arrow buttons is a Beyonwiz only customisation that does not exist in other Enigma2 images. I am considering to add the ability to use the arrow buttons for navigation into openATV but that is not a near-term project. For now you will need to use the number button skips.

Also, the HELP button is increasingly being deployed and enhanced across the openATV user interface. You may find it helpful to become more familiar with the way openATV works.

You may care to keep a wish list of Beyonwiz features that are not present in openATV. If there are features that can improve the openATV user experience we can look at adding them.

Yeah, had a feeling that might be the case, it would be nice to have in some form or other, but I can just modify the existing buttons for now. Still though, given this FW is still being updated where Beyonwiz seems to have given up, I'm quite happy with it

Please be aware that openATV is unergoing massive updates and clean-ups. We have years of work planned to update, optimise and improve the code. As an Australian developer who came from Beyonwiz development you can rest assured that I am keeping an eye on making sure that Australian users will be looked after.

By the way, if you make a mistake with a post you can go back and edit the post. In the edit screen you should also be able to delete the post.

Heh..! It's the translation thing that's throwing me off, Google Translate doesn't show the edit icons.

I don't know how I did it but this area of the forum is all in English for me.

Perhaps the plugin "enigma2-plugin-extensions-specialjump" gives the functionality, you are asking for.
It also has the opportunity, that additional a special fast service switch (like FastChannelChange) was implemented for multi-tuner boxes.
Unfortunately the Maintainer (http://www.opena.tv Fischreiher) is not longer working on it. So it might need some rework.

Something I've been meaning to ask, given the lack of PVR's available in Australia, is there a box available overseas that is compatible with Australia's current (albeit lacklustre) DVB standards? You have Fetch, which is awful, Humax and Panasonic, who's FW are older than dirt then Beyonwiz, who have apparently just given up! Don't get me wrong, the Wiz V2 is still a strong box for OZ, but I'd like to think there are better options either coming up or available now, that are DVB-T2 compatible. Heaven forbid our Ozzy Gov't would update our transmitter service. I actually bought a Humax 4K Aura from Britain, which unfortunately, turned out to be incompatible. Or should I say the box is capable, but the FW is not. Actually, an Open ATV version for that box would be Sooo nice.

#31

There are lots of boxes that will work well in Australia. The only issue you face is selecting a box that has the required number of DVB-T/T2 tuners. Many boxes have one DVB-T/T2 tuner some have more. Almost all boxes you buy from off-shore will have a DVB-S/S2 tuner that will be useless to you but can simply be ignored. The other issue is to get a plug pack that works in Australia. Some of the boxes I have use a standard 240Volt to 12Volt DC plug pack that is very easy to obtain here. If you specify that you are from Australia then they may even include the correct power supply for you.

If you find a box you like then the odds are it will work fine in Australia. openATV, as you have seem is completely happy running for Australian users. That includes the Australian TV channel icons (thanks to Prl), English Australian spelling and tuner databases for Australia.

If you can find a Zgemma H7C then you will get 2 DVB-T/T2 tuners in a small and very functional box. Some of the VU+ boxes can be configured for up to 4 DVB-T/T2 tuners. Some of the VU+ and GigaBlue boxes are even better boxes than the Beyonwiz T4! Remember that you can also add USB DVB-T/T2 tuners as well.

#32

you can buy a 5v power supply 2A at your local electro store for little money, this would solve the power supply problem for boxes that use an external power supply, they cost around 5-10 € here.

Humax and E2 unfortunately does not work, I had already talked to Humax about it, it uses a locked CPU that only works with the Humax OS, the free linux is not executable the CPU simply refuses to run.

Suggestions for improvement are always welcome as long as they meet the E2 standard, but IANSAV's work here is much appreciated and he will certainly find the best middle ground.

Thanks for that, did a bit of research, and all those boxes that I can see, are of a similar age to the Wiz V2, only real benefit is the FW which I can now put on the Wiz. I was hoping for one that had HDMI 2.1 and the latest compute. Seriously considered the "VU+ Duo 4K SE" but it is around the same age as the Wiz and the most expensive. I will keep an eye on those brands for the 24 models if they come out.

Ian, I just found out the "GigaBlue UHD Trio 4K PRO Combo Tuner" is HDMI 2.1 which from what I've seen is the only one of the many boxes that can do it, only problem is that the Ethernet is only 10/100. I've been spoiled with Gigabit LAN connected to my NAS and had no issues streaming 4K HDR Dolby Blu-ray direct to my Mini PC Kodi box. I do run basic movies through my Wiz sometimes, but I'm wondering if 10/100 is fast enough for 4K movies in general? Not an issue if not, as I have the Kodi box, but it would be nice to run a 4K movie via the Gigablue. This box seems pretty recent, too, so I don't understand why they cheeped out on the Ethernet? Probably something I should know after all these years running PVR's, but confirmation will help me pull the trigger. Thanks

60GB Videos in MKV container (4K, h265, HDR) are played fine at least with exteplayer3. With EMC my last tests where negative (not net performance, but gst-player issues).You have to stay below that magic 100mBit for lan-playback. And no ISO-playback (was't positive).

#36

a good uhd in h265 has a picture bitrate
of about 20mb/sec.
it can easely fit in a 100 MB ethernet line.
I have no experience in Blue Ray
files what the container is.

Not sure if I'll use the OpenATV image yet, but it's definitely on the cards. I like Kodi because I can see all the Video info about the Movie as I scan the list, but the Wiz just isn't up to running it smoothly, hence the Mini PC, maybe the new Gigablue will be, but if I've just acquired a movie, it's easier to just play it (if it's compatible) direct from the NAS to the PVR. Very few of my movies are bigger than 40 0r 50Gb, most are MKV, so hopefully, if I can run Kodi from the Gigablue, it just might work out? Otherwise, I should be able to access them from the NAS and run it directly through the PVRs front end, like I do with the Wiz.

That may be.
But there is material out in the wild, that comes near that limit. Just one of dozends samples:

And by the way: I don't use Kodi, because i own STBs.

I don't have any 4K display devices as yet but I believe that most common 4K material will be fine on 100 Mbps wired ethernet. If you have access to the Sony private channel supplied with Sony 4K TVs then that material is sent at greater than 100 Mbps *BUT* the Sony TVs only use 100Mbps!!! In such cases it is suggested to use a faster Wi-Fi dongle to get greater speeds. If you want more than 100 Mbps then you too could opt for a faster Wi-Fi dongle.

Yeah, I considered a faster Wi-Fi dongle, but there are only two USB ports on the back, one for the HDD and the other for the extra DVB-T2 receiver (gonna need that

) I'm assuming a USB splitter won't work in this situation? So hopefully the 10/100 Ethernet will be fine. Thanks though
