openATV 7.3 back for DM500hd only working with Original Box

how to fix this error?

[ah_1st]

hi dear brother
can we install the new image 7.4 instead of 7.3 as for some plugins there is some missing dependencies.
and if it is possible could you make it work with 1 gb flash drive please as the scripts format the flash to 3 partitions 64 mb and swap 488 mb and the rest 417 mb during the installation it says no enough memory.
thank you dear brother.

[ah_1st]

dear all ,
thanks for this work
but please can we find a solution for the 1 GB flash to work well it always says not enough space with me

[Papi2000]

What's telling "df -h" and "free"?

[surestore]

Hallo,
gibt es das auch für 7.4 oder 7.5

After some people asked me about this, to try and rescue their old DB ladies with newer, modern, more capable images, incl. AI subtitle service, I looked into it "a bit more"... I analysed it, offered my 'knowledge' and experience to work out a solution but it was a collaborative effort, kinda... We started with what @Captain has done and then tried to make it work in various ways...

And since these guys complained about the openATV v. 5.1 not being "cooperative" in the Flash, I offered an alternative, only as the basis for getting the openATV v. 7.x into a USB stick... Because the other image is no longer supported, unlike the openATV v. 7.x, of course...

So, this is how to get the openATV latest images v. 7.3/4/5 into your old DB lady + USB stick, to give her a kiss on new life...

That is, the old DB ladies of any kind, btw... I don't discriminate too much...

P.S. @Captain , please, correct the text, if necessary...

P.P.S. And if you disagree, delete the post... no hard feelings...
