e2 seems diffucult to be done for azbox.But if 2e isnt made for azbox dvbapi must be made at least dvbapi will be enough for most of dvb application.I dunno if tuner,modulator etc.. drivers are suitable for azbox's kernel dvbapi or not .

The_ripper, i didnt mean anything bad...
We need to know and stop waiting like sheeps, The_ripper have you any newz about EČ on Azbox Elite / Premium ?
PS : Please OpensSat :respect-023: us !!!!!
look mate. what newz do you want? here is the e2 development thread
have you seen there something for azbox? Forget it.
If there is no Enigma 2, why are such delays in the current firmware?
They are searching for the "big Bug Killer" :)Quote:

Take a look at other Boxes, if there are Erros they are fixed in short Time, so I love my VU+

Compiling E2 source code is easy , main problem here are some drivers for sigma chip.
New kernel version can be done to use glibc not uClibc like now.
Smart card driver can be done to point to path /dev/sci0.
Driver(s) for tuner(s) (frontends) can be done for DVB API. Azbox I think use Connexant CX24116 demodulator (you can find driver source code for this).
Main problem here is demux/audio/video device driver, can it be done in low level coding. Sigma is giving MRUA library to work with their chip but it's high level library like DirectShow for Windows so it sucks big time.
Plus, is it posible to adjust YAMON bootloader to be multi bootloader so we can boot directly from USB not from flash , etc ...
Well you may well be right for all intent and purposes the box ain't doing what we expected it to do, This hobby used to be fun but sinse getting my AZ Box Prem HD with internal 1TB HDD it has become a giant pain in the a*se, so much that now after the latest FW update it's been put on the side. Now I have got a Spider 9000 HD. I don't have the agro now with the Spider, but equally it's not the "hobby" as it's just switch and play.Quote:

It will probably be my luck that when it goes the FW will be made OK which will be my loss.Not knowing what the outcome is going to be is bad for us the sat lovers and users, and also people like Opensat are shooting themselves in the foot........ah well. :respect-023:
in my opinion its simple:
This weekend Opensat will die or will have a bit more hope.
It all depends on what outcome hfmls will give us.
If he doesn't give us the details he has Azbox is a dead end and can be burried.
Im sorry i have to say i think it will die
I agree: AzBug is dyingQuote:

Anyway their time is coming to its end. Be aware Mr. Hugo.
So the only thing we (users) can do is to enjoy the bright side of the box.
Mine is often to record music shows in hi-def.:cheers2:
for the whole TV functions I'll need to try other boxes.
@dutchmatrix
No one from Opensat(any employees) will not tell you publicly that they are working on E2/new device drivers. What if they dont success on this, everyone will be thinking that they are one who is guilty not Sigma ?
To HFMLS
when is the time to publicity? Today, tomorrow? Were waiting from 10 february... waiting... waiting...
I think Opensat have had him assassinated before he can release confidential information ................................. ...........
Agree. But such slow development of current FW and complete inability to solve or at least isolate bugs meansQuote:

Fluctuation of users already began, and I don't think that is wise moment to be silent and cautious. Earlier they were closely monitoring public opinion, posting announcement (more or less true) on time. Momentum for new official announcement or statement regarding plans, roadmap already passed. So now it is just question is it better late or never.
They have to do something for upcoming AngaCable, or at least cancel boot if they want to avoid complete humiliation.
Do you think it would be possible to glitch any bus on the CPU/RAM to reveal the low level calls? Sigma claims that the CPU is secure so I don't know if the developers at OpenSat has tried it or if they are content with the MRUA...Quote:

@digihoe
I dont know is it possible to catch low level calls.
To enable any decoding on Simga CPU you needs valid xrpc ucodes.
yeah i am afraid azbox is dying.... have very little hope that it will arise.unfortunely i feel doomed as its very difficult to sell my box so i lost my money:(
Would be unlikly to get true lowlevel drivers then for demux and A/V... But using xrpc ucodes directly might be good enough...Quote:
