need some help

[iroc-z]

I am not sure if I am in the right section but I need some help. I am trying to install Castle image 1.06 in my dreambox 7000. I really like the image but have a problem - I am trying to manually install north american emulator. It installs fine but then when i go to blue panel it is not there. Our emulator ends in ".tar.gz" and ".tar.gz2" Am i using the wrong emulator or am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance.

The normal way to manually install something is to ftp the ".tar.gz2" into the tmp folder, then manually install it using the blue button. You may find not all images support manual install. If not you will have to ftp the files into the right place.

Hi - thanks for the quick reply to my question. I have checked and the files are all in the right place. But when I go to the blue panel to activate - the emulator is not showing up.

Hi iroc, have you rebooted the dreambox after installing the emulation?

Enigma needs to read some files and that doesn't always happen without a reboot.

yes i tried thad

Ok I have not tried the Castle image for a while but I have downloaded the new image and will try it out in the morning. It is most likely the emu start scipt that is not running correctly.

The other thought though is did you change the bin file attributes to make the file executable? ie chmod 755.

chmod 755 yes

Have a look in /var/script for the .sh file that's executed when you select a CAM. I think this is where the emu list is often built from. There should be an entry for each active CAM. If there is not one there for your missing emu (but is for the others), then copy an existing one and modify it.

It should look a bit like this:

CAMNAME="Camd3.880i"
USERNAME=""
ZAPTIME=6
CAMID=2036
DVBSET=3
INFOFILE="ecm.info"
# end

case "$1" in
start)
echo "[SCRIPT] $1: $CAMNAME"
/var/bin/camd_3880i &
;;
stop)
echo "[SCRIPT] $1: $CAMNAME"
/var/bin/pcamd_3880i -kill
sleep 5
killall -9 camd_3880i pcamd_3880i
;;
*)
$0 stop
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

You will have to do some editing and modification of the first six parms. It'll give you something else to search the Internet with though

It may be that the Castle image doesn't work this way. There are several different approaches across images, but it's usually some sort of script that controls emu-changing.

The script file in /var/script has to be named ****_emu.sh where **** is the name of the emu as it appears in var/bin.

I found that most script files were named ****_cam.sh and that wont work

I finally got it going thanks to the creator of Castle image. I sent them the north american bundle and they got it redone for me and sent it back to me. I have now got it installed and it works like a charm. Thanks for everyone's effort to get me going. Merry Christmas to everyone.
