OK, my old E2 started giving me problems and then I saw all these offerings from Gods of Japhar and I started to think... So, here are the results of the Jury of London, regarding this image in Ferrari 500 HD with the mighty Japhar SIM card... Before all that, CONGRATS on hacking the drivers - well bloody done!!! =============TO THE BUSINESS AT HAND============= OpenPLi images are smaller, leaner and meaner, hence more suitable for older machines like F500 HD, with smaller flash memory and RAM. Indeed, flashing was uneventful. 1) After the flashing I set out to delete the stuff I did not need (cable.xml, terrestrial.xml in etx/tuxbox, then cable etc. scanning folder in usr/lib/enigma/python/system plugins or some such path etc. etc.). 2) I checked how much space I have and then I sent to /tmp folder the first 2 attached plugins (thanx to Dimitry from OpenPLi for Device Manager and the author of Flash Expander). 3) I also sent 2 small plugins to set paths for picons and EPG. I find them useful. They go to System Plugins folder. The last plugin is there to fill my quota of 5 attachments maximum... 4) After each change/installation => RESTART!!! 5) Logic commands to install Device Manager first. I tested this plugin properly for Dimitrij and I can vouch it works well on OpenPLi images! I have a 16GB USB stick mounted internally, in the USB port inside my Ferrari500HD. It is partitioned in 2 parts, a smaller one which I mounted as /media/usb and a bigger one, which I mounted as custom /media/cf partition. 5a) /media/usb is about 1.5GB and it will be used for Flash Expander ONLY! 5b) /media/cf is around 14.5 GB and it will be used for picons, EPG, downloading subtitles, buffering, cash for IPTV Player and alike. 5c) I will add a UBS HDD as /media/hdd later, when I set up these essential functions, so the structure of E2 setup is sound and E2 has enough space to do what is necessary. 6) Flash Expander is used to expand the /usr folder to the first partition of my USB memory stick. When it was all done, one could read this output in Telnet (sda1 is the /media/usb, now /usr folder, with loadsa space for all you want...): openpli 6++ dm500hd
root@dm500hd:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 60.0M 57.6M 2.4M 96% / devtmpfs 66.3M 4.0K 66.3M 0% /dev tmpfs 64.0K 0 64.0K 0% /media tmpfs 66.4M 256.0K 66.1M 0% /var/volatile /dev/sda1 1.5G 132.0M 1.3G 9% /usr /dev/sda2 13.2G 161.5M 13.0G 1% /media/usb The description of setting up will continue n another post, due to 5 files limitation to attaching function here...

As you can see, what I described above is functioning well, at least so far. I should also repeat what I wrote on OpenPLi forum, when I tested the Device Manager for Dimitrij (just a part of what found, when testing)... https://forums.openpli.org/topic/54371-devicemanager-for-openpli/?hl=device+manager+1.2#entry782717 1) Initialise - used the "Simple" one, 1 partition in EXT4 (but it has many other, both Linux and even Windows NTFS formats)!
2) Info - successful
3) Partitions (it was sdc, there were options to format but no need, since I initialised it as above) mount > /media/usb1 (Fast mount option)
4) When checking/listing partitions it does not give what type of format (it is EXT4, but it just says Linux) - successful.
5) Tested Blue button > Fast Mounted Remove option in OpenPLi itself > it safely unmounted it and warned correctly to check if there are more than 1 partitions mounted, so to check it first (and unmount if...) before removing the USB stick. I shall continue describing the process in the next post...

Now, we are ready to send a channel list into our STB, download plugins, do the fine tuning, with all sorts of settinsg etc. We shall cover that a little later... Real life awaits... ======================================================= I used the latest "Ciefp's satellite and VOD TV settings" as the basis... But I also edited it for my setup, which includes an awesome all-round Zgemma H7S box, with 2 x DVB-S/S2 tuners and a DVB-C/T/T2 tuner: a) UK terrestrial DVB-T/T2 services (Crystal Palace, south London transmitter), using an indoor, amplified aerial b) T90 multifocal + a small, single position satellite dish T90: 1) 39E 2) 28E 3) 23,5 E 4) 19E 5) 16E 6) 13E 7) 10 + 9E 8) 7E 9) 0.8/1W 10) 4 + 5W Single dish: 11) 30W Method used: Firstly, I replaced satellites.xml included in the ciefp's lists with Reinh@rd's file (E2-satellites-xml-29112017). Then, I used Dreamset app to delete the unused satellite positions and whatever was not needed (German terrestrial services, plus PV from satellites I do not have etc.) => Save As... Then, I used DreamboxEDIT to open the newly edited list and send it to the box => restart E2. I then scanned the UK (Crystal Palace) terrestrial services and that automatically created a new folder in the list (Terrestrial). After that, I manually scanned satellite by satellite, for everything that I can get here, in London, with the equipment I have. After that, I used DeamboxEDIT app to get it out of the box and save in on my PC. Feel free to edit the Favourites as per your needs/taste, of course... Enjoy, if anyone has the need for something like this... Btw, I have added a smaller version of the list, without radio channels, terrestrial ones etc. Just in case...

That is normal. That's what FE does - copies /usr to the partition of your choice... I stated that FIXED is the way to go...
