Guide How to set up an E2 combo box with vix image

Great guide! i managed to get everything working, but all the channels are just in one big list on the epg with no groups. Also there is no channel numbers next to them. Is there a way so the channels are in groups and have the channel numbers next to them as it is a pain scrolling through the channels to select one. My box is a Vu+ solo se v2 with a cable line if that makes any difference.
 
The attached mg_cfg file in this guide has logging enabled. This actually caused MGcamd 1.38 on my Edision OS Mega to freeze a couple of time a day. When I say freeze I don't mean a normal glitch from the line provider but a full freeze of the MGcamd client itself. A restart of the MGcamd client did not help, only a reboot of the box solved this issue temporally . After changing these settings below I have not had any frozen MGcamd anymore. I can also add that changing to 1.35 before changing the mg_cfg also worked. It did not freeze. Perhaps the freezing is related to certain hardware but it certainly did a difference for me.
Change the following:


# Log option, summ of:
# 00 off
# 01 network udp log
# 02 log to console
# 04 file, appended ! delete it by yourself, before it eat all your hdd
# + IP udp-port log-file-name
L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log


Change to:


# Log option, summ of:
# 00 off
# 01 network udp log
# 02 log to console
# 04 file, appended ! delete it by yourself, before it eat all your hdd
# + IP udp-port log-file-name
L: { 00 }

Thanks for the reply. But I think I already have AutoBouquetMaker installed, as it tells you to go into it in the guide and it shows up in the settings. I'll have a play around and see if it changes.
 
zgemma have their own forum thread and openvix is not supported on zgemma models.might be a few build over there for you.

This is a bit of a lengthy process first time around so
take your time and make a cup of tea, you can grab a beer later lol

So I will try and make it easy to follow.

It's really not that complicated when you have the box in front of you.

Here is a quick summary of the steps

1. Configure your tuners, if it's a combo follow the guide.
If it's twin cable or twin sat just set both tuners the same way in the guide and miss out the cable or sat parts you don't need.

2. Set up the EPG to save to "daily" and make sure you are saving it to a storage device, not internal flash memory.

3. Set up Autobouquet maker (ABM) and scan for channels.

4. Add your softcams.

5. Add the Mg Cam files attached at the bottom of this guide then add your line (using Filezilla).

6. Switch on your Cam.

Enjoy !!!

If you want to add extras later like skins or pecons for the sky/cable look you can do this if you wish
but this should get you up and running (y)

Power up the box, it will put you in the start up wizard.

Select HDMI, 1080p, and 50Hz (use the settings suited to your TV)

Select the language as English

View attachment 12426

Set the visibility to about 200, then use the options to size the menu to the TV screen

Set the menu inside the four corner markings.

View attachment 12427

Using the wizard check the internet connection, it should say it's working and display
your IP address (make a note of your IP you will need it later)

Now configure the tuners, Tuner A on this box is sat.

Set the satellite to Astra 28.2

View attachment 12428

Tuner B is cable

Type in your net id, put yes against all the QAM settings, Scan additional SR, at the bottom of the list type in your symbol rate

View attachment 12429View attachment 12430

Choose to scan later

View attachment 12431

Keep clicking OK and let it set up your network interface.

You should insert a pen drive to store your EPG on, if the internal flash memory gets full
it can brick the box.

Menu - Setup - System - EPG - Settings

Change the EPG Location from internal flash to media/hdd

(If it won't switch to media/hdd straight away, put the pen in and reboot the box, some are picked up others need the reboot to be seen )

Set Enable VM EPG to yes

View attachment 12432

In the EPG menu

Go into Multi EPG settings and press OK

Go into Cross EPG - Configure and change the scheduled download to once a day

View attachment 12434

Menu - Setup - Service Searching - Auto Bouquet Maker - Configure

Change Scheduled Scan to yes

View attachment 12436

In the Auto Bouquet Maker Menu pick Providers

Select Sky UK as yes then select your area, Select Virgin UK as yes and select your area (your net id's should match)

View attachment 12437

In the Auto Bouquet Maker Menu pick Providers Order

The one you set at the top will be the first set of groups when looking in FAVS, the second with be further down the list

View attachment 12438

Scan for channels,

View attachment 12439

You should now have a nice neat channel list for cable and sat channels

After you have scanned you will have lots of FTA channels on sat but only about 5 FTA channels on cable such as BBC 1, 2 and ITV, these will only be SD channels not HD.

The rest of the $ channels will show as a blank screen so don't panic.

Check you have the necessary FTA channels before continuing.

Menu - Pugins - Download Pugins (green button) - Scroll down to softcams

View attachment 12442

Download on to your box CCcam 2.3.0 and MG Cam 1.38 from the list of softcams, you can download some more versions if you wish.

On your computer, download the attached file at the bottom of this guide,

unzip, you should now have two files,

mg_cfg

and

newcamd.list

Put them somewhere easy to find like your desktop.

Double click on the newcamd.list file (open with notepad) if prompted.

Change the front of your N Line or lines so it reads CWS =

Paste your line over the example lines in the file so it looks similar. Save.

Download Filezilla Client from the internet, it's free.

Open Filezilla Client

Across the top, in Host type in your IP address, in username type in root, leave password blank and in port type in 21

Then press quick connect.

The left hand boxes are your computer, the right hand boxes are your box.

On the left browse to the two files you downloaded from this guide.

On your right browse to usr/keys

Click on one of the files on the left, right click your mouse and select upload.

Do the same with the other file, the two bottom windows should look the same.

So you should have the newcamd.list and mg_cfg file in the bottom right hand window

Menu - Setup - Softcam / CI - Softcam Manager

View attachment 12445

Green Button - Start

Blue Button - Enable Start Up

Most cable servers supply N lines so I haven't included using CCcam

You can request a cable line here

and a sat line here
