TNAP-5.1 Image Discussion

[el bandido]

TNAP 5.1 images are available now for supported receivers running TNAP 5. The TNAP 5.1 images are available under Flash image in the receiver menus and should be considered Test images as they are not 100% complete. The TNAP 5.1 images are considered to be stable, but may contain errors. TNAP 5.1 images will be posted in the download section of Legitfta once they are considered to be complete.

Several changes are in TNAP 5.1. Some of these changes may be noticed or not, depending on what you use the receiver for. An effort to improve the satellite scan performance has been made in enigma2 by adjusting timeout timers. IMO, some of the timers were set too long which in turn caused longer scan times due to waiting on the timeout timer.

Adjustments were made to the satellite blindscan plugin which allows signal in db to be seen before scanning a satellite. A motor start switch has also been added to keep the satellite dish motor from starting when you don't want it to. The satellite dish motor will still start automatically if needed once blindscan is started. Otherwise, you have to start the satellite motor. Either way, the satellite dish antenna needs to be aimed accurately at the satellite before blindscan starts!

A few adjustments were made to Positioner setup. Logs for Positioner setup now shows both lock and signal in db for a given position when running Auto focus. The Positioner setup is a good tool for satellite alignment, maintenance, and satellite dish antenna setup. Currently Positioner setup favors c band actuators, but efforts have been made to improve ku band as well.

TNAP 5.1 will also have miscellaneous updates from OpenPLi, and again, some of these updates may be noticed while others will not.

Overall, TNAP 5.1 will hopefully be seen as an improvement. Things like displaying signal below lock were added recently to TNAP 5 images and this feature is available to receivers or drivers that support it in TNAP 5.1. Detailed blindscan and satellite scan logs now show what the receiver saw for signal in db at the time when the transponder and or channels were logged.

Please report any problems, issues, or comments about TNAP 5.1 in this thread. Thanks to all that help and continue to support the TNAP images! EB

Thanks for the test image. Did find it crashed when scanning in the ATSC channels.

The ATSC crash should be fixed. Images have been updated. Run Flash image again in receiver menus to get the fix or update.


You may notice a scan time improvement in ATSC.

Some attention has been given to the SF8008 Supreme and should also work on the SF8008. The file structure of the SF8008 and similar receivers such as Ustym4kpro allow for the mounting of the 4 assigned image slots with one command. It is easy to edit images when they are mounted, and the mounting is done automatically at boot if some requirements are met.

Some sort of storage greater than 2GB should be used as mounting the image slots can take some room. The storage path has to be: /media/usb in the receiver files. Make two folders in this storage path named Exactly slot4 and slot4.4. Reboot the receiver and you should find all 4 image slots mounted in the slot4 folder. The image slots will be mounted even if they don't contain an image.

Deleting the slot4 folder while the images are mounted in it will result in a fairly fatal error. Deleting the slot4 folder while the images are mounted is the same as deleting all 4 images at once!. The slot4.4 folder exists for removing the mounted images. You may delete the slot4.4 folder at anytime. The slot4 folder will be empty and nothing will be automatically mounted if the slot4.4 folder Does Not exist.

Be careful with this one!

A manual dish motor start has been added to the blindscan plugin. This feature was added to keep the motor from making unwanted starts. When Start Dish Motor is set to "yes", a call to move the satellite dish will be made and the signal level of the first transponder in the satellite list for the target satellite will be displayed.

The 5G repack changed many transponder frequencies in c band, which means several satellites will show no signal for the first transponder in the targeted satellite transponder list. Editing the satellites.xml file located by default in /etc/tuxbox can help solve this. A few satellites on c band currently do not have an active or full-time transponder. So some satellites in c band may show 0 for a signal ---even with editing until a full time transponder becomes available.

It will be up to the individual user to edit the satellites.xml file.

89w-C band does not have a full-time transponder. This is a great satellite for feeds!

Show satellite Signal-Below-Lock is available on supported receivers in TNAP5.1. The Sf8008 Supreme supports showing a signal below lock with only enigma2 image modifications. The supported Edision receivers need a modified driver to show signal below lock. Modified drivers for the Edision are available in the Plugin feeds under extra. Currently there is no modification for signal below lock for the Original SF8008.

The signal below lock feature needs to be enabled in the Antenna setup for each tuner.

After today's update, still missing some setting options:

..or they are some "cosmetics" settings, not critical.
And the link to openpli site regarding picon are confusing.
In every image, I use to just make a "/picon" folder, & copy all my saved picons in it.

You do realize that these screenshots are OpenVix image????? So what are you asking here? You want OpenVix settings to be included in TNAP?

Hello
no problem with picons with the new version 5.1.
