How to use SBCL with a Dreambox


Introduction


It is possible to watch TPS with a Dreambox. To do this you need to install SBCL/ vplug on your PC and to modify a config file on your Dreambox. You will then to put the new TPS files onto your PC each day.

This guide will use CCcam; it is possible to use other cams if you modify the relevant config file (See appendix not done yet).


Prerequisites

1. Download SBCL/ vplug from here:

_http://dvb-upload.com/index.php?action=preview&pid=101399

or from your preferred satellite download site.

2. Download the latest TPS files from your preferred satellite download site.

3. Find your router here:

_http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm


PC Setup

1. Install SBCL and amend the path in plugins\vplugin.ini to match
2. Put the latest TPS.bin, tps_fns and v_tps.db into the plugins folder
3. Start SBCL (click on the SBCL .exe)
4. Click on the tuner tab and enter your Dreambox IP address
5. Set protocol to newcamd
6. Click the START button
7. Select vplug from the menu bar and select ACTIVE
8. Select vplug from the menu and select SHOW MONITOR



Dreambox setup


1. Install CCcam if not already done.
2. FTP /var/etc/CCcam.cfg to your PC
3. Add this line to your config file usng your IP address (do a FIND on SBCL in the file):

N: 192.168.1.2 6001 test test 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

4. FTP CCcam.cfg back to /var/etc/ on your Dreambox


Date/ time.

1. Open a telnet session to your Dreambox.
2. Type date
3. Set your PC to the same time as your Dreambox


Router setup- optional

You may need to configure you router for port forwarding on port 6001. Setup forwarding on this port to your PC's IP address.

For details on how to do this for your router see here:

_http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm


Firewall

You may need to enable port 6001. For some reason I had to allow port 1034.


Test

With SBCL running on your PC, go to a TPS channel and set CCcam as the default cam.

In the vplug Monitor/ SBCL window you should now see SBCL sending the keys to your Dreambox and you should be able to watch TPS channels


Updating


Stop SBCL and put the latest tps_fns and v_tps.db files into the plugins folder.
Restart SBCL.


Other

You need to update tps_fns and v_tps.db on a daily basis.

p.s. any errors- please post them in the Dreambox General Section.

With the DreamBox, it is possible to receive, read, compose and reply to messages using the latest TuxMail plugins.

Previous versions caused the box to hang, but apparently version 1.41 is a lot more stable.

The tuxmail 1.41 is a mail utility that can be installed in your DreamBox with Gemini 4.0 from the addon (blue) button.
It can show text, but not attachments in other formats (*.doc, *. pdf, *.jpg, etc)

I had a hard time trying to setup it up because I didn't find any documentation in English about how to configure it up.
There were few threads that were helpful in German.
Credit goes to:
http://wiki.tuxbox.org/Plugins:E-Mail
and to LAVAZZA from Dream-P****** with his excellent review and examples.

Procedure:

1 - Enable HTTPD
Blue Button > Extra / Settings > Little Apache > Check Enable/Disable HTTPD > Green Button restart until you see it running

2 - TuxMail 1.41 Installation

Blue Button > addons > download (Gemini Server) > Plugins (30 entries) >
TuxMail 1.41

Download and install as usual, then restart DreamBox.

3 - Initial Testing

Blue Button > Plugins (Tools) > E-Mail

You will see a blue screen with nothing inside except a heading in German

meaning that there is no information.

Click on the Standby button (don't worry it will not shut the box when this plugin is loaded.

You will see this message:

TuxMail Statusinfo
Autostart deaktiviert (meanig: Auto start inactive) Press OK

Press standby button again and the message reads
Autostart Aktiviert (meanig: Auto start is active) Press ok

Next

Click on the mute button and you will see this message
Daemon ist nicht geladen!
Click ok

Click on the mute button again and you will get the same message

Later on when you input the correct configuration, you will get hopefully this message

Daemon ist geladen or the equivalent in English
(Yes, there is an English interface :)


4 - Cofiguring the tuxmail 1.41
4.1 Original file
FTP connect to your box
Look for this file: var/tuxbox/config/tuxmail/tuxmail.conf

Uploaded it to your PC to say /temp and then open it using UltraEdit-32

The file looks like this (We will change for the time being only few, those fields marked in red in order to get it to work and then you can play with the other fields to suit your needs)


STARTDELAY=30
INTERVALL=15

LOGGING=Y
LOGMODE=S

SAVEDB=Y

AUDIO=Y
VIDEO=1

LCD=Y
OSD=G

SKIN=1

TYPEFLAG=1

CONFIGCODE=
ADMIN=Y

MAILCACHE=5
MAILDIR=/tmp/
SECURITY=

WEBPORT=80
WEBUSER=
WEBPASS=

NAME0=
POP30=
IMAP0=
USER0=
PASS0=
SMTP0=
FROM0=CODE0=
AUTH0=
SUSER0=
SPASS0=
INBOX0=

4.2 Modifications and explanations
INTERVALL=15
This is the time interval to fetch messages
Change it to 5
INTERVALL=5

AUDIO=Y
This is a sound alert that you have got mail. Usually it is a *.wav file that is activated when a new message is loaded.
You can change it by uploading your preferred *.wav message. Leave the default as Y, otherwise change it to N if you don't want to get interruptions while you are watching your favourite movie.
AUDIO=Y

VIDEO=1
This is the a flag for a visual indication that you got mail. Options:
1= Plugin starts
2=Enigma popup
3=Neutrino message
4=Neutrino popup
5=No visual indication
I will leave it as 1
VIDEO=1

OSD=G
This is the language interface. Change to E for English
OSD=E

SKIN=1
This is the background color of the interface. 1=Blue, 2=GreyI will keep it in Blue
SKIN=1

WEBUSER=

WEBPASS=

This is the the DreamBox login and password. Change to the usual values, unless you have changed the password.

WEBUSER=root
WEBPASS=dreambox

NAME0=
This is the login name to your mail box (inbox)
If your name is John Smith and you have an account with yahoo.com, then
NAME0=john_smith@yahoo.com

POP30=
This is the mail server method for pop3. For the above example
POP30=pop.mail.yahoo.com

USER0=
This is the user name without the @
USER0=John_Smith

PASS0=
This is your mail account password, let us say John Smith password is 12345678
PASS0=
12345678


SMTP0=
This is the outgoing mail server to enable you to send messages
SMTP0=smtp.mail.yahoo.com

FROM0=
This is your full e-mail address
FROM0=john_smith@yahoo.com
CODE0=
This is a PIN number that you can choose so that only you can see the e-mail messages. You get a popup message asking for the PIN number when you load the plugin.

AUTH0=
This is the authentication flag for SMTP. Change it to 0 , unless you need SMTP authentication. Options:
0=none
1=POP3 parameter
2=SMTP USER? and PASS?Note1: The "0" indicates the number of the user.
It is possible to check the mail of several people, all you have to do is change 0 to 1, 2, 3, etc. and add to the configuration file.Note 2
: I had a rough time between the
NAME0=
andUSER0=
I finally used the same for both i.e john_smith@yahoo.com and it worked for me.
But you have to experiment until you get the correct setting.

When you have made all the changes to the file, save it as a unix file and using your usual FTP application, replace the original file (overwrite).

I suggest that you keep the original file in a safe place so that you can refer to it afterwards since things get a bit messy until you get the tuxmail to work.

Then restart the Dreambox.


5 - How to initialize TuxMail

Just click on blue button > plugins > E-Mail
Then follow the procedure in
3 - Initial Testing

After a little while (assuming you have got your setup correctly), press the red button and you should see your mail inbox with unread messages with yellow flag dots.
Select any message with the up-down buttons and then click on the yellow button to read it.
Exit with the Lame red button and you are back to the mail message list.

Click on the green button and you get the reply interface.
With a DreamBox Keyboard, composing and replying to messages can be a lot more convenient.Click on the yellow button several times until you see "
Keyboard"You have to check if your outgoing mail is working.Send a short message to yourself and if you receive it in your Outlook in your PC or in tuxmail, then you have a working system.

With the window showing the messages list, you can mark messages as spam by pressing on the blue button. The message is flaged in red.
When you exit the TuxMail and then load it after a while, you will notice that the spam messages have been deleted.

6- Exit using the Lame button.

Hope that with this procedure you will get tuxmail to work for you in a very short time.
It took me 3 days to qualify as an Idiot :)

How to type data with a DreamBox Receiver

DreamBox satellite receivers can be used in addition to the usual channels reception as a mail client and to browse the internet.
Mail client Tuxmail 1.41 works very well with the 7000S and also with other models.
See thread on Tuxmail here and in the
The Idiot/\'s Guide


It is also possible to browse the internet using the Links Web Browser. To install see this thread.

In addition, you may need to edit data directly in your configuration files and "other files" using Tux Commander.
This will saves you doing the FTP routine.

For all these tasks a suitable inputting device is needed in order to make life a little bit easier.
The standard remote control that comes with each receiver can be used to do the editing of all the above tasks.
But it is very limited with the number of keys that it has and in order to type an ASCII character, you would need to make several clicks on a certain number key in order to type the specific character.

A better solution would be to use the DreamBox Keyboard which has many additional features such as function keys.
It is small in size, has an ergo shape, lightweight. In short a perfect solution, except for it's price.
In Germany (I suppose a German model) it costs 69 Euro and in the UK (English model) 49 quid.
Add to this the shipment cost of 6-25 quid depending on your location.

Type of DreamBox Receivers

There are two types of receivers. With a USB connector at the back such as the 7000S and without as in the 500 and 600 models.

For receivers without a USB connector, the only inputting devices that can be used are either the remote or the DreamBox Keyboard.
(Before buying, check with the dealer if it can work with your specific model)

Receivers with a USB connector can have a much cheaper solution by using a standard keyboard with a USB plug or if it has a PS/2 connector, use a PS/2-USB adapter.
You will also need an extension cable of about 2m in order to enable you to use it while sitting in your TV couch.
Just be careful that you or one of the family members would not trip on the cable, in the usually darkened sitting room.

There are mini USB keyboards which are smaller in size than the standard ones, since it doesn't have a keypad.
They are slim, lightweight and they cost about $10-15.

With such a keyboard, you can reply, compose an e-mail message, type the URL of the website that you want to browse very quickly. Just like using your PC.
You would need to use also the small remote control, especially the four coloured buttons in order to navigate.

If you do use a USB keyboard, then you might need to buy a USB hub with several inputs in order to accommodate both the USB memory stick if you are using one for the /var and for the USB wired keyboard.

Wireless Keyboard (RF)

I was also going to consider testing a wireless keyboard (RF, NOT IR), but when I checked the distance range in the product specification, it turned out to be around 2 meters, which is less than the average distance of 3-5 meters between your TV couch and the receiver so I abandoned the test. You would also need a USB connecter for the USB RF receiver that comes with the wireless keyboard. In addition, you need batteries for the keyboard.
Another worrying point is that wireless keyboards are meant to be used with PCs and they come with software installation and I wasn't sure if it would work with the DreamBox without any software.

Tuxmail Edit Procedure

Switch on the box and load the Tuxmail.
With the green button, it is possible to edit an e-mail message.
Click the yellow button several times until Keyboard is displayed.
Move the curser to a new line and start typing a short reply with the keyboard.
All the ASCII characters can be typed as if you are typing using a PC.
Also the space, delete, backspace, etc are functional.
The Shift, Alt, Ctrl keys are not functional.
When you are ready to send the reply, click on the yellow button until you see ABC
Click OK and a popup message asks you if you want to send the message
Click OK and the message is sent successfully.

Tux Commander Edit Procedure

It is also possible to edit text files using a keyboard.
For example, if you have Tux Commander, load it and then edit config files or keys.
You need to press OK on the remote in order to enable editing with the keyboard. (The Enter key is not functional in this case)

Links Web Browser Edit Procedure

If you have Links Web Browser, you can use the small remote control, DreamBox Keyboard or the USB keyboard.

Credit goes to _http://www.sat-industry.net for this valuable info when using the small remote.
(The USB keyboard can be used mainly for typing text, but you may find that other keys can be used to navigate more effectively).

Some channels such as Premiere Sport and Premiere Direkt carry subservices.

To access these channels, go to Premiere Sport (for example) and then press the green button on your remote to see a list of the subservices available and select one to view it.

To view the EPG and set the timer for a channel, including those with subservices, press the red button. Select the programme to record and then press the green button to go the timer edit page- fill this in as required and press the green button to apply the timer recording.

EDIT: I found the above didn't work when trying to record a sub-channel(it may do for you).

To record a sub-channel:

Select Premier Sport in the channel list.

Press the red button and scroll to the correct programme.

Press the green button to set the Timer.

Unlike the normal timer recording there will not be a little red clock in the EPG to show a timer event has been set.

It can be very helpful when asking a question to include screenshots.

To take a screenshot you will be your Dreambox and a PC connected to the same router.


On your Dreambox

Navigate to the screen that you wish to take screenshot. In this example I navigated to:

Menu > 6 > service searching > satellite configuration

(attachment picture #1)


On your PC

1. In a web browser type in the IP address of your dreambox e.g.
Code:
http://192.168.0.11

and you should see the Enigma Web Interface for your Dreambox (attachment picture #2)

2. Click on Control and then Screenshot

Save the image.


To attach the screenshot to your post, click Go Advanced and click Manage Attachments to browse to the image on your PC and attach the image.

Addition (by T_G) :)
By the way, you can use the "Remote Control" feature on your web browser to navigate to the menus of the Dreambox (see attached image 3)

If you use the Gemini image this is how to do a manual install of a plugin or cam. The steps may vary for other images.

1. Download the file from your favourite site. It will probably be .tar.bz or .gz or similar.

2. FTP this file (do not unzip or unrar it) into /tmp (/var/tmp may work but I've tested it from that directory).

3. If using Gemini (other images may have different buttons/ options) press:

blue button > addons > Manual install


4. You will see your recently FTPd file listed. If not then it has not been recognized and it is the wrong format. See here for a post that may help.

5. Select your file and press the green button to Install it. Ensure there is enough room in /var if you use a DM500s

6. If your install has been sucessful you can now use whatever you installed.

If this a cam/ emu go to:

blue panel > Auto-Cam setup

If you installed a plugin go to:

blue panel > plugins

and select your recently installed plugin. If this was the HackSat plugin select it and press OK. Use the < > remote keys to highlight the emu that you use and press OK. It will now download and install the latest keys if you have an internet connection.

Member nitrocrzy had problems mounting a NAS on his Dreambox.

This solution worked for him:

root@dreambox:~> smbmount //reb_disk/movies /mnt/hdd
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /lib/lmhosts. Error was No such file or directory
security=share
smb: \> mount /hdd
root@dreambox:~> df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3968 3968 0 100% /
/dev/mtdblock/1 2816 1508 1308 54% /var
//REB_DISK/MOVIES 292945920 32768 292913152 0% /var/mnt/hdd
root@dreambox:~>


Quick explanation:

smbmount //reb_disk/movies /mnt/hdd

replace //reb_disk/movies with your NAS shared folder name and you may need to replace /mnt/hdd with your local mount point name.

df

This is a linux command that reporst how much free disk space is available for each mount you have.

How to Find your Dreambox Pin using Tux Commander

If there is a PIN set on your dreambox and you've forgotten it you can find it using Tux Commander (also known as Tuxbox Commander).

Most images have this plugin and it’s accessable via the plugins menu. If you don't have it you will need to install it.

Start Tux Commander and go to

/var/tuxbox/config/enigma

and find a file called config

View it and look for lines similar to these, but with hex values after the =

i:/elitedvb/pins/parentallock=
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=


These are hex numbers.

Use your windows calculator in Scientific mode, click on Hex, enter the value in your file (last 4 numbers, not with the zeros in front of them), click Dec and that is your PIN.

It might be useful if you could control your Dreambox from a computer outside of your own network. People who do cardsharing already have this in place, but it might be useful to control your box even without cardsharing. You could add files to the VAR, reboot or set a timer etc.
The instructions look a bit complicated but they are not that difficult.

For this to work you will need:


  • A Dreambox connected to a network which is connected to the internet. If your Dreambox is not yet online, see the other posts about this in the idiot guide.
  • A static IP address, or register a dyndns host address. Most internet connections given by your provider are not static, i.e. the IP address changes all the time. So you need to go to w*w.dyndns.org and register there (free of charge). Write down your login and password, you will need it later. Once you are registered, you go to "my account", then "add host services" (also free of charge). Register a host, for instance "idiot.kick-ass.net".
  • Setup your router:
    Port forwarding for FTP and HTML
    You will need to "port forward" port 21 (for FTP) and port 80 (for web) of your Dreambox. This is done in your DSL router setup. Tip: Usually your router will be controlled from your web browser using the ip 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or similar. You should either know it anyway, or you could look it up on the router's manufacturer website. They will usually list the default IP and login/password of the router. Once you are inside the router, you will find the port forwarding menu. Usually there will be pre-sets for ftp and web, and all you need to do is put in your dreambox IP (see screenshot). Repeat the same for the web (or html). If there are no presets, then simply name it whatever you like, and put the 21 in the TPS and UDP boxes.
  • Dynamic DNS
    Find the Dynamic DNS menu of your router. Usually there will be a pulldown menu where you will find an entry called DynDNS.org, then enter the host name you have registered before, as well as your username and password (see screenshot). Don't forget to enable the DYNDNS and to save your settings.
    Change password of your Dreambox
    This is very important, if you don't do this then someone who knows your IP address or your DYNDNS host name could log in to your Dreambox and violate it so to say. To change the dreambox password see here

19277d1229813293-ultimate-idiot-guide-idiots-idiots-answers-questions-tips-tricks-rtfm-ftp-port-forwarding-jpg


19278d1229813293-ultimate-idiot-guide-idiots-idiots-answers-questions-tips-tricks-rtfm-speedport-dyndns-jpg


If everything went right, you can now log to your Dreambox using the following commands in your internet browser (obviously you need to enter either your static IP or your own dyndns host name), or FTP to the box:

  • Put in your internet browser _http://idiot.kick-ass.net:80 - a popup will open asking you for your Dreambox login name (root) and password (which you hopefully have changed!!)

  • Put in your internet browser _ftp://idiot.kick-ass.net:21 - again a popup with te login details will ahem popup. This will allow you to view all the files and most of the contents such as key files in your browser. This is very useful indeed, and as far as I know you can look at the files without being able to do any damage to your box.

  • You can now connect via a normal FTP program (such as filezilla) using the dyndns host name, when asked for the server name in case you need to send a new file to your Dreambox while away from home.

  • Another nice feature of the ftp port opening is that you can add the Dreambox FTP as a network resource, so now you can connect to your dreambox file system from "my computer", for that click on the "add network resource" and add _ftp://idiot.kick-ass.net. After the login you will be connected to your box. You can then add files to the VAR for instance, but you cannot change the CHMOD.

The DM500s doesn't support gotoXX. The long way is to use stored positions is described below.

Please note that your "drive to zero" satellite (1W in this example) will depend on where you are in the world.


Go to Menu > service searching > motor setup

Mode: drive to zero

and press go

Then change the mode to position and select 1W:

Satellite: 1W
Drive the motor to zero.

Mode: Position
Satellite: 1W

then use the < > arrows to move the dish until you get a lock. STORE the position (I use the same number as the satellite).

Then SEARCH.

Repeat for 13E, 19E, 28E, storing the position for each.

If you use gotoXX you shouldn't have to do it but I couldn't get it to work with my 7020 (and it doesn't work at all with a 500s).

Your screens and options may vary slightly depending on the Dreambox model and image that you have.


Extra info:

Mode is position, drive to zero and a few options.

SATELLITE has the list of satellites.

In simple terms you drive the motor back to zero so you have a fixed position.

Then you change the MODE back to position, select the satellite from the list next to SATELLITE.

Then you move the motor (dish) using the < > arrows (these move the dish east and west).

When you get a lock on the satellite you chose, you store it's position and then go to the next menu screen and scan it.

The Dreambox is very fussy about dish positioning - what works with another receiver doesn't with a Dreambox. I fine tune my elevation on 1W using a sat meter before finding positions and scanning - it makes a big difference.

It is also not a quick/ easy thing to do first time. It took me two weeks to do the first time, mainly because what I thought was my 1W position was actually 5E (they use some of the same transponder numbers).

Gemini images are quite popular, but some time ago they decided they will not allow cams on their download server. If you would still like to use the blue button download option you will need to ad some download servers.

For that you need to open up the useraddon.xml which is in the /var/tuxbox/config folder with a suitable editor program. Replace the content of the useraddon.xml with the text below and you will have a lot of options now :)

Tip: Backup the original file before replacing it, just in case!

WARNINGS:

1) I have used these servers for ages, some are not working anymore, some have older cams and are not up to date. Look and you shall find.
2) I have tested it only on my ENIGMA 1 box with the GEMINI image on it, I don't know if the stuff there will work on Enigma2 and other images. It is well worth a try though...if all goes wrong there is always the Null Modem cable :)
3) I can't remember from where I got this file originally - but well done to the unknown hero who freed us from manual installations!!
