Commando 10c

Continuing with the continuous, "Commando update 'n tweak system"

Commando 10c

==========================================

Bugs fixed:
No scrolling in Bouquet Editor (CVS bug, now fixed)
NFS bug (missing file- should now be OK)

What's New, then?

7 Day EPG v3

With the valued assistance of FreddyFrog, we've given the EPG a major make-over, including:

+ A new Blue button menu for 7 Day EPG


+ Option to change the default 'standard' sectionsd EPG to 7 Day EPG for YOUR provider!



+ dbox automatically switches to the PVR_EPG channel in Standby Mode - to pull in the extended 7 days epg. When you wake the box up, it switches back to the previously viewed channel. Always assuming that the PVR_EPG channel actually exists in your services.xml file- for without it, you'll be peeing into the wind, so far as extended EPG is concerned!

+ Simplified daily Timers

You can easily edit these times up or down in hourly increments, to suit your daily routine. The channel you wake up to is entirely dependant on your preferred settings in Settings > Misc > Zapit Config -ie:

Save last Channel = true (you'll wake up to RedHot 40+ Wives )

Save last Channel = false
Start TV Channel on = (whatever channel you select)

***** [Edit by AL: Talking outa my ass there! With that set of Timers, the box will wake up to BBC ONE. So if you want a different channel to show- just delete that middle timer and make a new 'daily' Zapto timer using your preferred wake-up channel. Eazy peazy!] *****


Even if you are running with sectionsd in 'standard' mode, (which usually gives a maximum of 15 hours epg across all channels), you'll find these daily timers will now give you 3 to 4 Days EPG!! Also, users who prefer this mode can still restrict selected channels to Now 'n Next epg only, by populating the old_epgfilter.xml file in accordance with the simple instructions in the header text of that file.

When switching from standard to 7 Day (for ntl, ex-C&W, or TW)- or vice versa, a reboot is required so the new epgfilter data is read into memory. A pop-up message will ask you if you want to do this.

Experienced 7 Day EPG users can edit 'their' filter file (ntl, C&W, TW) - as whichever one has been selected is now SymLinked 'as' epgfilter.xml

'Your' filter contains the channels you do want long EPG for.

Summary: A famous politician once said "You can't please all the people all the time". Well, Team-Commando and FreddyFrog have done their utmost to prove that theory wrong, at least in the EPG department!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say thank you for the image, it works very well in a sagem 1x and the 7 day epg is a very nice extra.

I am a novice to image manipulation/writing but thanks to guys like you I am getting drawn into this field now.

Your efforts are much appreciated

Regards

[cdh555]

Lock the thread then Al that way it can't be dragged from the depths again and the information remains....


Good idea, m8- but I'll let Renny decide on that one (and 10b, and 10 original)- Cheers- AL

All Commando 10 releases are FTA-only, ie: No cams, no roms, no keys. So you'll need to save certain files from your working CF image for use in C10.

And you should really be looking at the latest release- Commando 10d, not 10c!!

Cheers- AL
