TNAP-7 Image Discussion

[el bandido]

Attached is an updated plugin, and also attached are health reports generated for the two receivers, SF8008, and Edision Mini4k. Where possible, we will use scripts instead of the AI, and then where needed, we will use scripts + the AI.

What we want to guard against is bad or erroneous information. It is better to generate No information than to generate bad or erroneous information. The AI in this version is easier to work with when compared to the 2025 version.

A thread needs to be started for this aiassistant plugin. Thanks.

Users and testers are wanted for the aiassistant plugin. This project is complex and needs actual user input. What works fine on my receiver may not work so great on your receiver. The more input we have on the plugin, the more useful it will be. Attached are instructions on how to set the plugin up and generate the free key. Development thread is here:

Thread 'AIassistant with TNAP 7'

Sep 2, 2026

Attached are some pixs of the Aiassistant plugin on my SF8008. As you can see it handled the various questions very well. Where is the server error 503 bottleneck coming from? I'll test more items tomorrow. Great job!!!!

To be clear, BOTH usb drives are recognized, but showing insufficient space.
Pick ONE usb drive and insert it into the receiver or remove one usb drive and leave the other. Post the output of these terminal commands:
lsusb
df -h
df -i
blkid
mount | grep /media

here are the outputs:
Forgot to mention that there is no issue with usb backup on other images:vix, atv, etc.

Same issue (error message) with usb backup for mini4k.
if i leave the usb stick plugged in & reboot the box, no more error message !!!
No issue in other images: vix, atv.

Why is your USB drive not mounted?

Why is your USB drive not mounted?

I have no ideea...

 

[el bandido]

....And neither do I. Or why it is formatted as exFAT? That is a new one.

An unmounted drive cannot be written to. If that is or is not the problem, I have no clue as not enough information is given. The supplied terminal commands are for a mounted drive, and provide precious little information on unmounted drives.

The hard disk files for TNAP were looked at with no apparent errors. USB mount files were also looked at. I am able to use any size usb drive in my collection, up to 1 TB and make recordings, image backups...etc. But my drives are mounted. Hot-plugging was also tested.

In a nutshell, your problem cannot be understood or reproduced with the information you have provided. Whatever is causing your drive to be unmounted may be the key. Your image backup error is not enough space...The TNAP image itself checks out clean and working as designed.

My Kingston sticks are all FAT32 formated.
Why are useable only after I leave them plugged in & reboot the box ?

 

[el bandido]

Your blkid screenshot shows the GEEK-16G stick as TYPE="exfat", not FAT32. Also, in the same set of screenshots the stick is detected but not mounted. Did you reformat the stick after those screenshots were taken?
Why they are usable only after they are left plugged in & reboot the box is unknown. My guess is you have something installed that is un-mounting them. It is just a guess. You can try rebooting the box and verify the the usb drive is mounted and run the commands again.

Enigma2 debug might show the problem. Enter this line in telnet or terminal:
init 4 && sleep 5 && ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=5 enigma2 > /tmp/enigma2.log 2>&1
Wait a couple of minutes after entering the above line to give time for the receiver to completely settle. Then put on of your usb drives in the receiver. After that, remove the enigma2.log file from the receiver's /tmp folder and post it. That may show exactly what happens when the usb drive is put into the receiver without a reboot.

This screenshot shows the exFAT:

I'm finding I cannot access my old blind scans anymore. I can see them in /tmp until I reboot my receiver then they are gone as they should be. I have a USB mounted with the required 'ServiceScan' folder. This is the same USB that I use for general use with the Edision. In other words, I have no external HDD at this time. This arrangement has worked fine for a while. But the only blind scans I see in the usual location on my Edision date from earlier this year.

These are the exact paths for the ServiceScan folder:
xml_dir = "/tmp"
/media/usb/ServiceScan
/media/FTA/ServiceScan
/media/hdd/ServiceScan
except:
/tmp
To see what you have, in telnet or terminal:
root@osmini4k:~# cat /proc/mounts | grep ' /media/'
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/hdd exfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/etc/auto.network /media/autofs autofs rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1526,timeout=5,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0
root@osmini4k:~#

Or for a cleaner view:
root@osmini4k:~# awk '$2 ~ "^/media/" {print $2}' /proc/mounts
/media/usb
/media/hdd
/media/autofs
root@osmini4k:~#

And the folder has to be named exactly: ServiceScan

The output paths are absolute. If the path exists, the scan reports will be sent to that location. The path and the folder name have to exist exactly as shown.

I have /media/MASTER and /media/autofs. I don't know why it's called /media/MASTER. This is where any files saved are stored. I tried making /media/usb/ServiceScan. When I did this, a blind scan report was written into it. But usb/ServiceScan was deleted on the next receiver reboot. I tried making /media/MASTER/usb/ServiceScan but nothing was written into it. Can I just rename /media/MASTER to /media/usb? Or would I lose access to all contents in /media/MASTER from the Edision's point of view?

The pre-TNAP7 blind scan reports are still in /media/MASTER/ServiceScan.

 

[el bandido]

This path has never existed in TNAP ServiceScan: /media/MASTER/ServiceScan. Looks like someone has renamed the usb? The paths that were shown are in the code and will work. /media/MASTER/ServiceScan Is Not in the code and never has been. Rename it properly and it will work...

I've tried different ways to rename /media/MASTER to /media/usb but the system won't allow. Any tricks to accomplish this? Or should I create /media/usb, copy over contents of /media/MASTER to /media/usb, then delete /media/MASTER? But after a reboot, /media/usb may get deleted again and then I'm sunk.

I think you run Windows? That is where this will need to be set or corrected. If the USB drive is FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS, plug it into the Windows computer.

In File Explorer:
Open This PC.
Right-click the USB drive.
Choose Rename.
Change MASTER to something such as usb.
Safely eject it.
Plug it back into the Enigma2 receiver.

Then in the receiver, using telnet or terminal: awk '$2 ~ "^/media/" {print $2}' /proc/mounts
You should see:
/media/usb
Or
/media/hdd

Makes sense. Problem solved. Windows renamed the exFAT 128 GB USB stick. I just had to repoint the Edision to the new path to save movies and timeshift. Now I not only have my old blind scan reports, but new reports are getting saved into ServiceScan. I like scanning 105W C just to see the 2000+ channels though most show/play nothing.

Greetings I got around to loading TNAP 7 into my Edison Mio+ and I was going back and forth to the other images in the box and when I was going back to TNAP 7 image,I selected a wrong file and when it finished returning to TNAP7,I am now limited to just a few functions on the remote and when I try to get to the menu page the receiver crashes out.Should I try to reload the image or is there a way I can restore the box back and start fresh.Thanks for your help

 

[el bandido]

Think about it. Little to no information that can be useful. You loaded an image then loaded some file from somewhere ( name of file-source of file unknown), Then the receiver crashes out, which generates a crash log, but no crash log is posted....Two choices: Either be more exact about what happened and post the crash log or reload the image. Probably easier to reload the image. Sorry to hear you had problems!

 

[skink]

The other images in the slots were TNAP5 and ATV 6.4.None of these are multiboot only theTNAP7.I was going back and forth between TNAP5 and TNAP7.In the process of going between these images.there was a prompt in the middle of the screen showing four files with tz and I think bz extension.I was foolishly curious and selected the first entry and now I am here.I have added two shots of the screen showing the message I receive when pushing the menu button.I apologize for not including more information in my initial post.Thanks for the help.
