TNAP-4.1-Test Images for Edision MIO/MIO+

[el bandido]

Updates to the TNAP image are being made, Test versions of TNAP 4.1 are available to be downloaded. These images are tested to boot and function correctly, but some adjustments need to be made and a few more items need to be added. Efforts are made on TNAP images to enhance blind scanning of DVB satellites, and to make the receiver more useful for users in North America. Some features or items may be missing that are useful in Europe or other parts of the world.

You may access the TNAP 4.1 test images by installing the attached plugin, or by installing the same plugin located in the receiver's downloadable plugins under "extra" plugins as shown below. Installing the TNAP 4,1 flashimage plugin does nothing more than set the correct url in the receiver to download the 4.1 images. Select the Flash image menu in the receiver after installing the 4.1 flashimage plugin. (Ask if you need more assistance with this.)

Test images are test images. Comments or suggestions about making things better are welcome. Downloading and installing anything is done at your own risk!
Making a full backup of the current image is suggested before installing TNAP 4.1. Doing this allows foe a complete restore point. TNAP 4.1 may also be installed in a different slot as the receivers have 4 slots available for image installations.

I just installed TNAP 4.1. I can't find a way to sync time.

 

[el bandido]

The SystemTime Plugin has been discontinued in TNAP 4.1. Time control has been made to be automatic, and does not require much input from the user. Currently there are no plans to add a manual time sync for the user, but we can probably add one if it is really needed. For now, run it like it is and see how the time works.

There will be time problems if the settings file is not cleaned!
SystemTime is built into TNAP 4.1 images which means that all references to time must be removed from the settings file that is located in /etc/enigma2 of the receiver's file system. Failure to remove the time references from the settings file will result in erratic time keeping!

Here is an old settings file that has been previously installed in TNAP images, and is also in TNAP 4.1:

config.epg.freesat=false
config.epg.netmed=false
config.epg.viasat=false
config.misc.hotkey.blue=MenuPlugin/scan/blindscan
config.misc.hotkey.green=Infobar/openServiceList
config.misc.hotkey.red=MenuPlugin/scan/positioner_setup
config.misc.useTransponderTime=false
config.misc.videowizardenabled=false
config.Nims.0.configMode=advanced
config.Nims.1.configMode=advanced
config.plugins.bitrate.background=#54111112
config.plugins.bitrate.show_in_menu=infobar
config.plugins.bitrate.style_skin=compact
config.plugins.bitrate.x=1647
config.plugins.bitrate.y=822
config.plugins.bitrate.z=10
config.plugins.SystemTime.syncNTPcoldstart=true
config.plugins.SystemTime.useNTPminutes=2880
config.plugins.SystemTime.wifi_delay=15
config.plugins.weathermsn.city=atlanta
config.plugins.weathermsn.degreetype=F
config.plugins.weathermsn.windtype=fts
config.skin.primary_skin=GlamourAuraFHD/skin.xml
config.usage.infobar_frontend_source=tuner
config.usage.setup_level=expert
config.usage.subnetwork_cable=true
config.usage.subnetwork_terrestrial=true

In the above example, we need to remove 4 lines of code. This can be done using telnet by entering the init 4 command to sleep the receiver, then navigate in to the settings file and remove the needed lines. Entering the init 3 command will restart the system.

Make sure the box has a good working internet connection, edit the settings file as shown above, then either reboot the box or wait wait for the time to sync, which should be about 30 minutes for ntp.

A lot of users will transfer their settings file automatically when updating or changing images. This is OK to do most of the time, but once some entries are put into the settings file, they will stay there until manually deleted. This is why sometimes a "Fresh Install" is suggested or recommended.

Yep I setup TNAP 4.1 clean without restoring settings and no time problem here. about 48 hours now. I did have to set the video refresh rate to 60Hz it was set at 50Hz to start with.

 

[el bandido]

TNAP 4.1 was shipped with the settings file shown in post#3, so you need to clean it.
I will try to update the images tomorrow where they have this settings file:

config.epg.freesat=false
config.epg.netmed=false
config.epg.viasat=false
config.misc.hotkey.blue=MenuPlugin/scan/blindscan
config.misc.hotkey.green=Infobar/openServiceList
config.misc.hotkey.red=MenuPlugin/scan/positioner_setup
config.misc.videowizardenabled=false
config.Nims.0.configMode=advanced
config.Nims.1.configMode=advanced
config.plugins.bitrate.background=#54111112
config.plugins.bitrate.show_in_menu=infobar
config.plugins.bitrate.style_skin=compact
config.plugins.bitrate.x=1647
config.plugins.bitrate.y=822
config.plugins.bitrate.z=10
config.plugins.weathermsn.city=atlanta
config.plugins.weathermsn.degreetype=F
config.plugins.weathermsn.windtype=fts
config.skin.primary_skin=GlamourAuraFHD/skin.xml
config.usage.infobar_frontend_source=tuner
config.usage.setup_level=expert
config.usage.subnetwork_cable=true
config.usage.subnetwork_terrestrial=true

Thanks for the 50Hz info.

A good tip! I have those references in my settings file. I will clean and try the clock again.

Added: Have edited the settings file. I'll keep my Mio+ in Standby and see how the clock behaves.

Hello ,
a small problem with this version 4.1 of TNAP.
when I want to get the list of satellites by pressing green,
I only get "current transponder".
is there a way to get the satellite list?

on the other hand the T2MI Plugin is again present
and when it is activated, the T2MI works perfectly

have a good day

Press the green button again. It should then show the list of satellites.

 

[el bandido]

Code lines that start with config.misc.useTransponderTime or config.plugins.SystemTime have been blackballed. These lines of code will automatically be deleted from the /etc/enigma2/settings file when using images that are dated 20210809 or later. I do not like to set up automatic deletes like this, but someone will always have a time issue due to loading old settings unless this is done. Anyone loading TNAP 4.1 image that is dated 20210809 or later should not worry about editing the settings file for now. This will not be changed unless it starts giving problems.

Updated images are available as shown here:



There was never a time issue with TNAP 4.0 for users that put the receiver in standby while watching a terrestrial channel that had correct time. There should not be any time issues in TNAP 4.1 with correctly set internet connections when the receiver is put in standby if ntp is selected as shown here:


config.ntp.timesync=ntp will be added to the default settings file for TNAP 4.1. This code line sets the receiver for ntp operation, but will probably be overwritten if settings are transferred from a previous image. It is important to check the receiver menu shown above and make sure the time settings are correct for your system!

Press the green button again. It should then show the list of satellites.

Thanks for your advice cyberman,
Unfortunately this does not work.

another method to get the list of satellites?
because currently version 4.1, because of this problem, is not really usable for my needs.

have a good day

 

[el bandido]

Press the green button once gives the channels for the satellite you are tuned to.
Press the green button twice gives the satellite list.

We need to find out why your receiver does not do this.

 

[stephan94]

I am in Germany, I always put the menu in German language.
I wanted to make a video to show you the problem, so that
it is easier for you, I changed the language and I put the menu in English,
and suddenly, what a surprise, by pressing the green button, the list of satellites
appeared ?! it's great I will finally be able to work with version 4.1.
What does not solve this problem: why with the German language it does not work.
In all other versions since the start of TNAP, I have never encountered this problem.

and if everything works correctly I would soon delete version 4.0 because the T2MI does not work with it.

have a good day

I see the problem now. Do not know what it will take to fix the problem today.

Your 4.0 image is old. You may install this 4.0 image with T2MI option: https://legitfta.com/forum/showthread.php?26983-TNAP-4-Images-for-OSMIO4K-20201221

 

[el bandido]

T2MI plugins were added to the TNAP 4.0 image feeds a few minutes ago. They were missing for some reason... Run software update to see them.

The satellites and language issue will be fixed soon in TNAP 4.1.

Hello el bandido
another problem, this time with the KA band.
I am using a modified LNB to be able to get the frequencies of the KA (A) band 18200-19200.
my LOF (20357) is higher than the search band (as in band C)
This possibility existed (huevos), we had discussed it a lot with you among other things in PM at the end of 2018
but it has disappeared so the value of the frequency found is bad.
Could there be a way to have that possibility again

Thanks in advance

Stephan

ps: I know this request is a bit larger than topic TNAP4.1

 

[el bandido]

The satellite display should be fixed. Flash New Image to test. Thanks.

With the latest 20210813 getting a crash doing a tuner configuration change. I can post the log if it is not happening on your box EB.

 

[el bandido]

Need to see the crash log. NimManager was updated/changed. Thanks.

 

[Megatron817]

Crash log

Also did a factory reset. Did not crash anymore but my favorites list did not get erased after the factory reset like they should have been.
