Correct Time On The DBox2 ?

[GAH]

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to get my Nokia Dbox2 to display the correct time for my timezone? Here in Scotland we are one hour behind Germany, and I was wondering if there was any way to offset the time being sent to the box. I was able to do just that when I had a Nokia 9600 with DVB software.

AFAIK the time displayed depends from the service selected. f.i. when i watched iraq tv i had iraq time. so i guess there is no (easy) way to solve your problem

Hi Essu,

Thanks for the quick reply. I just thought that I could offset the time by -1 hour in the same way as I could with old Nokia 960 with DVB. That way, watching any European channel would show the correct time for the UK.

Thanks anyway,
GAH

I m not sure if its the same with neutrino, i read about a possibility to set a timezone. just search for "timezone" and you will find it. its mostly in german...

well, the developers are working on a timzone-selection for enigma.
So be patient, I think it'll soon be ready and released.

actually, there are two issues:

a.) Not all broadcasters are broadcasting the UTC, as they should according to the etsi specs. I really don't know what they think about when they read "UTC", but somehow they think it's their local time ... they must be really braindead. (sorry)

b.) Enigma is yet unable to change the timezone, which is currently hardcoded in the init-scripts to MET / MEST. You can change the TZ-environment variable in the init-script to the right value. Don't ask me WHICH value, sorry, i'm not a specialist, and we have no zoneinfo-db on the dbox2, so you have to specify the daylight-saving times.

Currently, __ghost__ is working on a timezone selection in enigma, as well as some workaround/correction for the buggy transponders.

Hi,

try to include this in the start_enigma in /var/tuxbox just in the line above the /bin/enigma-call. That should do the trick

Code: Alles auswählen

export TZ=GMT0BST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3

Hi Coronas,

I can't seem to find a file called "start_enigma" in the var\tuxbox folder, or am I looking in the wrong place ?

Hi GAH,

If you're out of luck, it's in /etc/init.d - and that's most probably in the read-only part of the image... thus editing is a no-go , unless you find some editing-tools for windows (or start building your own image). As I banned MS some time ago from my harddisks, I'm not able to assist you there.
Maybe someone out there knows if the tuxbox-flashtools (think this was the name of the program) are still valid for the current images?

Sorry, m8

well it's very easy to do a "workaround" for this
just open a telnet session on your box.
then go into /var/tuxbox.
There you'll find a symlink to the "start_enigma" in your /etc/init.d
Delete this one by typing: rm -rf start_enigma
Now the symlink ist deleted.

Now open a ftp-connection and copy the start_enigma out of /etc/init.d
Make your changes and do a upload via ftp.
but DON'T restart right now!

go back to your telnet session an do a: chmod +x start_enigma
in /var/tuxbox
make a "ls" now.
The file start_engima should now be marked green (executeable)
now you can reset your box by typing: reboot

well it's very easy to do a "workaround" for this ;)

How about this:

Code: Alles auswählen

cd /var/tuxbox/
cp -f /etc/init.d/start_enigma .

now everything is done with only 2 lines
incredible how easy this could be..
