Just got a USB key; put it in..
there was already a USB mounted (/dev/mmcblk0p4) and the new USB device not showing.
reboot
new device now showing in device manager
attempt to 'initilaize' the device; 1 partition ext4
error - 'partition failed'
so 2 questions really.
1. why was there already a USB device when there was no physical device
and
2. how to set up the new USB key
EPG search on https://github.com/oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins/tree/2.3/epgsearch has recently had some interesting enhancements (search scope on current service/current bouquet/all bouquets/all services and option to show the orbital position).
I can warmly advise PLi to cherry pick those enhancements.
attached a patch to fix EPG encoding for UPC, in the current file there are just 2 transponders out of 11. If possible please apply. Thanks.

Hello Friends,
Attached is a new enigma2 plugin Exodus. It is mainly based on the popular Kodi plugin.video.exodus originally by Lambda (https://forums.tvaddons.ag/).
It is a simple plugin to watch movies and tv from imdb lists.
To install - ftp the .ipk to /tmp and do telnet command :-
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk
To use the subtitles facility please unzip the attached folder subssupport and ftp it to the plugin folder :-
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/Exodus.
Regards, pcd.
Hi Friends,
With the attached plugin - it is possible to configure Mainmenu items using these options :-
Vertical list (normal menu)
Horizontal animated (moving items)
Horizontal icons (fixed scrollable items)
The plugin first installs a HD skin as <Default-skin> and a new skin Default-SD.
One advantage of the HD <Default-skin> is that skinners do not need to skin all screens - because the default screens will be HD size.
Skinners please note : Any new skin which wants to use the animated and icon options must have the following items (see them in the skin-default xml ) :-
Screens "Animmain" and "Iconmain"

Hi to all,
I need some help to adjust the BackupSuite to make it suitable for the Openpli HD51 image.
I looked at the OpenATV solution of making a backup of the HD51 but I don't have enough info to adjust it to make is compatible with Openpli because OpenATV has also the multiboot part.
The OpenATV image differs from the Openpli image in several ways:
Openpli's image only contains the file Disk.img
OpenATV has also a kernel.bin and rootfs.tar.bz2
I understand that OpenATV's image is a multiboot image hence the additional files(?)
OpenATV has 4 different parts which contains each a kernel and a root, is this also in Openpli?
What is needed to make a working backup of an Openpli HD51 image?
Which package provides mkfs.msdos (if needed at all in the Openpli image, for the Solo2 this file isn't available in e2fsprogs-mke2fs)
Which package provides mcopy (if needed at all in the Openpli image)
So, who can guide me a bit in the backup process for the HD51, which steps have to be taken to make a Disk.img which can be restored.
The fact that I have no HD51 to test, is no contributing factor to a successful backup to say the least 
The part hereunder is taken from the OpenATV solution ImageBackup.py and I understand most of it but is this also applicable for the Openpli image and are the mentioned sizes hard sizes or can these differ?
(code hereunder is solely in Pyhon but for me it shall be transformed in a bash script)
Some help would be greatly appreciated, it would be a pity if there is no BackupSuite for the Mutant HD51

From my small patch for openPli

good evening
Can someone please merge the pull request in EPGImportFilter in E2OpenPlugins.
https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-EPGImportFilter/pull/1
thanks!

I think it should be soon a necessity to have a common repository for system and major extensions plugins strictly open sources because of licenses that could limited all the official plugins to be used only on dmm hardware.
There are many teams that could contribute like Pli, Black Hole, Vti, Vix, Sif and so on.
All the teams could have a section in their boards about the project so the plugins should be tested by many users on all the boxes.
I think the man that have the skill and maturity to manage this kind of project are you: pieterg.
does anyone have any tip for this one ?
