Hello Lost4ever,

This is a known bug of the original drivers for DM8000HD when used on OE2.0 like we do, we are patching new drivers and only when it will be ready this problem will be fixed.

You need until then, to turn off the box power, wait 1 minute and turn it on, and this could be necessary few times, until you have the OpenPLi landscape, that shows that all booted fine and drivers worked.

The best tip, is just reboot Enigma2/GUI/OpenPLi and not the whole box/linux.

Thanks Toysoft for your replay.

I will do the things you sugested

We improved a lot this issue on the last (next) version, v22... so this is now under testing,

The Original drivers are still not fully fixed, when these will be available we will announced it. On the last update we done some modifications but its still not 100% success at boot as for example on DM800HD and DM500HD.

Hello i see this thread has not been updated in a while

is there any progress on this problem

There is no update yet for DM8000HD, this was fixed by the release of new drivers last month for DM800HDseV1, DM500HD and also DM800HDseV2.

So we have to wait new drivers for DM8000HD.

TS

Just asking because this box is slowly going to be end off live, i would like to be informed how things are going, it`s nice to see al new boxes being supported but this old beast becomes a bit off neglected i think. So some updates good or bad keeps us users more patiently i guess.

The DM8000HD is absolutely not an old box in the facts, the important is just software.

We are working on the next generation of drivers, as we done for DM800HDpvr (in 2015-2016), DM500HD, DM800HDse and DM800HDseV2 in July 2017, DM520HD/DM525HD in April 2017... so we hope to release very soon the new drivers generation with all the new images OpenPLi IPTV 4.0/4.0+/5.0+/6.0+/6.0_RC, OpenBlackHole 4.0+ IPTV and DE-OpenBlackHole 1.5+...

Then you will see that your box will work even better than new boxes as H265 is for now not really used or channels not available to FTA Boxes, that there is a LOT of Flash and RAM on the DM8000HD, and this competes with new boxes...

So I would bet that once we have released the new software, your box will at least last for next 3-5 years again... remember Software is what does all ! DM520HD and DM900UHD are WORST than the DM800HDpvr in matter of software (Perhaps OpenATV 6.x is a little better than all other images for these boxes, but still crashes/fails with most IPTV)... yes, and the DM8000HD is 10 times better than the DM800HDpvr...

Nice to read , but like i said keep us dm8000 users more involved in to progress good or bad, i`m very keen with openpli4 but sometimes the box hangs and a simple restart is`nt reliable for a continues work i have to stay with the receiver untill a good start is there. that was the problem with ferari but it`s after al those years even with japhar the biggest mis i`ve had in a reciever. So if the drivers are good old or new that problem has to be fixed even if we stay at openpli4 , witch is perfect for what the dm8000 is ment to be.

Hello Barrr,

As you seen we released the new drivers in July for DM800HDse, DM800HDseV2 and DM500HD, in April for DM520HD, and we had since some time the DM800HDpvr drivers.

We are in the way on the DM8000HD drivers, but until these doesn't work as all the others above, the job is not finished, and completion is impossible to evaluate in time still needed to finalize all. Just keep an eye here, once it's ready we will publish all here,

Admin

Any news... things we can test?

Still on it, when finished we will anounced/email members about it.

Admin

any progress ?

Still working on it, when available we will publish here and announce it naturally (about the new DM8000HD patched drivers),

Admin

any updates something to test ?

No, as wrote few times, we will publish here on this forum the OS, so you have to wait for it. Once the job will be finished it will be published here.

Admin

It`s awfully quiet

People are working, and we have more than 15000 posts of interest, most of them images... every image is a lot of work before just posting it.

Admin

Still nothing ? i think the dm8000 box dies before there`s an update

;o(, I am like you, all my boxes at home are DM8000HD, waiting as you the new drivers for DM8000HD...

All the images the Team releases are compiled for DM8000HD as well, but the bit missing is the DM8000HD Patched Drivers.

Admin

Do you hapen to have a script that checks if start is successful, so if the tuner works if not(no data transponder(timeout reading PAT)) restart properly until it works ? today the box hanged and i`m now almost 45 minutes further pressing menu 5 and 3 so the dm8000 restarts hoping it picks up after a reboot, i`m no programmer but i think this can be scripted.

Hello,

Difficult to do such thing, as the box thinks all is good, but in fact the Drivers load but doesn't want to function in full.

It's important to note that turning OFF power and ON, is much more successful. Doing just a reboot with the Remote Control is like doing mostly no real reset and so, has not much influence to get a good boot.

TS

ok i would guess not getting a proper time from the dvb network could make a check , that could trigger a reboot.

The same result will happen if there is no stream as well... so a channel that changed PID, etc... it's just better to continue the driver patching work than messing around with "nasty" tricks that will not be 100%.

Admin

The DM8000HD is now fully supported and working with the release of the latest drivers Kernel 3.2 by Japhar Team.
