Mgcamd
Mgcamd is not enabled by default, but included in this release because GBOX currently cannot decode all channels. Keys for Mgcamd are automatically fetched from the internet when you boot your Dreambox. In order to turn off the auto-get feature, type the following at the command prompt: sw_keyupdate You can manually get new keys via the Emu menu, or by typing Keyupdate If you run a manual key-update from the Emu-menu, Enigma will give you the option to convert the updated Mgcamd-keys into Gbox-format as well, but it's recommended to use key-files specially made for Gbox, as they are often much more complete. Your Dreambox automatically makes backups of up to six previous copies of your key file in /var/keys/SoftCam.Key.<number>, where the lowest number is the most recent. Should an update fetch a bad file, you can simply copy back one of the previous versions. The URL where your Dreambox looks for a keyfile can be changed in /var/etc/keyupdate.url.

Enigma

What is Enigma
Enigma is a graphical shell on top of the Linux command prompt. It behaves a bit like Windows on a regular PC and makes calls to the underlying hardware. The original Enigma is build for a DBOX2, another satellite receiver running on the Linux platform. Traveller uses the Enigma source code, but has replaced the libraries that make calls to the DBOX2 hardware by the original libraries from Dream Multimedia. However, there are still some incompatibilities between the two systems, so dont get mad if something goes wrong or doesnt work.
Lots of people are still working on the Enigma project at this time, which means that the software is not stable. Most parts of the Enigma software are in beta or even alpha testing, and features are added and removed day by day. Dont make use of Travellers Image if youre not willing to live with these limitations.
Where can I find the source code of Enigma
The Enigma software is published under the GNU-license, which means that everyone can download the source code and make their own contributions to the project. To do this, Enigma makes use of the CVS (Concurrent Version System). The CVS tree of the project can be found at http://tuxbox.berlios.de
Where can I find documentation on Enigma
Enigma is work-in-progress. This means that several people are working on the project at the same time, and that the project is constantly evolving, which makes it hard to create a good user manual at this stage. A German guy called EssU started working on preliminary docs in German that can be viewed at http://its.no-enigma.de. This is a good place to start if you want to know more about the user interface. A PDF version
can be downloaded at http://www.grundschule-imblumenviertel.de/_enigma/download. A bit further on in this manual, well cover the basic functionalities of Enigma as well.

Exploring your Dreambox

Booting
When you turn on your Dreambox, a screen that mentions the software is loading welcomes you. If this is the first boot after installing a new software version, its a good idea to erase the flash memory. As soon as you see the Loading screen coming up, press the key up button on the front of your Dreambox and keep it pressed until the LCD display says Flash erase. Release the button and wait till the procedure finishes. After a flash erase, a wizard guides you through two screens: the language set-up screen (in which you can pick a language) and the DiSEqC configuration screen ( where you have to specify your configuration: either you use no DiSEqC, a simple configuration or a complex configuration). Both settings can be altered later on in the Settings menu, so you can easily skip these screens by pressing the LAME button.

Lists overview

Enigma often uses lists to browse through for instance a list of television stations, a list of files or a list of favourites. Each time you see a list on the screen, the following buttons on your remote control can be used:

BOUQUET + or -

Zap through the different listings.
< or > on numeric keypad Go to top list / bottom list. 0 2=ABC 3=DEF 4=GHI 5=JKL 6=MNO 7=PQRS 8=TUV 9:=WXYZ UP / DOWN LEFT / RIGHT RED Go up a directory. Jump in list to items beginning with the selected letter.

Extras (5)

Read Flash-image
Saves the flash image to /tmp/flashima ge.img.

Write Flash-image

Writes the flash image from /tmp/flashimage.img. It takes approximately one minute to complete this operation. Dont shut down your Dreambox while flashing takes place.

NFS Setup

This screen enables you to mount up to four NFS shares. Enter the IP address on which you have installed a NFS server, and enter up to four share paths. Click on MOUNT to temporarily mount the NFS share. Click on AUTOMOUNT to mount this share every time you reboot your Dreambox. Your shares are accessible from/mnt/path1 till /mnt/path4. Shows some general data on the memory structure of your Dreambox.

System Info

Information (6)
Clicking on Information brings up the following menu:

Streaminfo

Shows information on the current stream. There are three screens. You can flip through them by using the cursor keys. Page 1 shows provider and transponder information. Page 2 shows encryption parameters. Page 3 shows satellite and frequency information, as well as the signal strength.
Shows version information.

Satfind

Here you can find three values, indicating the quality of the currently selected transport stream: SNR: Signal Noise Ratio: the signal quality AGC: Signal quality, should be as high as possible BER: Bit Error Ratio, should be 0 Lock and Sync: when both boxes are checked, a good signal has been found

Shutdown (7)

If you select this option, the Dreambox shuts down. You can bring the machine to life again, by pressing the red standby key on the remote control.

Setup (8)

This is the heart of your Dreambox, where satellites can be searched and stored, and where network parameters can be defined.

Channels

Transponder scan
Enables you to scan through all known transponders for a satellite and find all available channels. You can select either an automatic scan mode, which uses the transponder list available in the satellites.xml file, or specify your own frequency, polarity and symbol rate in the manual scan mode.

Satellites

The Dreambox makes use of the file satellites.xml to determine which transponders on which satellite have to be scanned. The default satellites.xml file installed in Travellers Image is not complete. If you want a better (but bigger) version, copy the xml file which can be found in the ZIP file to the location /var/tuxbox/config

Here you can define your satellite setup. If youve got only one LNB, select one single satellite. If youve got two LNBs equipped with DiSEcQ, select 2 satellites via DiSEcQ A/B. For four LNBs, select 4 satellites via DiSEcQ OPT A/B. Dishes with a motor are entered as non standard user defined configuration. Remember that if you change from one type of setting to another, you might loose your data. Your Dreambox warns you with a message.
Due to a bug, the Dreambox doesnt always save your DiSEqC settings. You are advised to perform a shutdown (through the menu) of the box after changing the DiSEqC parameters to force a save.
One single satellite This is the easiest setup. In this case, you have one fixed dish with one LNB pointing to one satellite. Just select the correct satellite in the list and press OK.
2 Satellites via DiSEqC A/B This is a typical configuration for a dual setup (mostly used for receiving Astra and Hotbird at the same time). In this case, you have one fixed dish equipped with two LNBs and a DiSEqC switch between them. Just select the name of the satellite corresponding to the the right DiSEqC.
4 Satellites via DiSEqC OPT A/B A combination of one single fixed dish equipped with four LNBs. Switching between them is done through the DiSEqCs OPT A/B protocol. Select the correct satellites corresponding to the right DiSEqC.
Many satellites via DiSEqC Rotor This is the most difficult setup, because many parameters can be changed here. However, their standard values (LNB 0, 22Khz Hi/Lo and Voltage H/V) are correct for most motorized installations (definitely for a STAB rotor). In this screen, you can add all the names of the satellites you wish to receive by pressing the GREEN button.
To configure LNB parameters, position your cursor in the LNB field and click the next page button. On this next screen, you can enter the lowest and highest frequency your LNB supports. The default values are ok for most cases. You can also specify a treshold value and demand an enable increased voltage to your LNB (for long cables).
Click the next page button to continue your setup. You can now modify the DiSEcQ parameters like MiniDiSEcQ (toneburst). Consult your LNB or motor manual to check the values you have to enter here.

Motor Setup

For a lot of motorized dishes (like a STAB motor), just select DiSEcQ mode 1.2 on this screen. All other parameters should not be changed.
This is where you can define how your motor should seek for satellites. Current DiSEcQ specifications do not allow a return channel from the motor to the receiver. To determine if the motor is still turning the dish to a certain position, the Dreambox is equipped with two cheat mechanisms to detect if the motor is still running. If you check use motor input power, you can enter the difference in power usage between your motor turning and not turning. If you dont check this option, you can enter the degrees your motor can turn per second. If your motor is equipped with a GOTOxx function (USALS protocol), you can check this option and enter the longitude and latitude of your location in minutes. Otherwise, youll see a list here with all the positions that are currently stored in the memory of your motor. Tip: you can find the location of your home using the following address: http://www.maporama.com/share/map.asp?
For a STAB motor use an input power of 70mA and activate the GOTOxx function.
If you want to make use of the USALS protocol, no further settings are necessary. Your Dreambox will turn the motor to the correct position when you start scanning all transponders. If your motor does not support the USALS protocol, youll have to search and store a ll satellites one by one. Now press the BLUE button. On this screen, you can select different modes: POSITION: manually seek the location of the selected satellite name by using the left and right cursor keys DRIVE TO STORED POS: drives the motor to the chosen memory position DRIVE TO SATELLITE: drives the motor to the chosen satellite DRIVE TO 0: drives the motor to its 0-point RECALCULATE: re-initialises the pre-stored memory positions in your motor (return to default factory configuration) SET EAST LIMIT: stores the east limit of your motor SET WEST LIMIT: stores the west limit of your motor DISABLE LIMITS: deactivates the software limits set by you ENABLE LIMITS: enables the software limits set by you If youre manually searching for a satellite, first select the satellite name from the box, pick a random transponder and start turning the motor with the cursor keys. Keep an eye on the meters below. When Lock and Sync are checked, a good signal has been found and the satellite can be stored in one of the memory positions of your motor.

This menu item currently does nothing.

Network

Here you can enter network specific settings, like the IP address of the Dreambox, the netmask, nameserver of your internet provider and a gateway. Check configure network to enable these settings.
If youve connected your Dreambox to a Windows XP server and youre sharing your internet connection with Microsofts ICS, the following parameters can be used: IP 192.168.0.9, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.0.1. Alpha, brightness and contrast of the OSD (On Screen Display) can be changed here. If you want to be notified when the EPG is updated, check Show OSD on EIT update.
Brightness, contrast, and standby luminosity of the LCD display can be modified here. You can also invert the pixels on the LCD screen.

Remote control

Allows you to change the characteristics of your remote control. Repeat rate, repeat delay and the remote control style can be changed.
Here you can specify the colour format that has to be used by the Dreambox to send its images to your television: FBAS (CVBS), RGB or SVIDEO. You can also select the aspect ratio of your television set: 16:9 (using pin 8 on the scart plug), 4:3 pan & scan (full screen) or 4:3 letterbox (with black borders on top and bottom of the screen). Enables you to activate or deactivate the AC3 Dolby Digital output on the receiver.
Allows you to load another skin (graphical shell) for Enigma. The default skin in Blueenigma Big. Selecting another skin requires a reboot.

Language

Shows a list of supported interface languages. Select the wanted language and click on OK to activate.
Here you have to enter specific information concerning the Ngrab video/audio streaming server you want the Dreambox to send data to. SRU IP address and SRU port can be specified.
The server must be in the IP range of the Dreambox. For instance, if your Ngrab server is at the address 192.168.0.1, your Dreambox must have an IP address of 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is 2 to 254). The standard port (4000) does not need to be changed in most cases.

Extra settings

Check Not ask anything if you dont want Enigma to let you acknowledge all actions. Check Hide error windows if you dont want to see errors. For the time being Advanced zap mode should be checked, because otherwise zapping through radio station causes several problems.

Harddisk

Setup functions for the internal hard disk.

Common interface

Allows you to reset and initialise the Common interface of your Dreambox.

Upgrade

Shows a list of available software upgrades.

Games / Plugins (9)

This menu item opens the plug-in window. More information on plug-ins can be found at the end of this manual.

VCR (10)

If you select this menu item, the Dreambox shows the input that comes from the VCR scart connection on the back of the machine. To show the Dreambox screen again, press LAME.

Timer (11)

This menu point opens the timer list window. Here you can schedule all recordings that have to be made by your Dreambox. You have to specify a start date/time and end date/time. Recordings can be send to a harddisk or to the Ngrab program (currently in development).

Enigma Plugins

Plugins are additions to Enigma. In Travellers Image, some plugins are installed by default. More plugins can be found in the plugins directory of Travellers ZIP file. To install them, simply copy the.so and.cfg files by using FTP to the location /var/tuxbox/games/ on your Dreambox. In addition, copy the file libfx2.so to the location /var/tuxbox/plugins/.

Tuxtxt

Be careful not to overfill the memory. Bad things can happen if you do. A Dreambox CRAMFS-image may never be bigger than 6291456 bytes.
Tuxtxt is a level 1 and level 1.5 software teletext decoder, written by Thomas Loewe. Most hardware decoders that are build in modern television sets, have limited capacities. They often do not cache all the pages, which makes zapping from one page to another a slow process. Furthermore, a text & tv mode is mostly unavailable. With Tuxtxt these limitations belong to the past. Tuxtxt reads all teletext pages in one big buffer, which makes it very easy to browse through the entire content. You can even consult a teletext service that is on the same transponder, but not on the currently selected station.
Tuxtxt can be activated in the Plugin menu, or by pressing the TEXT button on the remote control while you are in TV mode. Youll notice that the software is currently written in German only. Key Dream Up/Down Left/Right 9 OK Lame Red/Green Green/Yellow MUTE Volume + Volume INFO Function Brings up a configuration menu, in which you can change some parameters. Jump to the next/previous teletext page. Jump to the next/previous subpage. Go to page number 100. To select a certain page number. Swap between current and previous page.

Recording and streaming

At this time, a channel can be recorded onto a hard disk, or streamed (send to) to a server.
Recording on a hard disk in the network
Normally, the internal disk drive in your Dreambox can be found in the /hdd map. If your Dreambox isnt equipped with a hard disk, but you do have a network connection to another machine, you can make use of the hard disk in that machine to record your favourite shows. In order to mount another hard disk in the Dreambox, use the following command: mount t nfs o wsize=4096,rsize=4096,nolock xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/dreambox /hdd where the xxxs are the IP address of the computer which has a NFS share called /dreambox. Instead of entering this command after each reboot, you can add the following instructions right after the first line of the start_enigma script, which can be found in /var/tuxbox.: ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up mount t nfs o wsize=4096,rsize=4096,nolock yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:/dreambox /hdd where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your Dreambox and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of the computer running the NFS share. When needed, unmounting can be done with the command umount /hdd A computer running the Windows software can act as a NFS server too. We recommend using Truegrid Pro NFS server 1.1 for this purpose, which is no longer
supported but can be downloaded for free online.de/home/Andreas.Steinmetz/ misc/links.html.

http://home.t-

Unzip the file to a directory on your harddisk. On the command prompt, type the following lines: mkdir %WINDIR%\ETC copy EXPORTS %WINDIR%\ETC\EXPORTS copy RPC %WINDIR%\ETC\RPC mkdir c:\dreambox mkdir c:\dreambox\hdd Adapt the EXPORTS file in your Windows directory and add the following line: /dreambox -path=c:\dreambox\hdd The lines starting with /c and /d may be deleted. To start the NFS server under Windows NT/2000/XP, type: PORTMAP add NFS add NFS start The NFS server will now run as a service and start automatically every time your pc is rebooted. To stop the NFS server temporarily, type: NFS stop If youre using Windows95, 98 or ME, start the NFS server by typing: PORTMAP NFS You can stop the program by killing the NFS task in Task Manager, followed by typing NFS without arguments on the command prompt.

What is TinyLogin

Just like BusyBox, TinyLogin is a suite of small utilities for your Dreambox. TinyLogin is used to handle logins, user authentication, changing passwords, and maintaining users and groups. It also provides shadow password support to enhance system security. TinyLogin is, as the name implies, very small and therefore suited to fit in the limited memory of the Dreambox. TinyLogin is made by Erik Andersen. See http://freshmeat.net/~andersee for more information.

Tips and tricks

How to TELNET to your Dreambox
If youre a Windows user, you can use the TELNET or HyperTerminal application to get access to the Linux command prompt. Your username is root and the password is dreambox.
How to send files (FTP) to the Dreambox
Windows comes with a standard FTP program, which is very hard to use. An easy to use graphical FTP interface is available in Microsofts Internet Explorer. Just surf to ftp://root:dreambox@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (replace the xxxs by the IP address of your Dreambox). Copy & paste operations are available.
How to edit and upload your own settings
Download the utility called DreamBoxEdit at http://dreambox.happyllama.com.
How to edit files on your Dreambox using a Windows PC
Since Linux uses other characters than a Windows PC, you cannot edit files using for instance Notepad of Wordpad. Youll have to use a Linux compatible editor, like Ultraedit (which can be downloaded from http://www.ultraedit.com) This software also incorporates an FTP interface, which makes editing files on your Dreambox a piece of cake.
Where to find good channel lists
To fill your Dreambox with channel lists, youll have to scan all the transponders on each satellite you can receive. This is a lengthy task, so why not make use of someone elses efforts? Good channel lists can be found at http://www.hackweb.nl. You can use DreamBoxEdit to upload the settings in your Dreambox.
How to change your password
Open a TELNET session to your Dreambox and log on with the standard userid a nd password. At the prompt, type: passwd and enter your news password twice.

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /record/on http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/record/off

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/saveTimerList http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/saveRecordins After issuing certain commands, it might be possible that you have to enter a userid and a password. Use root and dreambox if this is the case. Plugins can be started with http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgibin/startPlugin?path=/bla&name=pluginname.cfg
How to make your own null-modem cable
If your Dreambox is not connected to a network, youll have to upload new images to your machine through a serial null modem cable. Such cables can be found in most computer stores, but if you want to make one of your own, the following connection scheme should help you: PC Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 5 Dreambox Pin 3 Pin 2 Pin 5
How to backup your settings
In order to take a full backup of all your settings (rotor, satellites, network parameters, etc), copy all the files in the /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/ directory.

Appendix

- Always the latest Enigma (at time of release), freshly built from CVS. - Update of my software over Enigma's "Update"-menu is supported to upgrade to future releases. - Added a directory "/var/bin/" to the path, where you can put in your own executables. - Added a directory "/var/lib/" to the library-path, where you can put in your own shared libraries.Note that I put both "/var/bin/" and "/var/lib/" at the beginning of their respective paths, so anything you place there, will usually override anything already on the system, which is handy for testing mods. - Modules are now loaded from "/var/modules/", if they exist there, like in most images on the Dbox2, to make testing with different modules easier. Those who wish even more control over the module loading-process can create their own "/var/etc/init1", which will then get executed instead of the regular "/etc/init.d/init1". - Removed smbd and nmbd, not only because I needed some space, but also because the configuration in which they're shipped is a big security-risk ("/var/" and "/hdd/" shared R/W, without any password), and this behaviour is not even changeable, because the configuration is stored in the read-only "/etc/".What where the people at Dream Multimedia thinking when they put this in?;-).Anyways, if you want the functionality back, copy the smbd and nmbd included in the distribution into "/var/bin/" on your box.Don't forget to chmod 755 them, too.I also symlinked "smb.conf" into "/var/etc/", for your convenience.

Known problems with this release
Traveller has noticed the following problems: The picture will sometimes not clear (or only audio will be heared) when using Mgcamd or Gbox with AU-mode set to "01" (On). To work around this
problem, leave AU-mode in the Gbox-section of Enigma's emu-menu set to "00" (Off). I have been playing with several of the larger disks in my Dreambox (Maxtor 6Y160L0 and a WD) and experienced some very curious disk-corruption. I'm using an ATA100-cable and seperate PSU for the disk, so that shouldn't be the problem.The corruption seems to go away when turning off DMA- transfers in the IDE-driver.At first, it looked like an LBA48-issue, but I shrunk the partition from 160GB to 80GB and still experienced the same problems. Turning off DMA makes things VERY slow and should be used as a last resort.Since then, I replaced my disk with the 120GB-version from Maxtor's same series (which is also on Dream Multimedia's "recommended"-list) and it seems happy.I now execute "/var/etc/premount", if it exists, just before mounting the harddisk, for those of you who want to experiment with their own hdparm-settings.On the package my Dreambox came in, it says "Support for internal HDD in any capacity", so this is probably a bug in the IDE-driver included in Dream Multimedia's kernel and will have to be left for them to fix, for now.
Changelog and version specific notes
20030117: - Initial release. 20030118: * People upgrading to this release from my initial release won't have to follow the flash erase-procedure from the installation notes. - Finally got the descrambler working in the beta104a.5-drivers.Many thanks to mcduff from the Sat4all-board for figuring out how to do this in the release1.02-drivers, after which patching those from beta104a.5 was peanuts.:-) - Included a newer mgcamd, which handles TPS correctly and should do Conax as well.Added a hack to work around the segfaults in this mgcamd and built in support for calling "/var/bin/camd" instead, if it exists and is executable, to be able to add your own. 20030120: * People upgrading to this release from my initial release won't have to follow the flash erase-procedure from the installation notes. However, if you want to add your own modules, you're going to have to c reate the directory "/var/modules/" manually in this case. - This version will record encrypted channels (almost) properly! Only at most the first 2 seconds will still be recorded encrypted, which will probably be fixed soon. Again, many thanks to mcduff, who figured this one out as well. - Minor bug-fixes in my camd-wrapper.In the previous release, no arguments where passed to "/var/bin/camd", which effectively made this whole feature useless.Noticed it just 10 minutes or so after release. Anyways, fixed now."mgcamd"-processes had the tendency to linger around for a while after zapping on some providers.My wrapper now shoots those. Also, the interval in which mgcamd is restarted has been lowered to 2 seconds.Some providers (most notably, Premiere) seemed to need this, as the picture sometimes froze for a short while.
