MV: Download / Installation

Other pages: Front Page, User Guide, FAQ

Requirements

Image

You will find on sourceforge binaries builds for some images.

However, many dreambox images have MV in their download menu. This is the best method to use.

Memory

If you install MV, you must configure a swap file.

The application itself (standard version) is currently around 500K. I have no idea of the extra memory used while running, it's dependent how many channels are in your bouquet.

If you have problems, here are some tips:

change the 'Pre' and 'Post' parameters for your inputs. Smaller values will result in lower memory usage. See the User Guide for more information.
Make sure the two directories in the Input Config are on your HDD or USB, whichever you have.
using the MV Lite version once you have configured everything will save you more than 220K.

Download

Please pick a tarball based on your image on sourceforge. If your image is not listed here it will probably NOT WORK!

If your image uses it's own download system (e.g. hydra, ruDream) I advise you to wait for it to be updated rather than installing yourself.

Installation

1) extract epg_inst.sh and inst_mv.tgz from zip file in binary mode.
2) transfer epg_inst.sh and inst_mv.tgz on your dreambox with ftp.
    ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx         <-- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is IP adress for your dreambox
    cd /tmp
    binary
    put epg_inst.sh
    put inst_mv.tgz
    bye
3) connect with telnet :
    telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    cd /tmp
    sh ./epg_inst.sh
    rm epg_inst.sh inst_mv.tgz
    exit
4) configure MV :
    run MV (blue button --> MV)
    menu --> Configuration
       choose data sources.
    menu --> Download EPG data

    menu --> Alias Manager

5) make MV your default EPG :
    double-click red button, and choose "External EPG".
