Dreambox 500s bad EPG :\

[edin4o]

So, I've put a new image on my dreambox - Nabilosat DarkStar II, and the EPG isn't correct.
I've tried to set my Time Zone but no use....
I'm talking about the same channels on which I had CORRECT EPG (before this new image) and the CORRECT TIME, and when I unplug it from power - it didn't loose the time...

Now, when I set-up the time and timezone, there is no progress bar (about the current event) (you know, when it's saying +35, +1 min etc), but when I enter the transponder time (which is also incorrect, it's two hours back) the Progress bar appears...
So I'm confused why does it say that the TRANSPONDER TIME isn't correct with mine (I'm talking about channels on the same timezone) (taken from a real clock)...Is it because of the image?
Or because of the dreambox clone?


EDIT:

Here is the fix, read this post

Put it in /var/etc

I also faced issues with transponder time (was not working properly, or getting messy), i solved this by ussing a time server over the ntp protocol based in germany.

I have exactly the same problem using openpli image, 2 hours more with transponder time and no epg when i set up manually the time. I found that we need a correct "localtime" file in var/etc. No i'm waiting to find one for France time.

There are default ntp servers in some images, I remember that I had default values in nabilosat.

I really want to thank Whinpo, it solves the problem for me So it's really that "localtime" file which is in cause (var/etc).
MERCI

Is France the same time zone with Macedonia?
As far as I can see from the computer - they're the same...

Also - I DON'T have that localtime file in var/etc... :\
Or I should put this localtime even though I haven't got it in var/etc ?

And how can I setup the timeserver over ntp protocol?

Re: Dreambox 500s bad EPG :\

we're as Macedonia at UTC+1
the file should work, just put it in /var/etc

for ntp, i'm not sure you need it, I think the dbox gets time from transveivers..
but there should be a ntp client plugin somewhere...
to configure it : just modify the ntp.conf to have a line :
server ntp.pool.org
and restart the service

Re: Dreambox 500s bad EPG :\

this file is very easy to get whenever you can get a hand on a linux machine.
the original files are located in : /usr/share/zoneinfo
you just have to copy the file you need to a file called locatime that you'll then send to the dbox.

for example the localtime I gave here it from Debian, where the file is named :
/usr/share/info/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

for the other who could be interested, I've compressed the zoneinfo directory and uploaded there :
-http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BSQ2ADWG

So, all localtime files for eveybody can be generated from it just copying the file corresponding to your localtime zone

enjoy
