Enigma2 Control Manager
iet5 wrote
Enigma2 Control Manager has been developed from the ground up as a comprehensive and professional solution for managing and programming Linux / Enigma2-based satellite receivers such as Dreambox, Vu+, Gigablue, Octagon, and others.
The project was created to address the common shortcomings of traditional management tools, including slow file transfers, interface freezes, and unstable connections, while providing a unified workspace that brings together all essential tools required by both end users and developers in a single application.
Instead of switching between multiple programs for file management, command execution, and channel editing, Enigma2 Control Manager integrates three fully synchronized modules: FTP Manager, Channels Manager, and Telnet Terminal, delivering a faster, simpler, and more efficient receiver management experience.
Technical Architecture & Performance
An advanced file management module designed for fast and efficient file transfers between the PC and the receiver.
Key Features
A dedicated module for managing channels and bouquets without the need for third-party applications.
Main Features
Import and export channel files.
Select Files to Receive
Allows the user to choose exactly which files should be downloaded:
Automatically reloads channel settings on the receiver immediately after uploading, without requiring a restart.
Remove Unused Bouquets
Deletes obsolete or unused bouquet files from the receiver to keep the system organized.
Upload Picons
Automatically uploads channel Picons together with channel files.
Safe User Interface
Module 3: Telnet Terminal
A high-performance integrated terminal that eliminates the need for external Telnet applications.
Professional Command History System
Secure Communication
