BeeSmart LITE Documentation 1. Introduction BeeSmart LITE 3.0 It became already a tradition to launch a new BeeSmart LITE release just before the IPTV World Forum in London. In March 2012, already a third major release, BeeSmart LITE 3.0, has been launched. BeeSmart Lite 3.0 brings several improvements and bug fixes that were suggested by its growing society of supporters as well as new attractive features.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation BeeSmart Lite contains the most desired features needed for a sophisticated TV experience. There are five hundred end-user licenses included in the package together with extensible documentation to help installing, configuring and running the system. There is also a safe migration path defined for users, who would later on like to switch from Lite to full version and gain extended features, more end-user licenses, SW support and regular upgrades.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation Yes, you can upgrade without loosing any data. Please note that BeeSmart LITE comes with 32 bit Centos OS, while recommended OS for the production system is 64 bit RHEL 5.3. Because of this, system should be reinstalled using automatic installation for the BeeSmart production system. Before starting new installation, you dump the BeeSmart LITE DB, then install the new system.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation Recommended technical knowledge and competences for successful BeeSmart LITE installation: good Linux knowledge good IP network knowledge experiences in IPTV field experiences with VoD systems and STB devices experiences with SW products and applications In case of issues, please check the FAQ section and BeeSmart LITE forum or send the question to the BeeSmart LITE forum.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation Please make sure that the BeeSmart LITE installation bundle was downloaded successfully without any errors. Please check the MD5 hash that is provided on the BeeSmart LITE web page. I finished the OS installation and wanted to start the /home/beesmart /.BS-Lite.install script as stated in the installation instructions but this file is missing. What can I do? You can check the BeeSmart LITE installation bundle on you DVD and manually copy BS-Lite.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation BeeSmart LITE supports only the STB types listed in the STB section on the BeeSmart LITE web page. BeeSmart LITE is based on the Ekioh SVG engine, thus STB SW needs to support Ekioh SVG engine. Other browsers like Opera are not supported. I see in the BeeSmart LITE documentation that some descriptions are related to the IPTV services that I can't use or configure with the BeeSmart LITE? BeeSmart LITE is provided with the basic features only.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation documentation for the details. Which EPG providers can I use for ingesting EPG? BeeSmart LITE natively supports Port.hu EPG provider. However, you can use any EPG provider as long as you adapt to the BeeSmart EPG format. Please check the BeeSmart Lite documentation for detailed instructions how to do that. Are there any logs with useful troubleshooting information? Yes. You can check the server.log and beesmart.log.
BeeSmart LITE Documentation BeeSmart LITE server is up. If not, restart it. Jboss server is up. If not, restart it. Apache server is up. If not, restart it. Connectivity between STB and server is up In some cases, restart of the Jboss or restart of the server can also help. Procedures how to do above steps are described in the BeeSmart LITE Troubleshooting Guide. If you will still be facing same issue, please check the FAQ section or BeeSmart LITE forum for similar issues already being answered.
