    Sounds like you have run out of flash space, either delete some of the stuff off it picons/plugins etc, or flash with latest build and only install stuff you actually use.

    Have you a USB or HDD connected to your Solo?
    If so, Blue button -> ViX -> Swap Manager & create a swap file.
    Reboot & try the plugin again.

    yeah, you need an ext3 or ext4 device for a swap file.
    You can format the stick in the box & it will be ext4, you will lose anything on it though, so back it up first if you need anything on it.

    I don't use one, but AFAIK the issue of creating a swap has been fixed.
    Latest build currently 761.

    'cannot allocate memory' is about flash, not about RAM; so a swap-file won't help you.

    For some reason your flash got filled up to 100%, preventing normal operations by your box. Unless you're a very experienced Linux-user, the best way forward is to flash your box.
    As this might have been an accident, you could try a 'restore' during the first install wizard. It is however possible that the problem is in your setup: in that case you'll run into the same problem and will have to do a flash without restoring your previous setup.

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    I would suggest you perform a settings back up, download the latest image through image manager, then once it's downloaded flash it when done and box has booted up restore only your settings then download all your plugins one by one this should sort your problem out.

    It can all be done via the receiver.

    1. Blue button> ViX> backup manager = create your backup.
    2. Blue button> ViX> Image manager = Download the image and use the restore option to flash it.
    3. Once flashed select yes to restore the backup from within the First install wizard.

    The whole process should take no longer than 7 to 10 minutes.
