I dont wish to be rude but would you rather we just say " Thats it, The image is as good as were going to get it, lets call it a day and cease all support from here on in ??".

Personally i have 6 receivers and another two at relatives all running ViX Zeus and only one had a issue with crashing when the movie player was opened, it's just as stable as ViX 3.0 and all earlier ViX images ever were.

Have you got a swap file active on your solo?

[Rob van der Does]

Your post is a bit difficult to read, but as I understand it you should make a support request @ this sub forum.

[satelliteguy68]

your not being rude phoenix but im pulling my hair out.no swapfile in use.im just going to use the vu+ solo for watching tv and use my vu+ solo 2 for other stuff.thanks

Seeing as my crystal ball is broken today perhaps you could enlighten us to the problems you are having

Hi satelliteguy68, after being inactive for a while i came back to the forum and realised Zues had been released. so i installed it on my TM-twin i have to say it is a really good image and been a lot more sable than the later 3.0 builds. what exact problems are you having with it? i would say do as abu baniaz suggests and put a swap file on.

[Larry-G]

If you'r having problems the best course of action is as rob points out, make a support thread ( follow the link he posted ), make one thread per issue so as not to confuse them, post as much detail about the issue as possible along with all crash logs or debug logs you may have.

Otherwise we cant offer help, as we would just be guessing, and that helps no one.

why not keep using the old build until you are satisfied that you want to change...just because a new version is out we don't all have to follow on and change

I am perfectly happy with the old build especially with a swap file runs great

Hi

What you need to remember is with any new image new additions are added as requested by fellow users which puts a strain on the memory of the STB, so depending on what you really need try to taylor your receiver to essentrial plugins you really need or as already advised and create the swap file.
You know the solo2 is a much better receiver than solo1 much the same as computers after time with upgrades etc they start to slow down stb are much the same

Zeus openvix awful is a very strong statement to make and if I was the person/persons ( Andy and friends ) spending my personal time and effort on writing the software for us ALL to use I would be offended..................

Perhaps in your anger it's as a "throw away" statement, but to be honest if your not happy with what he has done with the new image go back to using the old one.

I for one thank anyone involved in writing the image for my VU+ Solo2 as it makes it "up to date"

Just my pennies worth.

i have only had my solo2 4 weeks so i started with vix3-808 and only decided to try ZEUS on build 09 now using ZEUS 22 and every thing is running great and i will keep updating and use ZEUS

today i went round to my friends to help him sort his PC out Damn i thought he is using windows 8 now i am still a windows 7 person and not a fan of windows 8 but i persevered and managed to fix my friends PC and also his Laptop, OK it took me a few hours more than it should have done on windows 7 but i got their in the end
some people Embrace Change and some people want things to stay the same like i chose to stay with windows 7 if someone dose not like ZEUS then stay with 808 simples

Zeus works fine. only issue is that splash screen looks like a black hole, ie,. like a competing image

I Think The Zeus Images Have Been The Most Stable Images For Ages ..........Excellent Stuff My Duo Has Not Crashed Once Since The Zeus Images Have Been Used...........Before My Duo Was Crashing All The Time At Various Times Too ......Well Done I Say To All Involved

Nothing has changed that would cause this, ViX 808 & Zeus 023, just as stable as each other.
Zeus has many updates, so maybe down to plugins you're installing or how you use the box?
Saying that, only Zeus images are being updated to fix any 808 or newly introduced issues as well as add new features.
