OpenViX 4.2 Image Released

[birdman]

Why is it inconvenient? Learn to fresh flash and setup as new then.

It's not just the set-up. There is also the issue of preserving timers, autotimers and power timers.
Trivial for me, but not necessarily simple for others.

Can someone post a "clean" copy of the 4.2 settings file?

I use it to compare with my current settings file, and it'll save me having to re-flash just to get hold of a copy.

Thanks.

A clean copy is an empty file.

for settings ,LCD4 , channel lists and timers I just do an FTP to my PC and back after flash.Working fine.

Why is it inconvenient? Learn to fresh flash and setup as new then. Takes me max 15 mins to set each box up and have it how I want it. Not much to ask is it?.........

Yes of course this is inconvenient.
And well, I did learn that and do it quite often. Even almost blindfolded. But a full setup takes me far over half an hour; and this is even FTPing a number of items over to the 'new' box. When I would need to re-setup all (auto)timers it would take me far over an hour. And even than I do forget some items; the actual time will very much depend on the setup and users experience in this area.

So yes: inconvenient it is, very inconvenient. But there was a good reason for it.

Andy, you need to remember, we flash and test stuff all the time and we sometimes take for granted setting up E2 receivers.

All members please note we did not block restore to be just to be awkward, restore was blocked due to restoring some settings / packages from 4.1 to 4.2 broke certain settings and caused issues.

There's no urgent requirement to upgrade to 4.2, but please keep in kind 4.1 will no longer be updated.

Anyone happy with their current setup, just leave it as it is,There is no need for anyone to update as soon as a newer build comes out unless they are experiencing issues or bugs with older firmware

I am currently in the process of updating and the remote seems to not be working, thus I am stuck on the video input selection screen. Tried re-inserting the batteries, turning off the box etc.

Can anyone help? Its a vu duo 2 BTW

there's absolutely nothing wrong with flashing the latest image and setting up from new. the 4.1 will no longer be updated, therefore its best to update as soon as poss. if you then have issues its simple to go back to older image. normally if there's an issue theres always a update later on, which fixes any issue. although the new 4,2 001 is running fine and working 100%.

thanks Vix team,

If you have a pc then log on to the box using explorer/firefox or whatever you use. You can then use the remote on screen. Type in ip address of the box:http port. Someone will have to let you know what the default port is. (i have changed mine and can't remember what the default was)

Before doing an update with no restores. Is it worth doing a "factory reset" would this clear anything that may have accidentally ftp'd to the wrong place.

[Stanman]

There is no update. It's a Virgin flash and that will wipe everything

Thank you. I used the Ipad app to navigate the setup. Never thought of that

Funny how the remote wouldn't work though. Controlled the tv fine but not the box, never had that before

Thanks again
