Vu Duo, Vix freezing everyday

[abu baniaz]

EPG gathering is memory intensive. It grew some time ago and some receivers cannot cope. The change was with the EPG data, nothing to do with the image.

Create the swap file, as large as possible.
Activate it
set it to auto start.

There will be no harm in doing so, otherwise it would not have been recommended for you!

Should you wish to undo the changes, you would do the opposite.
Disable auto-start,
de-activate it,
delete it.

Hi abu, are you refering to the settings right here like I posted the image of earlier, please let me know, thanks ?

Yes, in the swap manager section. As you pictured.

Thanks abu, as you can see I have done that and to max size it will go to and looks like its going to my hard drive (not usb) which is best, right ?

Can you tell me now a bit more about the pros and cons of this feature compared to the issue and changes I have now made compared to and shown in post one and page one of the thread ?

It's excellent, brilliant and straight to the point if it sorts the problem but hey man, you know, if no one tells you nuffin then you dont ever learn, you did tell me though, so Kudos to you man and thanks (even for trying to help if it doesn't work as no one else was even decent enough to try and help me, so I praise you on that man), we have all been there, I could probably run rings round you with computers but with Satellite boxes etc I have just never had that craze to get right into them for some reason, I am to old now man and not in good health, so things are against me, even the thought of getting a motorised system pro fitted scares me as I might then be left needing to ask everywhere a million questions, I can only imagine you know what I mean.

Are you quite confident this should sort it now ?

Thanks for your help and I look forward to your reply or anyones reply for that matter, cheers.

The HDD is good. The swap file will help immensely.
**CrossEPG has evolved over the years and uses quite a bit of memory in the process. The Vu+ Duo is an old ageing receiver that lacks the resources to cope and enabling a swap file will help things. **

So, do you guys think it will stop that problem from occuring again as orginally reported in post one of the thread ?

If there is a problem, you can post in the thread. Don't forget to get debug logs.

Thread retitled from "Does anyone know what this and how to stop it, photo attached ? 12th March 2017"

Thanks for changing the name of the thread but when I look back on the thread title now I wouldnt even recognise it to be honest, wouldn't it be better if it was called something like "Vix freezing everyday, photos enclosed, help required please" (dont need the vu duo part as it's already in the vu duo section), that way not only I know more or less exactly what it is but it's easier for others to locate too if required, you know what I mean ?

With the greatest respect, with it called what you have it now "Vu Duo showing spinners regularly", to me that isn't a very good discription, I was actually looking for the thread without being logged in and couldnt find it because of the new thread title, so I had to log in and then look through my list to locate it, unless maybe someone else can think of a better thread title, I don't know ?

p.s, and yes, that little setting you guys told me to change seems to have defo worked, for now at least, it's never froze since Thank you all that mentioned it and helped me

Glad the swap file has helped.
