Volume turning itself down

[aido]

You'd have thought so but so far the problem only manifests on OpenViX 5.0.14 or 5.0.16 - I've reverted to 5.0.13 and it's early days yet (the box has only been up an hour) and it hasn't shown the problem.

It ran for hours on OpenATV and OpenHDF without the issue too yesterday which suggests it could be something that's crept in since 5.013 was released?

Are there any other images which are very similar to ViX I could try please just to try and lock it down a bit?

Strange all right. Best to leave it on 5.0.13 for an extended period to ensure the problem is definitely image related.

I always get the weird women and the weird problems (though don't tell the wife that )

...maybe she's messin' with your receiver

Pity you can't swap your wife as easily as you can swap an image.

You've got me thinking I need a new bird now for a day or two

The box has been up for 3.5 hours on OpenViX 5.0.013 now with no sign of the issue yet - I'll give it 24 hours to see what happens!

All ok for 7 hours now and counting on 5.0.013

[aido]

Up for 22 hours with no issues on 5.0.13 so definitely looks like it's something in 5.014 that causes it

Here's almost 24 hours of debug log from 5.0.13 which doesn't have the issue:

Enigma2_debug_2017-05-30_10-14-54.log.zip

OK now I'm massively confused - I just upgraded the bootloader to 4.0 which gives onscreen information about the flashing process and after the box booted back up to ViX 5.0.013 the volume has started turning down almost instantly! WTF.

I am starting to think it is something to do with the hardware going tits up.

Just about to try Egami 8.0.2 as a matter of interest to see if that does it.

[aido]

OK same problem in Egami 8.0.2!

Back to OpenATV to see if that is doing it as well now.

I can only think it's a physical problem with the front panel that's slowly getting worse - bizarre it was fine for 24 hours until the box was rebooted, although on the flip side I did press the up button to flash the bootloader so could be it's sticking.

The front panel has been totally cleaned btw.

I can't seem to enable debug logs on Egami but it is definitely doing the same thing.

Front panel is covered and the network link is down and it still does it.

[Joe_90]

From what I recall of using egami, there didn't seem to be a debug log option. I think you're chasing shadows with a software cause and you should concentrate on hardware. When you say the front panel was totally cleaned - how? Normally the front panels of these boxes don't get used much, apart from the occasional re-flash where you need to hold in a button, so the buttons don't really get a hammering. Was something spilled on the box?

[aido]

No mate it's in a hifi rack and nothing has touched it - when I say cleaned just with a dry microfibre cloth in case there was any dust on it

Love this thread. It's like a proper whodunnit. Can't wait to find out what the culprit is.
