Hello all,
I've had an issue over the last year or so that has finally annoyed me enough to ask for support, it's plagued me over the last couple of years between from OpenVix 3.x to the newest release.
I have 2 VU Duo 2 boxes, both with a pretty standard setup, Picons and mgcamd138 are the only extra plugins I have installed on the base image. After a clean install things work great. After about maybe 1-2 weeks of use the image starts to deteriorate. I get random lockups; sometimes in standby, sometimes watching TV with the spinning VIX logo in the corner, the only way out of this is a manual reboot of the box. If I flick the power off and on I'll then lose my EPG data and need to re-download it all.
Autotimers/recordings then start to fail. Sometimes I'll get a blank recording of a 600+ minute black screen, other times I'll get a small portion of the recording complete but a large section is cut off. Sometimes my autotimers don't even add timers even though all the information is correct.
It's the final straw now, I know there are other images out there but I love OpenVix, when it works for me it's perfect.
This is a general run through of my config:
CrossEPG downloaded to internal HDD daily at 4am
AutoBouquet downloads daily at 4:15am
Timeshift recorded to HDD after 2 seconds and not saved on channel change
NAS mounted on boot, all recordings redirected to NAS folder. Both NAS's record to and playback from the same share.
256MB Swap file installed to HDD
What seems strange is the fact that it's happening on 2 separate boxes. I can't blame the hardware it has to be something behind the scenes. It can't be something to do with the NAS as the lockups happen no matter if there is a recording/playback happening or not.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
