    Octagon SF8008 new Images and dcc dream up programs

    Hi, ive been using the older version of openvix for years, i tried to update today to the newer images on this site, from the older version 5.

    the image upgrade went fine, but after, i couldnt use dcc or dreamup, is this normal, or did i do something wrong, or get a bad flash, if i clicked on check the ip address on dreamup it showed the connection, but sending my own channels lists, it wouldnt send it, no matter how many times i tried, i couldnt even enter files in dcc.


    If the new version of open vix dont work, what is a good program to use for sending channel lists and ftp files now, gone back to the older images, and all worked again, using dcc and dream up.

    thanks

    Did you add a password to the image? If not, that is the issue.

    Those programs still work.

    hi, i couldnt send a channel list, or send files using dcc, so yes i dont think ftp starts.

    I clicked on test ip connection, that worked fine, but then trying to send the files, no luck.

    I added a password on the menu of the octagon 8008, but im not sure i rebooted afterwards, would that have made a difference?

    menu/setup/network/utilities/ftp will tell you if ftp is running.

    If reboot does not work, please also try setting the password by command line.

    Did you use the recovery file to flash ?

    If so, reflash with the image update only into the same slot and it should fix your issues.

    hi Ev0

    please, explain what you mean, i flashed the octagon using a usb stick, i tried the last 2 images, no luck.

    I replaced all the files on the stick, with the files in the zip in the image

    thanks

    1. I think evo was talking of flashing online(much simpler than usb) —-> blue button, select ViX plugin, select ImageManager, yellow button(download) , then blue button(flash)
    On reboot you will asked if you want to restore settings from a backup
    2. dcc e2 - having had to find a working version of these packages for another user, I would say from this experience its possibly an issue with this tool
    install putty——-> connect using root and if you have a password, enter it.
    Then type passwd and enter. You will be asked twice for confirmation

    The attachment shows that ftp has stopped on your box, so dcc/ftp will never connect.

    FTP comes up and running as standard in ViX, I've no idea how it gets into the stopped state unless you stop it yourself.

    I assume it doesn't start with the green button?

    The thread you mentioned earlier was the same, but has stopped dead in its tracks with no reported solution from the OP.

    hi yes the green button wont start it up, i tried pressing it lots of times, no luck.

    I couldnt change the password either, maybe it is related to a bug somehow.

    Back on the older images for me, at the moment, i cant send files to the stb for oscam, or send my channel lists.

    I hope the bug is found, and fixed, thanks to all,who replied.

    There are 2 files:

    openvix-6.0.007.release-sf8008_recovery_emmc.zip and openvix-6.0.007.release-sf8008_mmc.zip



    Did you use the openvix-6.0.007.release-sf8008_recovery_emmc.zip to flash the box (this is the one where you extract the zip file to the root of the usb), so it sounds like you did use this file ?

    If so, you now need to use openvix-6.0.007.release-sf8008_mmc.zip to flash the same slot again (no need to extract the zip file), as there is a bug with the recovery files for these boxes.
