OpenViX 6.4 Released! Support/discussion thread

I copied my backup from Synology to a usb and restored from that without issue

Thanks GoRt!. What a good idea! Why didn't I think of that? I found an old external usb drive, plugged it into the nas, copied the last couple of backups via the nas and then plugged the drive into my stb. It found the backups and I loaded one. I answered all the questions about plugins, etc. Great relief when my favourite channel appeared after a restart!

But when I pressed EPG or menu, etc, the picture shrinks normally to the top left of the screen but the EPG/menu area are completely blank! Luckily I can still just about use the menu via the built-in mini-screen on the VU+ stb... Not sure how to proceed. Could reload the backup now that it's visible again? Or is it a plugin/python problem?

I'm still stuck with no display of menus, epgs, radio background. Searched webif for relevant settings with no luck. 6.4 001 is current ver. I even restored from a slightly earlier Backup file. Same result.

No new Backups available although webif confirms epgs are all in the box. It seems that the picture in picture mode works, but the menus etc are not being mapped to the rest of the screen. Could skins be missing? or some other layout control?

It was fine before the upgrade! Anyone have any suggestions?

Something in your settings backup causing an issue.
So if you know your tuner setup , flash the box without restoring settings and setup tuners.
Then if you need anything from the settings backup, extract to a PC and copy across.

I would select multiboot in the setup, so that in future you can always retain working image and flash new image to another slot (multiboot allows multiple image slots).

For logistical reasons and for reasons related to the fact that I can't do an upgrade of some of my scripts created in python2, I wanted to know if it is possible to install python2 on this version, leaving version3 but also installing 2 so that I launch my scripts for example with the command python2 etc etc... I can't find an ipk that can install it, could you kindly tell me where I could find it?

Hi,
I'm still running an original Vu Duo.
It's listed as compatible for this image but I can only find the downloads for the Vu Duo2?
Cheers,

Not isn't. You can use ATV 7.3. They have a workaround to use flash expander for receivers with small amount of flash memory.

Must have looked at the wrong list!
Whats ATV 7.3 please?
It's been a long time!

Openatv 7.3 is their latest python 3 image …. Abu is correct it contains flash expander. Have to say it extended my boot time on my xtrend et7500 and didn,t seem to provide any benefit.
If you go for this just perhaps try a swap.

Hi Guys, I updated one of my three vu boxes to 6.4.002 a few weeks ago and everything has been fine. Yesterday I upgraded my two remaining boxes to 6.4.003 and nearly everything is good, apart from my iptv epg, on the 1st box I updated I get a full 7 day epg on the iptv bouquets, however, on the two I did yesterday I only have the iptv epg populated for the coming 24hrs, I've been through all the settings and all three boxes are set up identically using the same iptv feeds through jedimaker. Anyone have any thoughts as I'm running out of ideas.........?

How are you updating the epg?

[spevs]

Epg-importer on daily timer, one hour after jedimaker has updated the bouquets, and also manually whilst in epg-importer, yellow button. What is confusing is one box has the full 7 days populated but these two other boxes only 24hrs on iptv but the full 7 days populated on satellite bouquets.

the iptv epg comes from the provider … but you need to trun on debug log and then check it to see if the import has completed OK.
If it has the issue is with the provider for some reason…. Otherwise post debug log blanking any user information before posting

How do I turn on debug, however, it can't be a problem with the provider otherwise I wouldn't have the full 7 day epg on the 1st box I updated, which is all fine.

‚ it can't be a problem with the provider ‘ - never assume that!
so menu,setup,system,logs,settings…enable, save not to flash, debug log time ..local time (!) set debug log level to debug logs, show in extensions list
