Recording problem After flashing latest vix image

[Jaxter]

Hi all i have a problem when i record after flashing latest vix image, ive gone from perfect recordings to hit and miss. Half of my recorded programs work perfectly the other half i only ever get 7 seconds recorded.
I have a motorised dish but i dont move it at all at the moment its pointed constantly at Sky uk 28.2 i have a dual lnb with wires going into each of the ports at the back of the box.
The Tuner A is configured to Simple , positioner and my long and lats, Tuner B is set to equal to tuner A, i think this is the right set up, if not could somebody set me right or give me a solution to my bodged recordings problem thanks.

have you looked at yr mount points and made sure its mapped to


media/hdd


also another thing to note is in linux 3x its recomended to reformat the drive with new kernal as it will configure the drive to work optimally with new kernal

Hi silverfox thanks for the speedy reply im not sure about mount points youve lost me a little there, i know that the recordings working and non working go to media/hdd, but i havent reformatted the drive as i have recordings on there.
I did notice the hdd acting a little flaky one day what ill do is ftp into box remove recordings and reformat try some recordings and if all is well report back and if all is not take it from there cheers.

looks like you are on /media/hdd

but to check and change in VIX

press blue button

go to vix

go to mount management

and you will see yr mounts there and can set or change em

If your problem relates to new recordings since your update, then I suggest you update the drivers from this link:-

I would still recommend you update your drivers, this is a known problem and the new drivers should fix this issue for you.

I agree with you, spent some time investigating this problem, but these drivers do seem to have fixed this issue.
