Thanks a lot, can't wait to try it.
Thanks a lot to the ViX team for a new great image.
By the way I cant find where to select the slim channel selection. I can see its present in the Vix Night HD skin.
Further I cant find where to select second infobar on first OK press.
Definitely trying this out, not yet thou as the wench is watching embarrassing bodies :eek:
Does this fix the memory leak issue?
Pic of the new OSD, not a fan of the font or the light grey overlay on the current program! No picon as I hadn't uploaded them yet.

Does this fix the memory leak issue?
no thats something Vu need to sort out, although why not just back up your current image and give this one a try to see if it increases stability as very FEW boxes are even affected by the memory leak.

Its not a new OSD/Skin, just new infobar layout. Just a variation of ViX Night HD.
You could always create what you like and we'll add it to the feeds for others :) After all we cant please everyone :)

I know, I'm not having a go just pointing out my (very early!) first impressions. Everything else about the menus is much better, having mini 'help' info at the bottom is a great job. How would I go about editing the skin to see what I can come up with?
Found the skin editors... so how would I tweak the ViX Night HD skin a little?
oohh auto resize picons:eek:
How do you change the event info time from 5 seconds? It used to be in the customise menu?
Thanks in advance

XRD,
Since the last version of Image Skins havent been editable in the skin editiors...You'd have to use Notepad +++ or similar.
Not sure if the new versions are the same but I'd assume so.

download it from the plugins, ViX feeds.

Yes, hold down blue button > Green to download plugins > ViX ;)
all good, xbmc skin not to my liking so returned to vix night hd skin. all works to perfection. thanks guys
i love the new vixbox night skin and works well with the transparent picon looks fresh, thanks keep up the good work
In my first foray into skinning, I appear to have already broken the Vix_Night_HD skin... is there a way to restore the skin/redownload?
oh dear me, you did remember to make a backup first ?
you can download the ViX Day HD skin directly from the plugin feeds if thats any help.
I have plenty of backups just wondered if there was a quick way of doing it. I've got the Day HD skin ta. Oh well...
I did this before but it doesn't seem to want to work for me now.
I should flash the bootloader right? - Put nothing but the bootloader file at vuplus folder level on the usb key, insert it and turn on the machine. It says reading usb then goes straight into startup mode and the box starts up.
I've tried going straight to the image on the usb key at the vuplus folder level but it doesn's read it. Starts up the box and I can see my channels.
Am I doing something wrong?
make sure your usb stick is formatted as FAT32, have you got another stick you can try

I'll try reformatting it. Same as I used before.
Mr. Mister
15-05-12, 22:06
Do you have another usb stick in your box.. ?
If so.. then remove that also..
No just one. Just tried it again. Completely ignoring the USB stick now and just going straight into startup. I'll have to try and get hold of another USB stick.
I am new to the Duo but I see they mention "Blindscan"
does this mean that the duo is going to support it?

no and if thats in the release notes for the Duo then i apologise, the duo and solo dont have the required hardware support for blindscan.
just to be sure about what you mean by vuplus folder level,
On the stick you have a folder called vuplus
vuplus has a subfolder called duo
duo contains the files kernel_cfe_auto.bin, root_cfe_auto.jffs2 and reboot.update
Also try leaving the power off for a good 3 mins before inserting the usb in the front slot and switching back on
Got it sorted finally with another USB key (exact same type and make as another one that wouldn't work).
Looks good guys. Thanks.

damn
I was getting excited

no. you can manually backup your config files and timers / auto timers files but dont try to restore a settings backup as it will cause you problems.
Damn it, flashed the new image, restored settings, and it hangs like a bitch. Spinning VIX in corner every minute or so. Worse even than the hanging I get with 204??
Have I got a duff box or something?
:D:D:D sorry mate couldnt resist
yeah well maybe if the bloke who made the release threads had done his job properly in the first place a certain admin would not need to go cleaning up his mistakes LMAO.

DO NOT RESTORE SETTINGS.
it says this clearly in the first post.
This is a new image and must be setup from scratch.

No you cannot restore settings from 204 you must clean flash and manually setup
Have to say a massive thanks to all who put effort into this image, looks really good a big step up in the user interface compared to any other image I've tried before. The xbmc skin is nice too, especially the guide part. Great work :thumbsup:

How do i auto resize picons?
Does this fix the memory leak issue?
no thats something Vu need to sort out
Just to add to what Pheonix said, the reason that Vu have to sort this out is because it is closed source compiled code. Once code is compiled, if there is no uncompiled version released with it, it is not possible to read, fault find or amend that code.
And you can feck off n'all.
Thats not very nice :(

The picon sizes change when you press ok so is their a way to autoresize them?
A few remarks regarding Vix Night HD skin:
SlimChannelSelection:
The title seems doubled with a bit offset. I guess you dont need to code the Title-widget when using the panel name="MenuPanel" which include title in itselfe.
IMDB:
The starsbar is displaying wrong numbers of stars. I guess you have to change size of <widget name="starsbg" and <widget name="stars" from "240,21" to "210,21".
No you cannot restore settings from 204 you must clean flash and manually setup
Thanks will try again

Hi Guys,
Really pleased with the new image, thanks for all of your hard work. I know this is probably really straightforward but on 2.3 when I played recordings the programme name was displayed on my duo, now on 2.4 the display shows the remaining time of the recording. Can I change this?
Cheers
Well after using all previous VIX images and lots of problems with ONLY the 2.3 version i went onto BH.
The "better the devil you know" springs to mind here and installed this new VIX 2.4 and alot of improvements.
I can say i am very happy indeed with it.
The highlighted channel in the infobar is a nice touch along with the picon in channel lists at the top when looking in fav's.
How can i get ecm to show in this version?
Looks like the creator as put alot of harder work into this one and should be appreciated for as such.
Nice work and best wishes :thumbsup:
What and where is the latest bootloader?
Is it the file duo_cfe_3_0_usb.zip and how do i install?
Unzip it and stick it on an empty USB drive (FAT32 formatted) and whack it in the front USB port and switch the Duo on from the switch on the back. Takes about 2 mins
Ok thanks, only bought Duo about 2 weeks ago from this site and had bootloader/vix 2.3 image pre installed.
How do i check what my current bootloader version is?
Is their tutorial for putting new image on Duo?
It is just a stickie in this section
http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?3-How-to-flash-a-VU-Duo-using-a-USB-stick
But first do the latest bootloader and after that done you flash the image

Guys, how can I have ECM info with signal levels displayed by default without having to press the OK button twice? Basically, the same as it was with 2.3?
Depends on the skin and everbody has another wish/taste
In Magic-hd night u still have ecm info in first infobar..perhaps you like that one.
captain jack
16-05-12, 12:16
Sorry - I meant in the default VIX night HD skin.
Yes i do understand, but again it depends on the skin.
In vix night hd you get ecm inof only in 2nd Infobar.

The rest of the image is brilliant - seems snappier than 2.3.

Yes you van edit the skin, but after update it wil be gone.
What program can you use to edit skin and where do i get it?
Yes you van edit the skin, but after update it wil be gone.
You need an editor like notepad++ or pspad to edit xml file.
There is an skin programm Eskinner, but you cannot use it cause in skin.xml templates are used and eskinner does not support this.
captain jack
16-05-12, 13:46
I am using notepad++. Will turn the updates off, so it doesn't affect the skin.

I think you better try to make your changes into skin_user.xml and place that in etc/enigma2.
Perhaps that will work better and also you can update
I think you need this code and fill in the screen you want to change
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<skin>
<screen
</screen>
</skin>
Missing updates is not a really a good option.
captain jack
16-05-12, 13:52
Interesting. What's skin_user.xml? Do I simply put the entire edited skin.xml in that or just the changes?
Thats the file you need to edit, its in in etc/engima2 and you need to copy it to your desktop edit and put ba k in same locagion - at your own risk.
You only put in the change for a specific screen..
i am not sure if it will work with Vix night-hd but you have tor try it
Just added the new image..so thanks for the hard work guys!
Looks a treat and hopefully will be without issues.
Thanks as always

your not supposed to restore the settings with this new image
edogg
find it very sticky/slow any ideas?
No you cannot restore settings from 204 you must clean flash and manually setup
Hm, I DID restore settings - and it looks ok, except the permanent timeshift bug is still there (I get empty recordings when I try to save timeshift). While with VTI (latest build) that I tried the last few days, the permanent timeshift worked OK.
You saying that better reflash from scratch? I'll do that and come back again to post results.
Apologies if already discussed but can I copy the XML files that have my timers in to a new flash so I don't have to re-create them or will I have to set them up again ?

Loving it so far. Just been playing around with Sandman's VFD picons, resizing them to get them to display on the EPG menu, does anyone know how I can set the background colour to black? I'm sure I saw it last night, but maybe I was dreaming...

Also any way to stop the 'blending' as such on the info bar?

find it very sticky/slow any ideas? where are your picons stored if they are stored on your hard disk your hard disk willl spin up everytime you use the EPG. ensure that the PICONS are stored on an external usb key

A single question - flasing the latest bootloader would this mean installing fresh from usb then doing a complete satelite rescan?
No, you can just update the booloader without changing anything else, the only exception is the ET series when they changed the file name.

Many thanks to all who put in all the hours/days/weeks in putting this great image together. Well done to you all.
One question. The new feature on infobar: HbbTV, I notice when I tune to european tv channels that have this feature the HbbTV is highlighed in green informing me that HbbTV is available on the tuned channel. How do i access the HbbTV. Is a plugin required?

I'm not sure but i think the Vu browser is required to access those streams and it's a massive plugin which at the moment cant be fully integrated into other boxes but the Ultimo ( or if it can it's a bloody big pain in the rear to do ). at least thats how i understand it.
Just wanted to find out how do i maually backup my config files and timers/auto timers files?do i save them to my pc or on my box.If i flash the new image do i lose all the settings etc.

The VU's do not yet support HbbTV. This function will probably soon be added.
Been waiting for this new image for ages but have to say it was well worth the wait!
All the problems I had with 2.3 seem to have gone and it looks and feels much slicker and stable, been really testing it tonight and never had a single problem..LOVE IT!!!!
Many thanks for all your hard work :thumbsup:

if your using CCcam FTP to the /etc folder and copy the CCcam.cfg file to your PC. then FTP into the etc/enigma2/ folder and look for files with timers and autotimers in the names, copy those to the PC also. then when you have loaded the new image just copy them back to the same folders.

Hi guys
First of all andy and the team a big big WELL DONE for yet another excellent upgrade all went smooth on both my duo and solo receivers.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed an overall improvement in picture quality with this upgrade looking at C+ and sky pictures look bright and sharp on my new samsung 3d set and my phillips led
Looked at the new skin which looks good but i wasnt a fan of the mini menu boxes having top scroll down so reloaded vix night.
Again great work look forward to the next release ....... but u can have a holiday first andy lmao
Looking forward to installing this on my duo hopefully this weekend.
Just one question though...has the issue with the ram filling up and causing the box to run slowly/crash been resolved?
I saw a thread on here somewhere that had info on how to solve the problem but I can't seem to find it. Would be grateful if someone could link me.
Thank you for the new image. A couple of observations so far:
1. Transmission client is not available from the plugin list.
2. When you press the remote control button to view the contents of recorded programmes and then press the exit button, the broadcast programme temporarily stops, screen goes black and then transmission is resumed. I don't seem to recall this happening on earlier versions.
Thanks,

Looking forward to installing this on my duo hopefully this weekend.
Just one question though...has the issue with the ram filling up and causing the box to run slowly/crash been resolved?
I saw a thread on here somewhere that had info on how to solve the problem but I can't seem to find it. Would be grateful if someone could link me.
I have upgraded my VU+ and till now, the unit seems to be spot on, but having said this, its to early to say, as the real problem, is with VU+ not with the image, my advice is to upgrade, but the "problem" is actually only with a few units, pro rata to those that have been sold,
you wont be any worse off, and a lot to gain
Great stuff Andy! i unfortunately restored my backup before reading through the threads, it doesn't seem to be causing any problems at the moment so I might leave well alone for a while. I do miss the option for the permanent second info bar though, but I'll learn to live with it. Thanks again for everbody's hard work, it was worty the wait !
New image is looking good, quick question on the EPG though. In mutli EPG mode, when I scroll through the channels using the up down arrows, the cursor seems to jump around and doesn't always go to the program currently showing but instead jumps to the program that is going to be shown next. Is there anyway to stop this as the Mrs is moaning?
Thanks

Many thanks for the new image and hard work put in. Cheers guys! Here's hoping to an end to all the crashing experienced in 2.3. Just a few questions on the skin and a suggestion. I really like the default Vix night skin, however is there a way to change the colour scheme? Would like to change the orange text to a nice blue :D Also with regards to the sizing, the skin is stretched out of the border on my samsung tv, unless I change the picture size to just scan, however the tv always defaults back to 16:9 when turned off. The skin resizing in the Vix menu isn't up to the job :confused: Just a quick suggestion, it would be nice to be able to preview the skins before installing them. A full screen preview is possible on blackhole, really useful feature ;)
with regards to the sizing, the skin is stretched out of the border on my samsung tvYou need to switch off overscan. Using that is also hurting your picture quality.

Thankyou for the reply, where do I switch off overscan, in the tv menu or vix menu?
I just flashed to 2.4 and must say...
Excellent work! :-) I'm loving it apart from my usual bugbear since 2.3.161...
I'm still having the issue where the 3d OSD options actually do nothing on the newer builds(161+)
The 3D OSD works on the 153 build flawlessly even autotriggers my TVs 3d mode when activated.
But on the latest VIX builds I've tried 161, 191 and 204 and now on the latest 2.4 it does diddly squat :(
As I use the 3d OSD quite a bit(mapped to a Macro) this
Its not much of an issue but I've flagged it a few times on previous release threads and so little has come of it I think I must be the only one using the 3D OSD! haha.
Its a small issue, but its enough to keep me on 153 .
I added a couple of my previous posts re: this issue and my macro setup.
Hiya folks,
Recently updated to 2.3 build 161 and since the upgrade the VIX 3D OSD no longer works for me
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Previously BlueButton>3D OSD>Side by Side>Green would kick the Vu into 3d output mode and my TV would autodetect the 3D mode.
In fact this worked so well i added it as a macro to my remote And stopped needing to access the TV function/Shifted softkeys to switch to 3D
But now, the 3D OSD has absolutely no effect whatsoever
No matter what I try the Vu Display just stays in 2D mode,
Now 3D is still usable via my 3D button on the TV but as the Vu 3D OSD isnt working my OSD turns to doubled/mirrored transparent garbage.
Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Ok Folks, Just an update, I've reflashed to 153 and the VIX 3D OSD works flawlessly
But just to satisfy my own curiousity I then upgraded to 161 again and the VIX 3D OSD once again failed to work.
As the issue only happens with 161 for me and is repeated after a reflash, I can only assume there is a glitch somewhere?
I'm hoping someone can confirm this for me, Anyone else having this prob? Or repeat it?
On the 161 build any setting in 3D OSD has no effect whatsoever(i.e no 3d OSD, Doubled infobar when in 3d mode), yet in 153 build works perfectly well and indeed auto triggers 3D on my TV.

create a new thread of it's own with your problem as posting problems in the release threads can very quickly become lost in amongst all the other posts that are made.

appreciate phoenix, its kinda hard since there are no crashlogs. watched the local news tonite (rte1) and it was cracking up badly. so figured maybe it was just the program in question. then later switched to another channel and same problem. this is not to say that the problem is constant, it is very intermittent. Having said that I have setup everything exactly as before (oscam and everything else) and have done exact same procedure thru all versions of vix. this is the first case of this problem. be aware i am using the exact same oscam binary as in the past

I don't know what issue exactly you are talking about, but in this version it is impossible for recordings to go to flash.
Thank you for the reply, where do I switch off overscan, in the tv menu or vix menu?
Overscan is a TV-setting. Sometimes well hidden, sometimes having all kinds of fancy names.

But still my crystal ball tells me that this can't be due to an image-flaw :nono:
with regards to the sizing, the skin is stretched out of the border on my samsung tv, unless I change the picture size to just scan, however the tv always defaults back to 16:9 when turned off.
On a Samsung Tv assuming its a newer model Go into picture settings>screen adjustment and set picture size to Screen Fit, this will disable overscan.
On the Vu goto menu>setup>system>a/v settings and set Display 4:3 Content as - Just Scale and Display 16:9 content as - Letterbox.
Fintannl
Is it encryption break up or is it flicker on the TV.
Is it there in FTA channels.
Maybe a photo would help if its hard to describe.

Which version of Magic HD is this as it looks different to mine Thanks
Thats not Magic HD thats Vix
Thats the ViX Night HD skin which is the default installed skin in the ViX 2.3 / 2.4 images.

Ok thanks just looks similar to magic hd before this update
I would like to be able to just delete recordings I have watched rather that put them in a recycle bin and have to delete them from the bin is this possible it was in all other vix versions I have used
edogg
Hm, I DID restore settings - and it looks ok, except the permanent timeshift bug is still there (I get empty recordings when I try to save timeshift). While with VTI (latest build) that I tried the last few days, the permanent timeshift worked OK.
You saying that better reflash from scratch? I'll do that and come back again to post results.
Yep I made the mistake of restoring settings from 204 and it was awful. Did a fresh flash and setup from scratch - all ok :)

Why would you want to delete them from the bin? That goes all automated, according to your settings.
Ok, so couple of things I've noticed over build 204.
Good:
*HDD now stops spinning as it should
*More stable (memory leak gone?)
*Nicer EPG, now highlights whats currently showing in a different colour
Bad:
*HDMI-CEC - turns off Samsung TV but does not always turn on
*When watching a recording, in 204 the name was displayed on the box but now it shows the time elapsed and remaining

Any HDMI-CEC issues are not image related and are due to VU's closed source driver only they can fix it
Do you not know what you are watching :D see a few posts back in this thread about this

That's good you mean!
You're supposed to know what you're watching, so displaying a name is displaying non-info.
Are there any plans or is their a way to make the EPG same as sky planner i.e having listings/titles " HD, Movies, Sport etc. " above the EPG ?
Currently when i press EPG button i first have to select listing from bouquet.

Liking the new image a lot, much slicker than 2.3 a big thumbs up from me :thumbsup:

Not the answer you are waiting for, but: best way is trial & error. If you download Magic-HD (via the feeds), open the skin.xml with a suitable editor (PSPad or Notepad++), compare it with the skin.xml in ViX-Night and look at the desired screen....... you have a starting point then.
Always make backups before trying out stuff like this!

Earlier versions it did not go to live TV after a recording was stopped, it does now thats why theres a monetarily black screen

On channel change in the Magic-HD skin when I zap to a channel or just press the ok button whilst on a channel I get extra buttons which I would like to hide.
THe buttons are
Single EPG (red) Timers (green) Search (orange) Extensions (blue)
I am pretty sure they were not in the old image
Can these buttons be hidden from the menus or are they a permanent feature of the skin ?
apologies. seems the problem had was actually due to a game setting on the tv which intensifies the brightness of the screen. It seems the TV has difficulty maintaining this game setting for an extended period of time and starts to play up. My son had changed to this setting but when I I put it back to normal mode everything has been fine. apologies for the inference that this was a vix problem

well at least you know now.
I upgraded yesterday, (from v 204) including the online updates this evening, all was working fine.
I was watching a film a little while ago, a separately provided .avi file, and was almost at the end of approx 3 hour movie when the box suddenly rebooted and is now stuck on starting (on screen) and Vu+ in the display. I can't access via telnet.
Am I going to have to reflash? Any ideas?

So it is part of the skin then. I would have turned it off it was in the menus. The buttons look ok in the VIX-HD Skin but looks out of place in the Magic-HD skin. Thats just my opinion. Even with the buttons in I am still going to stick with Magic HD Skin even if I am never going to use the buttons. :lifting: IMO its the best skin out of all the skins including blackhole, VTI, PLI (wait not pli as its in there too) Great image and great skin.... much appreciated.

Guys I am having probems with CCcam ecm times from a local card using wireless networking (cc cam 2.2.1).I had the same problems with vix 2.3 on the new kernal. Funnily 2.3GM works with out any bother .Ecm times keep jumping from .190 to .350 to sometimes 2.345 with the resulting glitching ..why would ecm times jump rapidly on the new image when previous versions worked fine ..I have tried 3 dongles all with the same result (Belkin FD7050,vonets etc ).I have a nova -t dvb connected also .I am unable to wire the network so I will prob have to go back to 2.3GM to have a stable ecm time unless anybody has any solutions why the ecm times keep jumping all over the place when they should be fairly constant...(could this be related to the memory leak with some duos???)Love the new version by the way and would love to be able to use it if I got stable ecm times...:confused:

Exactly the same way you flash a new image. Copy the vuplus folder and contents to an empty fat32 formatted memory stick and then boot from it. The bootloader doesn't take long to flash. Once done go ahead and flash 2.4.

There's no image-related reason why PQ would be different at all, be it better or worse).
Before trying to intall this version I'd like to know i there's any SD skin that can be installed over.
As Rob knows I'm very fond of his MAGIC skin. And hopefully I would like to use it over the 2.4 version because it's really easy reading font size on every menu.
OR does the new font sizing feature on the 2.4 applies on every setting of the VIX image?

This is a well done job. Thank you guys.

This has to be to do with the wrong MGcamd installed..
Vix team have never made a MGcamd 1.38.. I also had issues with that and dumped it while testing..
Went back to the Vix 135a and all has been perfect since..
Use these softcams only for the Vix image..

No, they are 'in an unstable state'. If you still want to use them, you should accept unstable updates (Menu --> System --> Online updates).

no thats rite, we marked the 2.4-112 image as unstable as it is largly untested after a major update, you can still install this update but to do this you must tell the image you wish to install potentially unstable updates.
Menu > Setup > System > Online update > Set allow unstable updates to YES. make a backup first just incase.
Now just because it is marked as unstable does not mean there is any thing wrong with the image but were just being cautioush.

A few remarks regarding Vix Night HD skin:
SlimChannelSelection:
The title seems doubled with a bit offset. I guess you dont need to code the Title-widget when using the panel name="MenuPanel" which include title in itselfe.
IMDB:
The starsbar is displaying wrong numbers of stars. I guess you have to change size of <widget name="starsbg" and <widget name="stars" from "240,21" to "210,21".
1. The issue with SlimChannelSelection is fixed in 2.4.112 at least partially. I think a code line is removed by a mistake as the EPG icon now is gone.
2. I cant see any changes regarding starsbar in IMDB. Not a big issue but may be possible to take a look at it?
3. The last line in the label containing ExtendedEventDescription in Vix Graphical Epg Pig is cutted off half. Not a big issue but may be possible to take a look at it when you have spare time?
Thank for the new image, it feels completely stable. I've not experienced a single crash / freeze since installing, where I was getting at least 4 or 5 every day with 2.3.204.
Up untill now there used to be an option for the program progress bar to be displayed in the info bar & I think you could switch it on or off.
Has this feature been removed as I can't find it anywhere?
Cheers

1. The issue with SlimChannelSelection is fixed in 2.4.112 at least partially. I think a code line is removed by a mistake as the EPG icon now is gone.

Hi andy
I got this pic from the release page of 2.1 as I can't find a pic of 2.3. It clearly shows the progress bar above the signal strength. Maybe it has never been switch off and on able but was part of the info screen. No biggy but is there any way I can add it back
Slightly confused about the bootloader, as the text file says:
Rev. 3.0
- Increase the update usb file size to 128M Bytes
- Change the flash memory map(kernel size : 4M, /boot : 2M)
Is this necessary? If so, where do I do it.

It's the changelog: it tells you what it does.
The bootloader is required for use with all Kernel 3.1.1 based images, so if you were using any ViX 2.3 image build 153 and above you will be fine, That was just a reminder for those still using older kernel based images to update their bootloader first before loading ViX 2.4.
To flash the bootloader it's the exact same procedure as flashing a image and takes just a few seconds. You can get the bootloader in the release thread with the image.

Ah yes, duh. Thanks :D

I was running 2.3 so I won't need to use the bootloader, thanks for the help again.

That depends on the version your running.
2.3 GM - 2.3-133 used the older 2.6.18 linux kernel so didnt really need the bootloader unless the images were over 64MB in size.
2.3-153 - 2.3-204 Use the new 3.1.1 linux kernel so need the bootloader weather the image is over 64MB in size or not.

I was using the 3.1.1 kernel, I remember that.
Finally, as the OP says you can't restore settings/plugins, do I manually have to add all my stuff again, like the tuner settings etc? :(
yes thats the best thing to do as there are a lot of changes in 2.4.
i find it best to keep copies of all my usual plugins in one place on a memory stick so when i do need to do a fresh reflash with no restored plugins it only takes me 10 minutes to do.
Thanks, well I have all my softcams already saved so that's easy to upload, I'll just redownload the plugins I use, there are only like 5. :)

Easy for you to see for yourself on your box: ViX --> Update then 'see changes'.
or look in the release threads as its also posted there.

Just a note about the unattended upgrade.
It would be better to show something like a progress bar during the upgrade process.
:mad:
just updated to 119
DUO restarted itself, showed the last tuned channel BUT the display still was displaying STARTING. Obviously not responding to remote commands I had to switch off manually.
No log was generated.
Some more news about network browser issues:
Besides NFS i've tried installing SAMBA and activated samba sharing on the Mac.
The browser does not collapse hosts to show shares.
Anyway adding manually nfs shares works.

which is why we tell you to make a backup incase something goes wrong.

The issue is affecting me since the first install of 2.4.
Any suggestions?

That's not possible, hence the name 'unattended' :D
The GUI is not available, so the GUI can't show anything.

No. During the many tests we did on 2.4 before releasing it, we never experienced something like that.
Best to post your crash-logs (if any) and debug-log.
Wicked How do I get the updated skin?
Excellent performed the online update last night. The skin looks soooooooooo much cleaner great work...:thumbsup:

LOL, for your eyes only....
But seriously: it's always a struggle to find compromises between all the user-wishes, and we simply can't please all. But in this case the choice was easy: I also like to see useful info only; I don't like screens being cluttered with all kinds of graphics etc that have no real meaning.

I installed 2.4.101 on Saturday and having backed up timers and cccam files I installed from scratch. It all went very smoothly (bar the Vu stuck on Starting.. after the first restart after install. This was due to the USB having old files on it. Formatted the drive, popped it back in and all was well again)
I really like the look of it and really feels like a step up from 2.3. Menus and EPG look great and the simplified info bar makes a lot of sense.
Been running for 48 hours and not a glitch and it seems much smoother and snappier while using it. Haven’t installed memclear or set up to restart every 24hrs and hoping I wont have to.
Thanks to the Vix team for their hours of hard work on this. Seems to me that the hours of testing have really paid off. :thumbsup:
Been using since upadate and love it but having problems with EPG not updating so turned off the HDMI controls (sorry cant remember its name) and it updated today! Also when watching recorded programs I could press ok to see the program info, this has gone is there any way to turn it back on? I am using the default Night skin!
Thanks :thumbsup:

Indeed: only use those 'work-arounds' if you really have to.

Just a heads up, downloaded build 119 yesterday and it was constantly crashing so reverted back to stable 96 build for now.

you need to provide more information.
such as.
was this a online update from a previous version or a clean flash, if it was a update from which previous build ?.
what skin were you using at the time.
what plugins were you using? list all of them wether you got them from the feeds or otherwise.
exactly what was happening ?
was this on all channels of just FTA ?.
do you have crash logs or debug logs from this time and if so please upload them so we can look at them.
the more information you can provide the better chance we have of finding your problem.
dont get me wrong i appreciate your feedback but without more detailed information were just guessing as to the cause of your problem.

I would have provided a crash log but I didn't have it enabled so can you tell me how to do so for future problems?
I upgraded via the menu in vix from the last openvix build. I was using vix day HD. The plugins installed were all the default ones in addition to mgcamd 1.38 vix version which works flawlessly on 96 build. It was just random crashing, the image would freeze but i could still hear the audio of the channel. This happened roughly 4 times in the space of 2 hours. The remote wouldn't respond so I had to restart the box from the back. I thought it was a recording problem as I was recording another programme but I cancelled the recording and the box still crashed. Back to 96 build and no issues so far.
well technically thats not a crash as a crash would have shown you a black screen with white text just before enigma rebooted it self, crash logs are enabled as default and saved to /home/root/logs/ debug logs however are set to off as default and only really need to be switched on if you need to log specific behaviour.

Above post edited with details mate.
in such cases enable the debug logging feature and upload the logs it generates for the times affected ( logs are running constantly but only write to file once the box is rebooted ).
to enable. menu> setup> system> logs> settings.
debug logs will be saved to the same location as regular crash logs or you can send them directly from the logs manager.
No. During the many tests we did on 2.4 before releasing it, we never experienced something like that.
Best to post your crash-logs (if any) and debug-log.
No crash log at all.
The debug log should be there despite the crash log?
I did an online update to 119 from 112 today and the infobar has lost all the information about channel /program now and next and snr/agc every thing in the grey overlay panels is blank using night hd skin
plugins as standard install no extra's
