Not sure if this is the right place to post.

Been running the new image since it was released and it was running like a dream, until I switched the TV on tonight and found the VIX logo spinning on a black screen, but the red standby light was on?

No control with the remote, so a power cycle was required.

Anyway I can't figure out what might have caused this as I'm not sure where to find the logs on the device over FTP?

Only thing that springs to mind would be the EPG that was set for download at 4am.

Clone users should be encourage to make the updates and break their boxes. After all sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

I don't get why they knowingly buy clones when the sponsor offers cracking deals on genuine kit. The support online via this forum is second to none.

We would,nt want to break peeps units,..even if they are clones, we just refuse to surport them, the reasons for knowingly buying a clone, is a mystery to me, most clones dont last long,
but we need to keep the thread on track, but thanks for the point of view

The current stable version is 244 as for TSpanel you will need the newest version as the older ones do not work with OE-A based images such as ViX 3.0.

Ok lads. I updated with the online update and now I have an error.

" SOME PLUGINS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. EXTENSIONS/TSPANEL ( BAD MAGIC NUMBER IN /USR/LIB/ENIGMA2/PYTHON/PLUGINS/EXTENSIONS/TSPANEL/_IN IT_.PYO )

Rob van der Does
05-09-12, 19:00
That means that the plugin you used is not comptible.

Larry-G
05-09-12, 19:01
as i said you need to use the very latest version as the older ones are no longer compatible with OE-A / ViX images

Larry-G

I dont mean the newest version of the image i meant the newest version of the TSpanel it self as older versions will not work with the ViX 3.0 image or any image produced by the OE-Alliance.

All,
I just updated from VIX 3 242 to 250 and all is fine. One thing I see thats gone is the exit movie player to exit recording playback. I thought this was a great feature but now see that its not there anymore (tried some menus incase it was a setting but couldnt find it.)
Is this the setting that changed in 250.
[keymap] remove 'EXIT' button for MoviePlayer
Can I put it back ????

No!!!! That was a horrible temporarily mistake.
There is a stop-button to stop playback; why would you want to have that doubled on another button?

dfdream
06-09-12, 07:10
The functions might be the same but why should they.
If STOP is pressed then it can do what the "Behaviour when a movie is stopped" setting is set to (normally go to movie list).
But if the EXIT Button was then set to exit player altogether and return to TV Channels.
I know you can set the stop to return to live TV but this way you have the best of both worlds....
Then you could have STOP return to movie list and EXIT to go to live TV...

I always feel that there is too many button presses to go to live TV on the occasion you dont want to go to the movie list....

Horrible.....
What if you push exit by chance? If you push it one time too many (as happens to me quite often; being in info and pushing exit without even looking) I would revert to TV? I never want to go to TV, so why should I go there by such a mistake?

dfdream
06-09-12, 09:17
If you push the exit button on VIX 3.0 242 the popup appears to ask if you want to exit movieplayer. It doesnt go straight to TV. (Crisis Averted).
Rob you need to look at the remote when pressing buttons, you could always press the wrong button.

I just thought it might be a good feature, the EXIT Button exiting out of the movie player instead of doing nothing..

Its no panic as by your comments Im not being entertained anyway...

As for "I never want to go to TV" do you just watch recordings all the time...

Rob would it be an option to put this feature back in and put an option in Setup...customise to enable it or not... I bloody miss it to be honest...

This to me was a no brainer of an option. Press EXIT to exit, I know I can press stop but if Im not playing a recording I have to press esc. If you are playing a recording you have to press stop and then press esc (depending on what option you have set).



Thanks

what format are your movies in

Rob van der Does
26-09-12, 21:29
It looks like the codec is not supported by the box. It's not a recording made by the box I presume?

I use this method loads & have no issues.
I'd guess it's down to the encoding of the movies you are trying to view.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for a great work you have done. I've used an older version of VIX for a long time without any problems.

Some three weeks ago I updated to latest build. Everything went fine and I made all settings on the receiver. I use a 2G
USB flash to save EPG onto, and I have network connected. HW is a VU+ Solo.

My problem: When using the receiver for two to four days, software will freeze in the night and won't respond to remote
when trying to turn it on :( I've updated to last build and had the problem. I've done one or two software update from
the menu, but problem still remain. Please advice what I can do or how I can assist to resolve problem.

17-02-13, 22:52
Turn on debug logs, Menu -> Setup -> System -> Logs -> Settings -> Enable debug log = yes.
Upload the relevant debug log the next time this happens.
Also, 'last build' really is useless & doesn't help anyone who experience similar issues.
Menu -> Information -> About, will show you your current build number, stating that helps a million times more than last build.

As judge says development had not stopped, but as there were many important changes going on we had to make sure they worked before pushing the image to the public server. Its not often that we have to do this but occasionally we have to withdraw images until there ready by testing internally for a while.
