Yes, you can revert back. Try it if you want & let us know if the same cams work.
Did you do any settings restore by the way?

[alba1978]

did not do a restore as my box crashed while deleting one of the old image and would not turn on was stuck on et9x00 so i just installed the new image

[alba1978]

tried safari and firefox browser but with no joy

[alba1978]

reverted back to 2.4 213 and i have the same problem it wont install and gives me the same error

[KristianM]

Sounds like the ipk is corrupt. Are you sure you're using binary ftp transfer?

[alba1978]

i am using filezilla and alwyas used it

[judge]

Your downloads are corrupt. Nothing wrong with the image so,

[alba1978]

any way i ca fix it as the same downloads worked on the previous image

Doesn't sound like it did?

Where are you now downloading the cam from?

[alba1978]

i downloaded from the link in this forum and you are right the downloads are corrupt as i found an old cccam download and it worked but now i need an mgcamd one but will google and see if there is any other links i can downloaded from.

Which link so it can be removed if it doesn't work?

[Stanman]

Can you please code your links, no live linking is allowed

As far as I'm aware, those cams are fine.
However, I always use a working cam as a backup.
So, now that you have a working cam on VIX again, ftp that cam, it should be in /usr/softcams/ back to your PC.
Then when you update to the latest VIX image, ftp it back to the same place. No need for an ipk install.

[alba1978]

thanks for your help gents i have sorted it out through other links and will back things up for the future.

i tried installing TSPANEL on latest image but got a magic error - cccam intalled fine tho and managed to get my channel list on using dreamset instead

[judge]

TSPANEL is not recommended a stable image.
Use it at your own risk.

[tamerhabib]

These cams will work on VIX OE 3.0 or not ?

[Larry-G]

These cams will work on VIX OE 3.0 or not ?

yes cams work with ViX 3.0 in fact i'm using the same version of CCcam on 3.0 as i was using on ViX 2.2 / 2.3 / 2.4. as for TS panel it's not a plugin we recommend and all plugins - cams contained within it which claim to be for the ViX image are nothing to do with us so be careful and use it at your own risk.

[river-rat]

the prob i had was it need renaming as too many _ _ _ under name

[punisher]

try downloading via another browser, maybe the ipk is corrupt

[alba1978]

have tried ie9,safari and chrome but no joy

[Maxwell]

try putting them directly into /var/volatile/tmp

[alba1978]

done that and no good still/i am trying to recover some files and find a version thati have downloaded before and hope it works as cccam download from may works perfect but currently downloaded one has the same mistake as mgcamd

[Stanman]

Try another computer, as all fine here, may be getting corrupted in some weird twilight zone way

[alba1978]

Will do as it could be my laptop as it has been acting strangely since installing virgin media security on it.thanks for the advice

[KristianM]

I had no problems installing enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd.1.35a_1.0-r3_mipsel.ipk on my et9200 after upgrading to VIX 3.0.

Just downloaded enigma2-plugin-cams-cccam.2.3.0_1.0_mipsel.ipk from
http://www.4shared.com/dir/wnyHV50A/VIX_CAMS.htmlTransferred file to box with FileZilla and installed with opkg:

Try checking filesize and maybe md5sum of your downloaded file.
