Installing other skins will cause the box to get into an infinite loop. Only use supported skins on this image (currently Vu_HD_Plus is the only supported skin)

fabulous fabulous fabulous.
to all concerned you've done us and yourselves proud, it's a tremedous first attempt, i thank you all.
who's ever responsable for "cool epg" it certainly is that it's the best there's ever been i like the idea of it being right across the screen, added to that the whole image has a great feel about it.
ok gotta i've say it a "moan" the text on the setup menu on my display is disappearing from the left of the screen, i've had to pop next door and ask them what it say's :D
apart from that it's a great attempt, have i said it? i think it's fabulous.
my greatest respect to all concerned.

Found a fix for the ECM nan ECM fix for VU + OE 1.6 works fine just re-boot a couple of times

ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING
Had a quick mess with the image and have to say bravo lads. Absolutely no issues at all and love the single press multi epg. Definitely Image of choice.
ok I have got it loaded all working well no probs finding my HDD which was a bonus. I do however have one very small problem and thats the coolepg I have tryed it before and it does have some cool features but I hate having to use red to zap, I would normaly just change the buttons round in the GraphMultiEpg.py but this seems to be gone lol.

i would not use that, it will turn off Harware FPU and enable software, and will slow down your Vu+

i'd say it fixed almost everything..... thanks andy :D
Can't seem to get CCCam 2.1.4 working, I've installed the plugin and it appears in the softcam manager but when I try and change it from "none" to "CCCam 2.1.4" it says that its starting the cam but then just drops back to the softcam/ci menu and the cam isn't running. also it doesn't seem to have installed a cccam.cfg file in VAR/ETC/
any ideas?
The downloading file is nfi or usb?
Thanks Andy I found the help button in the epg just after posting lol. Also it lets you choose to start at bouquets so thats me sorted all where iI want it now. Going to have a play with the media player now.
@Etk you just need to ftp your CCcam file to the box, Works a treat.

@ andyblac
i've tried the screen shots mate, but they dont appear in them as they do on screen, so there's no point in that exercise.
it's mainly on the sub menus in the satellite setup, also the text on CCcam info is so small i cant even see it standing nose to screen :D
i don't know who to addres this one to so i'll start with you, on Media Player i don't know what it's called but the track timer more or less top left of screen, it's blocking the track info, and anyway we have the track times at the bottom of the screen so can we remove the top one.
regards: canthackit
@ canthackit, can you post a screenshot of how the menus appear on your screen please?
Even if you take a photo on your mobile phone.
All up and running great guys, thanks again :)

As you most can most likely appreciate, we can't test on every size of TV. Your looks like a 50", so we'd be interested to see how it appears on your TV.
@ Canthackit and Bob1, what TV's are you using and resolution?
I'm using a Panasonic pwd8 and a Yamaha 736 amp composite into the amp component to the plasma, resolution from the duo is probably 480i , i should get the new tv soon so i wil be back to using hdmi, i selected dvi in the setup because thats what i'll be using.

Is the media center improved in this version or does it still suffer from terrible motion blur? permission to redistibute on other forums?

ok, unless I have missed some thing, is there a download addons any where on the image??...lazy I know, and yes I can load my fravs etc via db edit,
also this image has been loaded straight onto an "out of the box" unit,
I have had a few green screens, but suspect that is because the image is not fully set up (no channel list, hard drrive yet)

@ Basilyoung, upload a set from our Enigma2 section.
@ Canthackit. Check your TV settings for overscan sections or picture horizontal picture size / width. Had a similar issue with on fashioned hitachi yesterday, but managed to adjust the TV for all to fit.
@ Oldskulride, we need to look at SD skins in future.

Little tip, to show the event progress bars as in this screenshot, do the following: -
Menu > Setup > System > Customize > Set 'Show event-progress in channel selection' to yes ;)

Very good job guys on this image!
BUT!
Coming from the PLi-image and the correct linebreaks on subbed channels (nearly all here in Sweden) and find that they arenīt correct on this image is almost a dealbreaker for me and the missus ;)
Do you know how to implement the correct linebreaks or is that a secret for the PLi people only to know about?
Canīt get my Siriuschannels to appear also. Selected the correct satellite but nothing happens regarding to signalstrenght. Thorchannels work without a problem.
Overall, good job. Maybe the errors I have are userbased? :D

Have you tried this with latest official image? Could be a bug in the source.
no, I have tried it in the latest open Pli builds and worked fine.
I have problems with EPG IMPORT, tried it twice always the same result, after third providers, the Vu+ slows down drastically , it shows busy icon all the time, and just load load , without success, sometimes you can see on the screen how it loads events one by one, and just stops. Anyway after all is done. some providers have epg, but most of them not.

Anyway after all is done. some providers have epg, but most of them not.
Which providers are you trying to download from, and what is the internet address of the source you're downloading?!
I am downloading, mostly, rytes BE XMLTV, Rytec UK, Rytec CanalSat XMLTV, Rytec Nordic XMLTV,Rytec Sky Italy XMLTV, Rytec Nova XMLTV, Rytec Dplus XMLTV, Rytec Sky Germany XMLTV
>>>internet address of the source you're downloading:
I've did not changed source, how it is originally set in the image.
Btw, last time when i watched download on screen, it was stuck on "Rytec CanalSat XMLTV"
When I checked for example sKy germany, it was not any epg info in my epg.
Rushed home and flashed the image but now stymied. Can't find 160.0E Optus D1 in the satelite list.....
A big thanks to the VIX team for a very nice and clean looking image!
Any chance of providing RS-232 control in parallel to IR remote control codes in the image? Preferable with an increased set of commands in RS-232 control.
The absence of RS-232 control is the only major flaw I found so far with the VU+.
Please? :-)

Reboot your receiver, check internet connectivity and maybe try again later. Could be an issue connecting to Rytec's server.

connectivity is not a problem, problem is it;s looks like EPG import uses all the vu+ resources , because hourglass icon is on the screen all the time, receiver is just stuck.
A reboot sorted out my CCCAM not starting problem, thanks. i will post the few small things that i have found, not as a complaint but purly as a point of interest.
A few issues that i have found.
I posted a crash log and it looks like i have over filled it with plugins, yet i dont have any plugins. i installed the image in flash and dont bother with any extra plugins. i have a vu duo with 1TB hard drive
The EPG import didnt work for me on the UK satmate but did work on Rytec UK, however downloading the 42000 entries took a lot longer than it does on my last image, open PLI. love the way in which you can pull the timers up on the side bar with the option of disabling etc.
My wish list would be for a major improvment to the media player in order to accept different downloaded programs MKVs etc withour getting stuttering and motion Blur.
Thanks
Hi all

There is a link on the first post that takes you to the downloads.
There is both nfi and USB version that you can download....
If you download the ZIP file, there are 3 files in the zip file...Place all 3 files inside /vuplus/duo folder on a USB stick.
Power box off...put USB in....power up....wait untill it says remove and reboot...
All done. :D
connectivity is not a problem, problem is it;s looks like EPG import uses all the vu+ resources , because hourglass icon is on the screen all the time, receiver is just stuck.
Imported mine this morning, and all worked fine.
After yours has finished importing, go back to the epg downloader, and press the epg button, should give you the log. Press the button to save it, and upload here...
my fault for being such a eager beaver i downloaded wrong 1 cheers m8

As sic says. There's a check script already running on the box... This will restart cccam if it is not running or appears to have frozen...
As for the cron manager, it is running by default. To get it to run cron jobs, you need to edit the file at /etc/cron/ called root. Look up how to add cron jobs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Examples
Where do you change where you want to store EPG data? i want to store it on USB stick instead of HDD.

I did not know there was a sript running but cant find the cronjobs does not seem to be at the places you listed

it automatically check for a large storage device, if no hdd is available is uses USB automatically
Thanks pooface
I did not know there was a sript running but cant find the cronjobs does not seem to be at the places you listed
the correct place is '/etc/cron/root' (root being a file not a folder)

Maybe in the future. Problem we have at the moment is that we only have one Solo in the team.

I take it you've already installed a channel list, and haven't installed any plugins such as quickbutton (think that's the name)?! For me, it works perfectly fine straight off when pressing the epg button... My only guess is you've installed a plugin somewhere, or that your settings file you copied over to the image has messed something up...
What plugins have you installed (manually and through the download server)?! And have you actually transferred a channel list over to the box?!

@jcl - Are you able to view channels as per normal? If the channe listing is fine then all you would need to do is press the epg button.
Have you considered re-flashing?
that is the LONG epg button, just press and release dont hold it down for too long
That's what I thought, but wanted to see what happens when I get home, just so I could confirm :p
As andy saidjcl, try just pressing the button once short
why would you want to reboot every day ?
i find that it keeps the box nice and fresh all the time if you set the box to reboot at like say 04.00 then the epg to update at 04.10 everyday
Loaded the image last night only picked up the box on staurday morning. I had aTM800 but returned it and paid the extra as far as i am concerned they are not in the same league.
Anyway back to my point:
Are there differnet ccam 2.14 files i have found one and before i try to ftp to the box will it be the right one.

thanks bob for the reply
at the moment the box is on itv hd
press the down arrow which brings up the channel list (there is no program data)
I then press epg button (short press) up comes program guide with itv in the left top corner and tv screen on the right side.
apart the writing at the top (program guide) and the 4 coloured buttons at the bottom the rest of the screen is black. I have also reflashed twice with different usb's still the same.
just a thought it wouldn't make any difference if dhcp was disabled would it.

To get cccam working on the box, download the cccam from the image server (long blue -> green -> cams). This way, it integrates with the softcam in the image, and also runs the camcheck script to ensure cccam is always running

just a note guy's please bare with us, this our first image and it is based the original Vu+ Duo 5.2 image, so any bugs that are in that image might be here too. we have fixed quite a few, but as there is no developers manual for Enigma2 it hard for us to find the root cause of problems, (unless skin related) ie the Timeshift Bug not been smooth on rewind it's hard to find where in the code to start looking, also to say that it works in other images does not help much as we dont know their coded either, and i doubt any other team would be will to help out. so if any of you have or can help out in the coding area all help is gratefully received.

That look like your epg download is corrupt or something.
Try the following: -
FTP to /media/hdd and delete any epg.dat files on your HDD.
Reboot.
Then try a manual download/update of your epg.

if you know how to use cron, for now you will have to set it manually just create a folder 'cron' folder in /etc and edit your root file so like this
create '/etc/cron' folder and create a file root put all your cron jobs in there and it should run them.
thank you for replay i done that but is still the same here my new screenshots
ok, you will need to clear out your corrupt epg cache first, open a telnet session and copy and paste the following
rm -f /hdd/epg.dat
init 4
sleep 5
init 3
that wil close enigma2 clear the cache and restart it, them try to download you data again

When I installed VIX image, the EPG stay empty. On the info bar I can see now/next broadcast, but nothing in EPG menu. From the sources I can download the epg that I need. Please advise me what to do and sorry for my poor english.

Hi
First of all , thanks to everyone involved for a great image.
I have a slight problem with my setup with this image. I have a multiu LNB setup, 4 lnbs into a switch. When I setup the switch I get 2 of the LNB's seeing only Horizontal frequencies, and the other two only vertical.
Does anyone know off the top of their head to save me a bit of time reflashing my old image, what setting in the advanced services searching menu effects this ?
I guess that it is different than in the DE images.

as i dont really want to change this for the main image, as it will look worse on tv with good overscan (my TV allows me to turn overscan off, so i get get FULL 1080x1920 pixels :D), how about if i add a option into the "Skin Setting" to shift the menus to the right abit when enabled ?
as the ecm, i'll take look at the font size :)
Thanks for the image, just installed it all and it's working great so far.
One quick question If I may.
I'm trying to run a combination of OSCAM and MGCAMD.
I can't find a way to get these to start on this image.
Is the correct place for this to be started in /etc/init.d
And do the files script have to be set-up with a particular name (mine is currently softcam.OSCAM_MGCamd)
AM I missing something obvious here?
Thanks for any pointers.

Purple insnīt the best colour regrding to visability.

Hi mates
To get EPG working choose either blue button EPGImport or menu setup vu+hd
once loaded you can select what channels you wish in your epg..set time for update and number of days to source once you done this i would then select manual to start downloading EPG data to start your planner up then it should update at the set times after.

Just playing with the new image and like it, was using pli before.
Just a few problems/queries
Can I
Format a USB stick (timeshift) to ext3 with this image can't find anything in the menus
I can't see my NAS drive with this image it was in storage device list on the pli image
For some reason alot of the channels (mainly HD) in the chanel list are greyed out rather than white. I can select them Ok just a bit strange, i'm using the B16MCC Bouquets
Great work & thanks

Hi m8s
Im wondering with old enigma1 you was able to move OSD anywhere on the screen withing the program when enigma 2 was introduced was this removed as i feel this would resolve all the problems members are having using various tv sets the option to be able to move the osd would be a simple solution

To answer one of my own questions regarding the color of the font used for the subs just do the following to have it changed from red to white.
If you're using the default skin (Vu+ HD-Plus), then edit the file /usr/share/enigma2/Vu_HD_Plus/skin.xml
Find the <subtitle> section and locate this part:
<sub name="Subtitle_TTX" font="Regular;30" shadowColor="#40101010" shadowOffset="3,3" />
and add a color definition:
<sub name="Subtitle_TTX" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="#FFFFFF" shadowColor="#40101010" shadowOffset="3,3" />
(notice the forgroundColor bit is being set to FFFFFF, or 'white' to us humans)
Now, you need to restart Enigma GUI or simply reboot your box.
I assume this would also work for a different skin, provided you edit it's associated skin.xml file. Take backup of the original skin.xml before you change anyhing.I guess you can tweak it more but for now this does it for me. It works great but as usual, backup the file BEFORE you change anything!
Do you think you can implement this in a future release of VIX?

Thanks. I know this very well, but as I mention in my request for help, this sources are very limited to just a few providers. I need for 39E, Bulsatcom. With the other images EPG working like a charm and I don't need to download or import anything. I like this image, but I will go back to VTI until this issue is fixed somehow.

First things first, a big thanks to Andy and the rest of the team iinvolved with the development of this new image. I've been using it all day and must say its one hell of an accomplishment for a first effort. Sure there are a few things not perfect as yet but as has been stated some of these may not be image specific but originating from the official release. Really love the feature that works like Series Link, superb!
I always tried new images when they were released but always ended up going back to BH as I this is what was familiar to me from my DM800 days, and for me it did everything i needed it to do, and I loved Armys Ghost skin. But I will be keeping this one on. The improvements outweigh the niggles for me.
Is it possible to get the ecm time displayed rather than Nan showing. I have read the instruction on how to but also the caution on using this method and i dont wanna be slowing down my Duo.
Again thanks for all the hard work, time and effort put into this.

thanks for the nice words, really appreciated.
as for ecm time, unfortunately this is a limited by cccam and the official release. i had tried the so-called fix for almost a weak and must say it is very effective slowing down the box and so i reverted back and stopped using it. thus, wouldn't recommend on a practical basis and not just theoretical.
here you go mate.
sorry about this i know you and the guy's have put a lot of hard work in for us, and i do like the image generaly speaking.
its' just this text problem driving me nuts.
i can't seem to add attachments to PM's, so i'll post 'em here.
just to add it's the text on CCcam info it's not a consistant size each page has a varying degree.

hows this for the ECM Info screens, as for the main menus, i am coding an option the shift the menus to right slightly when enabled:)

now for the menu shift for ya :)
can u find the sat on the list for the tuner or not.
if u can't find the satellite in the then u need another satellites.xml file which u may obtain from
http://satellites-xml.eu/
hth
Thanks for that. Now that I have generated the new satellites.xml file where do I copy it to?
@ the FABULOUS VIX team: Just installed VIX but seems to suffer like canthackit do... All the menus are cut off a bit on the left side. But I'm currently using a Philips 32" CRT WS TV.
I edited the skin.xml file for a test. Positioned the Information/About menu to "60,0" instead, and I think it was spot on. What does actually this mean? Overscan? Dont't think I can det rid of it in the TV's menu(?)...
Also I found out that Vu_HD_plus skin is the only one functioning properly right now. Greenscreens when using some of the other default installed, and going into the "Softcam" menu...
Keep up the good work!
/Yngve
I think you have made it too easy to delete a recording ,i prefer a two button press asking me if i'm seriously going to delete "how fat is your step mothers granddaughter" ,the wife or kids could easily delete them without much effort.
Just my opinion, others might prefer it.

As mentioned in the first post... Reason being that none of the skins have been modded for the image...
Hello all im now on this new image (thanks all involved) first impressions are all good with me the only thing im a bit stumped by is the dreaded picons AGAIN ! I am using the channel list supplied by Sic (I love em) so i will not be changing from these, all the picons were working fine on DE but now im only getting a few showing ?? ive tried storing to HD and also on USB but the same happens ! I have even tried changing my channel list to the BMcc one just to check & rebooted various times but with no success ? any help would be appreciated. (I am back to the Vu-Support list now.)
cheers : Paul.

Ahh... thought i had read something about it somewhere.., sorry!
What about the first part of my post? Can someone please explain the "overscan" issue to me?
@ the developers: when selecting sattelite the first time I noticed that there were no 0.8°W sattelite, only 0.9°W. This gave me problems when ftp'ing my "old" bouquets to the reciever. These were based on 0.8°W. Solution simple --> download & replace satellites.xml. Perhaps this could be done in a future image release? Perhaps provide both of them? Couldn't find anything on
satellites-xml.euabout 0.9°W satellite...

When you were using the de image, did you have the picons definitely in the usb? I'm wondering whether they were stored in the local flash, and when you re-installed the image, you cleared the flash out?! With the bmcc settings (and I believe the vusupport ones), they use the different service ref to most picons, and wondering whether you might've uploaded a new set of picons to the flash rather than the usb?!

Na deffo in the usb and ive tried the HDD as well just in case ! what i have noticed though is that if i go to the satellites listing and select the channels from their on most they work fine ? but NOT if im using the favorite lists ?? could this be a sid assignment problem ?/

andy is looking in to creating an option for you to move the menus across a little... But it does sound like it could be set dependant... Have a read here about overscan:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan
Wonder if this is anything to do with the problem canthackit is having with his pioneer (search for overscan in the page):
http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/plasmatv.php?player=Plasma-TV&question=Picture_Quality
How'd you connect your box to the tv?! via hdmi routed from the amp?! If so, can you try direct in to the tv with your vuplus via hdmi?!
Until tomorrow I'm using a Philips 32" CRT widescreen TV. Using scart direct from VU to TV. From tomorrow on I'll hopefully be using a Panasonic TXP50GE20E plasma.

PS! Out of curiosity, is it possible to make a user selectable entry in the skin settings, e.g "Menu position..." where the user can put the coordinates of choice?

when you press delete (RED), it moves the file to the trashcan, it does not delete it immediately. if you want to empty trash, highlight it and press menu, then you will see an option to empty trash, or if you go inside trashcan and delete a file from there it will remove it permanently

@pio - Go to the listing of the files /movies you currently have recoerded. In the list at the top there is trash. When you delete a file from the list, it will drop in to there. You can then go in to the trash and permenantly delete the file.
Hi all
I have had the image installed for a day now and have to say you have done a great job.
CCCam is lightning fast to start when you reboot and have had no green screens,i also like that the script to check cccam is built in.
I have one problem but i am not sure if it is related to the image or the epg grabber has anyone else got a problem with the EPG not populating most of the Danish channels, it seems to download the Rytec Nordic xmltv fine but most of the EPG is empty.
Anyone else having this problem?by the way iam using the latest catseye settings

Try the following: -
1. Full reboot cycle.
2. Check with a different set or Enigma 2 settings.

Have you got a cccam.cfg file located in /etc/, and have you also tried re-starting the box?!
image is pretty good, apart from a little black bar at the bootom of the picture jumping up and down, on some channels, it is very noticable, i am using a 42inch panasonic plasma, never had this problem on any other image, and another problem, i cant get any epg working it just shows blank, and ccam info on the skin like alot of other skins, i cant find, for time and hops and stuff, this image could be the best if all of them problems get resolved, or am i looking in the wrong parts for these problems, the pic quality is good though, i am not sure if to keep or reflash. the little black bar at the bottom is very annoying,

Can you post a screen shot of the black bar at the bottom?! Not seen one and not sure what you mean by it...
As for the problem with cam info, read my reply in your other post... You need to view the second info bar (as shown by the screenshots in the first post, it is available, just not working with ecm time as no oe1.6 images do properly!)...

For the EPG have you enabled your sources and performed a EPG download?
I want to use my backup settings but i cant se a menu to put them in?

@pete63 - i assume you mean the Enigma2 settings? If so ...just use dbedit or dreamset to FTP the settings over to the box.

As stated many times in the thread, use dreamboxedit or dreamset :)

i have tried to take a photo with a high res camara and it doesnt show up on the pic i took, it happens on a couple of channels, history hd uk, and a few others, and for av settings i have it like this,
vid output, dvi
mode 720p
refresh rate 50hz
display 4.3 just scale
display 16:9 just scale
dolby digital default, no
dolby dig downmix, yes
general dolby delay 0
general pcm delay 0
osd vis, full up
scaler sharpness, half way up
right epg i have enabled, gone to ryteck uk, and pressed ok, then saved, gone and pressed the tv button, nothing showing up, dont knowe what to do now with epg m8,
cccam info i have solved it, i pressed ok twice, but wanted it so i could just press once, but tried to change it but diddnt work, it is epg now that is my main problem and the black bar, it is not visible at the moment, as i am watching mtvnhd
,
To bad that the menu for autoresolution isnt there 576i no hit to look at as it upscaled to1080i, but very nice image everything works as a charm after installation

When you have done this you must tell it to "manually update" the EPG or else it will wait until the time you put in the menys for the update to take place.
Just choose "manual update" and you will see that the EPG will be there.

You can install autoresolution from the plugins feed ;)
One more thing all my channels on VIASAT are gray in channels list but the EPG for VIASAT works, first time this happend to me?
I use for now Catseye E2 Settings File 75 East-58 West 05.09.2010, has it some thing to do with the XML file for sattelites?
Is so for both VIASAT and Canal+ and all nordic channels and packages.
Its fixed now have to make 3 restarts so now is working
Tried restarting box. Have checked in etc folder win dc209 no ccam.cfg

There must have been an issue with you tuner settings / satellites.xml file.
