I have updated my box yesterday after a while to 589 and noticed that the red button is not working, when pressing there is a TV showing on a right top corner but nothing (black) on left hand side. On previous image when watching a channel and pressing a red button I would see a listing for that channel bur as I said that does not work now, I even reinstalled the image but the issue remains. Any help appreciated.

Just to clarify that single epg is not working for me when pressing a red button and also when changing from multi to single epg on infobar epg settings.

Tyler
01-02-13, 15:26
Used to press red button and had 7 day listings.
Since I download latest update I have nothing showing when I press the red button.
I have program listings with yellow button but only same program on multi listings.
How can I get multi program's lists back on red button.?
I also would like to know how to fix this

please, when reporting issues, also include the build number.

Rob van der Does
02-02-13, 06:51
Build 596 is 'the latest' image online, so I suggest you do an online update.
If the problem is still there:
1- do you have MQB installed? If so, please de-install it.
2- Or any other plugin? Please tell us which ones.
3- Reflash and don't restore any settings or plugins. Check the problem has gone now. Then restore settings (only settings) and check if the problem is still absent. Then restore plugins and check again.

i have the same problem with the vu+ solo2 for the last few red(unstable) updates.

Last time i updated to an unstable update was 2 days ago not sure what build, but red button doesnt work for me either, i get a blank epg screen.

When i scroll to a channel and hit the epg button on the remote the 7 day appears normally, but while tuned to a channel and i press the red button, nothing!

Nothing works for me, I tried everything, installed 589 and did not restore settings, tried again and restored settings, I than did the same with 596 but no changes. I did not install any plugins myself but some plugins are there by default when you flash new image, and by the way I am using Vix Night HD skin, tried two three other skins also. Glad to hear that Tyler resolved his issue though.

I already did that Tyler, but are you saying to do a factory reset after reloading the image or before? Thanks

Sorry was putting child to bed.
Just load the image don't use the back up or restore.
If you do it will not work.
Load sattlite and softcams etc.
Do not do an online update or you will continue to have the same problem.
Try this as it worked for me.

Ah, as your screenie clearly shows: the 'red button' works perfect! It brings up your channel list as it's supposed to do.

And now at last we see the real problem: you have no EPG-data for that channel. So it would have been a good question to ask why that's the case instead of suggesting that the red button doesn't work :confused:

Do you have EIT-EPG enabled?

sale22
03-02-13, 12:36

Because single epg was not working when pressing a red button on 587, 589, 596, so I thought I try an old image and that did the trick. I can see there is new version 600 available so I may try that.

Sorry to say, but that's no way to address an issue.
What did you try to get EPG showing up?
Use Rytec?
Use Cross?
See in other EPG's (such as graphical) if any EPG shows up?
Check the size and date of epg.dat?
Anything else I forget to ask?

The problem is that there are no debug logs mate as there are no crashes or anything like that, if you simply want to see a single epg for a channel you watching by pressing a red button all you see is black screen with box on to right corner showing that channel. 23322

ok let me clear this up for you.

init 4 puts enigma to sleep, this is a required step when dealing with live files such as the EPG.dat otherwise they will be regenerated with their previous faults intact. once you have put enigma to sleep and carried out the work you needed to do, you need to reawaken enigma, this is done with the init 3 command which will trigger a Enigma restart.


so to recap

init 4

delete the EPG.dat file.

init 3

when the box reboots re-download the EPG as normal.

unfortunately crashlogs are not really my strong point ( they may as well be in Greek for all the sense they make to me ).

Exactly how have you setup the EPG for example i have never used Rytek so i have no idea what options are available when setting this EPG source up. also what if any plugins have you installed as they could be having a impact on things.

It does not really matter if you think it unimportant but we need details as there are frankly a unlimited amount of setup options on the Enigma2 platform and we would need to be able to set our systems up to mirror yours so that we can try to replicate your results.

I do not get epg when I press the red button.
If I revert back to the old image as sale22 says it solves the problem.

I also reverted back as I have tried to fix it without any luck.
There is a problem but I can't find a solution and just gave up as it was taking to much time.


Just tried with those 2 sources here & no problems with red button on build 600.
Not sure if both are needed though, 71868 events imported...
Rytec UK XMLTV should be enough as far as I'm aware, 71675 events.
Rytec UK BBCiXMLTV on its own = 193 events.

The unexplainable thing is, that apparently G-EPG shows the data, and single-EPG not.

Add me to the list ,
I came home from holiday and updated to 600 epg is fine on multi channels ,but on the single epg for any channel nothing but black empty screen withjust the preview window .tried alsorts of configs but no joy ,reverted to flash back to the earlier build and all was well everything works fine, so online upgrade again to latest build and same problem,I tried all day yesterday and left it alone to seek advice .
other thing with me is that after updating to 600 the green blinking light is still there after the upgrade although no update is available when selected .
I am going to have another go from a factory reset when I get in from work hopefully we can sort it between us

after further experiments it is all ok on earlier build on both global and single channel epg ,upgrade to build 600 and that is also all ok but only with the default channel list/setting ,
the problem manifests when a channel settings list is put in ,no matter which cats eye ,vhannibil ,or who ever , take the channel list out and single epg is back again.

seems like multi sat channel lists are preventing the single epg function from working on my box with build 600 ?

Double checked and mine is fine on early build with what ever channel list I load ,but on upgrade to 600 I loose the single channel epg after loading a channel list !

factory re set is now not working it boots back up the same as before ?

its going from bad to worse

I am going to re flash early build from usb again and and get it running as the wife likes it(hopefully) then off to pub to chill ,I will try again over the weekend

Hi,
have you tried EPG WITHOUT loading a channel list? When you do not loose anything then the problem might be your channel list.

Hi,
perhaps the drivers were changed and your channel list does not completely work with these driver. Have you tried a channel scan after you applied your list?

I can also say that I have the same problem with single EPG on RED button.
STB is VU+ DUO. Flash from USB openvix-3.0.600-vuduo_usb.zip version. Setup HDMI, NET, one LNB and single SAT. Manual scan with network scan on. No restore or download something. EPG.DAT in FLASH by default. No other changes made in setup. While press EPG button Graphical EPG working. Then when long press the same (EPG) key the single EPG is working.
If I press DOWN key (in viewing mode) and then EPG button - the single EPG is Working!!!
But if I press RED button from viewing mode the same single EPG screen is blank, like other people describe here. No even channel name on top... And YES - older firmware working fine.
When press RED button the Single EPG don't receive the channel info, I think. No channel info - no EPG. :) Screenshots is the same for me.
Maybe this info can help us find the way...

EPG.DAT in FLASH by default.

EPG on flash on the DUO isn't the best of ideas.

I have now sorted the issue out on my box .
I went into every folder and searched for anything that had anything to do with back up or epg data and then deleted it ,I then ractory re set the box ,
I re installed the early image and updated it straight away , I installed a full motor settings list and re booted ,
then I set up cross epg ,and cool epg , rebooted again ,
now single epg is listed on red button press .

CoolEPG is not exactly compatible with the ViX image. That in it self could have caused the problems.

Hello Rob,

That is absolutely not the case here,

ViX has a very highly customized EPG built directly into the image, installing any Thirdparty EPG onto the image overwrites many of the files already in place and that causes problems. plus it has always been the case the CoolEPG is not compatible with the ViX image and the author knows this but for reasons that i wont go into again will not make his work ViX compatible.

To say that we are against Thirdparty plugins is not only false but legally Defamatory.

unfortunately many plugin creators have no interest in working with us or adapting their works for our image, so we build or own and where possible adapt existing plugins to work with our image ( where licencing allows ).

We tend to get a lot of flack from people as they believe we only create plugins to work on ViX but that is far from the truth, all of our works are publicly accessible via a Public GIT for any and all to use and adapt to their needs.

Oh dear I seem to have started a flurry of discontent .I am sorry I didnt mean to offend anyone ,I am truley happy with the vix image i did transfer from black hole as it ran without green screens , I am just a novice compared to most of you lot .its just that I had this issue and wanted to sort it .
just for the record previously the red button would not show single epg on the latest vix with or without the cool epg .
so I believe it was more to do with the bits of data left from previous versions affecting the new
I will try and pay a little more attention as to what the vix image and development is all about ,and hopefully keep my nose clean

you have not offended any one or caused any form of discontent, i was just pointing out why sometimes introducing Thirdparty plugins into the image can cause problems.

ViX while based on Pli is a Highly modified and updated image, It has pretty much been rebuilt from the ground up and this can cause some older plugins not to work well with the image any more. we are always more than happy to work with plugin developers when the need arises to ensure that plugins remain compatible but thats not always going to be possible.

Decided to give OpenVIX 3.0 a try (have used OpenAAF1.0 for last year), and found this thread, as I am having similar problems to what OP reported. After reading all the posts in the thread, it looks like the issue still exists for some users, so I have done some tests with 2 different images and attached some debug logs to see if they can provide any further information.

Firstly must state that my stb is not a VU+ but a ClarkTrend ET9000, so if the mods feel it should be in a separate thread, feel free to move it.

Basically what I done was use the oldest and latest builds available on the download site ie: 545 and 632. Using each build I did a clean flash and configured as follows:-
- skipped settings restore and basic setup wizard
- configured n/w with static address
- configured tuner 1 with 7 lnbs and tuner 2 with 3 lnb (have T90 dish)
- configured EPG settings to use hdd and epg.dat file
- configured crossepg to download on tune, and download once a day
also updated providers and setup start order to be
rytec france xmltv (xepgdb repacked)
sky italia open tv
sky uk open tv
rytec germany/austria/swiss xepgdb repacked
- shutdown using deep standby, powered off, removed flash usb and inserted 8GB usb
- powered on and setup 32MB swap file on 8GB usb (probably not required!), and also configured timeshift location to write to 8GB usb
- switched off panic key (like using zero key for previous channel)
- downloaded my channel list using Dreamset
- checked to ensure that channels where being received
- checked that Single EPG was populated by pressing red button and also pressing Red button after pressing okay button
BLD545 - epg data displayed
BLD632 - empty screen
- checked that graphical epg was visible by pressing Guide button on rc
BLD545 - epg data displayed
BLD632 - epg data displayed
NOTE: my epg data already existed on the hdd from an earlier download
- went into logs setup and toggled debug logs on, and rebooted stb using restart menu option
- after restart, checked epg again
same results as above
- triggered a crossepg download and after completion, checked epg again
same results as above

These results are similar to what op encountered ie: pre build 600 seem to work. I also tried builds 589 and 627 but could not get Single EPG data to display.

I have attached the debug logs and also the channel list I used.

I build my channel list using Dreamset v2.36, and create a new channel list for the sats I use using the 'Internet Settings' option which gets its info from KingOfSat. For any channels I don't want to see I set the hide attribute, and I don't create any extra bouquets. I leave 'background scanning on' on the stb, and use Dreamset to read/edit/write back the channel list when new channels are found, or other things change.

Hope this info is of some use.

hello could you list all the officially supported team vix plugins & software please. Plus could someone please post some screen shots of all the settings for a fully working vu+duo setup & what is the max number of days the epg can download in advance as some of my channels only have the next program listed.

Ho yes & when I get the 2nd info bar (telling me what the program is about) on top of the first channel info bar I can no longer scroll down to the next program info any help would be much appreciated :confused:

Generally all the plugins in the image feeds should be fine but if you find otherwise please let us know as for the EPG mine is updated every morning and always displays the full 7 days.

I had this blank single EPG problem too. I was twiddling little a bit the source code and got the single EPG working.

I changed the second last line of EpgSelection.py from

EPGSelection.__init__(self, session, service, EPGtype)
to

EPGSelection.__init__(self, session, service, EPGtype=EPGtype)

It seems that EPGtype parameter was passed as 4th variable which isn't right.
I can only c++ and I'm guite a unfamiliar with Python. So, maybe some real developer from VIX team could check this?

that code does not effect EPG opened via RED button, it only effect the epg screen opened within ChannelList (pressing PEG button when channel list is open)

OK, I see. I don't use red button for opening EPG. But I had single EPG blank when long pressing EPG button on graphical EPG, and this fixes that. So, should that change be applied anyway?
