Hi folks,
new to the forums here, and new to satellite in general... I've been tinkering with my box a bit and I have a few questions that have come up, maybe someone can help out?
I apologise in advance if these questions are answered elsewhere, I have browsed many forums looking for answers, but nothing definitive, hence why I'm putting myself over the top...
Box is:
Vu+Solo2
OpenVix Image [3.0.649]
Magic-HD-Night Skin
Custom bootlogo.mvi
DreamPlex
Attempted to install OnDemand plugin but failed
4gb usb stick in rear
120gb HD internal
There is a crash log attached also.
Hope this is helpful info to start... on to my queries...
1) I wanted to use the internal HDD for time shift, epg etc... however it will not enable timeshift, saying there's a timeshift "permanent hardlink error, please ensure drive is ext2 or ext3 formatted". I have formatted the drive using gparted to ext2 [and tried ext3], but the mount insists it is ext4 and won't let me do time shift, it's very frustrating. The flip side is that I have put a USB stick in for time shift and epg, but how can I eliminate this and make the whole thing operate from the internal HDD. I have tried initialising from within the box, and also booting the system and then mounting the drive after it's up and running, but no joy at all.
2) Is there a better/simpler series record plugin than the auto timers? Is this something that could be developed to bring it more in line with commercial set top boxes?
3) Each time I try and download plugins ["Plugins">>> green button [download]] the box crashes, log attached, any ideas what may be causing this?
4) Is there a recordings browser plugin, that creates a custom interface for accessing recordings?
5) Is there any way of using NFS shares with a specific user/login as per a lot of NAS drives? I managed to get it working on my Synology DS412+, but it's not ideal, as I'd prefer the recording account to be limited by a quota on the NAS [ps this was a ballache to get working]
I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes by, sorry for the mass posting, hopefully someone can help out.
Kind regards,
Nick
