Box crashes when streaming.

[bokkie]

Hi all, Since updating to latest build, think it's 664, I can't stream within or outside of my network.
Everytime I do the box crashes and i get an error message saying unable to load channel on my vu+ player app.
I know that the answer will be to restore a backup, but is this a known error, and if so is a fix in the pipeline?
Thanks

I can confirm that I've just flashed a backup I had before the driver updates, etc. Think it was build 658, streaming now works perfect again.
Could it be the vu+ driver updates that we saw recently?

Ok so I had another go and tried flashing build 664. i did a full flash, restored setings but installed plugins from scratch.
Once again when i try stream the box crashes and I get an error on the vu+ player app.
Any ideas on this one. As soon as I flash an older build, pre kernal and driver update all is fine again.
I'll try attach the crash log.

Deleted crash log as it had some personal info. Will try upload one later

Could it be the vu+ driver updates that we saw recently?
We confirm the issue and we think it is down to drivers.
So if transcoding is important for you, I suggest to remain 'frozen' on an old build.

Could I just try sticking the old drivers back, leaving the build and setup as is?
Maybe that would work?

[Rob van der Does]

Nope, as the old drivers also require an old kernel.

Hi again. Is there any update on this issue? I don't think it is driver related as I tried blackhole 2.0.3, which uses the latest drivers, and transcoding works fine.
Thanks

Is there any update on this issue?
Nope: we are consulting VU+ about this.

[bokkie]

seems like it's been sorted. I updated to build 667 today and streaming now works again.
Thanks.

[Rob van der Does]

Yep, it should indeed be fixed in 667.
