so i posting it again here.

PLEASE READ IT


Important Announcement.

'From build 760 onwards the video-mode selection has been completely overhauled. It is no longer merely a plugin, but has been embedded as an integral part of the image.

It is now necessary to reflash your receiver, a online update will cause issues. Before flashing you can use the BackupManager to make a settings- and plugin backup. If done, you can flash in the usual way and during the First Install Wizard you can use the restore function to restore your backup. This way your box will be up & running in a couple of minutes.

Once the image is up and running, you should go to Menu> Setup> AV-settings, and make the settings in accordance with your setup.'

Cheers Andy,
I always do a fresh reflash without backup as it doesn't take me long to put everything back in manually.
Right! so the answer is clear and final, All i needed
Best wishes

Hi Andy, after a new reflash will online updates be standard going forwards?

Hi Andy, after a new reflash will online updates be standard going forwards?

yes, it's just that the update in 760 is so complicated it needs to be a full flash to eliminate a lot of problems that would otherwise come from online updating.

should this help my issue with my receiver not switching on at times?

Once the box has updated you need to remove the usb stick and reboot the box, should load up fine after that

Why not download the image via the image manager and flash from there? No hassle with sticks and even much faster.

Not as easy for me on Technomate 2T OE. System wouldn't recognise usb disk when trying to do backup, tried several, all formatted to 32 but still no good. I kept getting dreaded crash message that system is going to reboot. Finally had to install new image and I am in the process now. Strangely the usb disk is recognised this time.

ok did the system flash and have eventually got it installed. I had a problem when doing automatic setup. I got as far as scanning for channels which the onscreen info said completed with 900 channels found. However nothing happened and after a while i presse ok and it went back to wizard again and repeated process. When I got as far as channel scan completed I then press exit I then rebooted. The system was updated.

While going through setup/fan setup I noticed Fan1 PWM was halfway, the Standby fan1 PWM was nothing then underneath Board 59c Fan1 0 rpm. Is this right?

Another question as Andyblac said "It is now necessary to reflash your receiver, a online update will cause issues" Does this mean we have to flash like this always as online update isn't safe? Then why have online update?

Thanks a bunch for all the hard work.

Hi guys, new to the Vix scene on my Duo having previously used a different image. Im currently using a backup image of Vix 3.0 - 521 and have the settings how I want it. To clarify, If I use Backupmanager, It will store my settings and plugins including channel lists, epg etc?

And then if I do a fresh reflash and use restore wizard it will put all these settings and plugins back the way I had it before?

Sorry for the obvious questions, but just want to make sure Ive got it right before I flash!

Rob van der Does
22-10-13, 21:04
Yes: make a settings backup in BackUpManager.
Then go to ImageManager: --> download image (latest available), return to ImMan , select the just downloaded image and click on 'OK'to flash it.
After the reboot, during the First Install Wizard you can restore those settings (and plugins).

Yes, you do.
Only HDD is not a good location for picons: flash is better. But technically it will work.

Tkr001
22-10-13, 21:46
no you only have to reflash to go from pre 760 to 760 or beyond and only once ie if you flash to 760 you can then online update to 762 etc. As Andy has said these reflashes are needed periodically when updates are complex.

As others have also pointed out flashing via USB is not needed, the inbuilt Image Manager is much easier and quicker. (just do a settings backup first)

they are 29mb in size is flash a good place for them?
why is hdd a bad place? i was led to beleive it reads picons at boot not reading them all the time?
thanks

Rob van der Does
22-10-13, 21:56
On every zap E2 looks for a picon; if the HDD is asleep, the zap will be slowed for several seconds and spinners will show.

A good picon-set contains a small number of png-files, and a lot of symlinks (reason a FAT-device is not suitable): 28MB sugeests it's not a good set. Download an Ocram-set to have a look how that looks like.
But anyway: most STB's have plenty of flash nowadays. And as you paid for it: why not use it?

foz
22-10-13, 22:54
i had downloaded http://ocram.github.io/picons/downloads.html the shd version
so i am better off putting them where in usr/share/enigma2/picon/ ?
thanks again for your help :thumbsup:
funny i used to always put them on a mounted usb flash drive but was told they only got read at boot up only!! :confused:

22-10-13, 23:01
Its the EPG that gets read on startup, not picons.
So, HDD or USB is best place for EPG.
Flash or USB is best for picons.
You can store them on the root of either device in a folder called /picon

foz
22-10-13, 23:18
i will try downloading them through the image so i can update them in future and save space with symlinks

Larry-G
29-10-13, 10:29
yes if you want to park the image on that build thats fine but you wont be able to update again without reflashing the receiver.

another way to back up timers is to create a settings backup via the backup manager, then restore that after reflashing the receiver when asked in the first instal wizard.

Maybe because you are on an older build, try to flash like 760 and then get the latest one, right one the latest one is build 772, i am still on 770, kinda annoying when we dunno when to update online and when by usb, skronk- also do a image backup- click image backup and then green for new backup, go back and click backup manager and then green for new backup, use a program like filezilla( i am using it all the times) and ftp these backups to your pc, they are under /hdd backup, and image backup, just transfer them over just in case, if something goes wrong you can always reflash the whole image with your settings, and when you flash new build from usb just choose to restore settings in wizard, sorry for the long post lol

Good Morning All,

My VU+ Uno got stuck on "Reflash in Progress" for the night, it was still there in the morning.

I turned it all off and on again, I have tried to reflash from a USB but the "Reading from USB" is not kicking in for some reason. I had this problem when an external hard drive was installed, when I disconnected the hard drive the reading from USB kicked in okay. Now I have an internal drive installed so don't want to disconnect that to reflash from the USB.

I have tried to flash older images to work forward to the latest image but the Uno gets stuck in the "Reflash in Progress".

Any advice, help or suggestions please? Would doing a factory reset be the answer?

A suggestion for the future: Maybe you can state whether a reflash is needed (as opposed to an online update) for big changes in the changelog? I always see what has been changed before I do the online update. Might be helpful for those that read them.

Also just incase anyone is wondering I'm not talking about the changelogs that are released on the forum, but the notes that can be read directly on the VIX image when viewing the available updates through a software update.

Does anyone know why i can't update to 770 from 750?

I know all the Admin must be really busy with all these changes and the amount of help and assistance required is probably more than normal.

Can anyone advise me with my problem please? I used to do the software updates every couple of days so I presume the images were up to date . . . . why can't I reflash? The box keeps getting stuck at reflash in progress.

I am now getting "not supported mode" when viewing the TV and I have to turn it off at the mains to restart. It will then work okay for a while then I'll get not supported mode again.

Thank you

Same here, when i wanna update through the updatemanager. The flashings starts according to my screen and on my LCD display i see "Reboot 99" and it stays on that forever. When i restart the box i am at the same image as previous so no update has been done. Flashing with USB stick works very well but a bit more hassle :)

you must flash your receiver to a minimum of build 760 via USB if the USB method is not working try via the inbuilt image manager in the image it self.

well i flashed 5 different receivers today with build 770 and all went fine, via both USB and the image manager.

It's not just me other members are having the same problem,updating by USB stick goes through the updating then switches of instead of saying remove USB stick and reboot,when using update manager to flash box it just freezes.

I didn't say update manager, i said you could not use online updates from builds earlier than 760. Try via the image manager with the restore option ( blue button> ViX> image manager ), if this fails we need the corresponding debug logs or ideally rs232 serial putty logs.

Build 770 is not earlier than 760 have tried via the image manager and usb stick, now wondering if something is wrong with my Ultimo box?

29-10-13, 21:26
my ultimo is currently recording so i cant test the online update feature but i have used it to update several TM and Vu+ boxes from build 770 to 772 today just fine.

again we would really need to see debug logs from the failed updates in order to see whats going on.

Blu-ray
29-10-13, 21:26
Nothing in the logs.

I am able to flash with USB but problem is I can't watch standard channels. There is message on tv that "mode is not supported". HD channels work fine. Can anyone please tell how to sort this out?
I have tried all AV settings but no use...
Thanks

A suggestion for the future: Maybe you can state whether a reflash is needed (as opposed to an online update) for big changes in the changelog?That is created automatically. It is the comments that accompany code being submitted to Github.

Try downloading the Ultimo image again, maybe your first download was corrupted.

Have tried 760/766/770 all with different usb sticks, and the image manager, image manager hangs, usb stick message reboot 99 like other members are getting then spinning Vix then switches off instead of saying remove usb and reboot.

I have looked back at this thread and followed all the advice given. I have tried flashing (not personally!) from the image manager and from a USB but no luck.

The flash from the image manager just freezes. The USB flash won't work. I have tried different USB drives and different images.

Like the poster above, I get "Not supported mode".

I have had to change the video mode to HDMI, could that be causing the problem? It is happening on bbc3, bbc4 and other channels. Just checked the other channels, it seems to be the SD channels.

It won't flash and now the SD channels are messed up. : ((

Certainly did miss the thread.

I've been updating but always needing to revert to Build 765 backup, being the last one that displayed menus etc when on 4:3 programme correctly.

Thanks for the repeat.

so i posting it again here.

PLEASE READ IT


Important Announcement.

'From build 760 onwards the video-mode selection has been completely overhauled. It is no longer merely a plugin, but has been embedded as an integral part of the image.

It is now necessary to reflash your receiver, a online update will cause issues. Before flashing you can use the BackupManager to make a settings- and plugin backup. If done, you can flash in the usual way and during the First Install Wizard you can use the restore function to restore your backup. This way your box will be up & running in a couple of minutes.

Once the image is up and running, you should go to Menu> Setup> AV-settings, and make the settings in accordance with your setup.'

thanks for this

I have not had precises issue but for the sake of safety I will reflash. Unfortunately the only image for the GB QUAD is quite old (and therefore prior to 760) so not sure it s of any use to reflash with an old image :p

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?22539-New-Gigablue-Quad-ViX-OE3-0-Release from http://www.world-of-satellite.com/forumdisplay.php?362-GiGaBlue-QUAD-ViX-Team-images

Therefore I assume I have to go with a beta image?

Thanks

I have missed this whole thing, so I am not sure what issues I am having with my Duo2 after the online update.
However I just noticed that I cannot connect NTFS formatted drives or flash sticks to USB, only FAT32 are detected.
I don't know if before 760 it was any differnt though.
Other than that I have no (or haven't noticed yet any) problems.

parkher
14-11-13, 00:19
Hm, I can find for downloading only 701 for Vu+ Duo2, so where is the newest one, or at least > 760?
My current build is 786. But I went through 760 using updates, not aware about this issue.

BTW, the NTFS issue fixed, not related, a plugin was required.

14-11-13, 00:26
Latest ViX images for all boxes are available on http://www.openvix.co.uk/
783 is currently the latest build available on there, an online update to 786 can safely be done from that till it's added to the relase folder.

parkher
14-11-13, 00:33

So I got 783 then. No point in going back to 760.

Just install the NTFS-driver (available from the feeds).

parkher
14-11-13, 08:18
yes, thanks, I did: ntfs-3g. The problem fixed.

I really did not notice anything wrong with any builds, going through 760 by update.
Interesting if there are some known issues common to everybody so I could test if I have them.
