View Full Version : [ViX_Misc] It seem's most of you, have missed the thread.....
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.

where can i read about the changes in build 760 and the video selection mode?

Hi andy, carried out back up of box. downloaded 760 on to flash drive. Powered off unit and instal usb stick. powered on (update) shown Pressed power button and update started, minute later screen reads (checking usb) Has been on this for twenty minutes ?

Once the box has updated you need to remove the usb stick and reboot the box, should load up fine after that
Switch off box Removed stick Powered up but still running 753. Download 761 and same thing has happened Will try a different stick.. Have format to fat 32 and ejected correctly from laptop

Why not download the image via the image manager and flash from there? No hassle with sticks and even much faster.
sorry to butt in but where is the image manager .... i have always had to flash from a stick and dont find it reliable
again sorry to butt in
thanks

thanks for that Rob. Works a treat

Thanks Rob, Thats a much better and like you say much quicker way to do it. Perfect
Thanks
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.

Those crash logs would have been very valuable to us as a way to discover exactly why it was not working for you.
Sorry I'm pretty new at this and I did not know how to save them or where to get them.
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.

Once version 760 or above flashed, you can update online without issues

I think ALL picons must now be located in the default location (i.e. /picon no subfolders).
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!

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).

Is the internet connection for your box working?
Check e.g. if you can download plugins.
Yes internet connection is working. Is it because the build i'm on is so old?
I think ALL picons must now be located in the default location (i.e. /picon no subfolders).
this seems a little strange to me as the xpicons in the tv bouquets show up fine just not at the bottom info bar as normal?
i will try copying the folder from /media/hdd/XPicons/picon to /media/hdd/picon if i understand you correctly?

What you can do is download the image from the normal location and FTP it to media/HDD (or USB)/imagebackup

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

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?
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:
foz
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
i will try downloading them through the image so i can update them in future and save space with symlinks
thanks you guys

just looking into it at the moment, as i am off work today
ive updated this morning 762-763 online but still the same, i may just flash the latest 763 on and set up from fresh unless there is any reason i can not do a manual scan at the moment??

Build 760 was rewritten from ground up (video) so a fresh install was needed. when you've installed a fresh copy be it 760 or 764, from here onwards online updates are ok. :D
Sorry - maybe a stupid question.. This is posted under [VU+ Misc] - so I am not sure if this is also needed for my gigablue quad ?
Thanks for great support!

Man you guys have been busy and respect to all of you for your hard work as always. My question is can I copy my timer file and put it back on once ive flashed the new image or am I best setting recordings again?, I have noticed some timers were recording the wrong programs or sometimes not at all.

best to shutdown E2 first before you restore them, shouldn't cause any problems though.
After USB-flashing with the 760 release things worked fine. For a while.

need logs to help you. else try a newer build. iild 769 is currently building try that when online.
I have copied the same files on one of mine since ViX 2.1 with no problems, but it wont hurt any thing to start from fresh either.
I have copied my old timer list over but my previous recordings are not showing also isn't there suppose to be icons on the epg to say what is set to record and what is an auto timer because mine doesn't show any icons?

The timer icons will only show for timers made with the new autotimers feature in the later image, some timers may not show until the next poll of the EPG.
Ok so i think the best thing to do is delete the timer list end start again.

if your using 699 that is a very old image, try reflashing to build 770 and see how that goes ( make a full set of backups first ).
Hello all,
How long should a reflash take please?
Mine has been saying reflash in progress for about 30 minutes now . . . .

Hi guys, i was playing with the A/V settings for ages and couldn't fix the issue... i did online update, as i always do! Glad i saw this thread and done usb update plus settings restore, what could be done for the future references, a wee reminder on the online update with a message to update with USB instead of doing online update, I am pretty sure a lot of users here just click update on the box once green led flashing lol,
hi guys
well finished night shift and put 770 image on memory stick and re-flashed, all seems to be working fine thank you for all your input and help, can i ask how do i put my user name and email address in the crash log i can see where i should put it in bu i can only type numbers.
thanks again

o and just for your info it crashed when i pushed the tv button bottom left and then you have all the sections such as films sport, as soon as i went to select a category it crashed but all ok now
I tried reflashing 760 using stick and got a boot loop at restart, so went back to an image I found solid...720. I am going to try again but want to know.....will I have to reprogram my timers as my wife is timer daft. 15 on my Venton and 29 on the Duo. Is there a way to back up the timers and re-install on new image. If so...how ? I really don't tend to dabble. Leave well alone is my motto !!!!!!
yes, kill enigma with a telnet session and the command init 4 then FTP into etc/enigma2 and copy the timers.xml and autotimers.xml files.

Thanks for your reply Pheonix. However i am afraid your suggestion s are way over my head !!!
Can I just keep the image I have as I don't want to erase 44 of her timers.....(much aggro)
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.

Hi Pheonix,
When I select backup manager do I select new backup ?
yes that will create the backup.
yes that will create the backup.
I would be as well to try 770 as that is latest ?
Updated to 770 and restored timers. Did the Venton first and will do the Duo this afternoon. Many thanks Pheonix. Mrs. would not be pleased if I had lost her timers. Thank goodness for alcohol !!!!

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
kinda annoying when we dunno when to update online.
Thats the whole reason this thread and the one it's referencing were created.
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?
Have Ultimo on Vix 750 upgrading to 770 via the image manager how long should it take as it seems to have got stuck on updating. Tried updating via usb sticks and after the spinning vix it switch off instead of telling me to take out usb stick and rebbot. :confused:
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.

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.

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 :)
Same here Tuneboy2005 nobody seems to know how to fix it.

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.
Have tried flashing build 770 all day and like other people on here gets stuck on flashing.
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?
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.
Nothing in the logs.
do you have debug logs activated ?, not crash logs.
Yes with user name and email but no logs recorded.
Yes with user name and email but no logs recorded.
have you rebooted the receiver since activating the debugging feature ?.
Yes has been rebooted 6 times today.

Updated 3 Duo boxes 2 by image manager and one by usb no problems, it's just my ULtimo that won't update.
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. : ((
Anybody having trouble updating there ULtimo box to build 770, by using a usb stick or image manager?

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

thanks for the info
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

All ViX images for all supported receivers are available directly from www.openvix.co.uk.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks.
So I got 783 then. No point in going back to 760.

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