Crashing when recording

[markh29]

Hi, I bought a vu duo 2 weeks ago and was sent pre flashed with vix by wos

Setup with 1tb hard drive and was working fine, suddenly it crashes everytime it tries to record a programmed programme
There is a crash log which I have no idea of how to get on here, the box is installed at a friends so I cant access it at moment

Any help.appreciated

To upload a crashlog, hit the go advanced button below the post area.
Looks like your flash is full.
Whether that's because it's recording to flash or something else is corrupt, is impossible to tell from here...
Do you have telnet access to the box?
Is the hard drive mounted? Blue button -> ViX -> Mount Manager.

Hi

I thought id seen that on the picture of his screen he sent, I don't have telnet access unfortunately, I will ask him to look if the hdd is mounted, I cant remember if I done that, I know I used the box to format and initialise the HDD and that was successful

If the HDD is not mounted, will mounting it resolve the issue?

Not if the flash is full. You'll need to resolve that issue first.

Ahh ok, how can I check if it is or not, and if so, what do I do to erase/rectify?

Many thanks

Right, i think im going to just start again, is build 802 stable? or is there a safer option, i cant afford to keep having to go and collect this box to sort it out if i can help it

Is the process for the hdd just, initialise and mount or is there anything else i need to check to make sure the flash isnt getting used for storage by anything?

cheers

Yeah, perfectly safe to start again & use build 802, you could even create a settings back-up & restore it after flashing 802.
As you already initialised the HDD you shoudn't need to do it again, but again will do no harm (you will lose any recordings though).
When you set-up the EPG, just make sure it saves to the HDD & not internal flash.

Thanks alot, how do I check epg location? I dont recall setting it up in the first place, maybe thats the problem

Sorry also meant to ask how to back up settings only?

Cheers

[judge]

EPG location: Menu -> Setup -> System -> EPG -> Settings -> EPG Location
Back-up Settings: Blue button -> ViX -> Backup Manager -> green button

Thanks Judge, I think ive got that now so im going to go over to his place and try it later, have I missed anything out from what im planning on doing

Reflash image
Set Tuners
Add Auto Bouquets
Format/Initialise HDD
Cam
Check Rec Paths
EPG Set up (including rec path)

Is Setanta Ireland on Auto Bouquets? I couldn't find it last time so installed a channel list
