won't record programs

[bigyin43]

when i try to record a programusing timers etc on openvix,
i keep getting sorry your software has crashed.

send logfile/tmp/enigma2_crash.log to world of satellite.
I am new to this technology, can anyone help ?

Hi mate, not sure if you have sorted this problem. But i had the same , and most of the plug-ins did the same thing. Just download latest image for your machine and install it. This solved my problems and everything works fine now :)

As above, try a fresh flash. You can find the image and various tutorials to help via www.openvix.co.uk

tried the latest flash , which it appeared to read and program , but stops at the starting.... screen on reboot ?

how do i load a new bootloader image please ?

[bigyin43]

how long should it take to restart after the box has been reflashed ?

[Larry-G]

which receiver and are you sure its not a clone ?.

[bigyin43]

its a vu+duo receiver , and suddenly stopped recording , giving the messgae abovee. i have tried reflashing , using the latest openvix. as shown in your reflashing PDF. the box recoerded and programmed as it used the usb , but when i remove the usb and reboot, it just says starting .... and stops there, according to your PDF it may need a new bootloader, but i have downloaded that , added it to the program files and reflashed with the usb , but still no joy on the start up ,

[Larry-G]

are you sure it is not a clone ?.

[bigyin43]

Where did you buy the box & how much for? might give us an idea.
Does a 7xx build flash & work ok?
Does it have any stickers on the box?

[bigyin43]

Was given the box' so don,t know. It has got manual with it.

It has been working ok, justwas a recording software crash,
What is a 7xx flash, where do I find it ?

[judge]

Try one of the 700+ builds on http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Vu%2BDuo/ & let us know if that flashs.

[bigyin43]

Will try that later' and get back to you' thanks for help so far

[bigyin43]

sticker on box states your smart LINUX TV Player
BN 08109001
serial MSA5200198

just tried 3.0.765

[bigyin43]

says reading USB then Programming, then finished remove usb and reboot.

but then sticks on starting :-(

same with 3.0.766 :confused:

[Andy_Hazza]

Did build 3.0.765 work?

[Andy_Hazza]

Try an earlier build prior 3.0.760

[Andy_Hazza]

Go into the archive folder n try 7.0.753

[bigyin43]

where do i find the archive please ?

found them ,

gonna try that ,
did sticker info help ?

[Andy_Hazza]

Do you have an hard drive in the Duo?

[bigyin43]

just tried 3.0.753 still says starting :(

[bigyin43]

yes 500 gb i believe

[bigyin43]

Do you have an hard drive in the Duo?

yes 500Gb does that make a difference , anything else to try please

[Andy_Hazza]

Can you please unscrew your casing and inside the Vu+ Duo pull out the sata cable from your hard drive. Turn the box off when you do this. When done that try reflashing again with build 3.0.753 please.

[Andy_Hazza]

You can leave the casing off while you reflash without hdd attached, I just want to narrow things down for you.

[bigyin43]

just trying that, at least casing not too difficult to remove

still stuck at starting

it says on top of case to use only vu+duo software, but it was working with openvix before, just stopped recording , and crashing the software

[Andy_Hazza]

hhmmmmm. Usually by un attaching the hard drive and reflashing would point to a possible clone box. On the back of the receiver you don't have a sticker saying 2.0 or 3.0?

[Andy_Hazza]

Are you reflashing using the front usb port and with no other usb's attached in the rear ports. Can you confirm?

[bigyin43]

v 3.2 on sticker

just using front usb, is it worth trying a rear one ?

shall i reattach hard drive, and replase casing ?

[Andy_Hazza]

Unfortunately the sticker says its a clone box. This forum won't offer support on clones. A friend of mine gave me a cloned Duo box to update the software which he was un aware of and I wasn't aware until further investigation and using a cloned version software got the box running again. If you PM me I will try and point you in the right direction, as no support will be given here, even though it's through no fault of yours.

[Andy_Hazza]

Any joy with sorting your Duo?

[bigyin43]

booted up, but now i got to try to find plug ins , scan channels etc.. but i got it started :-)

thanks

any more help appreciated

[Andy_Hazza]

Use the in built channel maker. Go to Menu, Setup, Service Searching, ABM (AutoBouquetsMaker). Once setup correctly then setup to scan daily at say 04:00am, Then setup the crossEPG to scan say at 04:10am.
