Proudly introduces a brand new ViX image for all OpenViX supported receivers.
http://i.imgur.com/kQXseE7.png
OpenViX Zeus requires a full reflash. You cannot update from OpenViX 3.0 or use a settings backup from any image prior to OpenViX Zeus. We have coded it so that you can't use a backup from an earlier image as it will cause issues if you do.
So what is different in OpenViX Zeus then ?
The main difference is core of the image or the OE (Open Embedded); this has undergone a lot of changes, updates and fixes. As a user you should not notice any differences between OpenViX 3.0 and OpenViX Zeus. (i.e. there are no real functional differences. But as the last release is now over 3 months ago, several updates have been implemented).
Features
AutoBouquetsMaker ( ABM )
Allows you to setup and automate the process of creating and maintaining a region specific channel bouquets for Sky (UK), Freesat (UK) and Sky Ireland (plus some European providers)
VIX EPG (includes CrossEPG 0.7.4)
Quite simply, OpenViX offers the best EPG experience of any Enigma2 based image bar none !!

If you have a Technomate OE series receiver you will need to flash a new bootloader first before flashing Zeus to your receiver, once flashed you will no longer be able use a older ViX 3.0 series image unless you downgrade the bootloader, as always exorcise caution when flashing bootloader..

Hi
Like the new splash screen looks good on my samsung 3d
Why you dont put some screenshot,some short video...???
THANKS for ALL the hard work Been a long wait but worth it!

Could be because much is the same as vix 3.0 only splash is new and a few changes in the menu structure i noticed so far but colours look brighter too.
Nice one, haven't seen the new splash screen yet, but that blue one was horrible :-p
good job team, thanks for new release :)

To be honest, we tend to let the image speak for it self. you just cant encapsulated all the work that goes into the image in a few screen shots.
Give it a try and see if its the one for you.

Finally :D Will give this a try later on today. Hopefully transcoding now works?
So what's the story behind the name 'Zeus' then?
Excellent work to the team - Looking forward to the full reflash of mine, fathers, sisters, and several mates boxes :~\
Updated post one with links to the all NEW zeus images for the Xtrend ET-10x00, Xtrend ET-8x00, Gigablue HD-Quad PLUS, as well as the all new Zeus images for the Gigablue HD-800SE-PLUS, and the Gigablue HD-800UE-PLUS.
Is it a good idea adding the quad plus image if the box hasn't been released yet? It may get confused with the original quad and cause someone some heartache.
Thanks to all involved with the image for all the hours of hard work. Looking forward to trying this out over the weekend.
Where version of drivers are in?

providing users can read simple instructions the same as with the other gigablue HD Plus models, there should not be a problem.

depends on the receiver your using, each image contains the very latest version drivers available at the time the image was built.
To update this thread, Technomate TM-Twin-OE image has been temporarily removed due to bootloader issues, once fixed a new bootloader will be released and the image re-released.
I've also decided to remove the GB Quad-Plus image until we have sample units to pre-test the image.

Hi guys.
I've just reflashed to the new Zeus. It's painfully slow im afraid. I'm trying to change my settings and I've given up. It's shockingly slow at responding to button presses.

On which box?
Martincape
11-03-14, 19:44
Sorry pal, Solo2.
Rob van der Does
11-03-14, 19:46
Well, if there's one box I've been testing with the new image-series, it's the Solo2. Nothing slow about it, no way.
Do you use the original R/C? Any conflicting light's in the neighbourhood?
Martincape
11-03-14, 19:48
Yea original remote. It's mainly when I'm trying to change the service width in the graphicalepg settings. I press the button then I get the spinning Vix logo, then about 10 seconds later it changes.
Rob van der Does
11-03-14, 19:49
You setup services & EPG correctly (and from scratch)?
Martincape
11-03-14, 19:51
Yep. All done from scratch. Flashed new image. Then ran ABM, then CrossEPG (took a long time to load at the end), then installed MgCamd 1.35a, now changing settings.

Best open a support thread; this is a general release thread.
Few things I noticed:
1. When in Graphical EPG and with 'Channel preview mode' set to 'No', pressing exit will still revert back to the original channel instead of staying on the selected one.
2. Transcoding still doesn't work on the Solo2. Should it?
Regarding the post about remote responsiveness I haven't noticed any issues on the Solo2.

OpenViX Zeus build 002 is now available from www.openvix.co.uk and via the images inbuilt online update feature.
Full set of changelogs soon to follow for this and all subsequent updates.

First thanks to all the team for all your hard work.
Maybe a silly question so please forgive me, in the Gigablue SE image page: http://openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=GiGaBlue-HD800SE/
should i install the openvix-zeus.001 via memory stick and then update via the set top box to openvix-zeus.002
or should I just install openvix-zeus.002 via the memory stick?
Thanks
Either will suffice, if you already have build 001 on the receiver you can use the online update option, if you'r just getting around to flashing Zeus to the receiver, flash build 002 as it is a stand alone image in it's own rite.

You can install Zeus 002 from scratch as a fresh image.
Hello All,
Thanks for the hard work into the new image. I will install later on to my ET9000 - however, I know this may be a silly question, but not one that I am sure I know the answer to? Can I revert to my existing image build 808 if the new iamge by way of normal USB installation?
Thanks,
FP.
yes just do a full image backup of 808 before you flash Zeus
Hello, Just flashed zues 002, on a Duo, All working well.
Tried the openwebif "Enable Http Autentication", However on the old Openwebif the username was root, It does not work anymore. So the question is was is the new new username and or password please
Thanks

I've just installed Zeus 002 on my Solo2. I put an oscam bin in /usr/softcams and enabled it for autostart. All worked fine until I rebooted and then I got a bootloop.
This is the crash log

Any ideas?

No. They have tried to stream line the image and as a result have only included what is necessary. This is good as it allows the user to choose which plugins they want keeping the image free from what other users may consider bloat.

This only works if you have setup a password and if there is no password on the box (default) then you won't be able to access it via Openwebif using Http authentication. Since you have essentially used a fresh image without any of your old settings you will need to configure a new password. You can set a password using 'passwd' via Telnet.
Works fine in Zeus 2
Tried it in 002 but no change. I will try again tomorrow.
Thanks for the image and all the effort gone into it but is anyone else getting the following error on openvix downloads page?

See the post above yours, also please try to use a spellcheck.
Your post makes absolutely no sense.
Edit: see you corrected some spelling, thanks. Without grammar though, it's still pretty hard to read.
Isn't that just downloads for the image not for the soft cams
Arnt them just the downloads for the image and not for the soft cams
Went them just the downloads for the image and not for the soft cams
which cam do you need ?.
Went them just the downloads for the image and not for the soft cams
Again, makes absolutely no sense?
While the downloads server is down, you can use a direct link, which cam do you want to download?
Will try tomorrow not long finished work knackered .com
Thanks phenoix 2.2
I presume you mean CCcam 2.2 ?. In which case there isn't one one the server so here is 2.2.1

We provide exactly the same YouTube version as BH, but you have to install HbbTV for that (available via the feeds).
Be advised: BH only makes images for VU-hardware, not for other makes. And this HbbTV version is only available for VU-hardware.

I've just installed Zeus 002 on my Solo2. I put an oscam bin in /usr/softcams and enabled it for autostart. All worked fine until I rebooted and then I got a bootloop.
Please install one of the softcams we provide. I use enigma2-plugin-cams-oscam_1.20.r8625_mipsel.ipk and have not observed any issues.
Removing SoftcamManger.pyo means I can get the image to boot but then I lose all the VIX specific plugins.
Obviously removing system-files is not harmless.....
all well so far but the channel zapping is slower, with CH button and calling up channel list is slower as well. (gigablue quad)

Thanks for the work on the new image. Could someone please confirm if transcoding is working 100%.
Saw an earlier post that said they were having problems with it.
Hi,
Duo2 no problems. Solo2 problems with 25Hz but not with 30Hz but this might be a driver problem. When I am in the mood I try with OI.

Be advised that the box reacts on releasing the button, not on pressing it.
So the shorter you press, the swifter the reaction.
Thanls. I have a solo2 so might give it a try over the next few days.

as rob said it now responds to the RELEASE of the button, and not the PRESS as it did in ViX 3, this due to LONG press now being supported for PiP zapping.

we are still waiting for a correct boot loader for the twin, please be patient.

I'd rather have the fast zapping (on press) back than having long press moves to get PIP zapping which I hardly use. The delay is very annoying.

Is there/can there be an option to toggle this feature on and off?

We provide exactly the same YouTube version as BH, but you have to install HbbTV for that (available via the feeds).
Be advised: BH only makes images for VU-hardware, not for other makes. And this HbbTV version is only available for VU-hardware.
Thank you so much mate will download.

Thanks for the work on the new image. Could someone please confirm if transcoding is working 100%.
Saw an earlier post that said they were having problems with it.
Transcoding works on the Solo 2 - but by 'works' I mean it plays, but judders to the point of being almost un-watchable

I agree with that. The quality of the transcoded streams of the Solo2 is just usable for a (very small) telephone screen.

1. When in Graphical EPG and with 'Channel preview mode' set to 'No', pressing exit will still revert back to the original channel instead of staying on the selected one.
ad 1: Indeed, thanks for reporting.
We did look into that, and found it to be not fixable.
I can reproduce this issue 100%, but not all can. It might be related to the way bouquets have been made.

Doesn't seem to be related to the size of the screen - it judders regardless of whether I play it via VLC on a computer, an iPhone or an iPad. Sync of audio is also way out.
So far everything OK! Big thanks to team:thumbsup:
hi if I do a back up of my settings before I install the new image can I just use these instead of reinstalling everything from scratch thanks

you can if yr current build is zeus

Only backups made from the zeus image can be restored to zeus, backups made from earlier images like 3.0 wont work.

have you tried 30/60 Hz instead of 25/50Hz?
I disagree with Rob in this. I think with 7K-1M and 30/60 Hz it is quite good when you watch at smart phone or smaller tablet.

Thanks - just tried and definitely seems to be better when switching to 60fps from 50. Audio is out of sync still but not as bad as before.
Just gave Zeus a try and all Up and running in no time at all. Transcoding works on 30 fps and streaming to pc with openwebif works using MPC.
Great job. Thanks for all the hard work.
So if i install new version and want to go back can I?
What about my timers? Oscam settings etc can i save these and put back in?

Do an image backup of 808 so you can revert if you like.
Timers and auto timers are in etc/enigma2 - FTP them to your PC, then FTP them to Zeus once flashed. Same doff cam files.
Tapatālker
kill enigma first before transferring the timers.xml and autotimers.xml files to reduce the risk of corrupting them.

It's good that you can produce it too as others have said it's working. When you say it's not fixable does that mean it will remain permanently broken?
I have been doing some more experimentation today using build 002 with restored settings from 001. The reason transcoding wasn't working for me was because of the settings I was using.
Basically transcoding does work (technically)- to an extent. I have found it won't work unless you use port 80 for the Openwebif. Again, if Http authentication is enabled it won't work either whether you use port 80 or not. Bit of an awkward scenario as the purpose of transcoding is usually to enable you to stream with a poor connection outside of the network, but the fact you can't use any other port or password protect access makes it much less useful. I'm sure you guys are aware of this issue, but is it possible to fix?
Everything else seems to be functioning fine though :)
But this image replace Vix or this is an alternative image and Vix will have updates in the future?
Hi,
this is the next ViX version. It is called ViX Zeus.
ciao
Anybody gotten T2 tuner function in Ultimo with ViX Zeus?
Previous Vix version, with the lates drivers recognized t2 tuner, but no success to find HD channels. With BH there wasn't that issue, I prefer still the Vix.

zeus build 002 - VU+ solo2 - Hbbtv issue.
Hello All,
I have installed HBBTV plugin and I do get a crash whenever I am on a TV channel with HBBTV (ssr 1 hd for example). I have then to turn off the power button and restart.
I am using skin MyNOvUM can it be linked? I will wait next build and install again. Please let me know if it is working (or not) on your end.
Let me know if you need any other information for trouble shooting.
Thanks for the new image anyway!

I have usb t2 working perfectly with ZeuS... All HD channels scanning fine... So not sure whether you're talking about internal t2 tuner, or usb t2?
:)To enable in Zeus the usual fast PiP-zap mode:
-install MQB
-assign to X button 'Toggle PiPzap-mode'
Now, pressing X, you can zap PiP with (short) CH+/-
I use the following plugin's are they available on new image:
1 channel
TSMedia
CacheFlush
OnDemand
pooface: Issue is with internal t2 tuner
1 channel and TSmedia are not available via the image feeds, cacheflush and OnDemand are.
which receiver are you using cacheflush with ?.

Never ever use a password 'protected' portforwarding.
The only safe ways to connect to your box from the bad big world is via SSL or a VPN connection.

Vu Duo why?
I assume 1channel and TSMedia will work though?
pooface: Issue is with internal t2 tuner
OK, well I can't help with that as I don't have internal t2, sorry...
Vu Duo why?

Just checking because if it's run on a system that does not need it, it can and will cause more problems than it could ever hope to fix. cacheflush should only ever be run on receivers that show clear evidence of suffering from the infamous memory leak issue, this only affects the Vu+ Duo and then only a very small proportion of Vu+ Duo's.

No idea, I dont use them, although there is no reason why they would not work.

Not sure if my duo does suffer, I was advised to put this plugin on so did.
What are the symptoms?
you would know if it was suffering from the memory leak, such sudden unexpected system crashes with no logs generated.
So would you recommend I uninstall and see what happens

maybe disable it for a day or two, just to see if you actually need it or not, I have had two Duo's my self and neither needed cacheflush.
Garyblas my duo is running Zeus 002, and I have say it is the first time in years I have seen around 30 meg free memory. Infact it is running very smooth. No need for cache flush. I have ABM, crossepg running. Plugins are: ondemand, YouTube and the stock vix.
Thanks to vix team the new core is great. And I guess the new vu drivers are helping also. The solo 2 is running smooth also.

Hi,
I just wanted to ask if your using a swap file on this new image?
Also were you using one on the old image?
Thanks in advance:)

Not sure what you want to say with this? Linux tends to use as much memory as possible, as free memory is wasted memory.
Also how do you calculate that?
I recently received by brand new Solo2. Worth updating to this new version?
Hi,
I downloaded the right file for the Gigablue SE from here: http://openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=GiGaBlue-HD800SE/
Extracted the zip file. Stuck the Gigablue folder file onto a FAT32 memory stick. Powered off the receiver and unplugged. Inserted USB stick into receiver and then on the menu screen it just said 'Boot' 'USB' 'Gigablue'. 'Conf' did not appear and thus I did not press the 'ok' button. Receiver continued to boot and opened up on the last station I was watching.
So I have followed the instructions (as far as I can tell) any ideas what is wrong please?
Thanks

Yes I was using swap on vix 3.0 (256mb on USB) and I have swap activated on Zeus also (256mb on USB). I noticed that on vix 808 the duo was actually using around 100mb of swap as well as box memory. But on Zeus it is using around 5mb.
Not sure what you want to say with this? Linux tends to use as much memory as possible, as free memory is wasted memory.

What I am trying to say is that with Zeus the duo feel more snappy, Yes I understand Linux tries to use all the free/available ram, otherwise it is wasted. However for me I am seeing more free ram now. On 808 with previous vu drivers after 24hrs the free memory would be 10mb, and cached memory 6mb. Now the free is 30mb and cached is 10mb.
Yes, I agree that my duo seems to work very well with Zeus (.003 atm). However, the duo was especially unreliable when I started using usb tuners with openVix 3.0. I found that Cacheflush was an essential plugin to keep the memory leaks in check.
Now with Zeus I am still using Cacheflush and I am disinclined to turn it off...

There's no point in even looking at 'free mem' and swap used. Not even very experienced Linux users can get any useful info from 'free'; they would use " cat /proc/meminfo " to get serious information.

I also noticed that transcoding doesn't work when http authentication is enabled. A bit of a worry not having password protection. Is this a driver issue or could it be sorted out fairly easily. I use transcoding quite a lot so might have to revert back to vix 3.0 752.

If you copy the settings file to PC. You can put Enigma to sleep and edit the settings file on new image. Make sure you only copy and paste the bits about the NIM.

This is not something we can change. The best advise seems to be to use VPN, which is a lot safer than a password anyway.

Thank you for the comments guys. I am closing this thread now otherwise there will be too many posts about different things and no way to answer without another separate issue being posted.
Any issues should be raised in the normal method, preferrably with debug logs.
