VIX Spinning issue, attached debug logs, not sure what is wrong

[chrisnasah]

hi guys,

been having vix spinning issue on solo 2, not sure whats wrong tried everything, attached are the logs.

[boysheff]

what were you doing on the box before the spinning vix popped up?

[chrisnasah]

nothing at all just watching tv. keeps happening randomly

[seame]

Type "vix spinning" into the forum search bar and you will find lots of posts with some helpful answers.

i had similar issues some weeks ago and found something somewhere about telnetting a command, which worked for a small time, but had to update the box, which you have already done. trying using a back up image and see if it fixes, you can always update again to 023

[boysheff]

sorry mate just noticed that you've not re-flashed.

[chrisnasah]

just updated my channels using autobouq and seems fine now, always had issue on sky sports 1 where it happened within 20 seconds of tuning to it, will see how it goes now.

thanks

[chrisnasah]

that didn't solve it, just happened again, doing nothing just watching telly. still spinning as I type.

Have you timeshift enabled? if not, enable it for now.

[chrisnasah]

got an error saying media/hdd/timeshift is not ext2,3,4 or NFS.

I use mount point to do recordings, works ok on vu duo no issues.

[judge]

What format is your HDD?

[chrisnasah]

it is set as NTFS

[mickyblueys]

That is wrong format for timeshift, it needs to be in ext 4

ok will create another partition for it, so for the issue am having do u think I should run with timeshift for time being?

[mickyblueys]

Do you use/need timeshift at the moment, if not.....Don't run it. And monitor your system

nop not needed just keep getting spinning vix someone suggested running it

[mickyblueys]

As far as I'm aware you can't run it, unless your hdd or usb are of the correct format, so I would turn it off until then.

An HDD in NTFS format (as only recording/timeshift location) can give issues. Linux really needs Etx4.

[chrisnasah]

same thing kept happening, gone back to version 18 which was fine, will see how it goes.

[chrisnasah]

I give up on vix and the spinning issue happens on the older version 18 too although takes a while before I get the issue compared to newer versions.

I guess I will try other images now.
