If you are trying to extract the .ipk file for what ever reason, use 7-zip.
No I was trying to download it ,and then ftp to tmp folder and then ,press blue button on vix.
And when I press the blue button its ready to install extension ,I get this message.

What's the exact name including the extension of the plugin you're trying to install?
enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd-1.38c_openvix
Execution Progress:

wf open:ipk:No such file or directory
Pkg _ init_from_file_Failed to extract control file from .ipk.

why are you using that when you can get known working cams directly from the plugin server and www.openvix.co.uk (minus config files of course)>
What's the exact name including the extension of the plugin you're trying to install?
enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd-1.38c_openvix
No etension? are you sure the plugin name doesn't include something like (1).ipk?
Anyway, I'd do as pheonix suggests & install cams from the plugin feeds.
I have tried downloading from the site,and I still get this problem .
This is the file enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd.1.35a_1.0-r3_mipsel.ipk
and still get this
enigma2_plugin_cams_
mgcamd.1.35a_10_r
3_mipsel [12] ipk
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Download it directly from the image feeds, and which exact ViX image (including build number) are you using ??.
I have tried downloading from www.openvix.co.uk ViX-Softcams mgcamd.1.35a_1.0-r3_mipsel.ipk ,and it keeps coming up with that error when trying to download it.

Try via the plugin feeds.

And again which exact ViX image are you using including the Build number ?.
Its Virtuosso Image Xtreme By Team Vix Version Apollo Build o.30 Kernal 3.3.5 I hope that helps Pheonix
Would something like Uniblue Powersuite the ultimate maintenance for the pc, could that fix the problem with the computer.The Vu+duo 2 was bought from the sponsors of this site.
Good news , I have mgcamd 1.35 working now on the vu+duo2 as of this morning .I new I had a usb stick some where with a few cams I had downloaded a year or so a go,I found it this morning and the computer didnt come up an error and I was able to ftp it to the box.And with in five minuets of finding the usb stick ,I had the box working .I new I was doing all the right things in ftp-ing the cam to the box just that the computer wouldn't let me do it without putting an error in its way.How do you keep the cam working all the time please without having to restart the cam every time you switch the box back on again ,I hope that makes sense . :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
