Telnet in to the box, and issue that command.

might need some help with that,could yoy tell me line

What computer are you using? Windows, linux or mac? If linux or mac, telnet is installed by standard. Just open a terminal window, and use the commands at end of document. If you're using windows, you will need to enable the telnet client. Go to control panel add/remove programs, then choose the add/remove windows components. Then, scroll through until you find the telnet client, and install the telnet client. Then, you can load up a command prompt.

Now, in terminal or command prompt, issue the command (where 192.168.0.150 is the local ip address of your vu duo):


telnet 192.168.0.150

Now, it will ask you for the username and password. If you haven't set this up for your box yet, the username is root and the password is left empty (i.e. just press the enter key).

Now, type:


ipkg update

This will then update to allow you to use the plugins and extensions...

What gave that error? Installing telnet, or running the ipkg update command in telnet?

[bryen]

running the ipkg update command in telnet

[bryen]

running the ipkg update command in telnet to the vuduo,shows web site ,but error for download

[pooface]

Can you copy & paste everything it says? Should come up with something like this:

Not sure of the exact paths, as I just made it all up. But should have something along those lines if it's successful. So wondering what yours says because you're saying it's unsuccessful...

i don't think PLi support online updates.

As Andy stated Openpli 1.0 does not support online updates, only the daily beta builds.

Sorry, I assumed they did the online updates, as thought that was where I first heard about online updates...
