View Full Version : [ViX_Misc] All User please read! Build 155 will need a fresh flash and setup!
As the title, to let all users know build 155 once built and released will require a complete fresh flash and setup, this is due to big changes in the skin GIT in preparation for the next OE-A core.
EDIT 21/03/15: We advise to do a complete fresh flash and setup.
EDIT 2 - 21/03/15: All members please note that image build 155 has been released on www.openvix.co.uk (http://www.openvix.co.uk), but please not re-flash if you require access to plugin feeds, wait for feeds to be set back to stable. See the status icons on the Forum and www.openvix.co.uk (http://www.openvix.co.uk).
EDIT 3 - 21/03/15: We've found a E2 bootloop in the VU+ Ultimo image, VU+ Ultimo users please do not update or re-flash, wait for next build. Feeds have been set to unstable.
Thanks for letting us know.
Am I correct in thinking (well hoping) the new OE-A core will support new gstreamer and I assume VU+ is supporting this new gstreamer version as well?
I'm sure I read that the last OE-A core update was postponed due to lack of support from VU+ and another box manufacturer (that you don't supply images for anyhow) with regards to updating their gstreamer !!
yup new gstreamer for new core.
vus should be ok, will be running some tests soon.
We postponed our upgrade to the new core to allow Vu+ to pull their finger out and get their G-streamer support sorted, personally I would have just released and left them behind but thats Just me. No idea which other manufacturer your talking about, but if it's not one we support it has no relevance to us.
so it will not be possible to restore settings ?
To clear things up a little, 154 will not have the new OE-A core, skins stuff was part of the preparation.

As it says buddy, you will need to do a fresh flash with no backup so a fresh install like new.
Not a problem for me as I regularly do fresh installs. All my settings are on my pc n just ftp them over, takes me 10 mins max to set my box up fresh.

Thanks Andy
So is there a list of config files I can manually copy from my receiver before I upgrade and copy back once the upgrade is complete? I always thought that's what an automated restore of the settings did (i.e. zip up a bunch of config files and copy them to the internal HDD ... then wipe the flash on the box with the latest image and unzip the config files from the HDD)
For an end user, what exactly are the changes in this build?
Not a problem for me as I regularly do fresh installs. All my settings are on my pc n just ftp them over, takes me 10 mins max to set my box up fresh.Only takes me about 10mins max as well as I always do fresh flash with no backup restore. The only thing I copy/paste are the timers.xml and autotimer.xml from /etc/engima2/
For an end user, what exactly are the changes in this build?Only thing I know is that the new OE-A core introduces new gstreamer which is used for handling multimedia files (playback, streaming, etc).
As for anything else I'm not sure and I too would be interested in knowing. Is there a OE-A changelog or something?
Will we be expecting a new image name change?
When the new image comes out with the new OE-A core yes, thats to prevent users using personal backups etc between the two images causing them selves and us unnecessary issues.
For an end user, what exactly are the changes in this build?
on this occasion, its not as much for the end user but for the dev side of things.
all the skins have been collated into 1 git, so its easier to manage, maintain and improve.
all package names and revisions have changed, so a fresh flash is best to save on any incompatiblities between old and new names for the skins.
As the title, to let all users know build 154 once built and released..Is this likely to be within the next day or two, or not for another week+?
Just curious....

Can I get backupfiles for the networkconfig and tunerconfig to restore at a fresh flash?
If so, where can I find these files?

Hi Andy, by "all my settings on my pc" do you mean channel settings which I also have backed up or otherwise?
Can you please elaborate as I am pretty new to this and don't want to spend hours setting up box after a fresh reflash if possible.

Hi mate, on my pc I have my timers, picons and cam info saved, obviously the timers I do prior to fresh flashing as timers can vary depending on what you are recording. I use ABM and crossEPG and I only have a 28.2 setup so easy to setup tuners from fresh. Obviously all depends on your setup etc.
what I would like to know will this new image resolve the 1080p issues as I have had to revert back to image 147 to get 1080p to look clear and not blurry?
For an end user, what exactly are the changes in this build?From an end user point of view, you'll notice a few changes in Plugins browser, and some bug fixes. But under-the-hood there's been a huge amount of work (especially by Rossi) to prepare for the new OE-A core and a big PLi merge (thanks to Andy).

Just that the latest VU drivers released a day or two ago, mentioned something about blurred graphic problem!

I've changed loads of settings to customise my screens / skin layout & so on so it does take me a little longer to re-do everything to my liking from a fresh flash.
I've used the screen grab function in open webif to grab the osd for each menu of settings so I can just use those to get everything back how it was. Saves a load of trial & error. At least it's only once every few months this is needed & the rest of the time it's way quicker.
:)
I keep a note with all my settings and the appropriate menu items to change. It's then just a matter of following my notes for the key presses on the remote. This way I don't forget anything.

One for build 154 and another one when new OE-A core is introduced (which Apollo will be discontinued for another name).

So what could be the reason to flash with Apollo 154 if you again have to flash with image having totally different name and stucture?

Thanks for the info. I might hang on then as you suggest rather than do it all twice. Is the new name build due after apollo 154?
Cheers.
build 155 is being built now and will carry on as per usual.
the new updated core and gstreamer will come when ready, no eta atm

We bumped the build to 155 so that the new Vu+ drivers would be included and yes a full reflash is still required.
nope, 155 should be the next public build.
yes clean flash (no restore) is recommended
155 building, providing it don't fail it should be uploaded and released sat/sun, it's a complete fresh build and fresh feeds, takes approx 2-3 days.

VU+ Duo2. Updated to 155 from USB. Set up to accept unstable feeds in the software update settings, my network is working fine, but when going to plugins to download my usual skin, although I get the feeds are unstable warning, I'm not seeing any plugins in the list. Is this correct?
Same here. Also impossible to load samba and nfs servers.

I confirm that I have a VU+ Solo2, and I have set software updates to allow unstable. After installing Apollo 155 without restores per instruction, when I go to plugins I get standard message "Warning: Feeds may be unstable. Downloading Plugin Information, Please wait", then after usual pause I get a blank screem just like the issue in v137 I think it was?
Unfortunately as I cannot proceed I have had to revert to v153.
Thanks for the great work - please let us know when to try again.

oops thanks - Sorry I missed it. I only saw the E2 bootloop in the VU+ Ultimo image, "VU+ Ultimo users please do not update or re-flash, wait for next build. Feeds have been set to unstable." and thought it was isolated to that model.
Anyway, should the feeds not be set to down if they are not working? I honestly don't understand why the "Amber", when they don't work?

Just check the feeds status in the ViX Images download section http://www.openvix.co.uk/ It is showing "updating" at the moment and will go to Green when stable.

The feeds are set to updating as they are updating, there is no need to set the feeds to unstable for one single receiver when the rest still are still working.
Once feeds have completed they will be set to RED 'Unstable' due to the Enigma 2 bootloop on the VU+ Ultimo. Others receivers appear to be ok.
Once feeds have completed we'll rebuild the Ultimo image, test, if ok re-upload Ultimo feeds and release Ultimo image build 155.

Thanks for the update guys, wondered why no recent updates.
I just took pics on my phone of settings for cable and multi sats, all done and set up 30 mins or so, hassle free. Sreenshot tuner configs to save any trouble!
the hardest part for me is tuner config., unless i copy only the configured sat. list to the virgin settings file.
(Almost 60 satellites, to be configured seperately for positioner)

You can manually edit the settings file located in /etc/enigma2/. Enigma2 must be stopped with an init 4 command before editing it.
The lines starting with the following lines are the ones that set your tuners.
config.Nims.
Once you have pasted these lines, you can restart your receiver and it will have your tuner configuration.

Thanks, friend, i dont know much about the init 4 part but will try.
What i do is dowload the settings form e2, paste the lines starting with config.nims, send the settings to e2, reboot, just when the blue light comes on front panel resend it to enigma2.(meanwhile i keep the ftp open)

If you have a complex dish setup, have a settings file with just the tuner configuration on your PC. Copy existing file to PC and delete all other lines.
Flash new image. Telnet init 4 command (guide in signature). Transfer settings file from PC to receiver. Restart receiver. Voila!
Thats perfect. init 4 stops the box but how can i restart it? (had to power off)

init 3 = restart enigma
init 6 = reboot receiver

I am not sure how you do this - where do you edit the file (settings and what do you do?
When you have a windows PC easiest way is to use Dreambox Control Center (DCC).
It has both telnet and FTP.
In the FTP screen you can also edit files.
Another way is using FTP (like filezilla) to get the file on your PC and edit it using notepad++.
I updated via software update to 155 on solose before I saw this thread but it all works fine no issues what so ever..it says drivers at 17/03/15...
Should I fresh install 155 and start afresh still or is it okay to carry on
For me, a tedious thing with flashes without settings restore is searching the channels again. It just takes a long time.
They don't change that often with the local cable service provider.
Is there a file to backup and copy back to the receiver after the flashing to avoid this, and which one would that be?
What about /etc/enigma2/settings, will it be ok to just copy this file back after flashing?
And one thing I have wondered.. you have often adviced to do init 4 before backup copying files, to get them uncorrupted. But if I make a settings backup file from the vix menu, will the files extracted from the backup file not be intact? And if not, why does it not make sure the files are intact?
abu baniaz
22-03-15, 00:24
You can always backup your channel lists using programs such as Dreamset.
If you want to do it manually, the channel files are located in /etc/enigma2/ You want to backup the following files:
lamedb
everything ending in .tv
everything ending in .radio
Channel data as well as some other files are kept in memory. If you do not stop enigma before manipulating them, you may get issues. When you restart through remote, the data in memory is written back. Copying to PC should be fine with receiver running. It is copying from PC to STB that requires enigma to be stopped.
With regards to settings file, issue is that most plugins do not cleanse the settings file even when you uninstall them. People think we are being awkward when we ask if you have tried a flash without restores when issues are reported, but sometimes there may be a line that causes issues.
I can't believe you've released a new image, then the feeds are not accessible. Been hanging all day and can't do anything

A small bit of patience can be required at times.
Feed status clearly shown in as many locations as possible (box, download server, forums) before you decide to update.

Long n tedious? My arse, problem is ViX has made all you guys lazy by introducing the backup manager, image manager, software updates etc.
it does you good to do a clean fresh install every now n then. I save majority of my settings/config files on my pc n takes me 10 mins max to clean flash n put things back how they were!!

I can't believe you had the audacity to come on the forum and moan about your free software, yet you did not have the common sense to keep a copy of your commonly used plugins. I mean is it really that hard to keep a USB stick with the half a dozen or so plugins you use daily just on the off chance you can't get them from the feeds ?,

There are loads of places to source various plugins. Cams can be found on www.openvix.co.uk most others can easily be found with a quick google search.

I didn't complain about flashing or ask opinions about my alleged "laziness" and what does good for you, just hints about files to backup to save some effort when settings backup should not be used, which abu baniaz kindly provided.
I'd rather use 10 seconds to copy some files back from the pc than 15 minutes waiting for the service search.

Hi @Phoenix - thank you for the polite reply - help is always appreciated. If somebody does not want to help why post?
From your original post I thought there might be a simple way of getting "plugin" ipk's (CAMS are on openvix as you say for the old way of installing), but others like Rossi's Skins or Samba or boot logo's or any of the many other extensions so that they can be run in and registered if the feeds are down? Something tells me the process would require quite a lot of knowledge. Anyway, thanks for the answer.

Feeds being down is not the same as being unstable.
For unstable, you can still install plugins by allowing unstable updates in the software update settings menu

The feeds are currently set to unstable, they are not down. simply enable the "allow unstable updates" option to regain access until they are again set to stable.

Thanks @phoenix and @abu baniaz - sorry for starting confusion - I am indeed using the feeds, and understand :)
The point being made was "hypothetically" speaking (for the next time as @phoenix had said he keeps off-line backups of his favourite plugins). The main reason being (and I am not complaining what-so-ever) the feeds can take such a long time to update these days - it was most of yesterday - I guess because of your great work and the popularity of ViX now with so many Linux models supported. Thanks!!
I remember when I first set my box up a few years ago I had to ftp virtually all my plugins etc across then install them manually. Things are miles easier now & remember the guys who make all this possible do it for free.
:)
Have a look at the Backup Manager -> Menu button -> Blue button for a way of installing locally saved plugins too.

My only real gripe are those forums who knock out the so called "backup" images as these forums are in a endless loop where users cant do a single thing for them selves without making a five page thread for simple things like how to set away a channel scan or how to change a skin etc, but maybe thats their way of keeping their users coming back day after day ?????.
I am not saying every user has to know all the ins and outs of heir receiver, but they should at least learn the basics for their own good if nothing else. And I know you were not complaining so I apologize if my posts were a little harsh (Just venting a little steam after a rough couple of shifts, one of which is still not even half way through even after 9 hrs).

Hi Everyone . Newbie here so please go gentle. I have had my technomate nano se for about 6 weeks. It came with the vix image preflashed from wos. Anyway I decided to update to 5he latest 155 release dates 26th March and it wiped my box . I tried to run through the setup but was unable to get access to the plugins. Nothing happens it's just a blank box, even with the menu for unstable feeds selected. So I checked the forum and noticed there might be a problem with this latest image. So I reverted back to an older image. 153, 3rd March. This refladhed and now when I try to access the software update menu to select the unstable feeds the package list update is failing, it's saying that feeds are down for maintenance even though the site is shoeing them as stable. It's been like this all day today . So I'm wondering if they are down or if my image is not working correctly ? Also ever since I received my preflashed box the vix backup manager does not work. It says there is a problem with this device , please reformat. It's been saying this since day one . Can anyone advise why it is saying this ?

Hi guys,
I'm about to do fresh flash, please can someone remind me where I grab the timers from?
Any news on when possibly moving to the new OE-A with which means new image name (another greek god maybe? :))

As soon as it's ready, we have to test some things etc so no ETA.

/etc/enigma2
Don't forget to place enigma into sleep mode first with the telnet command init 4 as these are live system files and very prone to corruption.
Hi Everyone . Newbie here so please go gentle.
Welcome to WoS.
I have had my technomate nano se for about 6 weeks. It came with the vix image preflashed from wos. Anyway I decided to update to 5he latest 155 release dates 26th March and it wiped my box .
Exactly as expected, a full reflash will always wipe the old image before writing the new one.
I tried to run through the setup but was unable to get access to the plugins. Nothing happens it's just a blank box, even with the menu for unstable feeds selected. So I checked the forum and noticed there might be a problem with this latest image. So I reverted back to an older image. 153, 3rd March. This refladhed and now when I try to access the software update menu to select the unstable feeds the package list update is failing, it's saying that feeds are down for maintenance even though the site is shoeing them as stable. It's been like this all day today . So I'm wondering if they are down or if my image is not working correctly ? Also ever since I received my preflashed box the vix backup manager does not work. It says there is a problem with this device , please reformat. It's been saying this since day one . Can anyone advise why it is saying this ?
Format the USB stick, also try reflashing build 161 from www.openvix.co.uk, you can not update from build 153 to a newer build as it may cause problems with skins etc.
As soon as it's ready, we have to test some things etc so no ETA.
Do you know if this will this require another fresh flash without restore?
Thanks.

Yes as it's based on a completely different OE Core, and to make sure no one does use a settings backup against our advice we will rename the image to prevent it.

Sounds a good idea. That will avoid people having problems if they don't visit the forum that often :)

That is what we have done with all Image versions since discontinuing ViX 3.0 but it still does not stop people moaning that were forcing them to reflash, even if it's to stop them causing unnecessary issues for them selves.

Yes I remember back to vix 3.0 & then the different Greek names to signify a new build run. I just look at it as a fresh flash every so often for the newer features is well worth it & hey it's free.
Don't understand people complaining :confused:

Feeds were only unstable for a short while. They are still accessible. in that state, you just have to enable unstable updates..
You cannot access the feeds when they are being updated.
I assume i can still couch flash but not use a restore?? thats what ive done on my nano-se and I can't get plugins even with the unstable update active.

By couch flash, I take you mean flash using Image Manager instead of online update. Flashing using Image Manager without restore of plugins will be fine.
There was an issue with the TM Nano-SE as a component was added to the build process which should not have been. This should have been resolved. If not , please start a new thread. I'll fire my one up in a minute.

...but not Pandora.
Lets leave it to Pheonix, he is the sire after all:D

There is a problem with the Nano-Se feeds. It will be fixed when the attack on github stops

The build you are currently on is far to old to be able to update online, you will have to either use a USB stick or the couch flash method.
To couch flash download the image from www.openvix.co.uk and FTP it still compressed to /media/HDD/imagebackups/
Now press the blue button > ViX > image manager. Highlight the image you want to flash then press the blue button to flash / restore the chosen image.
There is a tutorial on www.openvix.co.uk that deals with the USB method for this and all other ViX supported receivers if that's the option you prefer.
