LX2 driving me nuts

[roybach]

Hi all,
My LX2 has lately been giving me a lot of grief and have spent hours upon hours re flashing and trying different mg_cfg files
Problem 1. Mg camd 138.has to be restarted manually each time I change channels.
Problem 2.Large error message comes up on screen "Online Version Check Error {failure instance:traceback" and so on and on .
anyone out there that can shed some light on these problems I would be grateful
I have literally spent hours /days re flashing different images via USB and reconfiguring setup, but always end up with the same problems and to boot the inbuilt facility for the sending of logs to W.O.S. doesn't seem to work either, or at least
I don't receive a copy as configured ,and neither do I receive a response from W.O.S.
The possibility of the LX2 going in the naughty cupboard is drawing closer.:violin:

1. You can try these configs.

Thanks for the response abu baniaz, all noted, I have downloaded the files as suggested and the only difference between those and the ones I have been using is this bit "_INCOMING PORT=2100 " .
Have reflashed again this morning and have only completed the basics like setting the Network etc. without any other configuration whatsoever and had an error message on doing a reboot 45104. I also found some other anomalies where I couldn't FTP or download Plugins , on screen a message would flash about some automatic update search already running in the background. I think it could be a hardware fault rather than software. Flashing chip breakdown maybe.

[judge]

It's not a hardware fault. Re-download & re-flash the image.
Something wrong with your install, files missing.

[roybach]

Hi Judge, Did as you suggested even using a different flash drive in case of problems with a corrupted flash drive and all went well until I installed the AB 28e plugin and went to use it, and at that point it went stupid again and I wasn't able to download Plugins or FTP using Filezilla (have noticed other posts on here today relating to similar problems using the latest Vix image) as something else was running in the background. So reflashed again and have installed the Softcam from plugins and none other , used the files suggested by abu baniaz in my Softcam setup and all seems stable at the moment. thanks both for your input. I shall post if things go potty again.:thumbsup:

Nah! same errors " Sorry you have encountered software errors blah blah needs to restart Blah Blah" going to flash with Hades 011 as a last resort. I'm going crazy , wife going crazy.:mad:

[roybach]

Here is a screenshot as it now is before I do a re flash for the last time,:eek:45113

[judge]

A crash log of the 'blah blah' might give an idea of what's causing your issues.

[Larry-G]

No real point posting that you have encountered a crash if your not bothering to also upload the corresponding crash log, otherwise were all just guessing as to the route cause and that helps no one not least you.

Reflash the receiver with a clean image then setup WITHOUT any backup's restored and keep the amount of external plugins you introduce to the image to a bare minimum. you need to list in exact steps what you did to cause the crash and ALL plugins you added your self be they from the feeds or else where. and most importantly you must include both crash logs and debug logs otherwise we simply cant help you.

[abu baniaz]

Which image are you using? Last image in the Hades range was 018.

Latest image is 3.2 010.

[roybach]

Updated every Vix image that has become available since purchase, the last 3.2.010. being installed via USB flash . Original problem was Mgcamd dropping out during channel change which started at around update to Hades 018. Recently while using the Vix 3.2.* images I started to get these Error messages with the mandatory reboot automatically following. Many instances of Re flashing Vix 3.2.10 has not resolved either problem. When I could access the error logs I sent them to W.O.S. using the inbuilt "send log to W.O.S. which transpires to not have worked. I couldn't access any logs due to not being able to FTP. I have now today re flashed with Vix Hades 011, a purely random choice born out of desperation and find that it has resolved the issue with "Sorry blah blah" error message/reboot but still suffering the original Mgcamd problem . Thanks everybody for your input.

[judge]

Something wrong with the cam or config files so.
Where did you get them from & what version are you using?

[roybach]

Tried a few different ones having received the same advice as yours from others, the latest are ones from a link supplied by abu which hasn't cured the problem, the Softcam in use is V1.38 downloaded from the Plugins but at the time of when the problem first materialised I had been using V1.35.

[roybach]

Update - old problems still there despite flashing Hades 011, convinced that it's a box problem , after all the time I've spent trying to resolve these problems I'm calling it a day , sent log x2 via s.t.w.. Spiderbox get ready.

[Bazzer]

Hi m8 this is something you might try when ever we are advised to flash via USB I always flash the box has thou it is new. I follow the instructions how to set up a new box and I do one thing at a time and make sure it is working before I go any further. I know you can flash with settings restore but for my own peace of mind I prefare to do it from scratch. Two reasons I have learnt a lot doing it this way and I know when I have done it will be working has I want it to .

[roybach]

Hi Bazzer, I have done exactly that with and without settings restore . As mentioned in a earlier post I even flashed Golden Interstar bog standard image first before flashing with Vix , I've even tried three different USB Flash drives , downloaded different images and tried them all with the minimum of configuration and waited patiently for the crash . At time of writing I have managed to get some logs off to Vix support and hopefully get a resolution. Thanks for trying to help.;)
