About 5 or 6 weeks ago I started getting a constant upload which I have eventually pinned down to coming from my osmini. Switching the box off using the remote does not stop it, however if I switch the box off using the power switch on the back of the osmini the upload stops immediately. I am monitoring the router using a windows 10 pc and a program called Networx . I have several other monitoring programs on the pc, including Glasswire and am certain that the upload is not coming from the pc. The fact that turning the osmini off stops the upload seems to confirm this.
This is driving me crazy and would appreciate any ideas or advice anyone can offer. I use satellite broadband with quite severe usage limits. I can only use about 4.5 gig of uploads in a month, with this problem I used 9 gig in one day which of course shut me down for the rest of the month. Prior to this problem starting I was averaging between 2 and 3 gig a month upload usage.
I did recently install the openvix 5.1 update in the hope that it might help but no change. Prior to this I was staying up to date with updates.
As a temporary workaround I have enabled QOS on my router and severely limited the upload to 64k but it still continues to upload, albeit at a lower rate all the time that the osmini is connected. Without this limit in place the upload rate is around a constant 1meg. Unfortunately doing this makes my satellite broadband almost useless.
I am not aware of any changes I might have made prior to this happening, I have one none standard plugin installed which sorts programs into folders (movie organiser v2. 10), anything else is from the available plugins offered by the box.
I have removed all the plugins I have installed, I did suspect plex was maybe an issue and totally removed it from all my devices but still no luck identifying the upload culprit.
I apologise for the length of this messge but have tried to give you as complete a picture as possible.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated because the only real option I have is to stop using the osmini. I am disabled and mostly bedbound these days, I live in a rural location with no terrestrial TV or decent broadband available so I really count on my satellite box.
I have listed my installed plugins below :
AutoBouquets E2
Crossepg downloader
DLNA/uPnP browser
Dream explorer
EPG importer
IPTV Player
Media Scanner
Movie organisor
OpenWebif
Picture player
This is all that is shown in the plugins list. I have also installed some skins and have tried and then removed some other plugins, including Facebook, dreamplex and Gmail.
Thanks for reading this, hopefully someone smarter than me has some ideas. I am not a Linux expert but have worked with PCs for a lot of years and have some chance of understanding any ideas offered,
I have also now changed the router but no improvement. I bought this box in August and up until recently had no problems
