After the latest update the zap-history delete itself sometimes after an hour and sometimes after a day or 2.
i've disabled/enabled the panic button but this has no result.
Using version 5.4.013

Most likely cause is the box restarting for some reason.

nope, this happens while watching.
It happened a few minutes ago, the list shows 8 entry's we want to zap and there is only 2 entry's left.
The strange thing is the remaining channels appear to be from 1 satellite e.g. 23 east or 28 east depending the last channel watched.

I've flashed the stb with the PurE2 image and the problem consists, channels disappear from the list.
Flashed the stb with the openvix 5.5.015.002 (py3) and for now it's working like before :thumbsup:

Let's hope this did the job....

I'm confused. You said it doesn't work as expected in PurE2, but does in ViX, right?

It doesn't work in Openvix also it doesn't work in PurE2.
I've tried Openvix with py3, hoping this was a solution, but after testing it didn't work either.
The zap-history entry's are deleted at a random order and it's frustrating...........

I can’t reproduce this. Can you please supply a clear and precise set of instructions.

Panic button enabled (the default) means that the zero key deletes the zap history.

I haven't been able to make it go wrong.

Maybe it's this 8 year old commit .......

"also fix history so when you goto a history point and then zap to a new channel the history after that point is cleared and the new zap is added to history."

Not sure if that commit it supposed to add or remove the commented text.

Anyway, fill up zap history with 20 entries, go into zap history and select the 10th entry.

The zap history still has 20 entries until you zap to another channel, when roughly 10 entries are removed.

@ccs So Yes the change does what it says.
If you have 8 entries in the list and you select the oldest and then switch to a new service, it deletes all entries(7) after the oldest and adds the new service to the list.
Obviously somebody thought this was the best way forward, but I am not sure logically I would have chosen this solution

There's an explanation of how it happens in posts #11 and #13.

To me the Oldest means the last one, the one at the bottom, and there are no more entries after the last one.

However even now that you've explained it and I know that after actually means before it still doesn't make any sense at all to me.

An ordered list of recently used channels shouldn't just choose to truncate itself for any reason I can think of.

.... it's been like it for over 8 years and this is the first time I've noticed it mentioned.

I can't even think of a reason for using it, but I'm sure there'll be one.

Yes I almost never use it. I seem to be good at remembering the Sky channel numbers and I just key those in.

We don't use channel numbers, all the channels are at alphabetical order, the Dutch stations are at 23 east, and frequently zapping to 28 east (Freesat), 4 east and 52 east.
So, remembering the channel numbers is a little hard :D:D and surfing trough the channels list takes time........
After 8 year there's no bugfix/workaround ?

Wouldn't a favourites list of channels do what you want?

I've tweaked this.

It won't be in release 5.4.015 as that is already part way through building.

I used Openvix 5.5.014.015 Py3, after frustration with the zap-history and YouTube problems, i've installed Openvix 5.4.016.
Now the zap-history is working better :thumbsup: But YouTube is still a pain in the......

If you have a problem with YouTube plugin report it on the repo of that plugin or OpenPLi forum.
