From VIX Team


Enigma: 11-06-2011.
Enigma Plugins: 11-06-2011.
GCC Version: 4.4.4.
Drivers: 20110516.

The eagerly awaited ET5000 image has finally been released by the ViX Team... Before you go installing it, read on to find out what it has to offer!

If you are used to the ViX image on other boxes, it has changed slightly (for all boxes). ViX is now embedded within the image even more. A lot of settings have been moved out of the ViX menus, and incorporated within the image...

If you have previously used NetworkBrowser to mount network mounts, please remove '/etc/enigma2/automounts.xml' BEFORE tying to setup news ones.

Team ViX Enchancements

ViX Bootlogos, Radio Logo.

ViX Team Power Manager - This allows you to enable standby at a specific time, enable deep standby at specific times, do a GUI restart at specific times, or do a full reboot at specific times. If standby is set after deep standby, then it will wake the box up and return the box to the state it was before deepsleep was initiated... For more info, look at the screenshots below.
ViX Team Mount Manager - This enables you to choose where you want to mount USB Sticks, USB HDDs, etc. This can be found in Menu -> Setup -> VIX -> Mount Manager. Please also note that USB / ESATA devices NEED there mount points setup in Mount Manager (green button whilst in Mount Manager) in order for them to work correctly.

ViX Team Swap Manager - Allows you to create/use swap files on usb/hdd, and also allows you to use swap partitions.
ViX-EPG - This is a simpler, faster version of CoolTVGuide, modified for the image.
ViX QuickEPG - This is VIXs' version of QuickZap. You can see the full epg data for the channel, not just now and next. Picons work within QuickEPG. Also includes channel preview.

ViX Single EPG (with channel preview) - The is new and unique to vix, after you open the ViX single EPG (short RED) you can view the 7 day epg for that channel, now to see another channels epg, either use the Channel up/down buttons on your remote or just key in the channel number. if you want to preview the channel your currently viewing the EPG for (ie you want to see what the current program is like) just press 'OK' on your remote, this will change to that channel showing you the program in the small video window. if you don't like it, go find another channel to preview by keying in new channel number (or up/down buttons). or if you do like it and want to go fullscreen on it, just press 'OK' again. but if you feel you want to return to the original channel you where watching (whilst still in ViX Single EPG) just press 'EXIT" button, this will return to where you where before you entered ViX Single EPG).

Radio mp3 stream crashes after some time (sometimes only > 1 hour). Once that occurs, TV is also without sound. A reboot is then required. There might be a relation with Shoutcast (in use or just installed).
A second subtitle in AVI, MP4 etc doesn't show up. Debugging in E2 just stops.
In Partnerbox (remote TV-Player) the audiobutton causes a crash.6

Hi!

Very nice! Thx for the great job!!

One question: In Black Hole Image for VU+ Boxes there is support for the Tevii S660 DVB-S2 tuner (USB). Is there a possibility to have this tuner also supported in VIX Image for et5000??

When I try to mount my NAS via networkbrowser, the box crashes. Anyway, the file called automounts.xml in /etc/enigma2 has been created! But the network drive isn't loaded.

After that, networkbrowser doesnt appear anymore in the appropriate menu. I have to delete the file automounts.xml and restart enigma to see again the networkbrowser.

Trying again to mount a networkdrive fails again in crashing of my et5000.

What can be the problem?

Can you try this again but this time try NFS share as I had a crash but that was my fault - I was mounting a LInux share as CIFS. I have my two other boxes set as NFS shares for the ET5 and work fine.

I would delete the automount.xml, restart the box and than try to mount.

Hi!

When I try to mount the netdrive as NFS, I dont get any crashes. But anyway, I dont see the netdrive under /media or /media/net (tried both, fstab and enigma mounting).

When trying to mount the netdrive as cifs, the receiver crashes (s. attachment).

Have you both tried running system updates to ensure it has the latest updates? Should hopefully solved any problems :)

geekystar
13-06-11, 12:09
Yes I have updated the software, and I thought that was one of the reason I broke it! :) Vaguely remember I couldn't do that otherwise may brick the box. But it turns out to be ok.

Apologies. I may be still running the beta firmware as I didn't upgrade to 2.1. full version.

Will do this tonight and see if it's improved.

Yeah got the box on Friday. Been running into a few small problems but overall very impressed.

Had some Cam error (related to python) popping up after installing cccam, then it disappeared after i installed some other random pluggins.

Now the only problem is unable to mount NFS. Hopefully this can be resolved tonight.

With the latest updates, still having issue with running CCCam.

Installed CCCam with ipk installer, and runs ok. But I think the auto timer check has problem. Every few minutes an error message pops up. This coincides with the time set to auto check if CCCam is running.

Unable to provide logs as I'm at work. But will be happy to do so later.

Whilst in the softcam manager, press the info button, and see what it says there. Then report back here with the details :)

With latest update I am still not able to mount a cifs share. The box doesn't crash anymore, but the share doesn't appear after mounting. I dont use FSTAB option, but e n i g m a 2 option to mount shares (therefore automounts.xml should be used). And yes, I deleted old automounts.xml and restarted box before trying to mount new cifs share.

Hi,

this is an amazing image! It's perfect for ET5000, it fits very good with all remote buttons and with old CRT monitor.

Is it possible to add more DTT-USB drivers, such as all the Sky Digital Key (A867 and Pinnacle 74e), and more WiFi drivers (RA2070, Zydas)?

Stanman
24-06-11, 19:06
Only if there is someone to help develop drivers for them.

Larry-G
24-06-11, 19:12
yeah at present were stuck for some one who knows their way around drivers, as Houdini has vanished on us ( no not a joke his name is Houdini and he has vanished ).

I don't have experience in development, but I can test it.
