11/06/2011 - Open ViX 2.2
Based on Open PLi 2.0

From VIX Team


Enigma: 11-06-2011.
Enigma Plugins: 11-06-2011.
GCC Version: 4.4.4.
Drivers: 20110610.

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. Settings from previous images may not be 100% compatible, and it might be best to re-setup your image without restoring system settings for 100% reliability.

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 Spinner.
ViX Team ViX_HD Skin.
ViX Team softcam manager - Lots of changes have been made here. You can now choose whether you want to check whether your cams are running by pressing menu in the softcam screen. You can also check the status of your cam checks by pressing the info button. Also, lots of behind the scenes checks to ensure no restarts of cams when it is actually running.
ViX Image Manager Update - This has been overhauled, and now has the option of creating a schedule to do daily, weekly or every 30 days backups for you.
ViX Cron Manager Update - This has been updated to allow more detailed and specific cron jobs to be created.
ViX Single EPG (with channel preview) - This has been updated to now support picons.
ViX Release notes - This is just a little screen within the Menu -> Information -> About, that appears when you press EPG/Info button, to tell you the latest updates for the image.
ViX Update Checker - This is a feature that lets you know of any available online updates by a little globe symbol in the infobar. This is set to check every 12 hours whether there are any updates for the image (can be changed in settings). If so, the icon will change from inactive to active...
ViX Logs Manager - This allows you to manager your crashlogs and system logs (if enabled). If you have a crash, you can email your bugs to us directly from the image. Go to Menu -> Setup -> System -> Logs. When in the Logs Manager, you can edit the configuration to show your forum username, and your email address by pressing the Menu button. Please ensure you do this before submitting logs!
ViX Settings - These are now found in the main System Menu.
ViX Simple TV List - This is a simple selection to show your bouquet lists, just showing the channels and current event (if in EPG). To access the Simple TV List, do a long up/down arrow button press. You can customised it to be the default option instead of Full Screen Channel List, in which case, Up/Down buttons are reversed. It can also be set in the ViX Settings for the TV button.
AutoTimer plugin integrated into image - Create an AutoTimer (Series Link), using Blue button in Current Channel EPG info. This has been updated to use threading, so that it will work in the background. No more spinning when checking for lots of timers. Default behaviour has been changed so that it does not check in standby only, and will check every 30 minutes.
CCcamInfo - CCcamInfo plugin built directly in to image.
OscamInfo - OscamInfo plugin built directly in to image.
CrossEPG - Updated to latest release to allow better EPG importing.
Movie Player - Now, when playing a recorded item, you can search EPG and add Auto Timers for the particular recording. When watching your recording, press yellow to search the EPG, then press blue to add an AutoTimer.

Known Bugs


"Link-Icon" in network doesn't show up (= grey instead of green).
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

Great work guys :p awsome image

[irishchris]

great image again - well done andy!

[tagteam3283]

cant install picons guys and EPG does not download any data? any ideas.

image installed fine, got channels clearing fine.

PICONS: the picon lists appear in the download section, the option to install appears but then goes back to the list without downloading. I have tried a number of different picons, all the same result.

[Stanman]

Have you configured the location of the EPG in the settings and selected the source?

As for Picons, your much better of sourcing from the web and than ftp to ideally USB.

[tagteam3283]

yep, EPG location configrues adn working now, thank,

cant understand why the PICON download wont work on the my flash. it worked on all the other from 1.1. to 2.1.

I have never used a USB or a HDD, always Internal Flash.

I have FTP'd the picons folder from my Dou/root [VIX2.1] on to both of my Solo's/root [VIX2.2] which seems to have done the trick [but this still doesnt make sense why the files wont download]

Cheers Stanman

using the internal flash for picons is not a wise idea. this can cause instabilities in the operation of the box and lead the the flash degrading very quickly, as every time you so much as change a channel the flash must be accessed so that the picon can be displayed thus causing the box to become slow and lagged down. i would recommend you move them to a external usb stick.

im also struggling with picons big time ... cant download , so i manually add them to the root ..
Now they only show in the epg guide , but NOT the info bar at all

[punisher]

try this tutorial, follow it and ull have them setup

[chrispeters]

scrap that last post ...its working correctly now !

[chrispeters]

i have always had them in my root on the box !! is this a problem ?
i have never tried putting them onto the HDD

[punisher]

everyone on here would recommend you using usb stick to store picons so to leave the flash memory as free as possible hence to not effect performance and not hdd too as everytime you switch channel the hdd will need to fire up to load picons hence slowing performance too but its upto you

[chrispeters]

i actually found a more serious problem with a feature that i use a lot !
VLC media player on the solo , crashes and green screens , everytime i try stream a film off my pc .
worked flawlessley in the last version .

[punisher]
