Help setting up my Vu for the first time.

[Larry-G]

Yep, all working from the USB now. I formatted it as MSDOS on my Mac and mounted it to /media/USB. I take it that its fine to use FAT?

yes thats how mine is formatted in my Uno.

also as this is now getting a wee bit technical i'll move the posts out of the intro thread into a more appropriate section so that they may help others as this section is really only meant for introductions.

Great thank you - might even place a donation in the pot.

Cheers Pheonix, I backed up the originals so it should be OK. So the box actually checks for a satellites.xml in the etc/enigma2 folder first?

That is correct. If the file is not found there, it will use the system-file in etc/tuxbox.

yes thats how mine is formatted in my Uno.

Most Picon-sets contain symlinks (to make the number of actual picons less); these are not supported by FAT-formatted media.

indeed, however my picon sets do not contain symlinks and they work just fine as is, so i'm more than happy to keep it as is for the time being.

Yes, of course. Just a point of attention for those using other picon-sets.
And FAT also has the advantage of allowing for images to be flashed. Once a FAT-stick is in the box's backside you can leave it there, and FTP any wanted images to there (so the whole upgrade procedure can be done remotely).

How would you press CH- to kick off the flash though....

Don't need to. If you don't push the "CH+" to accept the flash, the box will boot normally (after a short pause). Having the image available that way, you are always ready for a reflash.

I think rob meant the Uno mate as with the Uno you do need to press the CH- button on the receiver in order to kick the box into flash mode, and read the image from the usb stick.

I realized and deleted my post

Ahh I see, well I have it running nicely now. Switched the EPG to close EPG with the preview - looks great.

Only issue is that I think since doing an online Vix update my Picons are not showing. I have FTP'd in and checked that they are still there on the USB and accessible.

Press blue button>VIX>Mount Manager and see if the USB is mounted as USB, if not remount it as USB using the green button

[bigfella]

Yes since rebooting it has mounted as \media\sdb1 - I need it mounted as \media\USB. Is there anyway to default it at that?
