Vu+ driver bug affecting recordings

[oregon]

Hi

I have a utimo with the vix 2.3 image but have had a problem with playback of recordings randomly freezing. You have to press FF/Rew to get the playback to resume.

I have since discovered this a vu driver bug as lots of other people have the same issue.

Can something be done about this? I have the exact same issue in BH image also.

Has anyone else here experienced the same problem? Really hope this can be fixed soon.

Thanks

It can only be fixed by Vu themselves, updating drivers is not possible by image authors as it is closed source

Moved to correct section, I've not seen no such issue on the Ultimo. I'd suggest re-initilizing your HDD with whatever image you are currently using.

OK, thanks will try that. Will initializing delete all recordings?

Yes it will.

[oregon]

Yes it will.

Thanks. I initialised the HDD (vix image) but the recordings are all still there. Does that mean the initialise did not work? How can I check?

Many thanks

Press menu > setup > system > hard disk > Initialize. Then press blue button, select the progress and press ok, this will tell when the format is 100%.

I've not seen no such issue on the Ultimo.

Happens on mine every once in a while (but not often). The picture freezes and the sound continues. I just press the #1 button and it jumps back 15 seconds and then playback resumes normally.

Rest assured: all VU-boxes are (sometimes) hampered by this issue, also the Ultimo.
Pause/unpause or jump 15 sec forwards/backwards always solves it (until the next time).

Thanks Rob. So, why has this problem never been fixed?

As stated above: the drivers are made by VU+. So we can only await their developments. And possibly complaining at their address might help.

Rob are these the same drivers that are in the version currently being BETA TESTED or is there a different version that corrects this issue..

Thanks Phoenix.

Will that mean the same problems will likely appear in the next image too or has a work around been found..

There's no way to work around a driver.
A VU+ driver release is expected soon, but we have no idea what issues have been solved in there.
