First Day Problems.

Hope following aids further understanding....

Backup Manager:
Creates and/or restores settings backup. You can setup a receiver how you like it. Flash another Vix image (as a separate prcoess), then restores the settings. Your preferances, bouquets, cam configs, tuner settings will be restoroed to how they were set up.

You can also restore settings between different receivers. For example someone has TM Nano OE and wants a multi tuner receiver and buys a Mutant 2400. Flash the Vix image on the Mutant (as a separate process) and restore the settings backup. Settings for everything that qualifies will be restored. E.g. Tuner A will be the same configuration, but Tuners B, C and D, will not have anything set as nothing was set for them when the settings backup was made on the the Nano which only has a single tuner. The preferances, bouquets, etc will be restored.

Image Manager:
1.You can download an image from download server
2.You can flash/install an image.
3.You can create an image backup. Think of it as cloning the image. This can then be flashed/installed to the same make and model of receiver by USB or by Image Manager itself (process 2 above). When you flash/restore this image, it is an exact clone of the backup made.

Operations 1 and 3 are working for the Solo 4K. So, you can clone the image using Image Manager and restore/flash it using the USB installation process.

Well i have been unable to clone my image using VIX... so... anyway.

Imagemanager for 4K fixed in next release, backup image only. Restore is being fixed by author of 'ofgwrite'.

On another subject, could you post your working setup for LCD4Linux using OpenViX please.

Good morning, here i am again, all week i have used my ATV image from 01.12.2015 without problems. On friday evening i online updated my ATV which included upodates to USB drivers, etc and there was also an update for epgrefresh in there, on saturday morning i awoke and my ABM, Cross EPG and Epg refresh had all run fine and the box was perfectly lucid and operational.
I reinstalled VIX, made sure i had the most up to date plugins from the feeds and set everything up as previous. the box was fine till last night and it started to go flaky again whilst recording the x factor ITV HD on FTA 28.2, at the same time i was watching Sky Movies HD on VM (i have timeshift enabled), ( Last week i was recording and watching the recording of the x factor at the same time when it flaked and crashed).
Spinner starts to show up regular, box becomes sluggish, i decide to put box into standby whilst still recording, the box seems to turn off but the lcd screen stays on Sky Movies, i had to turn the box back on, zap to ITV HD and then turn the box to standby, Now the LCD screen went to idle mode.
Woke up this morning 06:20 the box is crashed, no front display, i had to powercycle the box, I then ftp into the box and i have the epg.dat.loading file again timed at 00:21 this morning.
There is no crash log, if i run ABM, crossepg, and epgrefresh manually one after the other i have no problems, i therefore don't think these are the problem, i actually think it is a Hard Drive access problem, i know there was some rewrites over this issue, i just can't workout why i don't have any problems with other images?
Please find attached images.
If you want any more info or settings please let me know, but at some point today i will have to reflash my image clone of ATV for the coming week.ABM1.jpgABM2.jpgABM3.jpgcross1.jpgcross2.jpgepg1.jpgepg2.jpgepg3.jpg

No such issues here. I've test as fake recording and main picture in EPGRefresh. Neither giving me any issues.

See my post 33, can you post your working LCD4Linux setup please.

[DaMacFunkin]

Like I said it does seem to work fine manually, have you tried scheduling it like mine?
You also probably don't have the same tuner config as me.
The epg.dat.loading file is part of the problem, I am certain of it, that file is always there after a lock up.
(Give me 10 mins for the LCD files, it is a work in progress, my media player screen is not finished yet)

[DaMacFunkin]

init 4
place files in etc/enigma2
init 3
lcd.zip

[Huevos]

If EPG.DAT.LOADING is present it just means Cross download did not complete.

What is the tuner setup?

[DaMacFunkin]

Tuner A Simple 28.2
Tuner B Usuals
Tuner I Cable
Tuner J Cable
Tuner K Sundtek S2 (Not configured)
Tuner L Sundtek T2 Winter Hill gb
This is exactly the same config as i have in openatv.
The Sundtek S2 is not configured because of a separate problem i am having with ABM.(its easier than going round the cabinet and unplugging it).
p.s. crossepg shouldn't be running at 00:21 at night...

Where did you download or install skin_user from?

[DaMacFunkin]

1. If you go to my original post on it you go to front display and choose skin_user.
2. Then in lcd4linux you need to press menu and load the skin user file, then choose that as your lcd screen.
You shouldn't need to do step 2 if using pre config files. just init 4 after step 1 and drop them in.

From a fresh flash you get this:

Menu > Setup > System > Front display > Skin setup, Default or Default with picon. Still dont see where skin_user comes from.

Going into LCD4L and press menu does not give option to load skin_user. This is from a fresh flash without your files.

highlight lcd 1 screen in global settings and press right, do you get the option for internal box-skin lcd as underlined?

Just figured it lol, been doing my nut in this one lol!

From from fresh flash.

1) Install LCD4L.
2) Press Menu in LCD4L and load defaults.
3) Exit that screen.
4) Press Green to save.
5) Receiver GUI will then restart.
6) Defaults loaded and LCD4L working, can now configure away.

I'll post a sticky with your config. Skin_user you posted is not needed.
