    Samba & plugins

    I have just moved from a duo to solo4k.

    Flashed the box a couple of times but still seem to get the same issues:

    1. Samba - I can't get this working. When I click on samba I get an error & it takes me back to the menu. Won't let me start it.
    2. During first setup I am able to load the plugins but once everything has been setup, I can't then access them. I click download & nothing loads.

    Can anyone advise me where I'm going wrong!

    thanks

    Have you installed Samba from the plugins (feeds)?

    All of sudden the feeds worked & I've managed to install samba.

    However, that is not the end of my woes.
    My box seems to be really struggling! I have programmed timers during the day... when I come back, sometimes it just hangs & I don't have my recordings!
    It seems go incredibly slow at times (spinning vix) just changing channels & sometimes crashes.
    Finally, today I'm noticing an issue where the picture goes weird, sort of slows.

    All in all i'm having a really bad time with the box. Here's a video, showing what I mean - https://www.mediafire.com/file/s8z72...1008_104541.ts

    I've tried a swap file but there is no difference.

    The box doesn't feel overly warm but I'm wondering whether it's overheating???
    Any advise would be welcome!

    did you reflash and setup box from scratch or used settings restore?
    spinning vix is box under stress.
    are your recordings going to hdd which is setup correctly?
    is your epg going to internal flash which is a no no.?
    most boxes should say what temp is running

    Maybe : Menu -> Information -> About

    If your box has a fan
    Maybe: Menu -> Setup -> System -> Fan Control
