    System freeze !

    Hey All , Me again. So the system keeps becoming unresponsive , this has happed 3 or 4 times now. Normally after a few days or so.

    Screen image :-

    On one occasion the system did repond but was taking 2 minutes to do so - IE click EPG and 2 minutes later the PIP shows on right hand side but no EPG. Basically like its grinding to a halt. You can not get an FTP or WEBIF connection either. The remote is working as you can see it flash on the front of the Vu box but channel up down does not change the channel , nothing tends to work.

    FTP Message :-

    20230430_113325.jpg

    I have attached the 2 crash log files with todays date on them here but i Assume the sedonf one 11:34 is the one you may need :-

    Enigma2_debug_2023-04-29_06-47-15.log
    Enigma2_debug_2023-04-30_11-34-12.log

    Any help apreciated as I assume when this happens the recording wont work and as we are starting to use this now Sky has gone I am a little worried the wife is going to nag me. I have managed to keep this one from here :-). As you are aware she wanted to keep sky so I have spent 6 months convincing her ! lol. Hopefully we can find whats causing it and stop it.

    Thanks in advance ,

    Dave.

    I would suggest you change your EPG location settings to save on your HDD, rather than the flash memory as this will leave room for plugins etc. Also noticed that your picons are loaded to the HDD. These would be better in flash (gives quicker channel changes) unless you are running permanent timeshift (which keeps the disk running). I did notice one failed attempt of the OpenTV zapper (which downloads the EPG). This may have been because you were recording at the time. In any case, change the EPG location to the HDD, reboot and run a force download of the OpenTV zapper (blue button) and check if the EPG appears. For info - the EPG is maintained in the system RAM during normal running. It only gets saved to disk (or flash) when you shut down and is then reloaded when you boot.

    Hi Joe , I have chhanged the EPG to be on the HDD now , Not sure how to change the pipcon location. I may have to re-install the plugin but will look later. The only thing is I have added a load of my own and changed the ones that are on there as some dont look good on my 4k EPG & LCD SCreen. I also have a new LNB for the 8 channel watching / recording so hopefully if it could not get the EPG then this will stop that.

    Query with EPG if it was on Internal Flash and yes i know it corrupts box and slows it down

    Can / does delete EPG work from within Internal Flash as i know it wipes it from HDD or USB ?

    Does one not have to reflash box to make it better ? I always wondered on this.

    No you do not need to reflash box just change location in settings then you can save epg.dat to that location

    Yes hard wired , but thinking about it if the system loses connection (it does loose network connection when it starts going wrong as i cant connect to it via ftp or webif) then it cant get a date time from internet but would still write data to the log.
