ViX Team VU+ Duo Image v2.2 - 11/06/2011 - Discussion

New VIX Image VU+ Duo - v2.2
11/06/2011 - Open ViX 2.2
Based on Open PLi 2.0



From VIX Team

Enigma: 11-06-2011.
Enigma Plugins: 11-06-2011.
GCC Version: 4.4.4.
Drivers: 20110610.

ViX is now embedded within the image even more. A lot of settings have been moved out of the ViX menus, and incorporated within the image. Settings from previous images may not be 100% compatible, and it might be best to re-setup your image without restoring system settings for 100% reliability.

If you have previously used NetworkBrowser to mount network mounts, please remove '/etc/enigma2/automounts.xml' BEFORE tying to setup news ones.

Team ViX Enchancements

ViX Bootlogos, Radio Logo.
ViX Team Spinner.
ViX Team ViX_HD Skin.
ViX Team softcam manager - Lots of changes have been made here. You can now choose whether you want to check whether your cams are running by pressing menu in the softcam screen. You can also check the status of your cam checks by pressing the info button. Also, lots of behind the scenes checks to ensure no restarts of cams when it is actually running.
ViX Image Manager Update - This has been overhauled, and now has the option of creating a schedule to do daily, weekly or every 30 days backups for you.
ViX Cron Manager Update - This has been updated to allow more detailed and specific cron jobs to be created.
ViX Single EPG (with channel preview) - This has been updated to now support picons.
ViX Release notes - This is just a little screen within the Menu -> Information -> About, that appears when you press EPG/Info button, to tell you the latest updates for the image.
ViX Update Checker - This is a feature that lets you know of any available online updates by a little globe symbol in the infobar. This is set to check every 12 hours whether there are any updates for the image (can be changed in settings). If so, the icon will change from inactive to active...
ViX Logs Manager - This allows you to manager your crashlogs and system logs (if enabled). If you have a crash, you can email your bugs to us directly from the image. Go to Menu -> Setup -> System -> Logs. When in the Logs Manager, you can edit the configuration to show your forum username, and your email address by pressing the Menu button. Please ensure you do this before submitting logs!
ViX Settings - These are now found in the main System Menu.
ViX Simple TV List - This is a simple selection to show your bouquet lists, just showing the channels and current event (if in EPG). To access the Simple TV List, do a long up/down arrow button press. You can customised it to be the default option instead of Full Screen Channel List, in which case, Up/Down buttons are reversed. It can also be set in the ViX Settings for the TV button.
AutoTimer plugin integrated into image - Create an AutoTimer (Series Link), using Blue button in Current Channel EPG info. This has been updated to use threading, so that it will work in the background. No more spinning when checking for lots of timers. Default behaviour has been changed so that it does not check in standby only, and will check every 30 minutes.
CCcamInfo - CCcamInfo plugin built directly in to image.
OscamInfo - OscamInfo plugin built directly in to image.
CrossEPG - Updated to latest release to allow better EPG importing.
Movie Player - Now, when playing a recorded item, you can search EPG and add Auto Timers for the particular recording. When watching your recording, press yellow to search the EPG, then press blue to add an AutoTimer.

Known Bugs

• "Link-Icon" in network doesn't show up (= grey instead of green).
• Radio mp3 stream crashes after some time (sometimes only > 1 hour). Once that occurs, TV is also without sound. A reboot is then required. There might be a relation with Shoutcast (in use or just installed).
• A second subtitle in AVI, MP4 etc doesn't show up. Debugging in E2 just stops.
• In Partnerbox (remote TV-Player) the audiobutton causes a crash.6

[bassethound]

Another great release from andy and the team big thanks

[irishchris]

well done andy on another great image!

[Stanman]

Another great image, worth the wait.

[levi45]

thanks team nice image good work.....

[ESM]

Yes, thanks. But now I have to find a way to download the Benelux EPG....In a way that 2.2 shows it, that is.

EDIT 23:26 - I now understand that Rytec is doing things on the server during this weekend. So after 13/6 things must go good again. Not a VIX problem then, I think.

This is really a tasteful image with so many nice features. Thanks a lot to the VIX-team.

I have a few questions regarding some small issues I hope you can help me with.

When pressing the left/right button the ViX QuickEPG is opened as default. As stated above its possible to change this behavior in menu but I cant figure out where to do this.

In EPG Search window im missing the button to display historical searches. Is it somehow possible to bring it back?

[ESM]

I would like to know too how to set off that quickEPG. And I cannot find the settings to do that too.....

[jcm193]

I've not had chance to install it myself yet but on the issue of the quickepg perhaps using multiquickbutton may help or perhaps someone can come up with a simpler option.

[punisher]

the quick epg settings can be found in Menu/Setup/System/Remote Setup

[ESM]

Solved, thanks. But another problem arose there. When I choose to use the real CoolTV EPG in that remote setup I get a green screen of death after I try the EPG button.

[punisher]

do you have cooltv guide installed?

[Larry-G]

Solved, thanks. But another problem arose there. When I choose to use the real CoolTV EPG in that remote setup I get a green screen of death after I try the EPG button.

submit the crash log to us.
