How to flash a VU+ Duo using a USB stick

[ash888]

Thanks for your help.
i managed to update the box with no issues apart from 1 which is doing my head in.

the screen resolution seems fine for viewing channels but the menus, epg etc do not all fit on the screen?
the edges are all cut off so i cant see the whole menu. the first 2 or 3 letters do not fit on the screen, and also the options at the bottom like press red, blue etc do not all fit either.

have tried reseting box, changing resolution and reloading skin no luck so far.
any ideas?

you need to adjust the OSD position ( on screen display )

menu> setup> system> OSD> OSD POSITION.

Or (much, much) better: turn off 'overscan' on your TV.

Many thanks again guys, just adjusted the OSD.
couldn't make out what this option was as it was cut off before.

i have another issue i just stummbled across, i cant get the webinterface to open on my pc.
typed in the ip of my duo as i used to and the page doesnt load.

tried installing vlc plugin but it crashes everytime i try and add a server.
even if i cancel the 'add server' is crashes.

get the Vu+ control center and access it from there

[ash888]

control centre just opens the browser but i get the same results.

tried in safari and internet explorer none of them load it???

got it working guys, i just had to add the webinterface port after the ip address in the browser.

thanks for you help guys.

Hi,
Do you still need to install the bootloader before installing 3.xxx as you used to with the 2.x.x ?
I'm trying to work out why I can't mount my NAS shares in 3.0...

Hi,
Sorted now, had to run NFS Setup first.
Mounted drives still show as unmounted in Network browser although showing as mounted in Mountpoint manager
Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I like to try the VIX image on my VU DUO but I see the vuplus/duo folder contains two more files then I am used to see in other images.
The "reboot-update" and the "image version", is that OK can I leave these files on the USB stick and flash it?

Thanks

Edmund

Yes.
The reboot-file doesn't do anything on the DUO & Solo (it does on other VU's) and the image-version is for your info only.

The USB files required to flash are placed in the vuplus/duo folder in the USB drive.
There are 3 files whch if come in a zip, need to be extracted to the duo folder.
The 3 files are :
boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
kernel_cfe_auto.bin
root_cfe_auto.jffs2

Hi I'm Trying To Flash My Duo From Vix 3.0 Build 404 To Build 552 And The Download Include The Following Files:-
splash_cfe_auto.bin
root_cfe_auto.jffs2
reboot.update
kernal_cfe_auto.bin
imageversion

Where Do I Get The "boot_cfe_auto.jffs2" File From???
