    Well I ran in timeshift for over 2 hours watching (1) 1 hour and (2) 30 minute programs then went and recorded the 1st 30 minute program from the timeshift menu then went back to watch TV and the picture locked up, I tried rewinding and fast forwarding and pressing the stop button but the picture just juddered and sort of jumped then stopped as if in pause, I pressed play and it started to play so I paused it but their was no pause indicator showing I had to change to another channel to get access to the receiver here is a screen shot of it in pause and the recorded program only showing about 10 mins even though it was a 30 minute program, I use timeshift a lot but only to watch programs from and have never tried doing a recording so have never picked this up it's a very strange one to describe but defiantly a bug

    Great test. So you can say for sure the Apollo image does have a problem with time shift and permanent time shift

    I'm new to Linux receivers. Is the kernel + drivers bundled with openvix? If I try another "distro" of Enigma2 am I likely to hit the same issue?
    According to openvix, the "Driver date" is 20141020

    What's something like this going to be like:
    http://image.openmips.com/4.2/index.php?open=gbquadplus

    I wish I knew the problems with the Gigablue Quad Plus before I purchased it

    With what happened with me when I tried it I would defiantly sat YES their is a problem, but I would presume only with trying to record a program while in timeshift as I never had a problem just trying to watch something as it has always worked fine

    The OS is Linux (a limited OE (Open Embedded) version), and of course Linux contains kernel and drivers.
    Drivers are closed source, provided by the manufacturer, and compiled against the kernel.
    The application in use = Enigma 2

    An image = Linux + E2 + a skin + some plugins

    Linux & E2 will vary over teams (as do skins and plugins), but the drivers (and hence the kernel) is the same for every team.

    Brilliant explanation Rob - thanks very much.
    I didn't realise E2 was an application! I thought it was more than that.

    Do you by any chance know the latest version of the Gigablue Quad Plus drivers?
    According to openvix, the "Driver date" on mine is 20141020

    It's definitely a driver issue. I tried the latest openmips also from here:
    http://image.openmips.com/4.2/index.php?open=gbquadplus
    and I had the same problem with pausing live TV

    The miracle box is a different receiver to the Gigablue so i can't see it having the same driver related issues but I could be wrong.

    Just a follow-up question: where do I find out about new kernel/driver release for the GB Quad Plus?
    How soon after a kernel or a driver release for the GB Quad Plus receiver will it be picked up by openvix and be included as part of the image?

    Thanks

    Bootloaders are not automatically updated but have to be manually. When a new bootloader is made available and we're confident it does not break any thing in the image we will recommend you update and provide a link to it, drivers are added to the GIT and automatically updated with the image, unless we find a issue wit them and intentionally leave them out.

    Thanks for the information.
    Am I correct in saying openvix developers get notified of a driver update from Gigablue and do some testing with that driver. If openvix developers find no issues, they release the drivers as part of the next openvix image?
    Where does one find out about GB driver releases, when they're planned and the change logs for each release? I have a couple of issues with my GB Quad Plus and I'm wondering when/if they'll be fixed.

    That would be the ideal situation yes but it's not always the case. Sometimes we get a heads up, other times another member of the OE-A will get the drivers and submit them to the GIT them selves. Which ever way once new drivers are issued it's not a long wait until they appear in the image.

    Great - thanks for the info pheonix

    To be honest contrary to popular belief, we very rarely if ever get to know before hand from any manufacturer about upcoming driver releases, unless we have a specific bug report in with them, then maybe they will give us a advanced copy for testing. The rest of the time we find out the same way as every one else does, when they appear on the download page.

    Code:
    http://archiv.openmips.com/
    As for changelogs again very rarely do we get to see those, in fact most manufacturers dont bother to release any form of changelog for their drivers etc.
