    First Day Problems.

    Hello, i have now had VIX installed for 24 hours and i have 2 problems, which might be the same problem, there are no logs in the logs folder.

    1. I have just come in from work, the box should have been in stand-by, i found it in a 'crashed' state, no front display, no telnet or ftp access, i have had to power cycle the box, there are no recordings set for during the day. All that is set is ABM 5:45. Opentv (28.2) 5:50, epg-refresh (pvr-channel) 5:55. so the last thing the box should have done before i left for work at 6 a.m. was epg related. (I have used the same in configuration in openATV for over a week with no problems).

    2. I have tuner A set to 28.2, Tuner B is Usals, Tuners J&K are Cable.
    If i am watching Tuner B and i run crossepg (opentv 28.2) the picture freezes whilst crossepg runs, i presume it is using my motorised dish for this process even though tuner A is free (i can hear it turn), after it has run i need to rezap to another channel to unfreeze the picture. It performs fine If i am watching Tuner A. All preferred tuner settings are set to auto or default.

    Maybe this is happened this morning and is the cause of my box hanging?

    You tell me mate your more of an expert, I'm particularly more worried about why opentv is trying to use the tuner I am watching when there are other more suited and more importantly free tuners available, that is Defo a bug.

    Enable debug logs, restart receiver, repeat process, upload logs.

    Yes i will do that for the ABM problem but i have just come in from work and box is crashed again, it was fine when i left at 6:20am i can't risk going out all day and leaving it crashed like that, it could have been like that for 10 or 11 hours, it might be doing damage to the box, so unless someone has any ideas i will have to flash back to ATV.
    Ive just noticed in the root of the HDD i have a file called 'epg.dat.loading' Timed at 08:21 this morning, why does it have the .loading extension?

    Again I know its "probably" not what you want, but why not try xmltv instead of cross epg as a temp bypass and see if you then have a stable system?

    ive just run crossepg and epg refresh and that file has changed to 'epg.dat' timed at 17:41 so i think i can say it is a problem with the epg causing the crash, i just don't know what.
    so i have enabled debug logs and rebooted and since then i can't get opentv to grab the B tuner whilst i am watching it.
    I will leave VIX on tonight and see if it crashes tomorrow morning as i am in all day, but with no crash log i am stumped.

    Most likely cause of the crash is cross trying touse the same resources as ABM. I.e. either ABM is still in progress when cross starts or one of the tuners hasn't been released.

    The .loading file is created when cross starts and deleted at the end of the process.

    BTW, are you saying cross and ABM work differently in OpenATV with regard to tuner selection?

    xmltvimporter keeps crashing restarting my receiver. I've selected Swedish, norwegian, danish, finnish, polish, german and italian epg. Runs fine when I untick German and Italian. Any ideas? Used to work fine on the Solo2.

    So is it both German & Italian together? Or individually?
    Q. Is it more than 5 imports or country specific?

    You must first enable debug logs. A restart of receiver will be required to activate this.
    Menu > Setup > System > Logs > Settings > Enable Debug logs

    You will need to FTP to the receiver. The default location is /home/root/logs

    1) We've tested this and cannot replicate it. Box in standby. ABM runs. 5 minutes later Cross runs. Both work perfectly. First place for you to look is signal level on 11778V.

    2) Cannot replicate this either. Why would Cross select a tuner that is in use if a free one is available? Did you have a recording running on tuner A or one of its virtual tuners? Cross/ABM will only select a tuner that is currently in use if there is no other option. And then it will restart the currently playing service afterwards.
