possible to change channels when importing EPG with crossepg. First new feature was that advance was made in top off screen but still not possible to change channel when importing.Now only possible trough webif.

no, let's not go there... just some info about what's going to be in version 5 is fine. :-)

.... well my guess would be nothing exciting, apart from the addition of a couple of new boxes, which might excite people who've got them.

Is that all Abu.

Was hoping it would be able to make dinner. Wash the dishes and do my yearly tax returns.

If I could have anything practical in new vix it would be when adding a recording via EPG on a future day it would stay on the furire day Rather than jumping back to the current event on the EPG.

It used to do this in the early days. It changed in an update.

well, 5 is out now, and abu's prediction seems to be the closest one :-)
what concerns me most is, that there is still no couch flashing for arm boxes. haven't done usb flashing in years...
i understand that arm boxes have different type of flash chips... and i understand that it is probably quite some work to implement this.
but this would be my strongest wish for future images.

... looking forward to trying this new build ... can I ask if the Devices issue has been resolved??? I used to be able to use my wireless Logitech K400 keyboard when using Chromium on my Duo 2 ... but this feature has not been working on my Ultimo 4K ...

I know its working on Original VU+ based images (BH etc.) I was told it was an issue for OE builds ...?

Thanks,
Nitemare

Couch Flashing could potentially damage the ARM receivers, thus why ViX have took the option to remove this feature to protect you guys/gals (the users).
I am using this feature, with a modified version of IM, which I won't be sharing (sorry guys/gals) but its at my risk and I will have to accept the consequences this may cause.

yes, i understand that the current flash app might brick the box, and that a modified version is required for safe couch flashing.
i think i also read that the code owner of the app said that he won't implement any changes for arm boxes... don't recall why.
i'm just saying: the only feature missing in the image from my perspective would be couch flashing for arm boxes.

I would like to be able to set a reminder that a programme is about to start
Not the current way which is zap instead of record and it automatically switching to the channel
Cheers

Upgraded 3 boxes today. As a user haven't noticed anything different other than the startup screen and slower boot up times - receiver works perfectly fine once booted up. good performance and stability like previous trains.

Oh. when setting the box up the setup wizard prompts about "Just Scan"....

If I'm back at my VuZero I will update this to v5 too. Hopefully update process will work better than with previous ones. Starting from 4.2.028 (I was on 023 earlier and didn't try versions in between) it couldn't find any USB devices after update so I had to to several (5-6) restarts always to my box before it could find USB stick and restore settings from it. Until v023 USB devices were found immediately after update and asked to restore settings found on USB stick but from v028 not anymore. Fingers crossed.

I use Remote Fallback Tuner and i also can't seem to find this Remote Bouquets copier (Channel Importer) function in Openvix 5, is it hidden in another menu?

Both 'Remote Channel Stream Converter' and 'Fallback configuration' are both now under 'service searching' which is more logical.

Yes we know but where is:

Fallback - Remote bouquets copier (Channel Importer). For receivers used as clients, copies and loads the channel list from the server box.

System Plugins in the feeds, then it will reside in the Service Searching section.

I can only remember ever seeing that feature using the 'Partner box' plugin not with 'Fallback tuner' but I've only started using Fallback again recently so I may of missed something. If you want that feature why not use RCSC ?

? - have they been switched on by default in 5.x as I have never had them on?

Probably for the normal user, not a requirement to have them on, but when there are issues and no crash log, debug is important ... so I keep them on.

I find with rscs that time shift and recording doesn't work very well for me

Just tried channels importer and it worked great however can't get the fallback function to work.

I've entered my IP from main box as 192.168.1.106:8001

Am I missing something silly?

Just a heads up but had a weird one on the LX3 I updated yesterday to 5.0.001 with a timer I had set from 6pm tonight until 1am - it had started recording a few mins before and you can see the ECMs being found in the oscam log a few minutes before (from 17:56:55) and then it just stopped at 17:59:29.

When I turned the TV on about 18:30 to sit and watch this same channel being recorded it was totally dark and showing the channel as FTA in the infobox.

I deleted the timer at which point the channel started clearing again and I've started a fresh recording.

Just a heads up to anyone recording anything tonight to check it's working as expected just in case this wasn't a one off.

I'm using oscam latest (r11360 in 5.0.001) with the same config I've had for ages and haven't seen this happen before.

I've not spotted anything in the oscam timeline up to 11370 so it could be a one off.

I am going to close this thread. Please start dedicated threads for any issues you find so we can address them. Impossible to address everything in one thread.

The zap timer issue has been fixed, but not in Release image yet. I'll post a file for it.

If you want to report issues and have them fixed, please attach crash logs and debug logs. If you need help doing this, please say so.

Thanks.

If you want to moan and whine.......... carry on!
