[VU+ Solo2] VU Solo2 ViX Image Discussion

[Rob van der Does]

.. is it possible to have subtitles in media player? I'm trying here, but without success, but maybe is my fault. The subtitle is in .srt format (spanish language) for a .mkv file, with the exactly same name

Indeed: a .srt with the same name should be played. Does the subtitle show when using the subtitle-button?

If it doesn't work you could try the subtilte player (available from the feeds). As I understand it, that will work fine, but you'll need to learn how to use it.

Added Solo2 tag.

It is the same FAT32 that I use for my others Vu+ boxes...Strangely I got usr that get written on the USB key when I insert it to the Vu+...Something that never happened before!

Corrected download links for new sections.

Great image. Good quality. But why Permanent timeshift of VIX image is not working with some SD channels? Other images are OK for HD/SD channels.

No idea? Tell us about it: which channels? Debuglog?

Thanks for the quick reply. "AMRITA, DIVINE TV, ASIANET, ASIANE PLUS" etc. channels from 9E have the problem.

You're right. No idea why this is: I'll make a bugreport for that.

noob alert..

trying to flash this with little success.

Downloaded image , extracted to usb key. from root of usb key directory I see is /vuplus/solo2/ with 6 files.

Insert USB Key into front of Solo2 switch of , switch on ... box says starting , update ... I press power button to commence update.

VFD then displays erasing/flashing , then UBIFS update ... then a countdown for reboot.

Box restarts and I am presented with a Blackhole splash screen and it gets stuck at "Starting GUI".... tried some other non blackhole backup images and same problem.

If I re-flash vanilla BlackHole-1.7.9 then system comes back with my previous settings still present ... channels, wireless password...

Clearly doing something wrong with the flash process , but what ?

factory reset the box before you flash the image, this will clear the box of all stored info such as channel files, network setting, tuner config etc

That can't be a solution: when flashing a box ALL flash is cleared.
Aparently something is going wrong: the box isn't being flashed at all, in spite of the text on the VFD.

 

[ferrari312]

Ok - so its 03:39 lol and still fighting...

I actually tried a factory reset and when i restarted the settings for BH where still present. The giveaway was it still had my WPA2 password saved for my network , i guess this was saved on the HDD somewhere.

I disconnected the internal HD and flashed with another teams image ( sorry !!! ) this was just to test my theory and low and behold the image flashed ok.

going to reconnect HD and see what happens then bed...

 

[ferrari312]

Drive reconnected and it booted into newly flashed image as expected and detected that an HDD was plugged in.

Mmmm , little confused but will come back to this tomorrow and try the ViX Image.

According to the text on your VFD all seems to be fine.
You were not using any form of multiboot, were you?

 

[ferrari312]

Multi-boot - I don't explicitly recall installing/choosing or using multi-boot in any menu or plugin.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Then the only suggestions I have is to download the image again, disconnect any internal and external devices, and to flash again.
If possible make a log of the flash (via RS232), that will tell all that happens.
