[VU+ Duo] Problems with 775 : EPG and WiFi

[GiP]

Hi,

I just did a reflash to 775 and I had some problems, first my WiFi key doesn't work anymore (but this can be a problem with the key), but, more important EPG is doing something strange.

I have seen that there was some changes so I 'll try to be specific.

I have only one OpenTV loading (SKY IT) and the only other EPG I load is SRG (swiss).

First time I tried I was watching a SRG channel and EPG started, did the usual thing but without any "counting" and without freezing the picture as before (as for new EPG...) it was quite fast, too fast in fact as the EPG for SKY was empty.

I retried on a SKY channel (but at the moment without the card) and it did the Channel counting up to the usual 850 or so, then started "reading titles" and stopped at 195Kb after quite a while I killed the process. I tried it several times and the result were the same: on SRG finishes with no data on SKY stops at 195Kb.

Should I try something alse?

Thanks

G

For Wifi, you have to temporarily connect using ethernet cable and then download drivers. Wifi drivers are no longer included by default.

Give the epg some more time.

Ok, I haven't noticed any mention of this. I'll try and see if I can find it.

Give the epg some more time.

You mean more time to EPG to see if it gets to the end of download, or wait for the next update?

Thanks,
G

Hi, I was having the same problem with Build 774 today where the epg update stops at 195KB, if it helps anyone, I deleted the epg.dat off my usb and re downloaded using Cross EPG downloader, worked first time then and all epg is back.

 

[abu baniaz]

More time to complete.

I'm guessing that we are now seeing what it used to do in the background after it had zapped back to the channel we were on.. Assumption is that it is taking longer when this may not be the case.

 

[GiP]

Well,

I tried e few things: deleting epg data, trying again on and off the SKY channel, waiting, but it was always the same: either no data or stuck on 195Kb. So I got back to 747 and everything works again...

About the WiFi: how do I find which driver I have to download? Alternatively, which one was the one included in the old version(that one was the right one for me)? Next time I'd like to be prepared.

Thanks for the help.

Can you say which wifi receiver you have, better still, what chipset it has?

Well, that is the problem - if I knew that I'd know what to download...
It is KRAUN KR XC , and of course nowhere it says what the chipset is. But I remember that when I first got the DUO only one chipset was supported and I got the right one (at the third attempt....) so if anyone knows what chipset that was, i can get that.

Providing debug logs of when you try to do an EPG download as well as providing as much info as possible is the only thing that can help here...
Tuner setup, EPG save location, debug logs...

 

[abu baniaz]

Plug it into a PC and explore the details, it should say what drivers it is using.

Hi have the same issue with CrossEPG where it is "stuck" on "Read Titles 195KB.

Here is a sequence of events:

1) Stopped enigma2
2) Deleted epg.dat & crossepg folder & all logs
3) Restarted enigma2
4) Performed CrossEPG download
5) Waited a century
6) Checked the quick guide and the EPG is full of gobbledygook

Logs and screenshot attached

HI,
same problem here with an et9000: with a fresh 775 install, I have the same crossepg problem, if I downgrade to 774, it works like a charm ...

 

[afc_rich]

I have just performed a fresh flash but DID NOT restore any settings/plugins. This has resolved the issue for me so I suggest you try the same

 

[manikm]

OMG same problem!!

fresh image, all EPG removed - no settings \ plugins restored.

STUCK at reading titles READ 195kb !!

 

[manikm]

seriously - surely no one can have done this upgrade without issues.

im going back to October image.
vexing.

vexing.

No point in vexing, debug logs would be a lot more useful.

 

[manikm]

surely that was the beta testers job

ive reflashed now to a working image

heres my crossepg log when it was screwed - have open tv 28.2 and Italy 13.0 ticked

EDIT - doh, this is SINCE reflashing with one of my own images. Ignore.

 

[afc_rich]

OMG same problem!!

fresh image, all EPG removed - no settings \ plugins restored.

STUCK at reading titles READ 195kb !!

Did you also delete the crossepg folder?
