Hey guys,
I also upgraded to v 1.2 only hours after getting the good news it was online, but I am ashamed to say i just downgraded back.Had freezes every so many minutes and i had the box record a channel for me while i went down to the store, When i returned i thought something was wrong with my dish because the recording froze and pixelated a few times a minute. The strange thing was the recording would seem frozen , but if i just rewinded a few seconds it would play the freeze point back without a hitch (at least for a few seconds again) When i downgraded back to v1.1 i seemed to lose my settings,( and resending them via ftp to the box didnt change anything, eventhough the box aknowledged getting the data) i could only see the number of channels i had set up as fav (with that i mean i only saw the channel nr, every nr was followed by N/A and a warning to check my tuner settings which offcourse i then did (a few times)) ANd if u hit software upgrade in v1.1 it brings you back to v1.2 .I too saw the massive amount of updates ( i got like 77) so i know the issues are being worked on. I sadly had to downgrade back to a dream elite image, which i was very content with till i found v1.1 I am not that content anymore so i hope it all gets sorted out soon because i reallyyyyyyyyyy loved v 1.1

ok, time to go back to vix 1.1. getting freezing every ten or 15 minutes on new image even though my system has the card in it. i have never had such an issue with vix 1.1. sorry to detract from this image but there are issues with 1.2 yet to be resolved. has anyone seen similar issues

I played around loads with my 1.1 image, removing various stuff, installing other stuff and I finally had it working 97% fine.

The only time it went odd was when I tried to do something while it was recording 2 programs at once, even picking a prerecorded program would sometimes bring up the egg timer and then cause the box to reboot. Seemed to be only if I had the box on say channel 3 and set up to record channel 1 and channel 2. The box would remain on channel 3 while recording the other 2 channels and as there's only 2 tuners, as soon as I tried to do anything with the box, it got confused. So I simply learnt to leave the box on one of the channels I was recording from. By doing this, I had zero problems.

Just mentioning it as was about to bring it up before new version was released.

I saw the new version and thought Yipee, and did an online update, repeating it a few times until all packages were updated.

Like the two above posters, I soon experienced very bad pixelation, like you would get with a small sky mini dish and bad rain. Doing experiments, it even recorded programs like this (problem I had a few months ago, playing back a prerecorded file would stutter, replaying it back would play fine like glenn650 is now experiancing, hence it recorded fine, seems this time it was recording bad).

It became totally unusable. So I decided it was time to re-flash.

Prior to using ViX I was a big fan of open PLi, so decided to flash the latest PLi and see what that was like. All my freezing stopped, but after using ViX since it's release, PLi seemed well kind of old, even after spending ages downloading various plugins etc, I decided it simply wasn't a patch on ViX.

So I downloaded ViX 1.2 and re flashed. First thing I did was check for any online updates, there was something like 75 packages

All I've done to the image since flashing is:
create a swap space (wasn't using one before)
Uploaded my channel settings and Picon files
Set Coolepg to download Rytec UK every morning.
Install CCam 2.14 and ftp across my config file.

Everything so far is now as smooth as silk. So it appears that for me, something went wrong with online updating (probably due to the amount of playing I had done with my old version, adding and removing packages etc).

I've got CCcam on autostart and so far it seems fine (tell a lie, a couple of times when I frst come out of standby in the morning, get pixalization for a few secs, then it's 100% fine, whether it's CCcam causing this though, I don't know).

So for me:

I did have freezing. This lead me to try out PLi again and realise how much better ViX is. Online updating didn't work due to all the messing around I'd done to my system and a simple reflash fixed everything. So maybe if others are having problems, they might want to try that.

I haven't yet tried to see what happens if I leave my box on 1 channel while recording another 2 channels. Anyone else experienced this? Would it not make sense that before the 2nd simultaneous recording started, the box automatically changed to that channel?

All I can say guys is well done, a superb image.

Hey guys,

VIX image still running great on 1.2 although Im getting a slight issue which I hope someone might be able to help with. I have a CIFS share set up with mount manager which sits on my NAS. Since Ive moved over to the new image, I seem to get random disconnects to the share and can only reconnect once ive gone through mount manager and refreshed the mount. Its getting annoying because im missing recordings. Has anyone else come across this and if so what did you do to fix it?

 

[NiTroGen]

Dunno why you're getting them. Not got any frozen messages here...

Maybe your cccam is actually freezing!? Could be one of the settings or something?!

Well, since disabling autostart, I had no restarts at all. Btw, I've changed the default ports of cccam. Maybe this is the problem...

I had this issue last night too. My recordings were breaking up for a couple of mins, never in the same place if I rewound though. After 5 mins or so all started working ok for that recording, till I played the next anyway - when it did the same.

I will reflash my box today...

 

[guff daddy]

I had this problem a couple of months ago with a completely different image - reflashing sorted it.

 

[fintannl]

so what you guys suggest is to do a usb update rather than using the software upgrade feature on VIX and all should be fine then? While my system is working fine now, thanks to nitrogen, i still have some strange stuff. when i did have the cccam issue i uninstalled cccam 2.1.4 without removing it from auostart. so then i downloaded 2.1.3 instead and autostarted that instead. so then i had 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 in autostart. then i removed 2.1.3 from autostart but 2.1.4 is still left there. obviously this is wrong as 2.1.4 no longer exists on my system. i will do a usb reflash later in and enable autostart and see if cccam behaves itself

please explain solution to swapfile. many users interetsed

OK, I was wondering about the swap-file "everybody" was talking about, and that it might help making the receiver working more smoooth... After some manic minutes browsing around the different menus, I suddenly slumped into it, the menu I was searching for.:smiley_yup:
Menu/Setup/VIX/Swap Manager
There you'll find a small menu, letting you activate a swap-unit/file. I placed a dongle in one of the rear USB-ports, and scanned (I think.., don't remember...) for it. Then I formatted it, and chose it as swap-unit. Activated the needed settings, and voila... Mystery solved. At least it was a mystery to me, even if most of you guys already know about it.

For the moment I'm back with the DE 1.3.3 image, as I need a working gbox. I will go back to VIX when the gbox-problem is solved.

Re-flash my fire....

Did an online update to 1.2, and seemed to work ok. Then doing sw-updates afterwards went seemingly ok - until three ghost-updates appeared. Thought a cold-boot was needed - so down it went, and was off for ten minutes or so. Boot to GUI, and back to the updates. Yes, "At least three updates are available" - chose install, and it starts....and nothing gets installed or removed - and it still tells me at least three updates ar available.

Also it seems like theres a glitch in The Matrix:



Thats what it looks like, when going to Deep Standby.
Startup-image is all fine.

Time for a fresh, old-school & hardcore re-flash via USB. <Eastwood ON> This needs to work - and it needs to work NOW! <Eastwood OFF>

lol, I hope this is just a joke... Have you read the first post? Have a look at the picture underneath "Shutdown Screen". Looks to me like the image is working perfectly

I TOTALLY missed that! *yikes & blush*...*brrrrr*

To me it seriously looked like an error...*arrrgh*

"RTFM"....:lol3:

Told you someone would think there was something wrong :lol3:

vıx1.2 front USB 500 gb.hdd running. Usb hdd not working the same back.

 

[pooface]

Told you someone would think there was something wrong :lol3:

We had a good run with it though before someone came out with the error

That was the idea of the shutdown screen though, to have it differentiated from the others

I have just reflashed after having the playback glitching issue last night with 1.2. I flashed 1.2 again and did all updates. I then went to set up my brand new Samsung 1.5TB hard drive (it is on the approved list). If you set up the hard drive via the VIX menu - you get a green screen everytime. If you do it via the normal Setup menus it is fine...

Any chance you can post the error logs you got when setting it up???

If the hdd is not showing any error logs, then do the following (assuming that there are no recordings, playback, or other access to the hdd):

telnet in to the box
type the command: "umount /media/hdd"
ftp in to the box. you should have the files in /media/hdd
transfer the crashlogs to the pc
exit ftp
type in telnet the command: "mount /dev/sd*1 /media/hdd"
exit telnet
zip up the logs
post logs in the advanced reply

regarding the mount command above, the sd*1 is the device where your hdd is located. This will usually be sda1. It's best to check by going in to the mount manager, and seeing what location it says your hdd mount is using...

Thanks again

I cant umount the hdd... says resource busy - even in standby...

What skin is being used in the images. It looks like the Vu HD Plus but as in the image below there are progress bars for each service. Thats what I have been looking for. Also the Cool TV screen looks different. My currrent version still takes up the whole screen.
