[VU+ Solo2] Couple of possible bugs maybe??

[Martincape]

Hi guys, just got 002 running now, smoothly at the min, don't wanna shout too loud lol.

Couple things I've noticed, just little things, not sure if they are bugs:

1) When the box starts up from a restart, or enigma restart, sometimes, if it starts up on a HD channel, there is no sound. I have to change to a SD channel to get sound. Then it's all fine.

2) When changing settings where you select a number, as in, service width or picon width in the graphical EPG, it's very slow at responding to remote button presses. I cannot hold my finger on the remote button and have it scroll rapidly through the numbers. I have to press it maybe 6-7 times, then wait for number to change. I know on ViX 808 it does scroll rapidly with my exact same setup, as I was on that last night when I was losing my head lol. I change service width from 250 to 195, so can take a while now.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, or it's just mine.

both are Driver issues. and would need to reporting to Vu.

Ar ok. So I'm not going mental lol

nope, does my head in to, and why i have started using ET10000 as my main dev box. the frame buffer on Vu's still needs a lot of work, the ViX team is also working on a FULL 1080p HD skin, of which is not currently supported by Vu, i have asked for it a few times but gotten no response.

I spent all night last night thinking my box was faulty coz of that issue lol.

The drivers in 808 were fine for both of them issues pal, could they not be reintegrated into say 003?

you can manually put them in, but will miss lot of other bug fixes.

I've noticed that the ability to connect via FTP stops frequently too. I need to do a restart to be able to connect again. Any idea what that could be pal?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Well, then I'm going mental: I can't reproduce this:
G-EPG --> Menu --> Picon width --> hold press right --> running like mad
Tested on Solo2 & DUO2 both on Zeus 002.

 

[Martincape]

I definitely can't pal. It's very slow.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Interference?
From sunlight, energy saving bulbs, TV?

 

[Martincape]

It's actually a lot faster now. Not like 808 but the whole image is now faster. Maybe with installing everything, setting all up and changing stuff it couldn't keep up. Seems fine now we're just watch telly lol

 

[Martincape]

They can all interfere pal?

Yes bright background lighting such as strong sunlight coming through a window and energy saving lightbulbs are a well known cause of RC interference, or the silly bugger across the road with a similar box winding you up by changing channels etc ( it has happened ).

 

[Rob van der Does]

They can all interfere pal?

Yup. And probably more.
Also low batteries can cause an issue like this.
Anyway: you experience it and I don't using the same box & image. So there must be something else/external causing it.

 

[Martincape]

O well. Seems to be better now. Everything I want on it is now there. Except all the films. Gonna put them on the external.

Is there a quicker way to put them on external hdd other than FTP? Can I connect direct to laptop in the ext3/4 format?

you can load a driver that would allow windows to recognize the ext3/4 format. I made a thread on this forum a while ago, if i find it i'll repost it.

 

[Martincape]

That would be great pal. Would I be able to write to it too?

 

[Larry-G]

yes..........

 

[Martincape]

Legend if you can find it
