ViX 1.3 Why A New Version?

[nezzeo]

Hi andy
Did you have to do any hacking under the hood in VIX in order to get the permanent timeshift button to work by just pressing rewind, instead of other images where they have to press pause, pause and THEN rewind in order for it to kick in?

 

[silverfox0786]

i personally have not had an issue with time shift rewind forward mine goes just by pressing th erelevent button

@nezzeo its not hacking mate it all open source

 

[nezzeo]

By hacking I mean custom coding/tweaking

On OpenPLi for example, if you want to timeshift (using permanent plugin) you have to press pause, then pause again and then rewind (this is the intended way by the developer - bit long winded if you ask me)

However on vix, all you do is press rewind and you're off. I just wanted to know how Andy achieved this?

unfortunatly i cant answer how and i'm not sure andy will disclose how either

either way when it comes to linux its all open source so the termanology is coding rather than hacking

nope just installed his plugin, is PLi using the latest enigma2 or are they using a custom version ?, if so they might be missing some of the new code, but on the Vu+ rewinding a timeshift is very glitchy ( pixels breaks up) at least for me. i have email Vu+ about this but atm got no response

hi andy just wondering is there any point in me putting on de image for a look with new drivers or not. if vix 1.3 is out soon then i wont bother as will only be returning to vix anyway when its ready
cheers

not long now

As far as im aware PLI images are enigma 1/2 open embeded images and they have trown out a stable image dated 12.09.2010 which they posted on 24.09.2010 the vu image has been posted here for users to look at and the openpli image is opensource as your already aware

Thanks again Andy for all your hard work to try to bring us the latest and (in my opinion) best stable image for our VUs.

1.3 is mainly a update to the latest 5.4 base image and alot of core stability issues sorted out, i have been running my solo without any swap for 2 days now, the only problem that i have comes across is the web remote sometimes fails to display the grabbed image, although has done the command.

excellent andy have fingers crossed we may see it today mainly looking forward to the new drivers for dvb-t and your new quickzap

unfortunately, because of the new dvb-core, there is no usb tuner that work at the moment, we ave tried driver from the 'other images' but these rely on the old dvb-core, and are incompatible with the new core. i have a email alex about this asking how we use them, just wait a reply, but we are not going the hold up the release for this, so there will be no USB Tuner support in initial 1.3, even if you have it working in 1.2.

is is out of our control until vu+ tell use what we need to do

sorry andy.

working in 5.4 ?, pm what you used and i'll take a look

irishchris is using the sundtek drivers from what I recall... We're talking about getting the nova-t drivers etc working... If you have had the sundtek drivers working on the original 5.4 image, chances are it will work on the 1.3 vix...

BTW, where are the sundtek drivers... Have an idea
