Vu+ Solo2 causing internet problems.

[coach]

It did that 27 times. I don't have the log for when it crashed changing cams or looking at transcoding. I restored a back up due to the problems.

 

[judge]

What build are you currently using? what build did you restore a settings backup from?

 

[coach]

Build is Helios 008, back up from helios 001, I think. Could have been 006

 

[coach]

I only got the box on Wednesday from World of Satellite and it came with 001.

 

[judge]

Try a fresh flash of Helios 010 with no settings backups, currently available on http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Vu+Solo2/

 

[coach]

are there any obvious problems from the log?

 

[coach]

do i just put the file on a usb and plug it in?

 

[judge]

I only got the box on Wednesday from World of Satellite and it came with 001.

Sounds like you've added some flakey plugins/config files & your restore is re-adding these issues.
Better off just setting up from scratch on 010 for now.

 

[coach]

should I factory reset and then flash?

 

[judge]

No need to factory reset as flashing wipes the flash.
Just extract the build to a USB stick or download & flash using the inbuilt image manager.
Flashing tutorials are also available on http://openvix.co.uk

cheers, will give it a go and let you know how I get on.

i've noticed that its my internet and once a week i have to switch off for a few minutes and put it back on and everything fine, getting about 10meg. tried installing Mgcamd 1.35a and setup but same issue.

 

[coach]

When the internet slows with mine I turn the Vu SOlo2 box off via the remote the internet then works perfectly. I turn it back on from stand by and the internet stops. This suggests the problem is with the Solo.

I've reset the router and still this problem persists.

I'm going to try a flash of the newest Helios and see if that works.

 

[coach]

It's also so inconsistent. Right now everything, internet and picture are fine and have been all morning. However what happens next is one will give, usually the internet.

 

[boysheff]

try flashing with helios 010, 006 or 004

Just has an addition to this I updated both my solo2 and duo2 to Helios 006 from Zeus on Wednesday night, both use mgcamd 1.35a, on completion of both upgrades my email, Internet etc came to an annoying crawl, virtually every command would time out, my router webif became unresponsive, even power cycling my my router and modem didnt fix it after tearing the last bit if my hair out I unplugged both the duo2 and solo2 network cables and the network just pinged back to life again, I then easily did a reboot of the router from web if, plugged both the cables back in and it all seems to have been fine, so I would have to agree something somewhere seems to go a bit wobbly.

Hello,

I appear (hope I haven't spoken too soon) to have had some success.

My picture has stabilised and my internet has been working as normal

I'm not entirely sure how I managed it, but this is what I did;

Turned off the mgcamd log. Gave my Solo2 a reserved ip address on my router.

I then tried to flash it to Helios 010. However I realised I didn't know how to do this. Although whilst trying I turned my Solo2 off and back on at the back of the box.

Since then, it's worked like a dream!

When turning your box off at the back make sure you shut it down first from the menu (deep standby)

 

[coach]

I didn't know that! Hopefully not caused any damage.

You are risking physical damage as well as loosing settings/EPG.
