[DaMacFunkin]

A tip to everybody, regularly make a full image back up incase feeds are down when trying to restore.

I even keep a backup on a the USB stick that I use to flash the machine with even a 4 gig is large enough for multiple saves,it has saved me many times

Personally I just keep a copy of all the .ipk files I use on a USB stick then install those manually upon a new setup.

If you downloaded the plugins from the feeds you can download them as a .ipk with a telnet command, or as in my case, the plugins I use I have had for years often before they were on the feeds.

for example


opkg download enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker
opkg download enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand

The downloaded .ipk files can then be found in the /home/root/ directory.

That sounds a little bit complicated for me mate I think I will stick with the easy old way

I just dowload the plugins on my PC.Then just ftp in tmp directory and instal from vix panel.Easy and fast if other things are not working.I needed to do it with remote stream convertor because that one is not in the downloads.

......I needed to do it with remote stream convertor because that one is not in the downloads.

Oh yes, it is. I use it all the time on all my boxes.

 

[bellejt]

never found it in the online feeds , only in the downloads

 

[Rob van der Does]

What do you mean by 'downloads'?

 

[bellejt]

when selecthing menu-applications-green button ,it is not in the downloads.I found it by searching with google on remote stream convertor.

 

[Rob van der Does]

I can assure you it's available (under extensions). As I said : I use it all the time, also after many, many flash & restores.
If you don't see it, it is installed already.

PS: That are the feeds.

I am at a loss to understand this reflash policy. I've done vix, Zeus, Helios, Apollo. Now I have no doubts that this is necessary otherwise the vix team would not put users thru this. So I have a basic request. Cud one of you folk explain why this is currently necessary and cud you also look a bit into the future in your explanations and say at what point this nonsense will likely stop

I have long used the Vix 3.0, while changes to the Apollo. And I had the great joy of a new image!

Maybe that is worth a reflash?

If you think it's nonsense please do feel free to use another image.

Not this current daftness. I just ask a simple question. Why the constant reflashes and when do they end

every single time a reflash hes been required a thread saying why has been posted, we cant be blamed if you dont read those announcements.

I ask a simple question. Why are all the reflashes required and when will it end. I just ask for an explanation, nothing more

 

[Larry-G]

And I told you there are announcement threads explaining why, in fact your posing in one of them now, so how about you try reading the very first post of this thread instead of complaining about your free image ?.
