yes, and thats to be expected when migrating from a image that has not been updated or maintained for a year.

Tafa, glad you got it sorted. Can I suggest you visit the forum more regularly to keep upto date with all vix updates/changes.

 

[tafa]

[tafa]

can someone please point me in the right direction to add cccam 2.1.3 etc back on. can i get them from plugins etc on the box?
thanks

You want to be be using 2.3.0 now tafa, there have been issues with other versions of cccam. You can both versions from plugins as well as alot of other things you might need like skins etc.

ok had a look in vix image manager and i have a backup of my last image 3.0.808 can i restore back to that and make a note of all my settings cccam.config etc etc and then come back to the newer image prepaired?

 

[tafa]

i have a back up of my settings and image from today before i did the update to apollo... would this work?

 

[cactikid]

there is a lovely tut in downloads in pdf format of how to setup e2 boxes "guides and tuts".

you could use restore to get info but then would need reflashing again i think.

If your previous settings back up was saved to hard drive you should be able to access your settings file in the backup via FTP, from here you can copy and paste settings such as nim (motorised dish settings) etc, you will also find your c***m.cfg in there.
