[VU+ Duo2] GUI is "blurred" after manual update from 147 to 153

[zYx]

Hi all,

after automatic update failed, I got the usb version and manually updated the box from settings. I restored my previous backup, but now the GUI is unclear and appears like it's blurred. The GUI fonts and graphics are unclear.

The video is set to 1080p50hz and always worked perfectly fine.

I can't seem to to be able to change fonts in lcd4linux either.

Any ideas will be much appreciated.

TPretty sure there are driver updates to deal with this issue on the Vu range. They will be included in Apollo 155.

In this case, can I go back to 147?

Yeah you can always revert back to a previous image if need be [emoji106]

 

[zYx]

Do I need to restore to 147 first and then from my 147 backup or can I restore from 147 backup directly and the box will be downgraded?

Any idea when 155 is coming out?

If you have a 147 image backup then just flash that.

155 is out now from openvix.co.uk. However, at the current moment the feeds are down which means no access to plugins.

Once feeds are working again then you could just do fresh flash to 155 and manually setup everything again (remember shouldn't do a restore of settings with 155).

I was about to downgrade, but like you say the feeds are down and I'm glad it's not just me :]

What do you mean by "(remember shouldn't do a restore of settings with 155)"? Are you saying I should start from scratch?

 

[bbbuk]

Yes, build 155 requires fresh install with no restore of settings. See this thread.

 

[zYx]

Ah I see.

I'd love to keep antilogo settings, any chance I can transfer certain settings manually?

 

[bbbuk]

I know (auto)timers are kept in "/etc/enigma2" with filenames autotimer.xml and timers.xml

As for everything else I set this up clean but doesn't take that long as I have simple 28.2 setup with very few plugins.

Those with multisat, etc will obviously find it more of a pain

ok, after a fresh update to 156, 1080p mode still looks disgusting. I'm restoring everything from scratch now. The gui is set to 1080p, but in fact it's in 720p or whatever...

Am I missing something?

Is there another tweak to enable true 1080p GUI just like I had on 147? I can't see any 1080p skins in plugins now and I could see them before.. What is happening?

 

[abu baniaz]

The 1080p skins are there. All the skins are together now

 

[zYx]

Ok, but the 1080p isn't working properly at all. It's like 720p upscaled to 1080p. Really bad. I hope going back to 147 will fix this as I can't look at this :/

The feeds were not down they were set to unstable due to a issue with the Vu+ ultimo, all other receivers were fine.

Can you give us more of an idea of what you mean it looks disgusting. What screen, skin, etc?

Maybe even a screenshot (not sure normal openwebif will show this blurred thing but if not, maybe phone photo)?

 

[zYx]

Here's an example
1080p:


720p:


I use metrix 1080p and it is not on my plugins list.
Previously, when I had 1080p selected, all my GUI was also smaller, graphics, fonts, everthing was smaller - it was in true native resolution, just like it is on PC when you change resolution. This time, the GUI remained at 720p and it appears like it's upscaled. It almost seems like my box is not 1080p capable.

As you can see above, not only fonts, but images are affected as well, including picons!

 

[bbbuk]

Weird. Did you flash back to 147 and is it ok?

What I would personally do, is copy drivers from build 147 and use them in 155 and restart box. This would help determine if it is a driver issue or not.

You do have a Vu+ don't you?

Looking at build 147, the drivers in that were dated 09/01/15. The next release of the drivers were dated 02/03/15 (not sure what build had 02/03/15 in it).

 

[zYx]

Yes it's a Vu+ Dou2

I tried restoring to 147 from my backups, but it wouldn't work, the box just reboots back to 156.

In that case, you're not restoring an image, just the settings & plugins from your 147 backup.
Fresh flash by USB or couch the 147 build, is the 'blurryness' gone then without changing any settings on your TV?

 

[zYx]

I see.

I'm getting ready to downgrade, but is there any way to downgrade drivers only? Or should I flash to 147 and then to 156 without updating drivers?
