Known Bugs:

There is an issue with the wifi setup on 4.2 001. The fix is in build 002 and later

EDIT: Attachment removed as 4.2 002 has been released

Can't remember from last time. (Old age)
No restores? Does that mean settings or plugins? Or both?

 

[twol]

Both, it will not allow you to restore settings.

Yeah this new image requires you to setup as new as no restores of settings and plugins is possible.

You cannot restore anything at all from previous images via the GUI.

Using FTP, backup timers/auto timers/cam configs.

After you install image (using image manager or USB), Issue "init 4" command. Transfer those back and restart.
Manually re-install/setup everything else.

Before I break out the laptop tonight and download/play has anyone seen a change log?

 

[Ashley69]

Thanks for that. I just needed it confirming. Better to be safe than sorry.

inconvenient - not sure why a seamless upgrade isn't always a priority in the development process.

inconvenient - not sure why a seamless upgrade isn't always a priority in the development process.

Because some basic things were changed that prevented a seamless upgrade
It's desirable but not always possible, and was discussed this morning prior to Andy' post.

Why is it inconvenient? Learn to fresh flash and setup as new then. Takes me max 15 mins to set each box up and have it how I want it. Not much to ask is it?.........

With all due respect - for someone like you it may take 15 mins per box - for average users like myself it takes considerably longer (assuming everything goes to plan) - one of my many boxes is a miracle micro - and an fresh upgrade NEVER goes to plan (for reasons unknown - despite posting the problem multiple times here).

In 2016 - seamless upgrades are not desirable - it is expected - lets the side down for what otherwise is excellent work.

updated and FTP'ed all back and working fine.Gone back to 4.1.09 because no channel numbers in epg.Just a lack off speed when configuring tuners but that you only need to do once.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Most of the time it is seamless updates for ViX users, but from time to time a flash without restores is required and this is not through any fault of ViX Development Team. It happens with other images as well, just life unfortunately. [emoji4]

It's not just the set-up. There is also the issue of preserving timers, autotimers and power timers.
Trivial for me, but not necessarily simple for others.

Can someone post a "clean" copy of the 4.2 settings file?

I use it to compare with my current settings file, and it'll save me having to re-flash just to get hold of a copy.

Thanks.

 

[abu baniaz]

A clean copy is an empty file.

for settings ,LCD4 , channel lists and timers I just do an FTP to my PC and back after flash.Working fine.
