[ViX_Misc] Vix 4.2.025 [Graphical EPG] not working

[Piranha]

I have couch flashed both 26 and 23 this morning restoring settings and plugins from 23 (which was working) in the hope that it would rectify the problem.
Unfortunately neither worked, so I presume the best option will be to fresh install 26 from USB and see what happens.

Same question as ccs asks - by 'couch flashed' do you mean via the built-in Software Update feature, or have you downloaded the image via Menu/Setup/Vix/Image Manager/Yellow Button (downloads), which is what I and probably most people understand to be a 'couch flash'?

There is no difference between 'couch flashing' and 'USB flashing' other than the requirement to insert the USB stick into a suitable USB port and (varies according to box) press a box button to accept the update when it is detected. The end result is the same.

In the first instance, I updated the software from 23 to 25 and then I encountered the epg issue and subsequent problem with crossepg not working correctly. I have then downloaded both 23 & 26 images via Menu/Setup/Vix/Image Manager/Yellow Button (downloads) & tried to restore settings from 23 which I had saved on my hdd.
Neither has worked (in that Crossepg still hangs at loading and freezes the box). Now going to download from here onto USB and do a fresh install of 26 with no setting restore. I am also going to format my hdd and usb (swapfile) to start from a blank page.

All working following a fresh install of 26. :thumbsup:

Hi Abu & team - thanks for the advice on 23 to 25 upgrade. I held off until 26 became available. Apologies if what I relate below should constitute a new thread but in my timeline, it seems like a follow on. I have a Solo2 that was up to date with 4.2.023 and I saw the thread about issues with -025 so held off until this evening. I saw the post about being OK to online upgrade to -026 so tried that. It hung during the country splash screen. I power cycled with a -026 USB in hand ready to go - it came back up to my default channel with sound but no picture. I restarted E2 - same - no pic. I then went for recovery option and brought my -023 pre-upgrade couch flash back online. Realise my next step should be USB or couch flash of -026 but running out of time when I can offline the TV here so posting to see if anyone else has seen this. Will try tomo evening the -026. Skin is the You Vix Blue HD one.

Further to above - I got the "Con back from the XO" and have now done a -026 couch flash with restore settings - rebooted fine with all local settings and timers etc - cant really comment on EPG until my next update but a quick refresh did work. All went as normal so not sure why online upgrade did not work this time. My only (known) issue was that MediaPortal comes back at a very early level and needs re-installed from Plugin's - then its own online upgrade - that takes a minute or two after the 5 or so mins to couch flash -026. So only uncertainity this time is why online 23 to 26 upgrade failed?? But I have recovered from it so not an issue for me - just advice to others to avoid same issue.
