[VU+ Uno4KSE] What is the best way to update OpenVIX please?

[aardvark5]

You have a crash loop in the web interface using a package called cheetah.
1) stop using the web interface for the moment
2) is the cheetah package something you have installed?

I have the very basic install of OpenVix 6.3.002 and nothing else has been installed.

From Feb 2nd to Feb 9th I was on holiday so the PC was off so OpenWebIf wouldn't be used.

So regardless of you being away this crash has been running periodically. Have spoken to the guy who wrote the package and he will put in code to trap and prevent this (hopefully) …. But means you will have to wait for him to update and then flash again to get the update

On Sunday Feb 29 I did a brand new install, absolutely nothing added extra.
It behaved for four days so on Thursday morning Feb 2nd I did an EPG download and then disabled it.
The wife programmed it for a week and when I got back yesterday it had only downloaded Thursday evenings programmes and then froze.
The PC was also off so there wasn't a connection to OpenWebIf.

Regardless,of what you think, the log shows periodic epgcache access and subsequently a crash loop in the webif.

Strange because EPG Import was disabled, the Open ATV EPG (!) was also disabled (there are two different EPGs on OpenVix) and my PC was turned off at the wall.

I put OpenPLI on this morning with a very basic setup so going to see how that goes.
I'm even thinking of buying the Gigablue equivalent because this has got to be sorted before Virgin gets taken out.
This is my 3rd VU+ box in over 10 years and the first two were faultless, I've also sent at least 12 people to WOS for VU+ boxes and set them up and as far as I know they are still going strong.

You obviously don,t believe anyone but yourself….. the webif author say s he has identified the issue…. And see extract from your own log.

I absolutely 100% believe what you say and what the log says (it's there in black and white) but I am telling you that I left the house on Thursday Feb 2nd morning and went to Lanzarote for a week.
My PC hasn't connected to the VU+ with OpenWebIf in all that time because it was off at the wall and I had to get my daughter to switch it back on because I have mobility issues.
I really appreciate your help but you also have to believe what I'm saying and that both EPG's were also disabled.

Blimey, Notepad+ shows over 16,000 references to OpenWebIf in that log file and I have no idea why.
Could it be that even though my PC is off it wants to keep connecting?

I've had an idea, I'll put my last Vix image on and disable the plugin to see how that goes.
I've also been told to only use only OpenTV EPG and not EPG Import so I'll give that a go.

 

[aardvark5]

I've done a completely new install.
I'm using OpenTV EPG set to download every 24 hours.
I've disabled OpenWebIf.
No other plugins installed except what came with OpenVix 6.3.002
No connection to my PC
No connection to my NAS

I really do appreciate your help twol

There really is a bug. Its found, its fixed and hopefully will be in next build

Thanks for that, really appreciate it.
Hopefully disabling OpenWebIf will solve it for the forseeable.

 

[aardvark5]

Just a little update, on the 10th I disabled OpenWebIf and the machine has behaved until yesterday.
I switched OpenWebIf on around 3pm for a test and at 19:59 I got the green screen of death.
I've attached the log and from 3pm to 8pm it had 4,893 references to OpenWebIf.
Here's hoping the OpenVix writer solves this because we use OpenWebIf a lot.

Webif has been fixed, but you need to update to get the resolution, in the meantime don,t use it.
having said that the crash appears to be something totally different and is a missing system file …which is really bad news.
Is the image bootable?

Yes just rebooted.

If it's missing off mine then surely it will be missing off everybody who has the same machine!!

Sorry to be a bit thick, when you say UPDATE I can only see 6.3.002 which is the one I've already got on.

“ If it's missing off mine then surely it will be missing off everybody who has the same machine!!“ - No because you are the only lucky guy to see this - so I guess the box has crashed so many times the system is screwed up.
“ Sorry to be a bit thick, when you say UPDATE I can only see 6.3.002 which is the one I've already got on.“ - which why I said in the meantime don,t use it.
Normally I would provide a bypass, but the webif is much more complex, so you will have to wait untl the next release.

Thanks TWOL, much appreciated

I've been asked for an update on this.
I'd also been in contact with WOS because I was convinced there was something wrong with my receiver but the staff member asked if I'd tried another image so right after my last post I installed another image that was on the OpenVix Image download page and it's been excellent.
I went on holiday for 10 days and everything recorded, I have my NAS connected, IPTV and 4 Fire devices in the house connected to it via OpenWebIf and it hasn't hiccupped.
I will try OpenVix again because it looks much better.

Thanks to everybody who helped because I can now finally get rid of the TIVO box and Virgin.
