[ViX_Misc] Latest stable download

[chrisnasah]

Hi Guys,

What is the latest stable version and where can i download it from?

I installed one from the download section and there was no updates until i enabled unstable downloads, been having issues since then.

Can someone please confirm what is the latest stable version and where can i obtain it from.

Also would it be ok to restore from backup for the settings?

Thanks

thanks,

[chrisnasah]

anyone who can confirm?

The images you find there are usually stable builds & pretty safe to use.

There is very little different between a beta and a stable VIX.

On the whole the image is tested and is a fairly robust and stable beta, once we are all happy its set to stable.

You will very very rarely find a VIX beta that is totally unstable.

I use three boxes and assure you the vix beta's are more stable than some release images I have used.

thanks for confirming.

Currently i am on build 511 but have few niggling issues which i didnt have before.

With EPG after a reboot my epg does not load until i download it again, where is the option to force it to reload on reboot? Using crossepg.

Also when going back to previous viewed channel i am now getting a history zap rather than it directly going to previous channel as before, cant figure out where to change this.

Thanks

No idea why your box isn't loading EPG on a boot, which box is it & where are you storing EPG?

The Zap History browser is now built into the image, you can continue pressing <> to scroll to the channel you want.

i am using vu duo and saving onto a usb but everytime i boot it is not loading.

I actually prefered it going ack direct to the channel rather than the list, hope in the future this could be a option for people who prefered it.

Thanks

Do you have an internal HDD in the Duo, if so try storing EPG there & report back if it's still getting lost.

 

[chrisnasah]

no internal hdd so cant try, might get one soon though.

i formatted my usb to fat rather than fat32 and seems to have loaded fine now. not sure if that was the reason for not working.

 

[judge]

If I was using a USB, i'd format the stick using the box.
If it happens again, try that.

 

[chrisnasah]

how do u do that not able to find the location to do it.

how do u do that not able to find the location to do it.

Oh, sorry. Maybe you can't using the GUI, it's been a long time since I used a USB stick on my Duo.
If not, something like:

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

should work in telnet.

 

[chrisnasah]

had same issues again, have formatted using box so will see how it goes.

Before there used to be an option asking force reload on reboot, was that removed?

I have some epg issues which are noted in thread http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?23470-EGP-data-keeps-disappearing/page2. Could these be related in some way? I am not updating the software at present as I am hoping that a fix will become available soon. It is difficult recording without epg !!
