[Larry-G]

This is amazing, just when i was becoming a bit overwhelmed i found this, its amazing for a newb like me.

Glad it helps, it was written specifically with the newbie in mind and a big thanks to josh for keeping it updated when i didnt have the time to do it my self.

I have a solo2 running BH 2.0.2 rev E at the moment and would like to try out the latest vix image which I have already downloaded.
Do I have to flash the bootloader first or can go straight to flashing the vix image .
Do I transfere the solo folder to a usb key or put the file into root of the usb.

Thanks for any help given.

No need to flash a bootloader, just flash the image.
Get the latest one available from http://openvix.co.uk, extract it to the root of a usb stick, put the usb stick in the box & press the touch sensitive button when prompted to do so.

Just make sure you use the correct image for your machine as the solo and solo2 are very different machines, other than that its a very easy process to flash these boxes.

if you follow this tutorial to flash your receiver you should be fine.

Thanks. Had BH installed but HD channels with high SR didn't work. Found that the CI CAM was to blame. So softcam was the answer. But Softcam and BH was a no no.
So now I'm running wix with CCcam configured according to this post, and everything works. :thumbsup:

Thank you.

It took me a long time to get the wording just rite for this tutorial so that it would be suitable for novices and more advanced users alike, im sure the same is true for the amendments and additions made by josh.

Im currently in the process of updating my original work that this version is based on for the latest ViX images, when that is competed I will post it up.

Presume you are talking about trying to install a plugin?
If so, which one? and maybe open a new thread rather than take this thread off topic.

 

[cactikid]

no as its about the first post loading cams and newcamd is when i get the error.
i can if you wish start a new thread?

 

[judge]

No worries, where are you getting the cam ipk from?
all supported cams shoud be on http://openvix.co.uk

 

[cactikid]

yes everything from there only downloaded fresh today

 

[judge]

yes everything from there only downloaded fresh today

Which cam from there are you trying to install & I'll try it out here.

 

[cactikid]

yes everything from there only downloaded fresh todaymg 1.35 m8

and using firefox 22 forgot to add that lol

Just tried here, enigma2-plugin-cams-mgcamd.1.35a_1.0-r3_mipsel.ipk ftp'd to /tmp/
Blue button -> ViX -> Install local extension & installed just fine.
After an E2 restart, it's showing up in Blue button -> Softcam Manager.

Try downloading it & adding it to your box again, maybe your download was corrupt?

 

[cactikid]

possible,with what did you ftp with and with what browser as some dont play ball cheers.

I normally use Firefox to download and Filezilla to transfer. Never failed.
