Quad hangs (Spinning VIX), no crash, Debug created (what does it mean?)

Wife told me that box froze yesterday so Samba may not be the cause.

I was watching an MKV contained movie and the box just froze. I pressed down on the directional control (which usually brings the movie/recordings list) but I find this screen
1.webp

All/Any button press did nothing to the box - it was stuck at that image. It only moved from a full screenshot of the movie (frozen/unplayable) to the attached screenshot. Nothing else worked - Pressing Stop done nothing but about 10/15 minutes later the box became alive again.

This seems crazy. The box locked up but kept all commands issued via remote - it took an age for the box to become functional (which should have been almost immediately) and the box then followed all of the Remote Control Commands I pressed while it was frozen, albeit 10/15 minutes after the actual button presses.

I go to get the debug logs and there are none, bar previously created ones. Really confused here.

Sounds like you're stuck in some flakey plugin list.
 
Yes, but why the Autobouquet when it should be movie list? Is there anything I can do to pinpoint the cause?

What plugins have you installed? something overwriting default behaviour?
A debug log of button presses might help.
 
Cheers judge,

Looks like I have reached the limit on debug log size (as no new logs have been created) - will increase debug log size (is this correct?)

New debug logs will be created as & when needed.
Where are you saving them to? maybe looking in the wrong location?
 
home/root/logs

it seems that initial logs are recorded as "Enigma2-01-01-1970_01-00-XX.log

01.01.1970 is OK? why that date format?
 
Date format is fine, you'll notice a different format between a full reboot & an E2 restart.

That's when unix time started. Everything in linux (time- wise) is relative to that date. The log files in E2 don't seem to have realtime markers - don't know why, but I presume it's to do with the way the clocks work in set top boxes. I'm used to seeing log entries with date and timestamps in PC versions of linux myself.
 
This morning the channel changed twice (edit - three times now) without my input. It then showed that tuner C was recording (or in use) but I have no planned recordings at the time. it's like some one else is controlling the box. Here is netstat data........I do not know if this data contains anything personnal but if it does please delete, or let me know and allow me to delete?

With any fresh flash I change the password (passwd) and my router login is personalised. Bizarre stuff.

three more channel changes - this is alarming!

And no new debug logs

EDIT - tuner B now in use but no recordings. Am I being hacked or could this be related to SAMBA? Could info I provided in the earlier debug logs have been used to access my box?

samba would not have any thing to do with the channel being changed or tying up tuners on the receiver, it does sound like some one is remotely taking control of the receiver, maybe try pulling the network cable or disable the network card on the box all together and see if the channel / tuners are still being messed with.
 
Have you the quad setup to stream outside your network? I have mine setup but only activate it if I know I'll be using it. I've read on here countless times that a password is more or less useless and the best way is to use a vpn.
 
All forwards now cancelled. Will see if lockups stop. Does the debug or netstat show an intruder?

Thank you for the responses and help - much appreciated.

I am now glad I did not return the Quad - It works perfectly. The cause of my issue was due to opening my router to the WWW.

I was hacked - and continuously hacked for at least four weeks. What began as freezing/lock up ended with channel hopping while I watched my TV.

Strange that I was more cautious two years ago, when I began, than I was a few months ago. I got lazy.

Thanks for all the replies and advice - always appreciated - and sorry I wasted your time on an issue of my creating.
 
You are not the first mate and you will not be the last and on a Positive note, because of this thread Hopefully a few more people will not fall in to the same trap and at least you now know that your Quad is working perfect :D
