[VU+ Solo2] Transcoding problem from build 760 onwards

[Rob van der Does]

I was just about to report that in build 806 transcoding for the DUO2 (at least in a PC-environment) works again. It looks like VU+ reverted the advanced options in their 17/12 driver-fix.

 

[dfdream]

SIC any word through the distribution channels as to what VU+ is doing about this.
Its a bit ironic that the VU+ website they blab on about its transcoding features that never worked.

Suppliers and distributors should be putting pressure onto them to sort this...
Its a premium product not a €100 box....

Cant get mine to transcode to a pc using vlc. On Build 806 using port 8002 to transcode and port 80 for openwebif.

Get the following error

Yeah, I'm getting a bit confused.
Using the drivers from http://archive.vuplus.com/download/drivers/ it does work. Those drivers should be the same as in build 806, but apparently that's not the case.

 

[danivtec]

Tried with the drivers from the link but no joy, still get same error using vlc on a pc.

 

[danivtec]

Seems to have broken the live streaming aswell.

 

[vuesolo]

What a shame this is, I had just recently managed to crack the transcoding on my solo 2 as well.

 

[danivtec]

Going to try a fresh flash with settings restore to see if this helps.

 

[Rob van der Does]

VU+ really made a mess of the drivers this time.

 

[danivtec]

Hoping they fix it soon.....

 

[danivtec]

Live streaming working again after reflash.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Live streaming working again after reflash.

Good. I wasn't able to reproduce any issues in that area. Only transcoding is fully f#^&#^d atm.

 

[vuesolo]

I haven't touched any of my settings and streaming seems to be working again.

 

[danivtec]

Installed drivers released today by vu+

Can get it to transcode on my ipad with blackbox that wasn't working before at all. However I have noticed that if you stop a transcoding stream and choose another you get no sound. If you close the app down and choose the stream you get sound on the first stream. Choose another and you lose sound. Could of course be a bug with black box. I did try it on istreamgate on my iPhone and get a picture but no sound at all.

However, no luck on my pc with vlc 2.12 or mpc - hc using open webif

I have an issue with transcoding on my solo2
Solo2 does the quick flash of screen and in VLC it shows as bold as connected. However no picture/audio comes through. Using build 3.0.802 and its a fresh install as I got it for Xmas

Following Thread

Hi Everyone!

I have been following this thread as obviously we are all experiencing the same issue. I can get streaming to work to My Android / Ipad and PC no issue but as everyone else transcoding just won't work.

I appreciate everyones hard work to fix this and just wanted to says thanks and hopefully it will be cracked soon!

 

[Rob van der Does]

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do: we are all awaiting a driver-fix from VU[SUP]+[/SUP].

The 24/12 drivers fixed transcoding for the DUO2, but not for the Solo2.

Hi Rob I am using VIX 808 and I have updated to the 24/12 drivers on my Duo2, I can not get transcoding to work on my PC or Galaxy S4 using VLC using port 8002

 

[Rob van der Does]

Hmm, that should work. I've seen reports confirming that.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Maybe using the latest plugin will help: unzip the attached file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/TransCodingSetup and rstart GUI
