Sounds like you have run out of flash space, either delete some of the stuff off it picons/plugins etc, or flash with latest build and only install stuff you actually use.

Try creating a swap file.

im new to this, so dont really understand what you both mean??

Have you a USB or HDD connected to your Solo?
If so, Blue button -> ViX -> Swap Manager & create a swap file.
Reboot & try the plugin again.

saying swap doesnt support fat32?

yeah, you need an ext3 or ext4 device for a swap file.
You can format the stick in the box & it will be ext4, you will lose anything on it though, so back it up first if you need anything on it.

you mentioned setup a swapfile i still cannot on my solo as i still have warning,has it been fixed from the 750 build or will others fail

 

[judge]

I don't use one, but AFAIK the issue of creating a swap has been fixed.
Latest build currently 761.

'cannot allocate memory' is about flash, not about RAM; so a swap-file won't help you.

For some reason your flash got filled up to 100%, preventing normal operations by your box. Unless you're a very experienced Linux-user, the best way forward is to flash your box.
As this might have been an accident, you could try a 'restore' during the first install wizard. It is however possible that the problem is in your setup: in that case you'll run into the same problem and will have to do a flash without restoring your previous setup.

Thanks guys. Managed somehow to get it loaded...now the only problem is the movies won't play, well they're not even loading....

I would suggest you perform a settings back up, download the latest image through image manager, then once it's downloaded flash it when done and box has booted up restore only your settings then download all your plugins one by one this should sort your problem out.

Thanks Sirius. Can this be done through PC or can it only be done through the actual box??

It can all be done via the receiver.

1. Blue button> ViX> backup manager = create your backup.
2. Blue button> ViX> Image manager = Download the image and use the restore option to flash it.
3. Once flashed select yes to restore the backup from within the First install wizard.

The whole process should take no longer than 7 to 10 minutes.

Cheers Phoenix. Will give this a try

one thing might get overlooked in ts media there is an update panel and your ts media might need a newer update it will tell you,yes some movies work but you may have to select from the 5 or 6 providers to choose from one that works.
