VIX Team Vu+ Duo Image - 05/09/2010 - Discussion

[pooface]

@ the FABULOUS VIX team: Just installed VIX but seems to suffer like canthackit do... All the menus are cut off a bit on the left side. But I'm currently using a Philips 32" CRT WS TV.
I edited the skin.xml file for a test. Positioned the Information/About menu to "60,0" instead, and I think it was spot on. What does actually this mean? Overscan? Dont't think I can det rid of it in the TV's menu(?)...
Also I found out that Vu_HD_plus skin is the only one functioning properly right now. Greenscreens when using some of the other default installed, and going into the "Softcam" menu...

Keep up the good work!

As mentioned in the first post... Reason being that none of the skins have been modded for the image...

Hello all im now on this new image (thanks all involved) first impressions are all good with me the only thing im a bit stumped by is the dreaded picons AGAIN ! I am using the channel list supplied by Sic (I love em) so i will not be changing from these, all the picons were working fine on DE but now im only getting a few showing ?? ive tried storing to HD and also on USB but the same happens ! I have even tried changing my channel list to the BMcc one just to check & rebooted various times but with no success ? any help would be appreciated. (I am back to the Vu-Support list now.)

cheers : Paul.

Ahh... thought i had read something about it somewhere.., sorry!

What about the first part of my post? Can someone please explain the "overscan" issue to me?

@ the developers: when selecting sattelite the first time I noticed that there were no 0.8°W sattelite, only 0.9°W. This gave me problems when ftp'ing my "old" bouquets to the reciever. These were based on 0.8°W. Solution simple --> download & replace satellites.xml. Perhaps this could be done in a future image release? Perhaps provide both of them? Couldn't find anything on

satellites-xml.eu

about 0.9°W satellite...

Best regards,
Yngve

When you were using the de image, did you have the picons definitely in the usb? I'm wondering whether they were stored in the local flash, and when you re-installed the image, you cleared the flash out?! With the bmcc settings (and I believe the vusupport ones), they use the different service ref to most picons, and wondering whether you might've uploaded a new set of picons to the flash rather than the usb?!

Na deffo in the usb and ive tried the HDD as well just in case ! what i have noticed though is that if i go to the satellites listing and select the channels from their on most they work fine ? but NOT if im using the favorite lists ?? could this be a sid assignment problem ?/

andy is looking in to creating an option for you to move the menus across a little... But it does sound like it could be set dependant... Have a read here about overscan:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan

Wonder if this is anything to do with the problem canthackit is having with his pioneer (search for overscan in the page):

http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/plasmatv.php?player=Plasma-TV&question=Picture_Quality

How'd you connect your box to the tv?! via hdmi routed from the amp?! If so, can you try direct in to the tv with your vuplus via hdmi?!

 

[yngvekl]

Until tomorrow I'm using a Philips 32" CRT widescreen TV. Using scart direct from VU to TV. From tomorrow on I'll hopefully be using a Panasonic TXP50GE20E plasma.

PS! Out of curiosity, is it possible to make a user selectable entry in the skin settings, e.g "Menu position..." where the user can put the coordinates of choice?

I think you have made it too easy to delete a recording ,i prefer a two button press asking me if i'm seriously going to delete "how fat is your step mothers granddaughter" ,the wife or kids could easily delete them without much effort.
Just my opinion, others might prefer it.

when you press delete (RED), it moves the file to the trashcan, it does not delete it immediately. if you want to empty trash, highlight it and press menu, then you will see an option to empty trash, or if you go inside trashcan and delete a file from there it will remove it permanently

Installed ccam 2.14 from the plugins then into the softcam menu and it's there.

There is none and 2.14 i activate the ccam the egg timer comes and does it ok but every time i go out of it it defaults to none

 

[bobonthejob]

@pio - Go to the listing of the files /movies you currently have recoerded. In the list at the top there is trash. When you delete a file from the list, it will drop in to there. You can then go in to the trash and permenantly delete the file.

Hi all
I have had the image installed for a day now and have to say you have done a great job.
CCCam is lightning fast to start when you reboot and have had no green screens,i also like that the script to check cccam is built in.
I have one problem but i am not sure if it is related to the image or the epg grabber has anyone else got a problem with the EPG not populating most of the Danish channels, it seems to download the Rytec Nordic xmltv fine but most of the EPG is empty.
Anyone else having this problem?by the way iam using the latest catseye settings

Try the following: -

1. Full reboot cycle.
2. Check with a different set or Enigma 2 settings.

Have you got a cccam.cfg file located in /etc/, and have you also tried re-starting the box?!

image is pretty good, apart from a little black bar at the bootom of the picture jumping up and down, on some channels, it is very noticable, i am using a 42inch panasonic plasma, never had this problem on any other image, and another problem, i cant get any epg working it just shows blank, and ccam info on the skin like alot of other skins, i cant find, for time and hops and stuff, this image could be the best if all of them problems get resolved, or am i looking in the wrong parts for these problems, the pic quality is good though, i am not sure if to keep or reflash. the little black bar at the bottom is very annoying,

Can you post a screen shot of the black bar at the bottom?! Not seen one and not sure what you mean by it...

As for the problem with cam info, read my reply in your other post... You need to view the second info bar (as shown by the screenshots in the first post, it is available, just not working with ecm time as no oe1.6 images do properly!)...
