Hello,

since some days ago my VU+ Duo restarts when i have an recording going and changes channel on the same time. This is a new behavior i have not seen this before. It might relate to software updates but i am not shure..

 

I have tried to look in the crash logs but im am not shure waht they say

 

One says:

 776173c0 7feba5f0 00000000 774db1ac

 

And the other

 

"/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Converter/ClockToText.py", line 78, in getText
TypeError: an integer is required

 

Also, the unit has restarted many times and only generated a few enigma crash logs.

Does anyone has a good idea ?

 

Thanks in advance.

The first one is a segmentation fault (memory access priviledge error), it's very hard to track down.

 

What does "dmesg" say at that point?

Start with a fresh reflash first....

Thanks for the replies,

 

It is ha hardware problem. The box suddenly gave up totally  with a fried voltage regulator ( apperently standard issue on VU+  )

So now i need some replacemet hardware because i defenitely whant to stay with PLi

 

So, here comes some slightly offtopic questions:

 

Does anyone now if a new VU+ duo will have better hardware? Dare i buy one more.. ?

Or does VU+ Solo2 fully work with PLi image now , i have read something about problems using both receivers ?

[Erik Slagter]

The solo2 has very interesting hardware, is supported by OpenPLi, but has various driver issues (like all other VU+ models).

[boper]

Is the driver issuses getting better and better over time ( do they fix the problems) or is there "a static situation"?
The duo is more mature i guess but it is a little bit hard to buy the same hardare again

 

[Erik Slagter]

Unfortunately VU+ tends to not fix bugs. There are driver updates every now and then, but a number of serious and less serious bugs have never been fixed.

I had to replace a capacitor in my Vu+Duo, I think it was called C807. See http://openpli.org/f...-you-can/page-2 for details.

It runs great now.

[boper]

Thanks,

Yes I have now got the VU+  up working again after replacing the C807 capacitor and an AOZ1021Ai voltage regulator ( which had a small crater in it

It was not easy to find the voltage regulator but after some searching I found them on Alixepress ( Shanghai), They sold in batches of 30 so now I have spares for a long time

The capacitor is relatively easy to replace but to desolder /solder the surface mounted voltage regulator is not for "faint hearted" if you don’t have it as profession.

Hi boper I've sent you a pm as I'm interested in some of the spare regulators you have.

Look forward to speaking with you. I have the issue of rebooting
