Hello,

I got a problem with recording/timeshift.

Vu+ Zero and latest openpli version (OpenPLi-4.0-beta-vuzero-20150512_usb).

 

I allreaddy set correct device and directories. If i start recording or timeshift i can see new file is created bot .ts file size is always 0kb. Same thing if i try to record something.

Does anybody has same problem, any solution??

Install pau and it works.
Or buy other box. Sounds strange, but the manufacturer sells the box without recording functionality. There are several threads here in the forum. Search for zero and recording.

It's not a tuner problem because in blackhole image all worked...

 

Anyway it seems i can say problem solved after "pau" install.

Thank You!

READ AGAIN!!!

This is absolutely wrong information that Vu + Zero can not record. Where is in spec said that the recording is limited on some kind? Once again, the wrong information.

[WanWizard]

Buy a box, use the manufacturers software, try to record, and see.

 

And see here: http://vuplus.com/sub/sub0102.php. It is advertised as a "HD zapper", not as a PVR box.

Where does it say it can record?

And where in the specs is it stated that the receiver can't make coffee

I have Vu+Zero on the table, for the third day running. Recording = no problems.
Some other problems are, but I'm only the third day with Vu+Zero ...

Also wrong information! PiP works fine with Vu+Zero.

Then you are running non-standard software that has the PAU hack installed.

 

Given your nickname, I wonder if you are making money of the sales of Zero's, since you're so ademant.  Stop spreading false information.

[zeros]

Hmm, I'm the most common user who uses essentially the first installed software on my Zero+. I do not have any special knowledge, other than available on the internet. I use them as I can. The subject may be terminated by me, but sorry I did not know that it is forbidden topic, then I apologize.

[WanWizard]

Nothing is forbidden. But you shouldn't spread information that is wrong.

 

If you haven't done anything to your box, maybe your supplier had already fixed it for you, so he could sell the box as a PVR (and perhaps even get a higher price). That doesn't change the fact that the manufacturer sells the box to its retailers as a zapper, not as a recorder.

[zeros]

I believe, however, that it is not a crime, and it's rubbish to talk about, that the box did not know the things that can be fixed in order with the first steps.
But I respect the law. Therefore, in my terms, this box can not master these things :-)

You might expect, and that is also formulated as such in Dutch law (probably European as well), that a product that is much cheaper than comparable products, has less features. If you'd buy a Zero and would go and sue VU+ for the reason that it doesn't record, you won't win the case. The judge will deem that you could have expected the fact. The law even goes a step further, if a product is ridiculously cheap, it says you can expect it to be fake, clone or stolen and you can be held liable for that; buying or owning such goods is an illegal act.

 

And that is exactly what's missing with a lot of people, a bit of common sense. You can't have "everything" for "nothing". It just doesn't work that way. People that do work to build your device need to get a salary, parts cost money...

[Just Me]

Well, that's true. But there are a lot of cheap 40-80€ Receivers that are official able to record using USB without modification. So a 120€ Zero is in comparison really expensive and I don't think people should know 120€ is too cheap to expect recording feature. Even a 200€ Solo SE is not able to record and this device has an eSATA Port.

[Erik Slagter]

Who sais the receivers of this price do so legally? In EU manufacturers most pay a tax for recording devices. And that is why the Zero (or the SoloSE) don't record. There is no technical limitation, it's a legal issue. But I guess that has been discussed enough now.

[zeros]

I'm very sorry for my remarks, after reading the case is much clearer for me. I did not read carefully the top spec Vu+Zero before before I bought it. It would be better not to buy this box rather than when the recording function is important (for the majority it is). This feature will probably disappear sooner or later, the risk is high. I am disappointed that none of the DVB-T sticks in my hand does not work with PLi. Work only with Black Hole software. I tried also the openatv and Vix, do not work correctly!

[Erik Slagter]

I you don't want to get disappointed at any time sooner or later, don't use USB tuners at all. You have been warned.
