Your clone box is not supported by OpenPLi, I'm afraid.

One of your picon's has an invalid ( = non utf8 ) filename.

is this a clone box??   how do you know? i have been using it for nearly 6months without any bother until now

[WanWizard]

It has "Ferrari" in the boot logo, which is a dead giveaway. And the fact it's not an OpenPLi boot logo is another one.

[Openfox1983]

so what exactly does this mean? is it no good? any suggestions on what i can do?

[WanWizard]

It means it's an illegal chinese copy, which usually means cheap and very rubbish components.

 

We decided a long time ago to formally stop supporting such hardware, as time and time again it turned out that problems that looked like software issues turned out to be caused by inferior hardware.

 

If something is to cheap to be true...

this is a real sickner for me, i payed £300 for this 6months ago and cant get a hold of the guy that put it in for me, is it going to fail altogether on me?

[WanWizard]

If it was sold to you as a "VU+ Solo", you've been severely ripped off. It (= the original) has been end-of-sales for a while now, and clones go on ebay for around £130.

 

Or were you sold a "subscription" as well, so you can watch Sky without a smartcard (which is very illegal too)?

 

It's not said it will fail soon, it could very well run for years. But since the source and the quality is questionable, I don't think anyone will give you any guarantees...

[Openfox1983]

ok, i want to thank you for letting me know this, now if i can get my hands on the guy that sold me it i can string him up. 

Thanks

Even a "real" VU+Solo shouldn't cost more than 20-30 pounds. It's severly outdated (and that's why it isn't sold anymore). For 50 pounds you can have an original receiver with proper OpenPLi support with twice or more the amount of ram, flash, cpu speed, etc.

Reminds of the same picture aI received when updating CROSS-EPG. DM500HD always crashed at that moment. When I removed CROSS_EPG, the problem was gone.

Looks like a very old openli4.0.....
