Is anybody out there?

Apart from the fact that there might have gone something wrong with the online update from 6.1 to 6.2 you could perform a fresh flash without restoring anything and try this for a few days and see if the crash still happens. Besides this, online flashing of different images doesn’t take much time either.
As you use two CI modules and so no cam is involved which has to be configured flashing won’t take very much time.

About VU.

http://archive.vuplu...wnload/drivers/

Use the latest image if you want.

Find earlier driver in the list for your receiver.

Extract and replace the files in root/lib/module/.#.#.#/extra/...

and restart complete.

Ok, thanks for the answer, I will do this and let you know.

My box is the Vu+ Duo2, with 2xDVB-S2 Dual tuner, 2 viaccess pcmcia modules, BisTV and SRG SSR.

And can I "update" directly from 6.2 to 6.1?

Yes did not read further, but the problem is comming from the fact that two pcmcia modules are installed. There is to much power drop . It is a hardware problem . Curious that it works with another image . The older the duo2 the worse the problem become. Dunno if thepower module can be replaced by a stronger (or better regulated one) The voltage on pcmcia module is just runing on the lower edge . This make's it unstable.

[christophecvr]

as extra . can also be a firmware problem . Could be that they can slightly increase the voltage for pcmcia port just like by pc's sometimes must be done for some high performance ram. However in my duo2 the base power supply does not look good at all anymore so what all capacitors started to leak :-( so yes that will cause power drops

That is right, I especially noted that when upgrading from a pli version to a higher one keeping old settings almost always causes big issues. (same goes for openatv) Best is just to backup just you're channels bouquets and lame files) And perform a flash whitout restoring any setting. After all is configured with the wizard restart box then remove the channel list (all bouquets and lame files ) install the one you saved true ftp.

Then run via telnet

wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web...streload?mode=0

 

or (not the best way but possible) just kill box with by power knob on the back wait 10 to 20 seconds put power back on line.

[christophecvr]

the telnet command is

wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/servicelistreload?mode=0

Hi,

The power off/on is not the right approach.

To replace your lamedb and userbouquet with a personal backup the steps are:

In telnet:

init 4

In FTP transfer the files into /etc/enigma2

In telnet:

init 3

Indeed that is better then power off (but power of as bad it is maybe easier for starters )

 

What You just told with init 4 (killing E2 ) change the files init 3 (restarting E2 on right way) is much better. But if a user can and does understand what he's doing ,

 

The best I find is.

 

Just replace all the concerned files Not that much all the bouquets and lame files (best first remove any wrong existent before BUT now which to remove if you remove one wrong you're fucked )

 

then run from telnet command :

wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/servicelistreload?mode=0

If I'm not wrong that is even the command run after you install a updated channel list .

[Pr2]

Yes indeed but anyway your method requires a telnet access.

For newbie it is then better to mention that they open up there browser and type:

Right did not known that one thank you (added it to my personal E2 manual)

 

Just to help a bit newbies here a file list you find on a running stb (mine at this time is openatv 6.2 so DEV self build very experimental version ) this list is were the channels are directory /etc/enigma2

The files You best all remove before are :

userbouquet.dbe00.tv
userbouquet.dbe01.tv

userbouquet.stream_zwitserland.tv

The files who maybe removed but not really needed since they will be all overwritten when you restore you're personal files are :

bouquets.radio
bouquets.tv
lamedb
lamedb5

When You backup a channel list (actually do a own made pure file copy the only files you need to do from the example running stb i started with) are:

bouquets.radio
bouquets.tv

userbouquet.stream_duits.tv
userbouquet.stream_engeland.tv
userbouquet.stream_iptvtest.tv
userbouquet.stream_sport.tv
userbouquet.stream_zwitserland.tv

I know ity's maybe boring but nice to now if you wan't play around with you're own very personal channel list with even iptv channels used with base E2 player.

Hi,

First of all, I'm back with my drivers problem:

Yesterday I have replaced only the dvb-bcm.ko file, without any change.

So, today, I have replaced ALL the files in the root/lib/module/.#.#.#/extra/...directory with an older version (vuplus-dvb-modules-vuduo2-3.3.8-4.4.3-20140424) but the receiver doesn't start, it remains on the 1st spash screen and that's all.

So, back to the original files from 6.2...

Have I done something wrong?

 

Thanks, and I really would like to solve this before going into Pcmcia Viaccess cams problem.

[WanWizard]

The Duo2 uses kernel version 3.13.5 in 6.2-release. Kernel modules are version specific (and even need the same kernel signature) to work, so you can't use 3.3.8 drivers in OpenPLi 6.2.

[Raybobo]

Ok, I'm back here, I don't won't to fill the v7 post as I am not using 7 now.

So, yesterday, I have tried v4 as old as 6, but I still have the same crashes, as the kernel is always 3.13.5

I don't no what to do, or waiting maybe if Erik may do something on the side of Vu+?

Without this, I am lost...     and sad...

Just had another crash now, without spinner, when switching to Rts1 (swiss) and only on the display the indication :

HBBTv by SwissTXT[REC]

and nothing to do, excerpt power button!

[Raybobo]

Back on my message up above: I have uninstalled this Plugin: Hbbtv, and, until now, yesterday night, no crash.

So, I hope that it maybe only a plugin creating this problem. What are you thinking of it?

[WanWizard]

Quite possible, HbbTV is always a bit hit and miss, it wouldn't be the first time some channels cause problems...

[Erik Slagter]

Yes that could very well be of influence.

[Raybobo]

Still having problems, and impossible to uninstall hbbtv, because seems that something else important depends on that, I would like to try with Original Vu+ image, but I need to know if I flash with it, what happens with all my records on Hdd?
