Your first post suggests you're using freesat, now you say you're using freeview??

[WanWizard]

What part of "You need to install PAU on a Vu-Zero to patch the driver as it is sold as a zapper" don't you understand?

[ccs]

I think the OP is new to OpenPLi, so.....

 

 

Correct: only on PLi one has to install that plugin (PAU) from their feeds. Other 3rd-party images have it installed by default.

 

 

[WanWizard]

The OP has asked this same question in another topic, where he has already had this answer, but contests that this is needed. 

 

And yes, we don't install it by default because it is against the law in some countries (where you have to pay tax on devices that can record).

just looked at my first post  ?   and cannot find  the word  freeview ????   BBC  is mentioned in my first post if that's what you mean by freeview 

i was always under the impression  freeview  freesat terrestrial  where the same thing ---  oh well you learn something new every day i suppose

You need a satellite dish for freesat, a terrestrial aerial for freeview.

That is a better reply than "it always worked so I don't need it".

 

You need it because the VU Zero (a few other VU boxes as well) is sold as a zapper and not as a PVR, so WITHOUT the ability to record. This is done to lower the price, as in some countries (like the large German market) you need to pay a tax on devices that can record. An OpenPLi image is configured with the settings and drivers from the manufacturer, so with it you can't record.

 

If you live in a country that doesn't have this tax (or you don't care about the law), you can patch the drivers by installing the PAU extension, which we provide as an optional plugin.

 

To install, press the menu button, select Plugins, press the green button, open "extensions", scroll down until you found "pau", then press "ok" to install it. When done, restart the box.

Many thanks got there in the end         all back to normal now   ---  had no idea what PUA plugin was -- thought it was something to do with IPTV

it was a few years back when i flashed openpli  so must have known about it then ?  was it called something else  ?  

also sorted my single epg red button from hot keys       1 singel epg.jpg   123.45KB   0 downloads  2 green button start recording.jpg   114.68KB   0 downloads  3 now recording.jpg   117.7KB   0 downloads  4 record file.jpg   68.56KB   0 downloads

many thanks to all your input

Looks like invalid data in EPG data... Please stop enigma2... remove epg.dat and restart enigma2...

[littlesat]

In develop this issue seems already been solved... - at least that E2 does not crash anymore on invalid EPG data.//

Maybe we could consider to cherry-pick this one to release 6.2

littlesat    thank you so much!

[FRAP]

Removed the EPG and the green screen is no more! Thank you for your help.

Good to hear. No software should crash on invalid UTF-8 sequences, it doesn't make sense.

[littlesat]

Indeed but we need to know here if the data did come from the transponder or the xmltv epg?

[Erik Slagter]

I don't believe EIT uses UTF-8.
