I would like to know how to create a script to reboot at 5:00 to restart the decoder, can anyone help me? I use the OPENPLI 7.3 on decoder vu + latest 4K

Why would you want to do that, simply restarting it without a proper shutdown isn't a good idea anyway.

Hi,

 

normally it is simple, you need only a script with the command reboot and a cronjob that start this script at 5:00, but @WanWizard is right this is n't a good idea.

you need at least a loop in the script that is looking if a record is running and if a record is running it didn't restart your box but makes a sleep and try it again if the sleep is expired

and that while as far as no record is running - is it that what you want ?

that is anyway doable.

Pike

I came across this topic after problems, that i had with my old VU Solo SE reappeared on VU Uno 4K.

 

The old box worked fine for quite some time, then all of the sudden it started to hang itself every single day. No firmware update helps, it simpy stops responding on the LAN, pressing button on remote makes the light blink, but nothing else happens so i must pull the plug to reset it. Then it works again for approximately a day. The box was used for streaming to clients over LAN. 

 

Then i bought new VU UNO 4K that worked fine for maybe a year or two, but now in the last two months it started to make completly the same problems as old SOLO SE. Firmware update doesn't help. How is that even possible?

 

OpenPLi 8.1-release (2022-01-20-release-8.1)

 

I was thinking about implementing daily reboot option if this would help in anyway, how to implement this properly?  I already have power socket connected to the internet to reboot it the hard way.

Regards
