With OpenPLi 9.0 everything works normally. I've been testing it for a few days.

Unfortunately, the problem remained.

Unfortunately, the problem remained.

Just FTP newer file to your box, that's what I do from now on..

[WanWizard]

I am completely lost as to what the issue exactly is, and what a "newer file" is that should solve this issue.

 

Can someone give me a summary?

[ocean04]

Newer firmware 1.8.29209 is in post #64. FTP dvb-fe-avl62x1.fw to /lib/firmware/availink/ to solve this issue

Ok,

 

So the issue is: Edision needs to update the BSP for the OS Mio 4K plus with new drivers for the tuner?

Basically yes (also osmini4K and osmio4K). For me 29209 firmware works fine (I only have osmio4K, not plus)

Check, I've asked it to be passed on for fixing.

I use this box as client with fallback remote receiver activated. The transmission blocks after a bit time but not all the times. It is not a network problem. The server is a VU+ Duo4k. The two boxes have the last openpli 9.0.

I use also another box, a Vu+ Uno (old box), as client fallback remote receiver with openpli 8.3 and it works fine. The problem is not the server (Duo 4K).

 

I don't known what is the problem?

[littlesat]

Are you on WiFi? Do you use fallback timer option?

[dudule22]

I am not in WIFi.

I don't known this option (fallback timer).

I test also a reboot of the server DUO4k and it works fine with osmio + 4K.(client). I need very often to reboot the DUO 4K using the osmio 4k. No reboot necessary by using the old VU+ uNO,, it is very stable.

[WanWizard]

I don't see the difference, for the Duo 4K, a stream is a stream.

[dudule22]

In fact, it was a network problem. I was not exact, i used WIFI from internet box to DUO 4K (4 meters). For the 5 GHz WIFI (low band), i was on the first band (channel wifi 36), I test channel 40 and 44 and i stay on 44 with 400 Mbits/s.

Now, fallback tuner is working fine.

 

It seems DUO4K WIFI hardware doesn't detect now, the first channel 36. It was good before (it is not bad)

 

Thanks

Not every 802.11ac device supports all channels. Notably those for the Chinese market don't support 96 - 144, as they are not allowed to be used there.

 

Other VU+ 4K boxes have the same partial band support.

Hi again.

Now I have problem with motor (or cable or software). I have USUALS for all sattelites (80°E-34,5°W). Sometimes the motor get stuck and it doesn't move. The only possibility is to make it move again is to go to  POSITIONER SETUP to use GOTO 0 and after that the motor is moving normaly for some hours, sometime for days to get once again stuck. The motor is new, it was changed last year. I use OPENPLI 9 but is the same with all images. Last year, the cable was cut by workers who made a new roof but the SAT technician rejoined it. All SATs work normaly (on the main SATs I have 100% signal, never get signal loss or any other trouble also the weaks SATs work like always.) What can I try? (The last thing is to change the motor).

Where does the motor get stuck? What satellite position(s)? What is your due south satellite or center satellite?
What size is the dish antenna?
What is the make/model of motor?

I moved your reply from the Quote.

At any position (randomly).13°E is my zero. Is the same moving E or W, sometimes it get stuck. It is the same, movimg from 13°E to 16°E (close SAT) or 28.2°to 80°E (apart SAT) or 5°W to 30°W (middle SAT). When it get stuck I have to select a chanel from HB (13°E) which is my zero and I have to go to POSITIONER SETUP to use GOTO 0 and than the motor will move E to W or vice versa for some hours, days...

I doubt it is the OpenPLi image because I have motor(s) and do not have problems as you describe. Most likely, the problem is the cable, the motor, or the way you have the motor setup in the OpenPLi image. The dish is small enough to where it should be easy to turn. My guess is the cable.

[Jamo1700]

Write me something about: the way you have the motor setup in the OpenPLi image. What should I try?

 

If I put a linear amplifier where the two parts of cable are connected (where the cut cable is rejoined) can I solve the problem? I read somewhere if there is a cable problem (cut cable) the first thing that doesn't work is USUALS protocol. If it is correct, I will try to use manual settings for each SAT. (I haven't try it yet).

 

Is there a factory reset for motor in OPENPLI? Or is it possible to delete (replace) some files in receiver which are in use for motor?

[el bandido]

OpenPLi or really any fta satellite receiver does the same thing when it comes to a motor.  A number for a location such as 30w is sent to the motor. The electronics in the motor has the exact location for 30w, so the rest of what happens is in the motor and not in the receiver.

Look in your motor manual for reset steps as there is not much you can do with the receiver. You can do some stuff in Positioner setup, but there should be a motor reset process for the motor. Information on motor reset will be in the manual for the motor.
 

The cable between the receiver and motor has to be of good quality else the system of sending a command and the motor moving will not work.  A cable can show a good signal from the satellite,  but still be bad in the eyes of the motor.  Any cuts or splices in the motor cabling can cause problems. Nothing should be installed between the motor and receiver except a grounding block.
 

I use a mix of USALS and diseqc 1.2 commands to move my motors. The first thing I check when I have problems like you describe is the cabling between the motor and receiver. How much problem it is to replace the cable will vary from house to house. In the United States, we don't really have fta satellite installers, so we have to do our own cabling and dish motor setups.
 

You may try to use diseqc 1.2 commands and see if that helps. Else, replace the cabling between the receiver and motor.  This is my suggestion based on it being cut by someone and the problems you describe. Pretty much, The problem is either the motor or the cable that runs the motor. If you replace the cable, make sure to use Solid copper center conductor type and not copper clad steel.

I discovered this: If I have SAT antenna for example pointing 16°E it moves E and W perfectly. If I go to DVB-T and then I go back to 16°E it is still working perfectly (moving E and W), but if I have SAT antenna for example on 16°E and I want to go directly from DVB-T to any other SAT (except 16°E) the motor is not moving. (Switching from DVB-T to any other SAT except the SAT where SAT antenna is currently pointing the motor is not moving.)

I still have the old motor and I connected with a cable (in my room without SAT antenna) and I repeated the same pattern the motor was moving. (For example: 30°W -> DVB-T -> 9°E) the old motor was moving without any issue. The new one (on the roof with SAT antenna) doing 30°W -> DVB-T -> 9°E it gets stuck.

 

Now I will make another test with old motor...
