vu+ duo

I have a duo running vix the last 3 years guys and it performs brilliantly

Recently i switched to an Android phonee and downloaded the vu app from google play

I can access my duo while on my home network via wifi

What i want to do is to be able to access the duo when outside my home network to be able to set recordings

I have a static ip from upc but need to open a port on my router to achieve this

When my access my router admin i am asked to enter public port range and target port range

Does anyone know what i should enter for these values?

I tried to enter 80 for both values but get an error thats says

"Error converting one or more entries"

Any ideas where im going wrong guys?

Have you set up port 80 already to access your router or other local device remotely? You could set the public port to something like 8000 and then set the local port to 80 for the ip of your duo. You would then access via your static ip followed by:8000 eg 10.10.10.10:8000

Yes, use 80 on the boxes, but on the router forward different external ports to the internals Vu's. E.g.

[PHP]External -> Internal
8080 -> Vu1-ip port 80
8081 -> Vu2-ip port 80
8082 -> Vu2-ip port 80[/PHP]

Actually, thinking about it. When you are accessing from the outside world, you should really be using https which means not using port 80. This prevents your password being transmitted as plain text when logging in remotely.

So in OpenWebIf config, turn ON https, and now port forward to that port instead of port 80 on the router.

Can anyone recommend a DVB-T usb tuner that works well with Vix?

Hi guys I've been getting a bit of freezing on my duo lately on some channels. Just wondering what the sat tuners setting should be? Simple etc..
Cheers mick

What is your setup? Single sat at 28.2? Multisat? Diseqc switched? Motorized?
Sat tuner setup type, assuming it was previously working okay and you haven't changed anything would have no bearing on freezing/glitching.
Has your dish been moved by the high winds recently? Or even slightly loosened? Is your LNB arm stable and solid? High winds can wobble the arm and cause freezing too.
What channels are glitching? Are they FTA or PayTV?

having a problem with my HDD .Its stops working and has to be initialized again .It was working fine until a few weeks ago.
What could be the problem or anyone the steps I should take to resolve the issue?
I only use it for recordings ,have a USB for EPG.

Thanks for the response guys

sony playtv, twin tuner.

Just ordered one on eBay. 45 euro delivered which is good for a twin tuner. More of these should be available now that the PlayTV is not compatible with the new PS4.

Got one in CEX Limerick last week for €32.
Swapped for a load of old DVDs. It works 100%.
Great having 2 tuners. Will see if nanostick works at same time...
I recorded RTE1 and 2 HD at same time no bother at all...

Works with no issues

Result..

Mr_D, I used an old Terratec T2 tuner with my Vu+ Duo running Black Hole in the past. It worked perfectly for me, with one minor caveat that I had to do a rescan of the channels every few weeks. Since that takes about 5 seconds, it wasn't a problem for me.

Recording etc, worked perfect. The only problem for me, was that, that particular brand of tuner doesn't work with OpenVIX.

Same here. The newer versions of VIX seem to be a little resource hungry. I regularly see the spinning VIX in the top left corner, even sometimes for the simple act of changing channels. The VU+Duo is under specified IMO, You'd swear that things like memory and processing power were rare and expensive. The VIX image itself has always been buggy. There are still bugs in terms of functionality and usability.

Did you ever sort out this issue, its getting worse for me, I have reflashed the box several times and set it up again from scratch but get the spinning vix within minutes. I tried enabling a swap file, have only essential plugins installed and have cacheflush installed, but still it freezes every minute, it also reboots every now and then, and interrupts recordings, the wife is on my case bigtime about it now, need to sort something out soon. is there another userfriendly image I could use? or is it possible to flash an old version of vix before 3.0 as it was perfect before I updated a few months back.

Flashed blackhole and setup but still getting periodic freezes, I guess it a problem with the box? anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?

Just to report that the Sony Play TV is working perfect for me with OpenVIX.

I didn't have picons, so I figured out the correct symbolic links required to get it working with the latest ocram picons installed from the feeds. I also created RTE1HD and RTE+1 images (attached)

Install shd.transparent-white no padding version as that is Super HD (XPicon) from Addons>Downloads>Picons

Commands for picons for Irish DVB-t channels:

cd /picon/
ln -s tv/3/3e.png 1_0_16_452_3E9_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
ln -s tv/t/tg4.png 1_0_16_450_3E9_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
ln -s tv/t/tv3ireland.png 1_0_16_44F_3E9_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
ln -s tv/r/rtetwohd.png 1_0_19_44E_3E9_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
ln -s tv/r/rteonehd.png 1_0_19_835_3EA_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
ln -s tv/r/rteone+1.png 1_0_16_83C_3EA_2174_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png

Just FTP them over after you have installed the picons addon. They will be somewhere like /picon/tv/r/ in flash memory.
