Hi Tippguy2,

Will try that tomorrow, if something else happens tonight the wife will throw me out. I'll keep the head down until later.

Thanks again J

I'm sure 110% of males on this forum would agree with you

I keep getting a message that "a recording has failed disk full?" Even though there is only 1 hour of recording on it. I have tried various images, factory resets. After a reset it lasts about a week then this happens again. It also starts to lock up at the same time that this message occurs. Any ideas? ( I am using a 160 g internal hard drive)

Did you initialise the drive

Forgot to mention that but yes I did. The last time I went for factory reset, followed by hard drive initialize followed by fresh image... same result. Might stick an external drive on it. Will I need to disconnect the internal drive?

I'd say so, maybe your drive is faulty ? Or the cables to drive are loose ?, I recorded 5 hours of the kick boxing last weekend (to see 13 secs of Mc Gregor), anyways went OK, have a 500 GB internal

Are you using a USB pen drive as well as your HDD?

Sometimes if you have a HDD and USB drive plugged in it defaults your recordings to you USB drive which doesn't have much space.

I can walk you through setting to remount if this is case. Let me know.

How does one boot from USB media on an Optimuss?( using OS2+ here )
I created update folder on the root of a USB stick, plugged it in, nothing happens( no firmware update detected screen - tried this on 2 tv's - in case it appears so fast that display wouldnt notice it ), boots as normal. Tried USB HDD, same. Held Program - button down on bootup and screen goes blank, says "Booting...." on the display on the Optimus, screen stays blank indefinately and its stuck on "Booting...." for hours. Rebooting its still back on the same installation( i.e. German - the factory settings i reset it to )

I messed up the default install, figured could reinstall anyway but now its a brick.

If you have a HDD or a second USB stick, make sure to plug them out first.

no, dont have an internal HDD and theres no other USB connected, nothing connected other than power and USB im trying to install from( no sat cables or anything ).

Tried formatting USB in NTFS and exFAT32, neither work to boot it. tried the 3 diffferent USB connections, no joy.

*EDIT* also tried FAT32( not an option in windows 10 but via third party )

*EDIT 2 * Nevermind, its specifically a windows 10 issue, FAT32 is no longer a format option, reading doc for Optimuss says USB should be FAT32 so downloaded "AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition" ( crap name but works ) and formated it from there. I had tried some other tool to create a FAT32 partition but it wouldnt boot.
Working now.....sofar

I've been playing around the HDF image after many months of stable operation on OATV5. I have it in a pretty good place but I'm struggling with the MerlinMusicPlayer plugin. I get an error saying '

Warning
Some plugins not available
Extensions/MerlinMusicPlayer(No module named sqlite3)

Any thoughts?

Alternatively, any recommendations for a Music player plugin that works well and catalogues the music on an external NAS mounted as a network drive?

Does your NAS have Apps ? If so, has it got Plex?

Hey guys where would the best place to go to get images for the os 2? I've had a look on Sat TV help buy not much happening there and Linux support only seem that have the raw images from open atv.

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough ha.

Been using the Black Hole image on this a few days now and am very impressed, seems quite stable and appears to be a cut above anything I've tried from OATV and HDF.

As I do like a tinker myself I am currently trying out the egami image, even though I had a perfectly stable box running hdf. Only loaded it up last night so will have to see how I get on. I did try out the droidsat image although I had to keep re-scanning, think it was the vhannibal plugin which I hadn't set up correctly, so I may go back to it and give it another go as I quite liked the look of it.

Interested to hear how you get on with the black hole image, might give it a go if egami doesn't work out.

Anybody else try out some of the other images?

This is a very annoying issue. I sometimes bring home a few films on usb to put on my mum's OS3 plus. I ftp them over to the external USB used for recording on the box. But every time she goes to watch one it stops halfway through. Anybody know why this might be happening. Running OATV 5.1. All very stable otherwise.

Can this box still be purchased? It's not on FreeTV?

No they have the os2 with a usb tuner as the third tuner I emailed them a while ago they said the os3 has been discontinued.

Hmmm, Os2 doesn't even appear to be there now.

I got my OS3 from TVTECH - they are actually supplied by Free tv.

They have 7 OS2s on their Ebay site, see link below (it's the eBay mobile site):

I'm having this problem generally with my OS3. It almost always happens if I've recorded a HD channel.

Wrote to supplier and they suggested reformatting HARDdrive to Ext4, mINE was in NTFS. Too early to say if problem is sorted yet.

My other problem is just box locking up, and screen going black. Hard reboot is only way to revive it. Again it seems to happen while watching a HD channel. I think the RAM is filling up and running out of space. Waiting for redone on this from Open ATV forums.

Anyone else having this 'box crashing' problem?
