Zgemma H7S Problem

    Hi Folks, I have a small but annoying problem with this box. When I turn on the TV, (the box is always on), the only button on the remote that works is Volume +/_. When I reboot from the white button at the back, everything works again. I did change the reote batteries, but no difference. I am running


    OE-Alliance 5.4

    Firmware version:

    OpenViX 6.6.013 (2024-12-03-Release)

    Kernel / Drivers:

    4.10.12 / 20191123

    Tuners

    Any ideas?

    Dave

    You dont say the skin and why do you leave the box always on? Have you HDMI cec enabled?

    What is make and model of TV?

    It's an old Walker WP3913DLED, just 2 hdmi, no CEC as far as I can tel, and am using the default openvix skin. This has only began in the last couple of weeks, so maybe an update is the problem, but I can not link it to a specific update.

    why do you leave the box always on? Is it connected to the internet and can you use openwebif?

    Just never turned any box off. It's connected to the internet, (Lan cable),and I use

    openwebif from by PC to Update channel changes etc, on both my TV Boxes, the second being Octogon SF 8008. The same Channel lists works both boxes.

    Thanks for your interest BTW. I will put it onstandby over night and see if it maked a difference.

    I really need to know the skin you are using! go menu information about and should say skin. You can use openwebif's built in remote as well and powering off at rear is not a good idea. Use webif to do a restart gui and then a reboot if restart gui does not work. You can use terminal in openwebif to reset the RC code with telnet. You can download a plugin called remotecontrolselection, in system plugins. You can change skin to default, simple ten 80 is good. And you could flash an image to another slot using image manager and try openatv. Its possible the tv remote is mucking up the box.

    NB make sure epg is not stored in internal flash.

    If you are not sure don't mess as it may cause more hassle.

    merry xmas

    Thanks again swoofer. The epg is on


    1795.4 GB free / 1.8 TB (2.0 TB) total (/media/hdd)

    and I have found the skin,

    Simple_Ten_Eighty(1920x1080),



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,740 ✭✭✭swoofer


    That is a good skin, any results with uisng standby? And put box in hdmi cec mode, that has been know as a fix. There are others but I will wait.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 310 ✭✭daphil


    No good alas. It's not a huge problem and if somethingis set to record it works fine, even if I have to restart to view it. Thanks for the suggestions, if you have any more let me know, thanks.

    Just a quick update, in case anyone else encounters a similar problem.

    I decided to Flash the box with Openatv. This fixed the problem of having to restart the box every day, but was giving me problems with the epg.

    I then reflashed with the same openvix and it installed without asking me if I wanted to use setting backup. Now working perfectly, so go figure.

    Thanks to swoofer for suggestions,
