*edit* never mind this was answered on another forum, I stupidly had the wrong version of XBMC installed, it needs the PVR version (which I didn't know existed)

anybody setup the Duo with XBMC?

I have a HTPC upstairs and was trying to get this setup to be wife friendly as I can get it working through Tuxbox but it only gives a list of available channel lists

I tried the following (2nd post down)

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?16572-XBMC-PVR-AddOn-for-VU

but when I try to install the zip I get an error message in XMBC that the plugin has an incorrect structure

Has anyone accomplished this? can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

In Manual Scan scan a single TP for your local transmitter set your bandwidth to 7mhz(I had initially used 8mhz but had no luck on my 1st scan) and see how that goes for you.

@ Salteedog, when I use 8mhz I get nothing even though it is the published Frequency step :-/ I need to use 7mhz...Strange!

Make sure bandwidth is set to 8 MHz - it may be defaulting to 7 MHz.

The saorview frequencies are here

I'm on Maghera - so that's channel 48 which is 690 MHz.

Sorry guys - I'm not 100% certain what you mean. So I shouldn't do a full scan but should do a single frequency scan instead, right? I found this website and Three Rock is listed as 738 MHz so I take it that this is the frequency I should be scanning?

I'll try this when I get home but should this frequency not be scanned as part of the full scan tho?

Well it should work on a complete scan, but scanning the one freq is obv. quicker,and leaves less things to worry about. I think it's in kHz, so you put in 738000 for three rock. Attached is my bouquets for Three Rock and 28E, if that's any help.

Both webinterfaces will work .. as they use different ports as you stated.

Do you get any errors when you try to install it ?

Here is a link to an ipk of the webinterface
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mg4jz8

Hi, no errors on install.

When I navigate to the port I have set, I get a

[B]No Such Resource[/B]

     File not found.

error
I attempted to uninstall (it didn't seem to remove it from the plugins list)

I ran the ipk from the vix installer (no error) same issue when I navigate to the port set.

Robxxx7 · 04-05-2012 07:17AM

Did you change the port of the webinterface or have you left it as the default port 80 ?

Yes, I changed to to a different port, and only get that error when I go to that port.

Robxxx7 · 05-05-2012 02:47PM

Have you done a port forward on your router to this port as well ? Also check to ensure you're firewall isn't blocking the port

Hi, I haven't, but I am attempting to access this from within my own network.

As a test, I have swapped the ports of the webif, and the webinterface, and the same issue occurs with the webinterface, and webif works fine.

I see, many thanks. Why is this channel available? Is it going to be part of the Free to view or free to air line up? What about all the other Irish channels?

SalteeDog · 14-05-2012 08:13AM

Sky are making it available on 28e for their Irish subscribers same as the other Irish terrestrial channels. I doubt very much it will ever be Free to Air on 28e given rights issues (RTE certainly cannot afford to buy rights to broadcast to 100 million people across UK and Western Europe). It will be FTA on Saorsat though on 9E.

So is the current effort (1270) just for testing purposes?

SalteeDog · 14-05-2012 09:29AM

If it was coming in unencrypted then that was just for testing. I understand it is officially going on the Sky EPG today - at which point it will certainly be encrypted.

bernard0368 · 15-05-2012 07:10PM

Fairly new with the set up of the Vu+ duo, all has gone well, uploaded Vix have the bouquet set up, receiving all the FTA, BBC etc. However I cant get the rte,s etc. I have the Nova wintv connected the plugin downloaded. It shows up in the tuners. All i get is the radio channels when I scan.
Am I missing something?

New Vix available:

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?18171-New-VIX-Image-Vu-Duo-Version-2-4-15-05-2012

OpenViX released to all members!

OpenViX, what is it you ask?
Due to the time its beentaking between image releases as a team we've decided to give access to betareleases and the very latest builds to all members. This way all ViX users can try out all the latest features etc...
For the time being there will builds as required, containing fixes as needed,at some point in the future we hope and plan to have automated nightly builds.

Where do I download OpenViX?
OpenViX can be download from www.openvix.co.uk

Users can check the stability of builds be looking at the stability icondisplay @ OpenViX.co.uk, you'll see a green icon for stable, red for un-stableand amber for updating. All users please notethat the green for stable icon in a new build doesn't automatically mean thatthe latest build is stable, there could still be an issue and if flashed yourreceiver not fully usable, worst case your receiver may not boot, in the eventof this happening please post on the forum ASAP so that a member of the ViX Team can mark OpenViXun-stable. Use OpenViX at your own risk.

If marked un-stable is doesn't necessarily mean that thelatest build/update is unusable, it could be that we've updated some fixes oradded un-tested features. If you would like to test un-stable updatesyou will need to turn them on. Menu > Setup > System > Online update> Set allow un-stable updates to yes.

OpenViX is a new experimental venture for the ViX Team, so the format may change as progress evolves. OpenViX Discussion thread HERE.

All Xtrend usersplease be aware that the Xtrendimages are still on kernel 3.2, we will be upgrading to 3.3 in the very nearfuture. Please do not load kernel 3.3 drivers to these images.

kierank01 · 15-05-2012 08:46PM

so what does this mean in terms of a feature stable non crashing image release?

is it going to be like version 2.3.245359821a is great, but version 2.3.245359821b causes the universe to end?

SalteeDog · 15-05-2012 09:25PM

@bernard0368. Check out post #2219 above.

bernard0368 · 16-05-2012 06:20AM

@ salteedog, I had seen this earlier when I ran into the problem first. I have tried a few variations but all I am getting is the 18 radio stations.

"Sorted the after scan report just showed the radio sations, The Tv was listed in the bouquet "just scanned"

Thanks

Guys
Quick question re PlayTV tuner.
Picked up one last night and after playing around for a while, think I have it working in my et9000 - aleady had a single tuner working.
Both tuners C + D appear in the tuner setup screen, I can scan on either one, and select whatever channel I want.
My question is regarding 'tuner in use' display, normally A,B or C highlighted. I started a recording on 1 channel and then switched to another channel, however while the channel changed okay, the 'tuner in use' still displayed tuner C - is that normal?

Have an ET9000 with openAAF image installed, but I don't think that matters.

SalteeDog · 16-05-2012 10:44AM

@Bernard. Yes that can be confusing - the scan report is longer than the space on the screen so the TV channels are hidden on it.

That is because tuner c is still being used as you can record a dtt channel and watch any other dtt channel off 1 tuner.this is due to the fact they are all on the one mux. As mux 2 progresses in the future with new channels then you will see a use for tuner d

givecredit · 16-05-2012 10:45AM

Yes, thats normal. All the current Irish Dtt channels are on one "Mux" so you currently only need single DTT tuner to record and watch different dtt channels. When 2nd "mux" starts up then the 2nd tuner will come into play.

the 2nd mux is currently testing today. If when you scanned your dtt channels you got 7 test cards as well as the tv channels, tune to one of these while recording RTE1, Then tuner d will kick in.

SalteeDog · 16-05-2012 10:54AM

Under VIX on vu+ Duo both tuners in use will show - i.e. the one you are watching and the one you are recording on. I think it highlights the one being watched though. Tuners not being used will not appear. e.g. 'A C' means I am recording (or remote streaming) on A and watching on C with B being idle.

white_westie · 16-05-2012 09:23PM

@irishchris, givecredit + SalteeDog

Thks for info, feel like a dork now, was doing this late last night, so not thinking straight.
When testing recording on 1 channel, I only ever changed to one of the standard channels to see if the 4th tuner kicked in - just never tried one of the test channels.
Just doing it now, and tuner D in use.

SalteeDog · 18-05-2012 08:35PM

For those running VIX on the Vu+ Duo, any feedback regarding the advisability or not of using a swapfile? I have encountered some issues while using timeshift (recording to a USB stick). On occasion while rewinding during timeshift the system hangs with picture freeze - not even accessible via telnet. Only recoverable by rebooting. This occurred most recently while watching Saorviw (RTE1) using a Nova-T DVB-T tuner (connected to the Vu+ through a powered USB hub). Issue may be related to the DVB-T stick in some way - I am not certain it has occurred on the native DVB-S tuners.

Wondering if a swap file may help here?

This fix is for the BSOD(black screen of death with enigma restart) which some users had with Vix2.4 as a result of pliextrainfo in the vix night hd skin
