fat32 size limit

Re: fat32 size limit

dont read the whole thread but i had the same problem a while ago... formatted drive in windows in ntfs or fat, didnt work... new partition + formatted with the stb (hope you can do that)--> running fine...

but the recorded files should be splitted automatic if you are recording and get bigger size than 4gb.. every of my old boxes did this

hi

I agree with this, just a little addition: not specific for the VU+, but several brands of stb's still have problems with external hdds: not all brands and types of hdd work well or are supported, same about disk size ...

In short: perhaps try with another hdd (if possible and if you have one) ...

Re: fat32 size limit

Give the vix image a try. I had trouble I the past with blackhole dropping my mounts, Stuck vix on there and had no problems. If its a clone id go with vix 2.4 96 as that was rock solid when I had my clone.
If it still doesn't help, try partitioning and formatting to ext 4.

Similar problem to what I had. Wouldn't recognise hdd or would lose mount after reboot.
Flashed vix and no problems since.

i.ll try that vix image so. every tut i read they all seem to be with that so that must be the best. is there a tutorial on installing it on this site with links and stuff. got my vu duo plug and play so a noob to that part of the process.

oh then probably your hdd is not supported by the box !? check if any updates or fixes are aviable, thought there should be no problems with vu..

tested various usb sticks from 4 to 32 gb and hdds from 500 gb to 1,5 tb... only one usbstick (usb3.0) could not be detected by the box

where would be a reliable source to get the vix 2.4 96 image? i really don't wanna brick my clone.

also i heard that u should update the vu duo software(bootloader/kernel)? how would i go about that or is it not necessary

im assuming putting a new image on my box will not delete everything on my hdd installed in my box

when i go to info and about on my vu duo heres what its says
Hardware: VU+DUO(1200E6)
Dreamboxuk
Kernel Version: 2.6.18
Enigma: Nov 1 2011
Last Upgrade: Nov 5 2012 20:05:39

Then its just gives tuner and the detected hdd info
thanks

Re: fat32 size limit

First thing you want to do is make a full backup of your current image/settings. That way you can always just go back to what you had before should you be unhappy.
If you have a hdd save it to hdd and then copy it over to your pc.
Otherwise Just stick your usb In there, set backup location to usb and when finished copy it to your pc.. Also make a backup of your .cfg file so you can just ftp it back on when new Image is flashed.
If you have a v2 or v3 clone no bootloader update is required.
I'll see if I can find vix 2.4 96 later. Im on my mobile at the moment.

when u say make a full back up u just mean copy and paste everything thats in the vu flash memory to my hdd.
not sure what version clone i have not even sure there was different versions. is there a way to tell?
thanks i found a few on a couple of sites but i have to be a member of the site to see the link. im on enuff card sharing sites already. i joined like 5 before i came across here. this is by far the best one by a long long way.

sorry for being such a hassle! but i really need to get a new image this one is crashing like mad anytime i press the yellow button on certain menus enigma crashes and i doubt its one of the better images cuz no one has it.

Re: fat32 size limit

No mate. Go Into your menu and there'll be an option to backup your image.
It takes a minute or 2 and you should be able to choose backup location.
What Image are you using at the moment?
Look on the back of the box to see if there is a v2 or v3 sticker. If there is you're good to go.
This is a link to the official vix website with vix 2.4 96.

can find the backup is it in software management. there is a backup system setting there but when i click it. it finishes in about a second and before it says exection finished it says"tar: error exit delayed from previous errors" it lists a few other files and directory missing before its says that. it doesn't give me an opinion where to say the backup but there is a new folder(i think its new) on my hdd with 2 files called enigma2settings back up

forget that found out how to backup everything in advanced settings and where to save it to.


on open pli image at the moment.
yippee i already download that image from the same site earlier it was the only site that i was a member of that had the link. just wanted to make sure it was safe.

yeah theres a v 2.0 sticker on the back of the box

Re: fat32 size limit

Then bobs your uncle. Backup image andsave it. Then ftp your .cfg file to your pc to save yourself having to create a new one and also to save your lines.
Also wise to save you channel list.
Don't forget you'll be starting from scratch so you'll need to install cams, channel lists, etc.

thanks bud got it on the box no prob and pub my channel list on working perfect but i thought that the image came with the ccam already installed or that i would be able to find it in plugins but i can't.
where would i be able to find the ccam for this image
done a search on ****** for it but again i come across sites i have to register for.

btw this image seems pretty good compared to open pli thanks for the recommended


got it sorted finally find a site i was already registered on.
got everything working perfect

thanks for the help
