vu+ solo questions and support

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

Hi koppi

You can go directly to the latest version and as @aplok already said I suggest you to avoid upgrade.

Make a clean installation.
It's better.

After a successful installation you have to install some came as cccam or mgcamd as well as your favorites plugins.

Finally, do a full satellite scan or better you can upload a ready made list (first edited in your pc) of the satellites you are receiving as the Vhannibal settings for example.

I always prefer to install everything from the beginning avoiding to use a backup.

As about the tspanel and more space... I can't understand what do you mean

Tspanel it's a plugin that you can install and it will help you in many ways.

Hi Kalpikos
I will try to do it as you suggested
What I was refering to was ,If i remember correct, I was told to install a cfe file to provide more "space'' before I installed tspanel
This if I am not confusing everything

Hi koppi

I'm happy for you that everything is ok

Sometime it looks very complicated but when you handle it carefully then it can be very easy

I would just remind you to not overload your box with unnecessary plugins and addons because they can make it unstable and slow the performances.

Hi Kalpikos
To be honest I dont put many plugins in the reciever just those I use like Tspanel and setting Vhannibal autoupdate nothing more
Do you think I shall DISABLE those plug-ins that come enabled with Image that I dont use or I don't know what they are used for to be honest?

[kalpikos]

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

In my opinion, it's better to be disabled.

I don't use BH image now but I remember that generally there are many built-in plugins.

If you don't know what some plugins do or if there plugins that you will never use them, it's better to switch them off or uninstall if you can.

hello ,

this is the problem of the abundance of good solutions available in the linux wide free openworld !

if you close this openworld, the horizon is bounded.

if you open it: sky is a limit !

since ever, i have 2 operating linux distro on my pc:
- restricted : for daiily use
- open : for further testing and discovery

and as the distro (re)install is a routine,
it is easy to clean out and refresh this when overcroweded by too many not usefull pluging ..

this principle applies too for linux satbox:
- just enter in discovery mode,
- with good backup
- and apply the refresh install procedure within 3 months,
- with only the valuable plugins

enjoy

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

Have a vu+solo, the box I think is a few years old,
the firmware installed is bh 2.0.3
I also notice with this box, storage is very low,
is their any chance to bring this box back to life,
or has it had its day.

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

hi toby

I don't have a Vu+, but recovery should be possible with a serial nullmodem cable, in case usb doesn't work.

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

Hi toby69

Maybe the bootloader is corrupted.
You can try to flash the bootloader first and then to flash with an image.

[toby69]

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

Have flashed image 2.1.5

Then,

Loaded boot loader 2.0

Then flashed image 2.1.0

No u t***, only odd Greek web channel open,

Now thinking factory re-set required, !!!

The Solo is very limited on memory so it is important to set up a swapfile on Hdd or Usb in particular for BH Openpli requires far less.
Is this the box you were gettiing for 27.5 West? If so on the HD channels with BH you wont get any sound but no problem on Openpli 4.

Hope this helps.

... a bug from BH image?

I can understand why you have to install BH image

There are others images for vu+ boxes...

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

@aplok, ... hello ... ???

Because the BH images cant decode AAC-HC audio and this is what the hd channels have Openpli and other image can do it but BH cant, updated drivers could do it.

Re: vu+ solo questions and support

I flashed my vusolo with the latest BH 2.1.5 a bout 3wks ago
but Honstly I don't like it . too many crashes, , even when you change from channel to another, let alone using an addon or plug-in, this is a common problem with this new BH image as I read in other forums
Now seriously thinking re-flashing again with a previous BH image or change to openpli as many suggested here ,

Does anyone with this image have the same problem
thanks ...koppi
