Vu+Zero Arrival

It was a new image because you pressed the yellow button and downloaded from Openvix...:Smiley_wink:

I will give your file another attempt but it wasn't there when I went to image manager, said there wasn't any image to upload.
 
Found the problem.
The zipped file that you downloaded has to be in a folder named imagebackups. The receiver will not read the backup zip file unless is in that folder.Image Manager_Empty.webp

I will attach the file again in the correct format, and I apologize for the confusion. EB
 
Attached the backup image in the correct folder.
To install, download attachment, unzip the file and place the imagebackups folder on an usb drive. (Do not disturb or unzip the file inside the folder!) Then follow previous instructions for the Image Manager.

Worked like a charm EB.
 
Too cool EB, thanks for all the addons. My only issue, for the moment is attempting an automatic scan. I have configured my sat, simple and advanced, for Anik F1R but when I go to scan it keeps saying that it's scanning Amc 6. This is definitely only the first of many questions- by the way, this box puts all others to shame that I have ever tested.

It will also work if you extract the backup image from the .zip archive and copy the Vuplus folder and its contents directly to the root of a USB stick and flash it as you would any other standard image.

I tried that PR but it didn't flash, also attempted without extracting.
 
Not sure what I did but I can't get any service at all and the date is showing 1969? Working fine on my other receiver.
 
We tried extracting and loading the Vu+ file like is done with the Duo2. It will not work for some reason. Still looking for why it does not work like that....

Reload the backup and see if the time date gets restored.
You may save the lamedb file in etc/enigma2 before you reload the backup, then reinstall it after you reload and everything that you have scanned will be there.
You can do the same thing with the settings file in etc/enigma2. The settings file contains all of the receiver settings and the antenna settings.
Use FileZilla to copy and transfer these files. You will need to reboot in order to change the lamedb file, and you will need to hardboot by turning the power off (unplug or use rocker switch on back) after you transfer the settings file.

I dont have a Zero on which to test but when the forum is back online I will make a post in the dev room for some one to check it out.

el bandido thanks for the image,it loaded with no problem.i am going to play with it later and let you know.good looking.one more thing,you mention the lamedb file,does this apply to me too?
 
Yes. You can transfer the lamedb if you want to, but you may need to transfer the satellites.xml file that the lamedb was made with. Transferring the satellites .xml file in etc/tuxbox may cause the satellite editor to crash.
 
when i in stall the back up file and it reloads to the openvix image there is assign that come up saying, tune failed,but it disappear once i hit the ok button on the remote.i am just a little back here,where is the lamedb file?is it in the backup file?where can i get it?what it for?ok getting there.will contune.
 
The lamedb file is located in etc/enigma2. The lamedb file contains the channel information that is stored in the receiver. i suggest you forget about moving or trying to move this file until you become used to the system.

On a tv channel, or while watching a tv channel, pressing the green remote button once will give you the channels for the satellite. Pressing the green remote button twice gives you the satellite list. A lot of the remote keys may be set to what you want them to do.
 
This needs to be tested.

Extract the file and FTP it to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ViX

Let me know if it fixes the image backup issue on your Zero and if it does we will commit it to the GIT for inclusion in the image.
