Black Hole 3.0 Vu+ Solo 4K UK Ready Backup By master G help

I'm confused if I'm actually getting this working correctly. I have put the file onto my USB, turned off and on, updated, rebooted but still the same splash screen, no channels etc. Can anyone help, i've had this box five days now and I still can't watch anything!

I'm confused if I'm actually getting this working correctly.

I have put the file onto my USB, turned off and on, updated, rebooted but still the same splash screen, no channels etc. I've watched the videos and the front of the VU said updating / rebooting.

Can anyone help, i've had this box five days now and I still can't watch anything!

Looking at my box info it states the build of the firmware is 2015--11-05-master

Is there something I'm missing here?

Hi Master G, I sucessfully flashed the original Black Hole 3 onto it yesterday.

Today I am trying your backup image, however when it reboots it shows exactly the same screens as the original Black Hole i flashed in the beginning.

Thanks for that Master G. It 'seemed' to have worked but something strange has happened. I did everything that you said. When the box rebooted I saw your splash screen and it looked like it had worked but then the VU disconnects from the TV once the splash screen disappears.

The VU is still on though as you can see the channel name on the front of the VU front panel, I try to go up or down a channel and I get the following message on the front of the VU box -

file/etc/multiquickbutton/quickbutton_channelup.xml not found or file/etc/multiquickbutton/quickbutton_channeldown.xml not found

This is Strange. I've tried rebooting but once your splash screen disappeared it makes my Samsung TV have no signal from the VU - even though the box is on. I can still change channels on the remote and can see the changes as it is on the front panel of the VU but it totally disconnects my TV. When I flick the switch on the back of the VU to turn off and back on I get the splash screen then the same happens.

Got it working Master G, my Samsung is 1080i.

Your instructions on doing it blind worked straight away.

Do you know the up/down/left/right buttons to select channels on the remote still don't work though? Something is still not right, epg button doesn't work also. Your menus look different to mine. (mine seem to still be original black hole)

Also some plugins are not available.
Extensions/ondemand (no module named lxml)
Extensions/cooltvguide (no module named coolpico)

Thanks for all your help so far Master G.

I have added the cool epg guide and multiquick button.

I'm still not sure where I find the telnet settings. I don't seem to have picons either.

Also, there are still issues with the different in graphic displays -

You have to telnet into your box, you can telnet from [for example] windows. Telnet is not enabled in windows by default, but to enable it, in windows, ctrl panel, programs and features, turn windows features on or off, select the telnet client checkbox, ok. Run telnet by [for example], start/run/ type telnet.
Another option is to use VUCC ....... http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=309
And so on .....

Thanks for those, problem is i'm using a macbook.

Ok, I seem to be getting somewhere. Never realized this would be such a steep learning curve but i'm connecting to the box now by telnet and through filezilla.

Little by Little eh!

I have transferred the picons over and they have started appearing on the screen display :)

I'm still not sure about Ondemand, what exactly does this do and where is it found please?

When I click onto the epg button, I can see the channels but there is no now and next, It shows no details of programs, only the channels.

I'm still having issues with the colour of the menubar, it's still in it's original colour, photo below:

Also the channel up and down button, everytime I zap it brings up the epg. I've gone into cool tv guide but there is the only option to program that button is to do with the epg and no setting to turn it off.

Master G, Thanks for your continuing help but I now have another things I have issues with.

Everytime I go up and down channels with the channel buttons on the remote it ends up going into cool tv guide, is there no way to stop this happening?

I have also tried to download the blackhole epg, and it looks like it downloaded but then when I go go the epg guide there is no information apart from the channels I am viewing. ! I did not try crossepg as I thought I only need the one, correct?

Also the size on the Cool easy guide, it comes up small, please see below.

Sorry for all the Q's mate.

Still stuck on the above points.

I have got Oscam up and running though.

I can't seem to edit the above post but the only thing I currently now have issues with is the actual size of the Cool TV Guide.

It just appears really small and doesn't fit the correct width of the TV. Any ideas why? Everything else is fine!
