    Could not create lock file when I try to install that, i'll reflash and start again. I'll then install the addons panel.


    Thanks

    Reflash seems to of done the trick, on the addons manager which seems like it'll be really helpful.


    Thank you again for your king help Master G!!!

    Hi Guys,


    I have been using the same VU+ Duo for a couple of years with no problem at all, last week it froze with starting...... on the main screen of the unit. After trying a number of things I re flashed with the most recent version of black hole. I've had to start again with uploading CCcam which I'm trying to do but it wont download correctly. When I FTP the file over it tells me there's no space on the device, could someone tell me what this is caused by please or how I can go about fixing the issue.


    Thank you
    Jak

    Hi All,


    Hopefully a quick and simple question for someone, I currently use BlackHole and find it great, works fine and really easy to use. On the other hand a friend of mine uses Vix and is having issues with certain things so wants to change to BlackHole.


    How easy is it to change from one to another, could someone point me in the right direction where I can download the file to reflash the Vu+ duo to the latest version of BlackHole.


    Thanks in advance,
    Jak

    Been and purchased a long enough Ethernet cable and plugged it in, works perfectly, no glitching on the channels ( I had a small amount previously with wireless ). Now arranged for an engineer to come and fit a socket to get the router moved.


    I can only assume that the router being as far away from the vu isn't getting a signal well enough? I'm using an official VU+ wifi connector as well.


    Thanks again to everyone for your help.

    Thanks Master G, i'll try that then disconnect as you suggest, i'll let you know how it is after trying to go back with the wireless option.


    May help others if they get the same issue I guess.


    Thanks

    It's so frustrating that It worked absolutely fine, I've changed nothing now nothing.


    I'm doing to try and get a wired connection it's just at the minute my vu and router are about 10m away from each other! If that doesn't work i'll make the Vu into a plantpot or something.


    Thanks

    Ferdi, do you mean on DCC? If so it doesn't come up with my box at all?


    For some reason my boxes IP address cannot be found anywhere which I assume is either a setting or fault somewhere? It's like there's no signals being sent from my box for anything to be able to connect to it?


    Thanks

    When I use the link Annie, it doesn't come up with my VU+ Duo, just the router, my laptop and mobile phones within the house.


    When I opened the ini file in the DCC folder they all seem correct, Dream IP, is what's in IP on adaptor settings and gateway the same as my router IP, the local IP is what my laptop is.


    The wireless network will now not connect at all, whether I type in the IP or up DHCP. So frustrating that it was working, I didn't change anything (that I know of) but now it doesn't work.


    I'm thinking maybe start from the basics, I did a factory reset yesterday and started again, still didn't work. I'm hoping one of you will tell me I've been really blonde and done something very simple!


    Currently I have my settings as
    Use Device : Yes
    Use DHCP : No
    IP Address 192.168.*.* - (The IP I've used since I had the box) I've also read elsewhere to try 100 or 150 but no change.
    NetMask : 255.255.255.0
    Use Gateway : Yes
    Gateway : 192.168.0.1 (This part seems fine - On DCC the green line goes to this)
    ESSID : My Router Name
    Encrypt : Yes
    Method : WPA
    KEY : Password from my router


    Then it also states the ip, netmask and gateway again.


    As always appreciate all your time and help :D

    Will the direct crossover still work OK with it being used wireless, I have no wired connection?


    I've tried both DHCP being enabled and disabled, that alone doesn't seem to make much difference, still get the same error.


    Thanks

    Thanks Annie,


    I downloaded this and it also says the same IP that I've got typed in on DCC.


    Any other safe reliable programmes that I can FTP with? Other than DCC & FileZilla?


    Thanks again to everyone for their help.
    Jak

    Sorry,


    Using Blackhole 2.1.0.1


    I seem to have an issue with FileZilla, I use it for work it just picks up my work details and wont remove them without resetting things (technical terms lol) use it to send files to our website.


    Is there any others oth

    Hi Guys,


    VU+ Duo been working fine and I've had an issue with the CCcams I have installed so been asked to re FTP it to my box.


    I've tried to log in using DreamBox Control Centre using all the same details but I'm getting an error.


    "Error 10057 in function Send
    Socket is not connected."


    I've checked the IP Address in the settings and they match exactly.


    Any help would be much appreciated.


    Thanks
    Jak

    So sorry to ask such a stupid question, I've looked everywhere to see where I (or my little one) could of turned this setting on. When we watch any channels there's a voice explaining what's happening I assume for the visually impaired.


    As I said I've not realised I've done this and can't find out where I can deactivate it?


    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Master,


    I've saved and TFP the file into var/tmp, I can see if transferred but when I click green,, yellow then down to manually install ipk packages it still states nothing to install, you have to upload an ipk package in the /tmp directory before you can install Addons.


    Thanks Again
