  • VU+ Solo 4K - OpenVIX - Oscam - Cable - How to guide

    Hello All,


    I am new to Enigma 2 and it really took me some time to figure out how to configure and scan the channels. I am documenting this so it will help a newbe like me in future.


    OpenVIX:

    1. Download the latest from here

    2. Extract the zip file to a directory say c:\Temp\OpenVix

    3. Copy the vuplus directory in to a USB Stick (Formated with FAT32)

    4. Plug the USB stick to VU+ Solo 4K box (front or back)

    5. Start the Solo 4k. It will ask to press the power button (which is present in the front side if you open the panel)

    6. Once the power button is pressed it will start to flash the box (Please do not disrupt when this is happening - box should be powered on all the time)

    7. Once flashing is done it will reboot (now you can remove the USB stick from the box)

    8. After booted up go through the menu to setup network and others


    Oscam:

    1. Download the latest from here

    2. Note down the Solo 4K IP address (Menu > Information > Network)

    3. Use a FTP software (e.g.: FileZilla) and connect to the ip address (username: root password: <just leave blank>)

    4. Navigate to /tmp (/var/volatile/tmp)

    5. Copy the .ipk file to /tmp

    6. Now go to the box. Menu > Setup > Vix > Install local extension

    7. Choose the .ipk - It will ask question to install say yes. GUI restart yes

    8. Once the box is restarted go to Menu > Setup > Softcam > Softcam manager. You should see oscam there

    9. Start the oscam by pressing green button. Also press blue so it will automatically start when you restart box next time

    10. Now from your laptop open a browser and navigate to http://<ip of vu+ box>:8888. This should bring back a web page. If that comes up then your setup is good



    N/C line:

    1. Download ccamtooscam exe file [You can get that by searching through the forum]

    2. Convert the c/n line and copy the text appearing in the text box

    3. Now again go to FTP client. Go to /etc/tuxbox/config directory

    4. Edit oscam.servers and paste what you copied in to it. Save it

    5. Now restart the box

    6. After box restarted if you go to :8888 the line should be displayed there


    Scanning:

    Note down the Network ID from your TivoBox if you have one or google for a NetID

    1. I am able to scan only using auto bouquet manager

    2. Go to Menu > Settings > Tune cards > Auto bouquet manager > provider

    3. Choose whoever your provider (for instance Virgin Media UK and your network id)

    4. Save it and then scan


    That is it. It should bring all the channels and arrange it beautifully. You can check this by using the URL in the browser http://<ip of the box>


    Skin:

    I went one step ahead to install a VM HD skin. You can get it from https://linuxsat-support.com/thread/126129-vm2-hd-skin/


    Hope this is of some help.


    Special thanks to MasterG and car123

  • VU+ Solo4K Cable Tuner - Scanning failed

    Thanks a lot for introducing me to another new world :)


    KODI 17.4 is freezing my whole box though. But will anyways keep trying to install the wizard.


    Now I am hugely temped to go with blackhole as you said it is stable - But after I figure this out.

  • VU+ Solo4K Cable Tuner - Scanning failed

    Havent tried Blackhole image. Is that any good?


    Tried OpenATV but did not proceed with it as it is mostly in German


    What is this ARES Wizard? what will it do?


    This is getting exciting :) this box is way better than my Amiko combo HD by million miles.

  • Which Image on a Solo 4K?

    Wow masterG - You are GOD of oscam :) this one worked perfectly. Finally I am able to access this using my browser :)


    Now I need to scramble to find out why my cable scanner is not scanning any channels (It comes back and said Scanning failed!).


    Thank you sooo much

  • VU+ Solo4K Cable Tuner - Scanning failed

    Hello All,


    I am newbie to Enigma 2 receivers. Bought a Solo4K and literally struggling with that :)


    Basically this is what I did:

    1. Flashed it with latest OpenVIX

    2. Installed oscam [Converted Nline to oscam and placed it in config folder]

    ISSUE: When I did http://<ip>:8888 nothing comes up!!!

    3. Went in to cable scanner - Set Network ID, Frequency to match what my Tivo box says

    4. It started scanning and said Scanning failed!


    Not sure what I am doing wrong! I am totally fed up with this box - It was piece of cake with my Amiko box :)


    Can someone please kindly help me to get my channels working please?


    Regards,
