Im also looking for a 28.2 list in .bin format.
Any tools available to convert aj's list from .dbs?.

Lots of irrelevant comments now by people not bothered to read all 51 pages and also the scaremongering is creeping in again.
From what I understand Sly Italy Hd cant be shared for quite a while now and sd remains on cs so if it was simple to apply anti cs measures to sd there then why have they not already done so?
As already said sit back and enjoy what is available.

Id love to know the effect this is having on sales of enigma2 receivers and the likes of the Vu+. In the future i can see the price gap between original and clones narrowing.

The basic package was never paired to the box, hell you can even hotswap the sly card from one sly box to another and the basic channels will clear i.e. if you had a box at home and one in you mobile home by the sea.

got it working thanks.

Just want to let others know that a username and password needs to be used after you find the drive showing up. In my case i left it empty the first time and managed to lockup my solo! so much so i needed to reflash my solo. the username was the default "root" and password was "dreambox"

Im running vix on both, i see samba there on both aswell so ill make sure they are running.

Ive been able to stream from my duo and my solo to my pc/netbook/iPhone no problem but how do i view my recordings on the duo from the solo?

Theres lots on streaming via vlc and streaming externally but little to be found on this.
Ive been to network browser on the solo but it doesnt find the ip of the duo so am i supposed to change settings on the duo?

Totally lost.....

made a swap file of 96mb on my 16gb usb and hey presto the backup worked.......

Do i leave the swap file in place now?

unfortunately it's almost impossible to gleam any useful information from that screenshot, we really would need a Debug log to progress further.

Do you know of a guide to setup a swap file Pheonix?
Tried doing it but it tells me swap cant be setup with a fat formated usb. Does the usb need to be in a ext3 format as i dont see an option to format the usb....

here ya go, what ya think.....

Welcome mate enjoy your stay here.

I think its fair to say that if you ask for clone support here you will be met with a frosty reception..

You mention a green light so i would think your solo started out as a v2 clone and had its chip upgraded to a v3 chip OR you were led to believe it was v3 and is only v2 as all images are reportedly working on v3 clone

Hope this helps

I hear what your saying but its not quite what i was asking.
To clarify my question why are solo v3's loading any image but v3 duo are not...
or should i be asking the cloners....if i could write Chinese that is ha

Ok so its pretty clear that you can load any image on to a V3 solo But on the other hand we have a V3 Duo that needs clone safe images or else it stays on starting.....

Why is this so and will there be a V4 (sometime) Duo that will load any image?

Quote from Daddy Bear

i used to get this all the time with my original solo, could never create a backup image, it used to just crash and then needed a reflash

i then installed a swap file and it works everytime now

I don't feel so alone now......
How do I install a swap file?

Cheers

Quote from cazuela

I know how many hours are spent at this but to get to the "root" of the problem( excuse the pun) so you and others can benefit from this experience...

I really have spent hours trying to make it work :ah:

Thanks for the advice, Ill try the backup of the backup image to see if the image has taken to the box as i suppose its presumptuous to think if it was backed up its fine....
Ill also give a fresh image a go and add plugins 1 by 1.
Im backing up to the usb thats mounted as hdd.I can see the backup folder in there using DCC.

Will report back

the last error referred to something like failed /phyton/....

But your right i need to take a snapshot of it next time.

Is it only me with this problem with vix?

So heres the problem,
I download a backup(VU Solo) VIX image from here and then i tweak it a little like change the bootlogo and add a couple of plugins like rats channel updater and one channel or the tv3 player, then i setup the epg and add the picon folder.

Then i go to the VIX section and select image backup and try and do a backup.....It will start fine and then just fail and give some errors. Then when i restart the solo it sometimes wont boot because the backup has somehow corrupted the image! Or if i go to try and backup again after a restart it will crash.
This only happens with vix and I have no problem backing up an open pli image using backup suite.

I only managed to get vix to do a backup on my duo once without fail.

Its a pain having to start from scratch to flash vix back after trialing another image.
What am i doing wrong??
