Actually, let me clarify this statement, it isn't clear

"All works great - however, as per the subject, if we are watching a channel or a recording and the VuPlus starts or stops a recording the stream to XBMC crashes and I need to restart it."

XBMC stops playing the stream and just displays a single frame.... most of the time you can stop the channel and then start again and it will work straight away (though you have missed a few mins). Sometimes though XBMC crashes altogether and the Rpi needs to be power cycled (only happened once)

Good morning

I have no idea if this is an XBMC, Raspberry PI (openelec) or VuPlus issue (latest BH running on Solo2) - but I'll run it past everyone

I have a number of Raspberry Pi's throughout the house running openelec (various fairly recent nightly builds). This has a built in Enigma2 PVR client and I am able to stream from my solo2, change channels, record, watch recordings etc etc

All works great - however, as per the subject, if we are watching a channel or a recording and the VuPlus starts or stops a recording the stream to XBMC crashes and I need to restart it. (Note\; I have two tuners - it is running off a s*y dish)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is - anyone use a similar setup?

I'll run this question through some XBMC forums as well - however, whilst this is likely a problem on the XBMC side, it does indicate that the VuPlus is doing "something" with the stream to cause XBMC to crash... if the stream continued seamlessly then XBMC wouldn't even know a recording had started (or stopped)

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response, another piece of the jigsaw fits into place

Its funny, I didn't miss the channels when I didn't have them on the XBMC connected TV's - now I have them though...

Perhaps I have to convince the other half that the new VUPLUS box *and* S*y is what we should have =]

I have just taken the plunge and bought a VU+ Solo2 to stream Free Sat channels to various XBMC clients around the house - this works well. I cancelled S*y as I didn't really watch it....

My question though is what should I expect from my card now it is sitting in the VU+ using Oscam and CCCam - I'm using MrGmx's image with a white card in it and my entitlements seem to show various expiry dates, Feb and March (even though I only had 30 days left - starting about a week ago) - I keep seeing reference to entitlements being updated. Is this only with an ongoing valid s*y subscription?

As the card sat in the original box for a few days after I cancelled I'm expecting the entitlements to drop in around 30days (which I am fine with), but would really appreciate some clarification here from those with a little more experience...

Thanks
