GrogBuild Grogbuild 6.4 update?

[boardtc]

I have Grogbuild 6.4, build# 20220302 on my Formuler F1, last updated via putty.

A lot of channels have not worked for months and I only found out that the transponders have changed. The UDPs down in the drop down are out of date now. I updated the TP manually for BBC1 London - 10818 V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK - and it updates fine but there is an intimidating amount of manual updates to do with lots of new TPs to manually enter e.g. another for the BBC Red button, all the buoquets with entries to delete and move new scans to, etc.

Is there a latest Grogbuild I can move to that has updated things?

All advice much appreciated.

Thanks.

Grogbuild is no longer updated you would be better off installing willobuild on there which is python 3 and has all the latest updates and fully supported.

The bouquets are made by a plugin called AutoBouquetsMaker for lots of people using images/builds in the UK. There is a version on forum for people using OpenATV 6.4 on following thread (on post 11)
Plugins - AutoBouquetsMaker stand alone ipk's

personally I would just install a fresh ATV and the plugins and skins you need, Grogbuild is long gone now I am afraid

People get used to these custom builds where everything is done for them not so easy to setup from a bare bones image Mr grog.

Thanks for letting me know. It sounds like Willobuild is an equivalent custom build. A Google didn't find me installation instructions. What's the best thing to do?

Willobuild instructions can be found at WilloBuild - WilloBuild OpenViX 6.4 Series

Thanks for the link. Looking there is gives 3 steps:
1) FLASH USING PUTTY
2) RESTORE SETTINGS DURING WIZARD
3) RESTORE LINE AND TIMERS

2 and 3 suggest to me it's not a fresh install but an upgrade? Do these steps apply to someone like me overriding a separate custom build image?

It is a new fresh install, not an upgrade.
You are saving your settings and timers then adding them back after install.
If you have no lines or timers to restore, nothing will be backed up or restored.

I think you will find the willowbuild setup works similar to the Grogbuild setup, in that it creates a settings backup file that contains the willobuild settings, it then flashes vix on the box and you restore the settings backup to get the willowbuild setup.

Appreciate the advice. I gave it a go and twice it has stopped at the same stage with Putty closing for no reason:

On the Formuler box there is an option to restore the WilloBuild. Any advice is appreciated.

You have to have a usb inserted in the box before you start

I have a usb key permanently inserted. After both fails there is a system installed and showing channels, not fitting the screen correctly, etc, no bouquets but it's there. I'd just like to be able to run the full install without it crashing,

Just initialise it before you begin, this will format it completely, not sure where it is in the Vix menus but in atv it's; menu, setup, system, storage devices, initialisation

No space left on device means it can't see the usb device, use a different one, whichever one you use, you need to initialise it first

I initialized my one, just like you told me and it worked 100%. Do I need to do anything to it after it initializes?
