Vu Solo 2 Image upgrade?

Hi
Haven't visited for a few years as my existing setup has served me well since 2017.

I've used my box since about 2015. Initially on Sat.
when most sat connections died i started IPTV with mixed results, until i found a decent supplier via this site.
Support has always been spot on, so i dont feel the need to look elsewhere.

I have always used Openvix and until recently I was running 5.4.009 I noticed that i could not update/delete any of the plugins
I upgraded to 6.2. 011
Flashed as i always have done using the methods i learnt from this site.

Everything seemed ok , until i loaded my IPTV app via PUTTY.

Everything appeared to load correctly as it always has

I can see all available Freesat channels, i can display the various IPTV sections, LIVE EVENTS , UK News etc but if i enter a section it just displays a list of channel numbers and N/A after each channel number.

Has anyone had a similar issue?

It was suggested that i try a different image such as OpenITV ?

Not sure where i get this from? Is method of Flashing the same? Recommended version?

Can someone hold my hand please? LOL

cheers
 
Might help if we knew what putty was installing to determine why the bouquets appears empty.

OpenATV image if you decided to go that way and yes via usb.

I think openvix 6.2 uses python3 and if the plugin you are installing is XE you will require the python3 version as python2 version won't work on py3, use this command in putty for py3 version

wget -O /tmp/install.sh "http://xeev.net/files/ipk/install3.sh" && chmod 755 /tmp/install.sh && /tmp/install.sh

If you use XE for IPTV you have to install py3 version on that image of openvix
If you pasted the old command line into Putty it won't work

The new Vix image you have flashed will not run the old version of XE you tried to install.

You may have to remove the existing XE first then reboot and use putty to install the py3 version via command line I sent earlier

Serviceapp needs to be installed on any image using 5001/5002.

No need to do anything just install serviceapp and reboot box

Hi Found and tried serviceapp
no difference to my setup.
as an aside, i've been using the same app since 2017, and i have never had to install any other app after installing with PUTTY
Cheers

The plugin still works on older images, you have put a new image on the box, which means you have to use the newer plugin
 
Looking at your providers script it looks like a modified e2m3ubouquet plugin and they have a py3 check in the script so it looks compatible. Double check with your provider it is py3 compatible
 
..... and it will remain reliable if you stick to ATV 6.4.
Most other images are now python 3 and the plugin author would have to update it to be python 3 compliant if you want a more modern image.

I know the ViX Team have got rid of python 2 altogether now, don't know about OpenPli.

So there's no older versions of Vix that use python2?

The op was on Vix 5.4 and upgraded to 6.2.

@sullydog if no Vix images utilise py2 you'll have to install openatv 6.4, not v7 otherwise you'll be back in the same boat
