just a quick update the "file download error" was on provider side so thankfully that is sorted but the network card and plugins access still a problem if anyone can suggest a way to diagnose it, reviewed the logs on the box but not showing anything specific compared to a good log in april when all was working fine.Hi All wondering has anyone encountered this before as I am stumped what the problem is. I have a zgemma h7s been fairly solid but as mentioned in previous post tend to reflash every 16 months due to what look like software issues. Have 2 problems at present. Firstly the provider uses XE plugin and since monday getting a "file download error" on bouquet imports and eventually all his stuff disappears. my brother developed the same problem last week on a Vu Solo box. I think it may be cause by not maintaining latest XE plugin version.
Anyway it wont update on the machine just causes a gui reboot. so i decided to flash given my network issue i had seen.
I flashed firstly to 6.7.20 there today and once up did the willobuild command, all good box booted up and got to restore from backup and restore plugins. clicked yes and it took a while but came back it could not connect to plugins due to network connection and asked to reboot. I was left with a half install but noticed my network issue was still there.
efffectively when i reboot now the network link does not show as up on the device. i have to restart the network adapter and onscreen the link light appears green., this was the same when running the 6.6.3 image I had before flashing. I changed network cable and port in the router and no difference but network works after network restart. I can access the provider stuff and download new images but when i select download plugins it tells me I am not connected to the internet?
Started about 3 weeks ago, have rebooted the router and box many times since but no change. strange part is its boots fine which I recall willo mentioning before it needs internet to do that but adapter seems to die when up and needs restart but as mentioned even that has problems with plugins access.
any ideas of diagnosis would be good. I seen in earlier comments testing opkg update to see results and it looks fine but cant connect from plugins menu, download plugins still tells me no internet.
Have flashed a backup image i took when the problem started so at least up and running but will lost provider bouquets in a day or 2 again as I can seem to update the XE plugin.
