- ViX Team Device Manager - This enables you to choose where you want to mount USB Sticks, USB HDDs, etc. This can be found in Menu -> Setup -> VIX -> Device Manager. Please also note that USB / ESATA devices NEED there mount points setup in Device Manager (green button whilst in Device Manager) in order for them to work correctly.
- ViX Team Image Manager - This enables you to backup and restore your image (nb, we are talking the whole image, not just settings). This can be found in Menu -> Setup -> ViX -> Image Manager. You can choose where to store your backups to, either HDD or USB. /media/hdd/imagebackups or /media/usb/imagebackups folder (setup by pressing menu, whilst your in Image Manager).

- ViX Single EPG (with channel preview) - The is new and unique to vix, after you open the ViX single EPG (short RED) you can view the 7 day epg for that channel, now to see another channels epg, either use the Channel up/down buttons on your remote or just key in the channel number. if you want to preview the channel your currently viewing the EPG for (ie you want to see what the current program is like) just press 'OK' on your remote, this will change to that channel showing you the program in the small video window. if you don't like it, go find another channel to preview by keying in new channel number (or up/down buttons). or if you do like it and want to go fullscreen on it, just press 'OK' again. but if you feel you want to return to the original channel you where watching (whilst still in ViX Single EPG) just press 'EXIT" button, this will return to where you where before you entered ViX Single EPG)

lol fair enough
Hi,
Ok, it might not annoy anyone else, but I have the ViX Team Spinner appearing in the top left corner nearly every 30 mins.
It is more annoying than the annoying station water mark.
If it can be turned off, then it is certainly a good reason NOT to use their image.
So, is there a way to turn it off, or do i just go back to black Hole images?
Thansk,
Rob
You must have something setup incorrectly. The spinner should only appear when the duo is busy with something starting up. That said, you can turn it off
Menu > Setup > System > Customize
Set "Show animation while busy" to no. Read post 1
also try setting up a swap file on a external USB stick.
So we should turn the attachment system on just for you because you are a member of Vix team ?
If this is so difficult (seems to work for every other person here...most I am sure of who dont have your level of technical knowledge), you could just use your own hosted image by putting image code in front of it like the example below.
eg, [img]url of image[/img] . But then you have already done this at least twice in your original post, so I'm not telling you anything new
absolutely not and i would not ask you to either, i did not include images as the way i read the rules it was not permitted. and i certainly did not want to step foul of the rules. as for the VIX logo honestly i forgot it was there i was more concerned with getting rid of all the screenshot images. also at the time i posted that image i was on a mobile web and walk style dongle for my internet and could not spare the time nor bandwidth to upload the images to a external site.
Fair enough. No, you are not breaking any rules hotlinking images such as what you have done with the vix image etc, by all means, if you have some screen shots on your own site there is no problem hotlinking them in to your post. You didnt have to get rid of them if thats what you did for that reason. No problem with that, though images only last as long as they are hosted at that site. For that reason we recommend image shack, as any pics uploaded here go in to Austech's imageshack account. We do a similar thing with files, if they are uploaded to MegaUpload through our filebox they go in to our account and are hotlinked so users can download at fullspeed with no waiting.
Simply, we dont host files and pictures on our server for storage and mainly legal reasons. Our rule on this is :
3. Austech has disabled its attachment system for legal reasons and encourages the use of third party sites to host files and photos. See the sticky post in all forums in regards to this. Austech takes no responsibility for the content of third party link contents. Links to files or posts on other forums that have compulsory registration to view or download are not accepted and will be deleted. We use and recommend Megaupload for file hosting and an uploader has been embedded in to the reply box on threads. We recommend Imageshack for picture hosting and a uploader box is also imbedded in to the reply section for this reason.
Hope this makes sense and clears things up
fair enough i'll bear that in mind then next time i post a image etc.
so here are some screenshots of VIX 2.1 minus those that give our forum URL for obvious reasons.

Yep, it's easily the best image I've tested.
One bonus is the softcam setup. Simply add as many softcams into usr/softcam/ and name them whatever you like. There's no need to create scripts or anything, simply choose which cams you want to autostart from the autostart menu.
The order the cams start in is determined by the order that you have listed in the softcam autostart menu (from top to bottom).
Haven't tried this one yet.
No progress bars on the programs?

well were hoping to get VIX 2.2 released within days. i cant really give away any of the coming updates or new features ( otherwise the others may neuter me ) but you will be pleased with what we have to offer.
