VIX 2.1 Backup Image for Vu+Duo

[warbo]

This is a Vix 2.1 (uses openpli core) back up image for the VU+Duo.

Feel free to download it and give it a try. So far I've had no bugs/crashes or anything like that. If none of the below configs suit your setup just change whatever requires changing.

The image is setup from scratch using the following configuration:

Vix 2.1
Res = 1080i
Langauge = English
Network = DHCP
User = root
Pass = vuplusaus
Skin = MagicHD
Softcam = Mgcamd 1.35a set to autostart (config examples in usr/keys/)
TunerA = 10700
TunerB = 10700
TunerB = Loop through tunerA
Optus c1 scanned = 537 services found
Permanant Timeshift = Off


Plugins:
Imdb Details
Picture Viewer
Webcam Viewer
AutoTimer
EPGSearch
Merlin iDream
Merlin Music Player (highly recommended)
Webinterface = set to port 80 (change)
My Tubeplayer
Picture Player
MediaScanner
Audiosync Setup
CrossEpg (fully configured for C1)
Bitrate Viewer
Netcaster
Podcast
Weather Plugin
Picons (fully installed)
Ecm viewer


To install it:

Switch off the Vu+duo.
Extract the linked file to a USB stick and insert it into the front USB slot.
Switch on the Vu and wait approx 2 min until the LCD tells you to remove and reboot.
Done!

Go to menu/setup/system/network/adapter settings to see what your network Ipaddres is.

Here's the exact same image except it also has the lower rear usb port activated for the Sundtek USB DVB-T/C tuner.

Sundtek drivers and control centre installed.

Dam just configured a nice VTI image. Might be less headache's with this image

[warbo]

I must admit, I really liked the VTI image, but I found a few things annoying.

1: Often the 7 day CrossEPG would dissapear for no apparent reason.
2: The mgcamd start/stop script was stuffed. Any changes required a reboot.
3: Didn't like the recording/playback setup. No where near as good as vix/pli.

Vix 2.1 has handled everything I've thrown at it. Go on give it a try

well i might be biast as i am a member of team VIX but in my humble opinion it's up there with the best of them and the support team are second to none with fixes and updates etc.

You are right its a brilliant image I run PLi 2.0 on the Vu+Duo and latest VIX on the ET-9000 and they are on par with one another

[Duc998]

Yeah since I bought my box from warbo I've gone with the Vix nice image btw

Now this noob needs to get oscam running.. No issue's running oscam on the VIX image? Sorry for the noob question I've been out of the game for a while... Last few years been running nicely a cccam dm500 server and a few clients scatted around the place. Time to go HD so that why I got the vuduo+

There should be everything you need in there to get you going.

Thanks for the backup image warbo, saves me configuring it.

Ive been using openpli 2 image which i didn't mind but after trying this one i must admit im impressed.

If any one else tries it and sticks to it there is a patch to change the weather plugin from reading Fahrenheit to Celsius. Thanks to sandery for this patch.

[warbo]

With PLI when you pressed the "0" key on the remote it would switch between the current channel and the last channel watched.

Also, if you pressed the side arrows on the remote it would go backwards and forwards between last watched channels.

Has anyone been able to make this work in the VIX image?

Hey satboy, which file and in what directory did you replace in VIX?

[satboy]

Hey satboy, which file and in what directory did you replace in VIX?

Hi warbo,

Go to this folder /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/WeatherPlugin and replace the file plugin.pyo with the one supplied (plugin.py) and restart enigma.
I backed my original file up just in case
When you restart enigma and go back into the weather plugin it should be in Celcius.

Also noticed just then even though i have deleted the original plugin.pyo its been put back by the system and i have both files there but showing celcius, not sure why but it works.

Not quite right python generates a new pyo file from the py file

[satboy]

ahh that explains why the original file was back in the folder, i suppose its safe to delete the cracked file plugin.py?

Also does anyone no were it pulls its weather info from, reason i ask as im in Melbourne and its telling a different reading to what the the weather bureau says

Ahh righto. I didn't think to try that because when I looked at the .pyo file it was completely different than the .py one.

edit setup.py
def initWeatherPluginEntryConfig():
s = ConfigSubsection()
s.city = ConfigText(default = "Perth", visible_width = 50, fixed_size = False)
s.language = ConfigText(default = "en", visible_width = 50, fixed_size = False)
config.plugins.WeatherPlugin.Entries.append(s)
return s
Change default location and language to what you want restart enigma

The "0" key doesn't work, but the side arrows do - VIX v2.1.2.1 - 2011-04-03

So they do! I was informed by a trusted source (my old man lol) and I didn't check for myself.

It uses the google igadet api by the looks. Both locations I've tried are nothing like the BOM website either.

Yes i find its very inacurate when it comes to giving the Melbourne weather, i wish it would use the bom site for its information gathering
