WilloBuild WilloBuild OpenViX 6.7 Series

If I select backup willobuild, is auto flashes boot partition 1 correct?

You can only flash slot 2 from USB afair.
Image manager always flashes slot 1, whatever you put in as target partition.
Multiboot is different on ET8500 compared to modern boxes.

yeah thats good as willobuild /vix is on slot 1


edit: reflashed vix full backup from openATV , then installed willobuild and restored my most recent settings all back again

I tell a lie. Image Manager does give you the option to flash slot 2.
Whether it works or not, I'm not sure.

Hi. I ran the updater and I have no info on the channel list. If I run the ABM it comes back with a message cannot read data. Any ideas

What image are you on? MENU > INFORMATION > ABOUT

The updater only needs to be run after an online software update or you have restored your own settings backup to a clean flash.

I did an online software up date and then I lost the info for the fta channels so I thought I would run the abm but I was getting a can’t read data message afterwards so I then ran the Willo updater

The box is a h7s.
I pressed menu-set up-system-software update-software update

There's nothing in the updater that will affect either ABM or EPG.

Hi is that the info you needed mate

 

[Abu Baniaz]

How many storage devices (usb, HDD, micro SD) are attached to the receiver?

Post a screenshot of Menu, Information, devices.

 

[Monkey snr]

It says it’s full but I’ve just looked at the recordings and there is nothing there.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

You didn't answer about how many devices you have.

Can you please issue this command using Putty/Terminal and post back the results. Might be an idea to use the windows snipping tool.

df -Th

Lower case d
Lower case f
Space
Minus sign
Capital T
Lower case h

Your storage device is not mounted.
Blue , ViX , Mount Manager.
Mount the device again. Do not format/initialise it.

Ok thank you. I’m doing it now but it says it fails I tried a few times so I shut the box down. Unplugged it and plugged it back in and now it’s not showing at all. Do you think it’s faulty. It’s been plugged in for quite a few years

 

[Monkey snr]

I’ve moved it to the upper rear usb and it’s now showing again but it fails to mount. Is it worth formatting it and starting again. If so could you tell me how to try it. Thanks

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Are you doing this with Receiver running?Is the HDD have its own power supply or is it drawing power from USB port?

As it is an external device, Try following:
put receiver into deep standby, wait 30 second
Remove the storage device, leave it out
Switch receiver back on
Put it into deep standby again
Connect the HDD again while receiver is still off
Power on
Check that it's mounted
