Ok, I'm not a complete newbie with networking / vu solo2, I have setup dreambox's, two solo2 minis, two solo2 mini SE. I've worked with PC's for some 20+ years, I work designing / testing / debugging a WebServer / Android / iOS client - I'm not a programmer but definitely not an idiot with technology.
I've been a member here for some time but never asked a question as I've found most things but my vu solo2 mini (non-SE) box and my vu solo2 mini SE (both clone boxes) are having frequent issues with freezes. I've spoken to my provider who says there are no issues their end, but I want to investigate the cause....
I have virgin media superhub, set up in modem only mode, connected to a tp-link router. My solo2mini is plugged into the tp-link via ethernet. I then have a wireless bridge setup to a second tp-link router in bridge mode elsewhere in the house. Second box is attached to that.
Both boxes are running Openvix Appolo 153 (clonesafe) for V4 flashed boxes. Both are running mgcamd 1.38 (downloaded through vix plugins). The same N: line (which can be used for four lines) is installed in both boxes.
I have in usr/keys both mg_cfg and newcamd.list.
mg_cfg:
newcamd.list has CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
I am set up using DHCP but can set up static IP's for these boxes if needed. I can watch channels ok but they freeze, sometimes after 30 seconds, sometimes after a couple of minutes. Therefore, I am trying to track the cause of the freeze...
I'm not trying to stream from these devices (at this stage), just to connect to a server.
During freezing I've tried monitoring network responses to the box using ping, with no issues found. The box UI is responsive. I have wireshark installed and have been monitoring my box ip 192.168.1.103 - there don't appear to be any issues. The only issues I see are when I FTP to the box, wireshark is correctly picking up disconnects and highlighting those as errors. What I am not comfortable with is exploring wireshark logs though....
Can anyone help me on where I should go to identify where in the chain there could be a slow response (if indeed there is one)?
I've tried all of this with only one box connected too (no other vu solo2 box on the network) but still the issue is the same. The issue is definitely in requesting / receiving / decoding the softcam - I have no freezing issues on FTA channels. Also tried OScam, again without success.
Any pointers would be appreciated, I'm usually pretty good in finding things myself - I've installed / setup / ugraded 4 solo2 boxes without needing to ask so far but now I am stumped!
Also, I can PM wireshark logs if needed but I can't tie freezes to any specific even there....
Thanks!
