Hi all,
just got a new Vu+ Duo 4K.

I had a Vu+ Solo².

Can the Vu+ Duo 4K be flashed like the Vu+ Solo²?
Where can the images be found? on OpenPLi there are none.

TIA

Try Open Vix they do a 4K image

http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/vu-plus-images/vu-duo-4k/

Other images youll find here

https://www.sat-universe.com/forumdisplay.php?f=582

1) A USB stick formatted to FAT32. (Preferably compatibility issues while flashing the image).
2) Image of your choice.
3) Compression software such as 7zip, Winrar, Winzip

1. Format a USB stick to FAT32.
2. Download the image of your choice and extract it to your desktop.
3. Copy the extracted folder “vuplus” to your USB Stick

Flashing the Receiver.

1) Power off the receiver
2) Ensure no other USB devices are plugged into the receiver while flashing
3) Insert the USB stick containing the image files into one of the USB ports on the receiver, rear USB port is advised if possible.
4) Power the receiver on.
5) As your Duo 4k starts to power up you should see a update prompt on the receivers display asking you to press the power button, at this point you touch the power button which is located to the left front of the receiver.
6) The receivers display will display various stages of flashing, simply wait for this to complete
7) If successful the receiver will reboot itself after the flashing process has completed.
8) Remove USB stick that contains the images files.

Thanx a lot for the links.

Is the stock original somewhere as well?
Need a backup of the original if something goes wrong.

Anyway if you really think you'll need an original image there here.

http://code.vuplus.com/index.php?action=image&image=30&model=vuduo4k

THX - got it

I am testing the Vu+ Duo 4K to see if it is usable like the old Solo². If it is not usable, it can be returned; it is then only fair that the original firmware is on the box.

Vu+ Duo 4K with original stock image.
Adding some add-ons caused a looping reboot with something like bdappxx crashing. Can't get to logfile.

Tried openvix, no good and looks terrible. :eek:

Then tried opendroid; everything running, except there is only audio and no video on all channels. GUI also looks ... uhh ... :rolleyes:

Tried VTi 14.0.X. The best so far.

Still looking for other distros to test the Vu+ Duo 4K box ...

:-/

Has anyone tried which image scan of DVB-S2X transponder at eutelsat 33 east - 12,598 H ?
At my Duo this transponder scan and played only with images of VTi.
With openATV , openVix ,OpenDroid .... have signal , but nothing found?!

p.s. Sorry for my bad english
