Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
Hi Everyone. When should the online update be available? I have been trying to update my V2 since I saw the announcement on Wednesday night. I am not receiving any on-screen notification that the update is available, and when I click on "Check for Updates" to try to do it manually, I get the following messages:
Firstly, "Please wait, package list update", followed quickly by "A background update check is in progress. Please wait a few minutes and try again." This message counts down around 10 seconds and disappears. I have tried turning off Background Check and rebooted after that, but still no luck. I am on Beta version 20210704.
I seem to recall that not long after I purchased the machine, (back in November 19), an official update became available and I ended up doing that update by USB as I wasn't ever able to do it online then as well. As you can see, I have since then also done a Beta update via USB, so I don't have any problems or issue doing it this way. However, I am just curious as to why I am unable to do it online. Is there any other setting I am missing that needs to be tweaked?

If you previously ran the "switch to beta feed stream" script, then the online updates should be presented. There's been a shed-load of them since July.
If you haven't, then run it and try it again.
Otherwise, check your V2's network connection in case any network error is reported as an online update "already do a check" error (i.e. brain dead code).

Hi Geoff. No, I didn't ever switch to the Beta Feed. Just upgraded via USB when I got the urge!!Grumpy_Geoff wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 20:11

Network connection is fine. I regularly watch content from my PC without issue. And today when trying to figure out why I couldn't get this update, I checked that Internet connection was good and I was able to access YouTube without trouble.
I have to go now to watch Grandson's basketball game, but when I get back I'll upload a screenshot of a setting that I found and wondered if could have anything to do with it!

I have the same issue with a T2 and a U4, trying to implement the online update via the OpenWebif interface. I am not on the beta feed.
I have downloaded the images for USB update, but an online update would be much more convenient, if possible.

Do you have command-line access to either Wiz?
If so, what does opkg update && opkg list-upgradable show?

No.From what I can see it requires telnet access from a PC that I haven't attempted in years.

Fair enough.
Perhaps the production/general release feed server (feeds.beyonwiz.org) is having a lie down - can you try and install a plugin (e.g. ShootYourScreen)?

I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, but it appears to me that the production/general release feed server is unavailable for access -
... whereas the beta feed server is fine (it's on a different IP address) -
Wild guess, perhaps the PROD/GR server was locked out whilst peteru was uploading the 20211010 f/w, but then not subsequently unlocked?

What you did looks correct to me. I get the same results when I try to connect to the production feed vs the beta feed on a V2 (the paths in the URLs are different, of course).

I've updated the U4 firmware, but the blue button no longer fast forwards when you watch a recording. We have a U4(0xa497) remote. Why has this functionality disappeared? Thanks

Just had an online update notification pop up out of the blue (haven't been here in ages...) so thought I'd swing by to see what's been tweaked!
Will start download now and report back shortly!

You didn't have an unofficial "Topfield patch" installed by any chance? I know of a few users that changed their keymaps to emulate the Topfield colour button behaviour.

Re: Current firmware - 19.3_20211010
It was working fine seemingly and got up to installing 368/352
Then there was a lot of configuration before final notification of errors encountered, recommend USB update instead
Successful reboot after that.... went to check if updates were available and get error message:
Error - Update failed. Your Beyonwuz T2 can not connect to an update server.

Does the T2 have a working network connection?
AFAIK, the production/general release feed server is online and working as I just then successfully fetched a package

Yes, hard wired to the router.... nothing changed since this morning when the online update notification appeared
Just checked YouTube and everything working no probs.
One of the messages during installation looked like it was removing Beyonwiz feeds ~ didn't pay too much attention though, there was a whole bunch of stuff being removed and other stuff being obsolete or stuff being configured... Looked like a typical installation

Re: Current firmware - 19.3_20211010
G'day,
Ok, I was presented with a screen this afternoon telling me there was an update available, however it was "large and to consider doing a USB update.
It also mentioned something about backing up.
So, first can I do a backup I can then restore or do I have to go through all the business of setting up again? Last time around I followed the advice to not backup and spent a number of hours going back and setting things up again.
Also, how do I get to back things up anyway? I can't find an option to backup or restore.
Currently I have
beyonwiz-19.3-beyonwizt2-20191106_usb.zip
and the update is
beyonwiz-19.3-beyonwizt2-20211010_usb.zip

You can either:
Start the update and you'll get an option to do a backup
or
Menu>setup>software manager>create backup

You didn't have to set up last time if you came from something in the 17.5-series or 19.3-series.
Yes you can restore from a backup created with MENU>>Setup>>Software manager>>Create backup (or via Plugins>>Software management>>Backup system setings).

I just updated a U4 online via OpenWebif without any error messages. Also restored settings just in case.
Haven't checked the firmware version yet, or if all plugins working properly, but FTA SBS EPG looking OK so looks as if Deswapper is working.

Settings / packages.
This was discussed a little while ago after someone suffered a failed update by doing it using that method. I can't remember the cause or fix for that particular issue though.

When I decompress the V2 download file, there are only 2 files not like in previous updates a folder called beyonwiz and a quite a few files within.
They are image version
and
usb_update.bin
Is this correct?

Unfortunately, it was suggested because it was going from 17.5 to 19.3, to not use the backup option and to set things up again.
After that exercise I used OpenWebIF to save every configuration screen as an image and then save it as a PDF file.
I'd hate to do this again because it will wear the carpet out and my knee
Thanks for providing the location of the backup/restore actions.

Yep, OWIF/Settings/Packages.
But it can be problematic for those of Adoxa's plugins that have auto-uninstall specified, as I don't think it obeys that as compared to a GUI update.
That "someone" may have been me, are you remembering this post - viewtopic.php?f=47&t=14793&p=196529#p196529 ?

Re: Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
Well I hadn't had a chance to get back and upload the screenshot of the settings I was curious about! But I thought before I did that, I would check back here to see if there were any other suggestions that might give me a solution! So was very happy to see that I was not alone, and that today everything seemed to be working for everyone. I straight away turned the Wiz on, however I didn't get a pop-up that the update was available. But I was able to successfully do the update directly from the Settings Menu. So, thank you, and in future it might pay me to be a little more patient!!
Merry Christmas everyone, and all the best for 2022!

Where was that?
In the first public beta of the 19.3-series, peteru stated one can restore from a 17.5-series settings backup.
I repeated that statement in the 20191106 production/general release topic (3rd post).
Are you thinking of this post, when you had pixellation issues? - viewtopic.php?f=50&t=14706&p=194070#p194035
You don't need to screenshot 40 pages - previously I've shown you some other methods to grab your settings, albeit resulting in a cryptic form -
viewtopic.php?f=50&t=14706&p=194019#p194068
You know you can "drive" the Wiz via the OWIF "virtual" remote, right? No need to make multiple trips between Wiz and computer.

Nup, you were the one to initially highlight there was a problem with the production/general release feed server
Even if you'd installed via USB, I don't think you'd have been able to install any plugins.

I have a recollection of at one point that BLUE in playback doing something other than chuck up the (plugins) Extensions menu. It may have been a playback control, but it's too long ago for me to remember exactly because I never use FF/REW.
I do remember it subsequently changing back to match live TV.
I wrote the above, and then decided to do a search, and what do I find

I'm afraid we are not that clever. We pressed green for play and blue for fast forward.

Thanks everyone.
For some reason I have not been able to reply to some points.
On OpenWebIf, I am aware you can drive the T2 via it. The problem being having the network settings correct to be able to do this. Last time around they all got set to factory defaults.
Also, I didn't do the upgrade via OpenWebIf, but used it to save screenshots of all the various setup screens.
Thanks again.

There's more RAM on a U4 c.f. a T2/3.
Just updated a T2 online via OpenWebif without any error messages.
To be clear, I did not go the route of settings|packages, but used the virtual remote to get into the BWs' settings then checked for updates with the Software Manager and followed the prompts.
Thanks for the updates.

Re: Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
Well...
I went through the procedure to upgrade via USB. I downloaded the package and expanded the SI file so that the folder Beyonwiz was in the root
with no other file in the root, and checking through there was a folder hde2 (I have a T2), with various files in it. I ejected it from the computer and then shut down the T2.
I put the USB flash drive in the T2, disconnected the USB tuner (the only USB device) and then powered back up, only nothing about detecting an update and asking me to press the ^. It just went through as per a normal startup and watching TV. Both USB ports work OK otherwise. The USB tuner functions perfectly from either.
I tried this via the front port and the rear one, but nothing different.
So I then thought I'd risk an online update. All seemed to be going OK, but then it got to Upgrading 168/353 and the next thing was a dialog asking me to reboot, so I did, only it appears to be as it was before the update. There was no alert or error
The zip file is beyonwiz-19.3-beyonwizt2-20211010_usb.zip
I have checked the time stamp on the files on the USB drive, and they all say 11-10-21, 5:45 AM
A check on the system says it is 19.3, but the build is 20191106
Enigma2 = 19.3 273-g6f501ae
gstreamer= 1.17,9 GIT
Python = 2.7.5
Kernel = 3.14.2
Drivers = 20180416
I hope I have all that right.
Is there any other way of applying the update?
Thanks.

For the USB method, ensure the thumb drive is formatted in FAT32, and USB1.1 compatible.
Try the online update again. The user singlefished had some stumbles with their T2 but it worked in the end -

Another T2 user, raymondjpg, updated his T2 via an online update.

Would I be right in my recollection that when formatting the thumb drive in FAT32 it should be a FULL, not quick, format?

No, a full format is not necessary. Quick should be fine.

And just to make sure it does NOT happen again, the folder is now named Firmware - USE FAT32 USB DRIVE
Thanks to everyone and for your patience.
Re: Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me, I can't seem to find an answer in the forums or manual.
I don't know if this has always been the case or tied up with the new update.
I cannot make sense of the Front Panel settings on my V2. I have successfully set up the recording indication with the display blinking between time and REC. The red led also displays.
What I am after is Led display when in standby. I can turn the time on or off in standby but no Led indication. My reading of the settings is that is that it can be done but I can't turn the Led on. The display brightness settings are also very confusing. Even in the lowest settings they are too bright. Could someone please explain in plain English the settings to make the Front Panel display as it should.
Thanks in advance

Re: Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
The hardware (or hardware driver) has only 10 levels of brightness for the front panel display. The default setting is 1. A setting of 0 is off. There's no in-between setting.
In the settings labelled "Display" and "Brightness" are for the 4-digit 7-segment display. The settings labelled "LED" are for the LED in the power button..
You can set the the power button LED off in standby by setting "LED state in standby" to "off" (and similarly for running and shutdown).
Setting "Display state in standby" to "off" doesn't seem to have any effect (IMO this is a bug). You can have the display off in standby by setting "Brightness (Standby)" to 0 (no bar showing).
If that doesn't help, you may need to describe in more detail what you mean by "as it should".

Re: Firmware 19.3_20211010 update discussion
As many have posted it's just way too bright on the minimum settings. Such a pity but it's useless in most environment. Maybe Beyonwiz should supply a small piece of neutral density film to glue over it.
