About Transcoding (Thx to Ev0 for tests):​
The transcoding function has been tested and is working through the WebInterface with an iPad.​
It works both inside and outside of the home network, therefore also works over the internet, if you have the correct ports open in your router. It also works via 3g (although this obviously isn't perfect). ​

at first all worked fine ,then mounted my stick to universe

and after the reboot i got this error
unknown.jpg

means some plugins are not available: transcoding setup (unknown encoding: charset)
 
Transcoding function is still in beta.
Vu+ will fix this issue soon.
In the meanwhile you can test usign english language instead of German and you will bypass the problem.
 
I'm a newbie... so maybe a stupid question.
I downloaded the image on a usb stick... VU+ says: after the reboot "push power for update" etc... but nothing changes...
do i need a "harder" reboot? can i force to overwrite?
Thanks.... JP!

If you have any other devices connected to the Solo2, remove them before to install the new image.

LOL :D When prompted to push the power, press the power on the STB :D

Switch box off at the back for 15 seconds and then switch on again.

Use the power button (the only button) on the front of the box.
 
Nothing worked,
Now first installed the original image again, then the blackhole image again... now it works again, thanks!
Probably a smal glitch somewhere... :oops:
