Getting Help / subtitles by default
Last post by Ian_AW - May 03, 2024, 11:21:33 AMG'day,
Is there any way to have the default being subtitles on for all channels?
I have gone through Settings>Player>Subtitles but cannot find a setting to make it the default across all channels.
Is there a way to set it as a default setting?
Thanks.

Last post by raymondjpg - May 02, 2024, 03:50:23 PMQuote from: TimC on May 02, 2024, 03:20:16 PMHowever, I am now wondering if the latest update is having an impact on the Startup routines.It almost sounds like the issue IceBox users were having with the SSD. If it were me I would try a completely new install, following the procedures as suggested for a BYO setup, and see if that stabilises things.
My whole problem started when I tried the Soft Reset. The Reboot stalled mid-reset and then nothing worked. I suspect that the soft reset is dependent on a reboot being successful, i.e. Interrupting the reboot stuffs up the reset process.
Rebooting is not something I do very often, but I never had any issues rebooting before the latest update.

Getting Help / Re: IceBox failure after a sof...
Last post by TimC - May 02, 2024, 03:20:16 PMNow that I have used it a bit, I do notice a few strange things.
Immediately after the Soft Reset, it was working fine. Actually better than it had previously.
This was because I swapped the HDMI port I was using from the one nearest the power to the one furthest from the power and only had one device connected.
The flashing to a black screen whenever I went from a menu to a program had disappeared.
It Looks like the port furthest from the power is the best one to use.
I then reconnected the rest of the HDMI stuff and everything was working well.
Then I got the bright idea to make sure it would continue to work following a reboot.
The result was curious.
First it wouldn't reboot. It would shut down and then bring up the small IceTV logo and stay on it. Ten minutes later, I pulled the power and plugged it back in. It restarted OK.
So I repeated the restart and the same thing happened.
Next I tried a full power off. After that I tried to restart, and nothing happened.
I pulled the power and plugged it back in and it started up normally.
However the IceBox was really sluggish. There was a constant notification saying "TVHeadEnd Failed" and "TVHeadEnd Reconnected" constantly recycling.
If I tried to play a recording or watch a live TV channel it stalled and eventually produced a popup saying something like "Playback Failed, check the Log for more information". After about twenty minutes the "TVHeadEnd" notifications stopped, however I still couldn't watch TV or play a recording.
Finally I tried a reboot, expecting it to stall, but it actually worked OK.
When I tried watching a Live TV channel and playing a recording and it all behaved correctly. Even better the Black screen/flashing issue was gone.
I have seen that others have had the TVHeadEnd Failed/Connected notification issue before and I think their solution was to Reboot. In my case I suspect the interrupted reboot meant that whatever was causing the issue didn't get cleared. When I finally managed a clean reboot, all the issues were sorted.
However, I am now wondering if the latest update is having an impact on the Startup routines.

Last post by TimC - May 01, 2024, 11:34:57 PMQuote from: MD on May 01, 2024, 06:52:50 PMYou need a keyboard and power up the IceBox into the BIOS. Then in Save and Exit you can scroll down to choose the USB to reboot then go step by step
Ahh, I was selecting the USB in the Boot tab. In any case I ended up doing a Soft Reset in the strange version of the IceBox software that came up and it ended up working.
To be honest I am not sure I could repeat the steps I did to get it working in the end, but it is working now, thanks.
