Recent image updates seem to have broken support for Hauppauge 950q

[comfortably_numb]

comfortably_numb, install the Dream Explorer plugin on the openpli you are using and check your EXT HDD at media/usb/backup. You should have a vix-rel 5.2.044 settings backup on there.
Here is the vix 5.2 044 backup image I saved with the 950q and 955q drivers already installed.
Flash the vix image to an extra slot without backup and then boot into vix and then go to vix menu - Backup manager- restore with yellow button.
You should then be back in business. Might want to disconnect the network cable while doing the restore so nothing is installed online. There maybe an error but the restore should work after it reboots.

Thanks, I'll check it out tonight.

Your image worked. One million internets to you, sir! (And many thanks).

SDA_FL_USA, I'm using the VIX 5. 2. 044 image from the link that you provided in the other thread on July 9, 2019, is this the same or modified for the drivers?

 

[SDA_FL_USA]

Yes it is the same. I just copied the link over to this thread.

Openvix 5-3-012 has kernel 5.4.1 and hauppauge 950q works again.
Blind scan seems fine.
Good Luck!

Hello All
Does anybody know how to adjust the colors on the Mio receivers.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

My 950q plugged into the osmio4k died yesterday even though I didn't do any recent firmware updates. It happened after uploading an edited scan list. The light was on but nobody was home. lsusb doesn't see it either. After unplugging it and re-inserting the light no longer comes on. It doesn't work on any of the 4 images that I have loaded. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver and still doesn't work. "It's dead, Jim". I guess if there's no fix for it then I'll have to go spend more money and get a 955 and hope that it's supported for more than a few months. It looks like Hauppauge no longer supports the 950 also. I tried to make it work on Ubuntu Bionic desktop but it won't work there either even after adding the PPA.

Have you tried installing it to your laptop, to see if it's just the tuner itself that fried somehow?

 

[ZetaMale]

Shouldn't matter if it's a desktop or a laptop. Both are running Ubuntu 18.04 with the same firmware. I checked anyway and it doesn't work on the laptop or desktop.

Well, nothing to lose then. I'd split the case apart to get to the circuit board. Perhaps you can see what fried and fix it. Even if you can't, it would be cool to see what the guts look like.

I guess it's a bad 950. It was used so I got some use out of it. I'm ordering a NEW 955 from Amazon, maybe 2.

 

[ZetaMale]

I just got a 955 in today and it works on all firmware except TNAP. Wish I didn't have to pay for all that extra stuff that came with the 955 - probably would've been $20-$25 cheaper without it.

As of the other day, the 950Q still doesn't work with the most recent OpenVix kernel. I'm running an old version supplied by one of the forum members so I can use OTA.

Opened it up but I don't see anything that is obviously bad. Some of the solder jobs could be better. I guess I could reheat the solder and see if that gets it working again.

After a long drought, I can now report that the newest versions of OpenVIX and OpenPLI support the Hauppauge 950q again. I can finally update all my image kernels!
