[IMAGE] OpenVIX 5.3 for Gigablue HD X1

April 24, 2020 admine2

OpenViX 5.3 is based on the OE-Alliance v4.3 core. You cannot perform an online update if you are currently on OpenViX 5.2.xxx or older.

You can download and then flash the new 5.3 image using Image Manager. You can still flash by USB if you prefer.

You can restore settings and plugins from OpenViX 5.2 series images after you have flashed the image. This will restore most things to how you had them before.

RESTORE PROCESS WILL NOT RESTORE PLUGINS THAT ARE NOT ON THE CURRENT PLUGIN SERVER. THESE MUST BE INSTALLED MANUALLY.

There are many guides to flash/restore. Here is another

So what is different in OpenViX 5.3 then?
OpenViX 5.2 build 045 was the final build in the 5.2 series.

As with previous images, the main differences are core of the image or the OE (Open Embedded). This has undergone a lot of changes, updates and fixes.

CrossEPG is no longer pre-installed in OpenViX 5.3. OpenTV EPG has now been embedded, EPG Refresh is now pre-installed to enabled re-freshing or EPG data for Sky UK Astra 28.2deg and Sky Italia Hotbird 13deg. See EPG Refresh setup guide HERE (thanks to Abu Baniaz for the guide). Thank you goes to LraiZer for the OpenTV code and thank you Huevos for merging the code into OpenViX.

Apart from the above users should not notice many other differences between previous OpenViX 5.2 and OpenViX 5.3 (i.e. there are not many functional differences.).

Known Image issues
Dreamplex – Some users in certain setup’s may have issues.

Known Plugin/Receiver issues
Older receivers with lower amounts of memory struggle with downloading OpenTV EPG data using Cross EPG downloader. Use a swap file in such cases.
Some 3rd party plugins may not be currently compatible with OE-A 4.3 core, streaming plugins may require their respective author’s to add dependencies for GST 1.xx.
