Someone asked if I could do an image for vusolose v2 like my OpenPLI with kodi 16.1 but for Kodi 17, but I do not have this machine no more, so compiled an image with lots of stuff pre installed in a hope that this will make it easier for someone to setup themselves.
Not tested - have vusolosev2 machine - but same image but for vuuno4k works fine and is really nice.
disclaimer - all flashing/tinkering done at own risk.
Whats included from scratch
cacheflush
autobouquets maker
crossepg
SkyQ and Sky.New skin.
Kodi 17
Iptv player
vuplus-image-panel.
Now its like a normal fresh flash, so will require a full setup, however I will give some brief instructions below as a quick guide.
During first setup set your tuners as
Simple
28.2 E
For both if have twin tuner.
Then when flashed please set up your external USB/HDD as /media/hdd
Menu, setup, system, storage devices, Initialise.
Menu, info panel, plugins - mount manager - setup mounts - change to /media/hdd green to save (just in case not mounted correct)
Then save then restart box.
Menu, setup, epg, settings, epg location – change to /media/hdd
Menu, setup, crossepg, configure, storage device – should be your USB
Menu, setup, recording and timeshift settings, recording settings, default movie location - /media/hdd/movie, green to save
Menu, setup, recording and timeshift settings, timeshift settings, timeshift location - ./media/hdd/timeshift/, green to save
Auto start timeshift after – disabled
Green to save
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Scanning via Autobouquets maker

EPG Import.

go back in epg import, then press YELLOW to manually start the populating process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossepg (depending what you prefer epg import is simple_
In crossepg settings goto
OPENTV providers - tick 28.2 E - green to save
Then start scan is easy way of manual scan.
If want auto and not using epg import, set up time as 04:10am (10 mins after abm scan) in configure and green to save
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no softcam installed, so you will need to install softcam.mipsel (included in post)
ftp softcam.mipsel ipk in /tmp then on box
Menu - setup - software management - install local extension - choose /tmp - tick and enable the .ipk then install.
Then you can install softcams via
