OpenViX 5.1 released

ovix51.jpg

OpenViX 5.1 is based on the OE-Alliance v4.1 core. You cannot perform an online update if you are currently on OpenViX 5.0.xxx or older.
You can download and then flash the newer images using the USB method or simply by using Image Manager for MIPS receivers, Arm based will require a USB flash.

You can restore settings and plugins from OpenViX 5.0 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.


So what is different in OpenViX 5.1 then?
OpenViX 5.0 build 032 was the final build in the 5.0 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. As a user you should not notice many differences between previous OpenViX 5.0 and OpenViX 5.1 (i.e. there are not many functional differences.)

Main OE Core changes
Gstreamer 1.13.0.1
Glibc 2.2.5
GCC bug fixes
openSSL Security fixes
Basis for new 64 bit environment Support for multi libs 32/64 Bit
Stability updates
Based on OE-Core Morty
Kodi Final 17.6


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 4.1x core, streaming plugins may require their respective author's to add dependencies for GST 1.xx.
Arm based receivers: Image Manager cannot flash without risk of crippling receiver. You can make an image backup and flash by USB.
HbbTV not working for all receivers. Please raise issue with respective Manufacturer.
