OpenViX 5.4 released

OpenViX 5.4 is based on the OE-Alliance v4.4 core.

what is different in OpenViX 5.4 then?
OpenViX 5.3 build 039 was the final build in the 5.3 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.

***Password required for FTP, TELNET & SSH!***

Factory reset procedure was overhauled.
Simplified menu path system.
Action controls changed. Stay on 5.3 if your plugins don't work properly/as before.
Enigmalight working from plugin server apart from Vu Arm receivers.
EPG buttons customisable. Long press EPG / Guide / Info buttons to change defaults.
Some of Kiddac's skins on plugin server.


Some Gigablue remotes button remapped so they can access Help function. More changes to come to Help system.

CrossEPG is no longer pre-installed in OpenViX 5.3 onwards. 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.
Apart from the above users should not notice many other differences between previous OpenViX 5.3 and OpenViX 5.4 (i.e. there are not many functional differences.).

From OpenVix 5.4 a password will be required for FTP access. This also applies to other images on OE-A 4.4 branch such as OpenATV 6.4

To set a password, there are two options:


Menu > Setup > Network > Password > Choose your password > Green (Save)

Option 2.

Set it by command line using SSH or Telnet with applications like Putty/Terminal or similar
issue following command

passwd


Note:
Passwords are saved/restored when using settings backup. If you have one on ViX 5.3, you can restore it in OpenVix 5.4.
