[IMAGE] OpenVIX 5.2 für DM8000HD

DM4K

OpenVIX 5.2

OpenViX 5.0 is based on the OE-Alliance v4.0 core. You cannot perform an online update if you are currently on OpenViX 4.x or older.
You can download and then flash the newer images using the USB method or simply by using Image Manager.

You can restore settings and plugins from OpenViX 4.2 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.

So what is different in OpenViX 5.0 then?
OpenViX 4.2 build 030 was the final build in the 4.2 series.

The numbering of the image series has been segregated from the branch of the OE-Alliance the image is built from. So as time moves on and things get updated/new branches created, we will bump the numbers to suit. This will prevent online updates when a reflash is required.

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 images and OpenViX 5.0 (i.e. there are not many functional differences.)

Features/Updates

GUI resize/position redesigned to make it clearer and easier. (Thanks to Isoz)
New change log system. Change log is clearer and info is read directly from GitHub api.
Multi-stream support (this requires multistream capable hardware, for e.g.: TBS USB Tuners, SF4008).
Multitype tuner support (this requires combo tuners, for e.g.: OS Mini+, OS Mega).

Restore process now also restores plugins that are on the plugin server. Kernel restrictions have been removed. This means you can restore settings and plugins using 4.2 backups.
