New OpenViX version 6.7 image


The new OpenViX version 6.7 image is based on OpenViX enigma2 and OE-Alliance-core branch 5.5.1


The easiest way to flash latest OpenViX image is to do the following:


First:


Download the image to your receiver's storage device


Blue button > ViX > Image manager > Yellow (Downloads) > Select OpenViX > Select image version > Press OK


You will see the download status


Second:


Once downloaded, you should still be in Image manager and the latest image should be highlighted.


Ensure you have the correct image selected then press the Blue button (Flash)


The new image will flash and box will reboot when completed.


In install wizard you can then restore settings and plugins from earlier OpenViX series images. 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 6.7?


OpenViX 6.7 builds on the success of the 6.x series and aims to bring you the important things such as improved stability and bug fixes, rather than gimmicks.


The main change from previous versions to version 6.7 has been to upgrade to 5.5.1 oe-alliance-core branch. The OE (Open Embedded) core on which the image is built has also undergone major changes, updates and fixes, and uses the latest bitbake version. Version 6.7 uses Python version 3.12 which is on average 25% faster than Python 3.10 when measured with the performance benchmark suite. For more info on Python 3 major speed improvement see the official documentation. https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html


OpenViX 6.7 switches to udev (userspace /dev). udev is a device manager for the Linux kernel. As the successor of devfsd and hotplug, udev primarily manages device nodes in the /dev directory. At the same time, udev also handles all user space events raised when hardware devices are added into the system or removed from it, including firmware loading as required by certain devices.


udev supports persistent device naming, which does not depend on, for example, the order in which the devices are plugged into the system. The default udev setup provides persistent names for storage devices. Any hard disk is recognized by its unique filesystem id, the name of the disk and the physical location on the hardware it is connected to.


udev executes entirely in user space, as opposed to devfs's kernel space. One consequence is that udev moved the naming policy out of the kernel and can run arbitrary programs to compose a name for the device from the device's properties, before the node is created; there, the whole process is also interruptible and it runs with a lower priority.


Please note the following applications are not available on OpenViX 6.7 feeds yet: nodejs, kodi, stalker, openhbbtv, qthbbtv. These will be added as server time to build them becomes available. If you need them stay with the 6.6 image for the time being.

Notes


Please upgrade as soon as possible. We do not maintain previous versions.


Basic feeds for the previous version will be maintained for a short period only to allow users to upgrade to the new image. Items such as Kodi, Stalker, Nodejs, QT, etc. and feeds for all other previous versions have already been removed. Sorry for any inconvenience but resources are limited and we cannot maintain parallel versions. We have worked hard to make the upgrade process as easy as possible for our users. These days upgrading from the previous version is painless. Just follow the instructions at the top of this page and you will be up and running with the new version in a few short minutes.
