Black Hole Vu+ Solo 1.6.7 Kernel 3.1.1 beta2



Warning: YOU MUST UPDATE VU+ SOLO BOOT LOADER BEFORE TO FLASH THIS IMAGE:


THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN COMPILED WITH THE NEWEST LINUX KERNEL AVAILABLE FOR OUR BOXES.

WARNING: THIS IMAGE USES A NEW FILESYSTEM AND IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MULTIBOOT OR WITH OLD PERSONAL BACKUP.
THIS IMAGE HAS TO BE INSTALLED IN THE FLASH.

WARNING: STARTING FROM THIS RELEASE, FOR BEST PERFORMANCES AND TO MAXIMIZE THE AVAILABLE FLASH SPACE THE WEB BROWSER PLUGIN
IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE IMAGES FOR SOLO DUO AND UNO. IF YOU NEED WEB BROWSER PLUGIN YOU CAN EASILY INSTALL IT BY GOING TO:
Menu -> Setup -> Software Managment ->Manage Extensions -> Network -> WebBrowser

THE MOST COMMONLY USED USB TUNER DRIVERS ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THIS IMAGE AND ARE AUTO_DETECTED.(hauppauge win nova, aver volar, aver a867 ecc..)
THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN BOOT THE IMAGE WITH THE USB TUNER INSIDE AND IT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AND WORKING.
For this reason the Usb dtt panel has been removed, because it is no longer needed.
More drivers will be available soon.

THE WIRELESS management has been changed to use the Vuplus proprietary system plugin and Wpa supplicant have been updated
to the latest version.

The HDMI-CEC panel has been removed because Black Hole firmware has switched to native Vuplus Hdmi-Cec implementation.
So you can now find Hdmi-Cec config in the plugins list.

This image is totally new inside.
Please report your tests and opinions.

Have fun !!
