OpenVix HADES image come on then who has tried it and what do you thing of this new image
 
Ha Ha downloaded it today for the tm nano-se installed it, found the plugins panels to be down so no downloads. Installed everything manually but found tsmedia a pain to install so canned it and went to openatv. :)
 
Image has a few problems that were also present in the later builds of Apollo..vix are trying to block old or patched images from using their server for plugins etc.

are Vix plugins altered just to work with Vix images ?
Never used a Vix image in my life so no idea if this is a stupid question lol

cant the plugins be uploaded elsewhere for |Clone Vix user to use :)??
 
no mate they are universal to work on all OE alliance images and E2 boxes i guess..i heard it is because their server is taking a battering from old and patched images and they want to stop it..but yes could just download from anywhere ftp to box and install..some stuff like skins and boot logos are purely vix
 
With there downloads down I used tspanel to download a settings list and cccam for vix. One issue I had was getting tsmedia to work I tried a number of different version and it said something about missing dependencies. I know there is a thread on wos where there is a manual install of version of 9.5 but it did not work for me. I really could not be bothered any longer I spent a good hour trying to get it to work.
 
openvix was down for upgrade same as most forums including this one
there was a problem with tsmedia which has been addressed
the downloads are running fine now @Rat ive tried many images over the years with many different boxes
but for the vu+ range i find the vix images work a treat.
ps im not part of vix team

Im sure Vix make a great image :)

:)
 
Vix is my go to image its easy to use, set up ect, ill try the new hades in a week or so, but i do wish they would build a great image and leave it all the updates and name changes are a bit annoying

Where did you get this notion from?

As you are aware, the software update check plugin polls the server for updates by default. When an image line is abandoned, the receiver still connects to the server to check the for updates. The only thing remotely related to your notion that has happened, is that if that image line does not exist, it stops the receiver from continuosly polling the server. If you restart the receiver it will check again but stop if the feeds do not exist but server is present. Noting is doen to the receiver and it will still access the server on restart. Genuine or clone. This is a new feature so it is impossible to stop old images from doing what they were doing.

The clone receivers all have different mac addresses, so it is impossible to block them.

The biggest change with Hades has been the gstreamer. Mfaraj had placed old dependencies for TSmedia, this is why it did not install because newer images already have the newer ones. He has updated Tsmedia to version 9.5 and this installs fine.

The feeds were rebuilt to cure some build issues by recent changes by other members. This meant they had to be updated so become unavailable during the process.

The changes are on Github. Every single one. Please feel free to inspect them.

DW has always been a good place because you get a mixed view because everyone uses different images. Long may it last!
 
I had a mess about with my box today to try a few images, still at the end of the day reverted to vix.

installed Hades build 004. Visually everything that's Apollo was so for most of us the is no difference in all these builds.

I am purely though only an end user.

Sunray clones can use vix new images that I uploaded as I use it fine.

Other clones like lorison clones may have problems as vix and openatv use new gjstreamer which requires new drivers which lorison clones are still using old drivers due to lack of support from lorison.

something Phoenix on WoS posted little while ago implied either updates or plugins may not work for those with older images that copy opkg feed files from newer images to get feeds working again. I interpreted it as purely to stop plugins working on older images where feed files have been swapped for newer feed files from recent images

Yes that's what I read on WOS posted by Phoenix that they were concerned as the Vix server was being constantly used by very old meaning probably clone and or patched images and was taking a bashing so to speak...No biggie

I also used 'Apollo' image for a while until it was crashing with the spinning Vix logo all the time, and switched to using Blackhole for a while. Now back using 'Hades- 012' has made me realise how good the Openvix images are.. EPG is second to none, and the recording schedule is a lot easier to read and use
 
From plugin feeds you need to download a skin called Blue-HD (or something similar to that).
