ViX 1.3 Why A New Version?

[MKD]

Hi quick question been waiting for updates like most people (checking twice a day lol) i hear a new version is on its way 1.3? will we be able to update over the internet (SoftwareUpdate) or is there "A Lot" of fixes + new drivers that a new flash is recomended . Just i have finaly got 1.2 to my needs running 100% don't get me wrong a new version is very welcome but will it be bug freeish

version 1.2 of VIX was based on the previous official VU 5.3 firmware. version 1.3 of VIX is based on the newly released 5.4 VU official firmware. which it self introduced many changes and fixes etc.

- Fix wrong video size/framerate information
- Upgrade Linux DVB API driver to version 5(can be used with latest E2)
- Change dvb-core to use v4l-dvb(with additional patch)
- Change LED Color at standby(solo)
- Support vtuner at solo
- Fix vtuner audio/video sync problem
- Clean up and fix misc. bugs at vtuner driver
- Fix USB transfer problem when both front and rear ports are in use simultaneously (solo)
- Disable HDMI hotplug at standby

i'm not privy to that information, however once the dev team ( andy ) is satisfied with the work etc, he will release it.

Ah thanks pheonix, i knew the drivers were released , can these be installed on ViX 1.2 for the time being or will it cause errors ?

 

[Larry-G]

just buildling the new v1.3 duo image as i type i'll my motor tomorrow, but i would not hold your breath as Vu+ still have not fixed the timeshift bug (rewinding is very glitchy) so i would have thought they have not fixed this either, it is that they only fix bug that LOTS of people complain about, so if you find a bug in vix that is a hard-coded issue it might be worth try the official image, if the bug is there to email Vu+ and complain, the more people complain the quicker it will get fixed.

As andy says...

I sent this bug in to vu ages ago, and they said they have passed it on to their development team to look in to... But, since it's not a major requirement (since no-one else has probably mentioend this to them), they will just put it on the back burner until there is nothing left to do (or they're just board hehe)...

So, email all problems you find to them if they are not in the in the original image...
