ViX-HD_experimental

[rossi2000]

evening folks.

OpenViX-HD is my own personal experimental image, it is branched off from the original ViX image to support a new skin that myself and simonsez developed (YouViX) that uses the 1080 framebuffer that is enabled in the Gigablue drivers and because it doenst look right on the normal vix image. i thought i would put it out for download.

the skin is FULL-HD 1080 and the image has my own tweaks and things done to it so it may differ slightly.

Gigablue machines have support for this so the image is ONLY for Gigablue Quad atm, i dont have other devices to test. but i believe the 1080 framebuffer is enabled on Xtrend & OdinM9 machines also.

the image has the same feeds and downloads as per the original vix image, minus some bits that ive removed for compatibility.

the code in e2 has been altered for 1080 quite abit to make this happen which in turn has rendered quite a few plugins not viewable properly until i skin them. they will come soon. i dont use that many external plugins although a few extra ones have been done for those few who have been using the image already. there are a few niggles but nothing major. will all get fixed in online updates.




BUILD9 is built on the new oe-a 2.3 base

EDIT: 17/12/14
OpenViXHD is no more. The 1080 OSD enhancements have been added to mainstream image for the receivers that support it . Please install latest image.

Congratulations guys on what looks like the start of something really great, hopefully you will find a way to get this working on other receiver's in the future i.e Solo2.

I'm really impressed with the layout/design and definitely think it's up with the best that's been available to date.

Don't hold your breath, VU pretty slow to add 1080 framebuffer support so far...

i was asked what was the animated bootlogo was like, instead of trying to explain, it is attached to this post.

there is no progressbar on movielist

When in movielist, press menu -> settings -> Show status icons in movielist = progress.
Presume this is what Stanman is using?

 

[Stanman]

In recordings setting change "show status icons in movies list" to progress

Rossi, have you tried the skin on new VU kernel & driver builds?
It no longer displays with multiple overwriting sections, just an oversized skin.

 

[rossi2000]

i havent tried it on new kernel/driver builds yet, but i think thats how it looked last time i tried it, too big for screen.

Looks great you have done some really good work here. Don't have a Gigablue Quad to test with (only Duo2 here) but great work none the less on this really refreshing image.
