[ViX_Misc] OpenViX 4.1.00x coming soon with GST 1.8 and something new from VU+

[Sicilian]

To let all members know we're in the process of building OpenViX 4.1.00x.

We've moved to OE-Alliance branch 3.4 due to upgrade of GST1.8 stable release. OE-A 3.2 & 3.3 had GST1.7 which was an experimental release.

As always no one is forced to upgrade, but an upgrade would need flash and settings restore at a minimum.

Something that will please many VU+ owners! VU+ models Duo2, Solo SE, Solo 2 and Solo 4K will have VU+'s Official Kodi 16.1 RC2 plugin available in the plugin feeds Big thanks to the team members who've been involved testing and implementing this plugin :thumbsup:

Please don't ask when it will be released as many things can go wrong during a build, therefore we're not able to issue a release date. Could be in a few days or week or so. Soon as its ready we will release.

Will there be other "flavours"?
Noticed that in past OpenATV have also had Kodi for the Mut@nt 2400

Not at the moment, ATV has had a Kodi plugin for HD2400, but it had some skin issues with some other images.

I too would like to thank all those involved. Not only with regards to testing/implementing Kodi but also Vix itself. :thumbsup:

Will Kodi use the built-in media player or one from Enigma2 plug-ins?

 

[rossi2000]

I read somewhere that there is less problems using e2 player rather than software of kodi especially when watching HD due to spec of vu hardware

How come Kodi is not going to be available to the Zero ?

Hi,

Kodi without the built-in media player is a nightmare to setup and use... Will keep using Wetek Play, till now the best box all-in one I ever tested.

While you laugh, can you put forward some box names that can handle well Enigma2+Kodi and cost around 100 euro? I would love to try them. =D

Will we have to upgrade to 4.1.00x if we want to use the kodi plugin?

It's not about the price point. There's no box out there that can do everything, to me its about finding a balance. The Wetek Play just does not do it for me, Enigma 2 on Wetek does not compare to any broadcom receiver.

Any way I'm not going to get dragged into some long winded debate about this in this thread. If you want a debate start your own thread. This thread was purely to let users know whats coming

mmmm, i disagree and you will be forced to upgrade at some time as the feeds will be cut from the older images, just before they are deleted all together from the download section.

with the zero not supporting the firmware, is this the next box to be dropped by vix ?? again forcing you to upgrade your box ??
for thosee who didnt hear, the vu solo is no longer supported , so beware what you buy
