...let's turn it on its head, what exciting new features would you like to see?

 

[bellejt]

possible to change channels when importing EPG with crossepg. First new feature was that advance was made in top off screen but still not possible to change channel when importing.Now only possible trough webif.

no, let's not go there... just some info about what's going to be in version 5 is fine.

.... well my guess would be nothing exciting, apart from the addition of a couple of new boxes, which might excite people who've got them.

 

[abu baniaz]

Here is one.....



















You can watch TV.

Is that all Abu.

Was hoping it would be able to make dinner. Wash the dishes and do my yearly tax returns.

If I could have anything practical in new vix it would be when adding a recording via EPG on a future day it would stay on the furire day Rather than jumping back to the current event on the EPG.

It used to do this in the early days. It changed in an update.

well, 5 is out now, and abu's prediction seems to be the closest one
what concerns me most is, that there is still no couch flashing for arm boxes. haven't done usb flashing in years...
i understand that arm boxes have different type of flash chips... and i understand that it is probably quite some work to implement this.
but this would be my strongest wish for future images.

... looking forward to trying this new build ... can I ask if the Devices issue has been resolved??? I used to be able to use my wireless Logitech K400 keyboard when using Chromium on my Duo 2 ... but this feature has not been working on my Ultimo 4K ...

I know its working on Original VU+ based images (BH etc.) I was told it was an issue for OE builds ...?

Thanks,
Nitemare

Couch Flashing could potentially damage the ARM receivers, thus why ViX have took the option to remove this feature to protect you guys/gals (the users).
I am using this feature, with a modified version of IM, which I won't be sharing (sorry guys/gals) but its at my risk and I will have to accept the consequences this may cause.

yes, i understand that the current flash app might brick the box, and that a modified version is required for safe couch flashing.
i think i also read that the code owner of the app said that he won't implement any changes for arm boxes... don't recall why.
i'm just saying: the only feature missing in the image from my perspective would be couch flashing for arm boxes.

I would like to be able to set a reminder that a programme is about to start
Not the current way which is zap instead of record and it automatically switching to the channel
Cheers

Upgraded 3 boxes today. As a user haven't noticed anything different other than the startup screen and slower boot up times - receiver works perfectly fine once booted up. good performance and stability like previous trains.

Oh. when setting the box up the setup wizard prompts about "Just Scan"....

I miss the country lane scene. It was very soothing.
