OpenViX released to all members!

[Sicilian]

OpenViX, what is it you ask?

Due to the time its been taking between image releases as a team we've decided to give access to beta releases and the very latest builds to all members. This way all ViX users can try out all the latest features etc...

For the time being there will builds as required, containing fixes as needed, at some point in the future we hope and plan to have automated nightly builds.

Where do I download OpenViX?

OpenViX can be download from www.openvix.co.uk

Users can check the stability of builds be looking at the stability icon display @ OpenViX.co.uk, you'll see a green icon for stable, red for un-stable and amber for updating. All users please note that the green for stable icon in a new build doesn't automatically mean that the latest build is stable, there could still be an issue and if flashed your receiver not fully usable, worst case your receiver may not boot, in the event of this happening please post on the forum ASAP so that a member of the ViX Team can mark OpenViX un-stable. Use OpenViX at your own risk.

If marked un-stable is doesn't necessarily mean that the latest build/update is unusable, it could be that we've updated some fixes or added un-tested features. If you would like to test un-stable updates you will need to turn them on. Menu > Setup > System > Online update > Set allow un-stable updates to yes.

OpenViX is a new experimental venture for the ViX Team, so the format may change as progress evolves.

To all who had a part in bringing this image to the public i would like to say a huge thank you for your time and work, without you we would not have been able to do what we do.

and a especially big thank you to the one and only ANDY BLAC he is the genius behind the ViX image and deserves a increase in his mars bar quota.

We've closed the Openvix download site until this release settles down, bandwidth getting hammered thus slowing the forum too much. Hopefully back open tomorrow. For now users will have to download from forum.

Hello Sicilian

Sorry for maybe newbie question but which forum are you referring to? A link would be nice to have because I couldn't find it here.

Thanks in advance.

At the very top of the forum you will see a button named ViX support centre. click on that and it will take you the the download sections for the ViX images.

the down load site, is part of the forum, but normally closed to gen membership, but due to massive connections, which slowed the forum down, the site has been closed to gen members, so we can help those that get into grief

Read the first post in this thread the link is there

[Larry-G]

Rite guys the first updates are now online via the OpenViX server and via online updates

remember to make a full backup first so that if you encounter errors you can return to your previous working image.

2.4 Build 101:

enigma2: EPGSelection: fix posible BSOD.
openwebif: add new ViX setting menu to Menu Panel (still needs work).
