You can couch flash (Image Manager). Look via Blue button > ViX > Image Manager.

Thanks i found the latest openvix in the image manager, now if i flash will it delete everything on my box channel list, cams etc? and then would i have to setup the box from scratch like i did when i got it tge 1st time?
I don't think you'll even find the option in image manager.
I'm sure there was a reference to a plugin that could be used, mentioned this week, but I haven't found it.

Sorry guys quick question I as I cant remember, if I update from the image manger to 5.1 will I need to set everything up from scratch or just certain details ?
Thanks
image manager does not update, it flashes new clean/virgin image.
on recent images it also makes a settings backup.
After you flash new image, you can restore settings and plugins. Cams/configs and plugins on server will be restored.

yes i am mate
does this fix the recording issue cheers for any advice
before doing this update do i need to backup and restore image or settings backup. When my box booted after update it went straight to restore image menu where a IMG file was sitting. If i restored image would it revert it back to older version? or do i restore from backup.
Create a settings backup
Flash new image
Restart
Set video settings
You will prompted to to restore settings, say yes
You will be asked about plugins, say yes too.
A settings backup is not the same as an image backup.
See this thread if it helps

Yes you can see it and the box can download it but you need to put it on a USB to flash it.
Easiest way is make a backup in Backup Manager. Download image to USB key. Flash the image. Once the new image boots arrive in the first install wizard. In there you are asked if you want to restore a backup. Just say yes and select the backup you made earlier. Select yes to restore plugins. Now let the box do its stuff.
Now you will have an image that is configured identical to how it was before you started.
Takes about 5 minutes.
