Good evening all, an Openvix newbie writes...
I've been using the standard Vu+ image on my solo2 for about a year and i'm going through "due diligence" before i power on with a USB bearing a new image inserted.
I don't think i'm going to be doing anything complicated - just the standard UK freeview channels from astra, no sky, no cam, quad LNB, LAN not wifi, no over-the-web streaming, built in 500Gb HDD...
Mostly i think i'm almost prepared, short of getting the latest available image the day before. But before i do, a couple of questions:
1. What will happen to the existing recordings on the HDD? The HDD will be wiped as part of the install process (don't think so)? Or they they'll be there but not watchable for decoding reasons or whatever?
2. I use the vu+ ipad app for radio streaming on an aging ipad1. Will this app still continue to function afterwards?
3. I assume openwebif is still going to work afterwards? Makes some things quite easy...
4. Will the existing list of services remain, or will i have to rescan? To be honest i probably should rescan anyway. it's been a good few months
Apart from this is there anything i may have forgotten, or other gotchas i may not have found by reading various bit of "stuff"
Cheers,
Mal
