openvixhd

[rossi2000]

Evening

Some of you have already noticed the openvixhd builds on openvix.co.uk.

This was my initial ViX-HD build with a new 1080p skin that was developed, but required image changes to make it look right.

This has now been merged into the oe-a git and with openvix. this is why it took a while.

Most stuff has been reset from the vix-hd builds to match the original vix image, feeds and config wise. so they should be identical bar a few tweaks here and there.

Sample screenshots:-

Ignore the post text as most of it is irrelevant now.

Machines with the 1080 framebuffer supported so far are:-

Xtrend 8000
Xtrend 10000
Gigablue 800 SE PLUS
Gigablue 800 UE PLUS
Gigablue QUAD
Gigablue QUAD PLUS
Mut@nt HD2400
Vu+ Solo SE
Vu+ Solo2
Vu+ Duo2
Vu+ Duo
Vu+ Uno
Vu+ Solo
Vu+ Ultimo


If you plan to use it and find any bugs or things not skinned right, let me know, SCREENSHOTS speak more than words...
help me to help you.!

What's the best resolution to use? I have a 1080p TV and a Duo2.

I'm confused... can I still use the VIX-Night-HD with buid 70 on a Duo2?

[rossi2000]

not on openvixhd

[2stein]

so, when I do an update I automatically get openvixhd? or do I have to do a re-flash with openvixhd?

[rossi2000]

reflash is needed

OpenViX and OpenViX HD are two separate image lines, you need to reflash if you want to switch between the two.

[2stein]

ok, good, thanks. makes sense. just wanted to be sure.
but one more question: why are two streams needed? why isn't it just another skin?

[Larry-G]

Because the ordinary skins are not compatible with the 1080 skins and vice versa, plus rossi had to tweak some code to get every thing working properly, which would have looked out of place in the base ViX image. Hence the two different image lines.

I'm currently on openvix 070 on a vu+ Duo2,
If I install the openvix HD (A full clean flash via USB) Is it possible to do a settings backup from the openvix (Non HD) or do I need to reset everything up again from scratch?
Will the openvix HD work with the Blue HD skin?

I'm not 100 percent sure but I would think a settings backup would work but dont quote me on that.

[Andy_Hazza]

Settings backup works just fine. BlueHD isn't compatible with openvixHD.

[Larry-G]

BlueHD isn't compatible with openvixHD.

Not a bad thing in my opinion, If you want a sky uk themed skin, use a sky uk receiver (thats all i'm saying on that one LMAO).
