    How to flash a second image as multiboot

    Is there a guide on how to flash a second image?
    At the moment I have openvix as only and main image.

    I would like to try a second image, no vix, and install it into another partition.

    Image manager can download other openvix images, but doesn't recognise other images saved on the HDD.

    Thanks

    How to flash a second image as multiboot

    You'll have to wait for next update to use multiboot function.

    Until then, there is open multi boot

    Until vix fully support multiboot, you’ll have to start with a different image that does. I used OpenATV, then flashed vix from within that.

    We're working on this at the moment, not 100% sure if we're going to implement it yet. Currently being tested.

    Imho I feel that OpenMultiboot plugin is much user friendly and easier to use, not a massive speed difference using OpenMultiboot imo.

    I'm trying to find some time to put a fully guide together.

    Quick guide below:

    1) FTP zip file of chosen image to your storage device, will be something like media/hdd/imagebackups
    2) Blue button > ViX > Image Manager > Select the image you want to flash > Press Blue button or OK.
    3) You will be prompted to choose a slot. Slot 1 will be your current booting image.
    4) Ensure you choose an image that supports Multiboot such as ATV or PLi.

    Once flashed, you can switch images by holding down power button on remote > Multiboot > Select slot to boot from.

    HD51 has bootmode 1 & 12 ... default is normally bootmode 1 (also for Kodi).
    If I remember correctly it gives a hardware pip (which was popular here) and some screen differences

    Is there a proper guide yet?

    Wanted to try a different image using multiboot, when i go to flash and choose the image it warns about eMMC flash and doesn't show any info about slots.

    I'm running OpenViX 5.1.028 on solo 4k.

    Solo 4K does not support hardware multiboot. You can use openMultiboot if you want.

    Is it a driver issue waiting on VU+ or is the hardware just not capable? Is openmultiboot in plugins or will I need to source elsewhwere?

    Hardware multiboot is a machine feature. The receiver either has it or hasn't. Hardware multiboot is available on the ET8500, HD51, GB Ultra

    open multiboot is a plugin. Best you continue in the open multiboot threads instead of this one.

    GB models Quad 4K and Ultra UE 4K both support multi-boot.
