    KODI request.

    Hi. I have just updated from 5.3.014 to 5.3.023. I wish I hadn't as I see the only kodi version available now is 18.6

    Would it be possible to put kodi 17.6 back in the plugins for us solo2 users.

    I have a "no sound" issue with kodi 18.6 but kodi 17.6 worked great.

    Not possible unfortunately. Can you not go back to the earlier ViX builds with Kodi 17.6 in the feeds?

    I can't imagine "no sound" can't be sorted in Kodi 18.6

    Little workaround tested on an Vu+ Uno4k.

    If anyone / user wants to try for themselves, all at own risk heres the files (honestly they just take from 17.6 on OpenPLI as most Open OE feeds now the 18.6. (pretty much just so it makes it play external e2 player, if people people prefer playback via old method)

    Go on FileZilla or similar
    Go to the location /usr/share/kodi/system
    Back up (download originals to a folder on PC) and replace the playercorefactory.xml and advancedsettings.xml with ones attached.

    This will then make the Kodi 18.6 play externally as prior versions.

    Works Perfect on my Uno4k on OpenVIX, PurE2, OpenATV 6.4, OpenBH, OpenSPA, just means external play.

    Disclaimer - this is just me messing about, not OpenVIX related, try at own will.

    Same problem here "NO SOUND" on my VUDUO2, this fix worked for me too.
    Is there any quality control procedures in place with theses updates?

    Thanks

    Never any quality control procedures at Vu+ usually.

    I have just updates to and again have the no sound problem.
    I thought danny121pt s fix would solve the problem. I overwrote "playercorefactory" but there is no "advancedsetting" to overwrite.

    Also when exit kodi it just hangs, it wont go back to tv.

    Any help please.

    Does that mean you didn't copy advancedsettings.xml ??

    If you haven't worked it out already Kodi is flaky - even on my Android media player updating Kodi brings all sorts of new (& often old) issues - don't expect any image to do anything than provide the Kodi plugin....... E2 is a sat system image and not a media player
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    I'm sure I've said this before, but if you'd taken an image backup of 5.3.034, then you could be running it again in a few minutes.

    Gone back to 5.3.034 and all good again, but I would still like to be able to use kodi on 5.4.003 image if anyone has the answer.

    There's a mention of no sound on Vu boxes in post #1 here...
