The Sky HD skin on VIX combined with the Picons and all that jazz make the boxes so much better!

If you haven't switched yet, do it.

Download the .rar. Just looking through the thread and the latest build of the skin is available for download on the last page.

FTP the extracted .ipk file to the /tmp folder using dreambox control center or another FTP program and install via blue button > vix > install local extension. You can probably put the .ipk on a USB stick as well but I didn't install it that way.

i've installed it but removed it immediately since on my solo2 the gui runs very slowly with this skin installed

thanks anyway

New OpenViX Zeus image released :-)

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?36140-Vix-s-Zeus-release!

Images

So what is different in OpenViX Zeus then ?

The main difference is core of the image or the OE (Open Embedded); this has undergone a lot of changes, updates and fixes. As a user you should not notice any differences between OpenViX 3.0 and OpenViX Zeus. (i.e. there are no real functional differences. But as the last release is now over 3 months ago, several updates have been implemented).

Allows you to setup and automate the process of creating and maintaining a region specific channel bouquets for Sky (UK), Freesat (UK) and Sky Ireland (plus some European providers)

Quite simply, OpenViX offers the best EPG experience of any Enigma2 based image bar none !!

Just installed it and it works on Zeus

But I have no Picons; how do you add the Picons to it?

stanley1

put picons in folder named picon on usb stick, not sure, but you might have to format to ex3 linux.

Tony

Is there a similar skin for black hole by any chance ?

Yes does anyone know if a similar skin is available for a black hole image or maybe in the near future ?

FYI I posted a guide on how to set up a VPN server on Vix here:

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?36336-Guide-to-setting-up-an-OpenVPN-server-on-Vix

The same instructions should work for any recent Enigma2 based image.

They've killed off OpenVix

No more development, Zeus 023 final build.

Bad news, I dont like BH, no where near as simply laid out or as intuitive as OpenVix.

Cancel that, found the info:

It had to come at some stage I suppose.

Heavily dependant on one person is always a risk (Andy).

Not good new for their site sponsor. Most of his sales came through VIX / Zeus users me thinks...

Whats the next best image... Used Openpli in the past on other boxes and found it OK...

Only one guy was it, wow, ya fair play for his work all this time,
Bit of a shock, its come so quick after Zues release,
build 23 final build, patches the heartbleed bug, requires a full flash, but you can re-apply backed-up settings.

Id be interested to hear in other people's experiences with other vu duo specific images

dfdream

There were others involved but Andy was the driving force for development from the start..

With no official notice the rumours will begin. With it so close to the new release (zeus) its either a big bustup, personal reasons or big brother putting pressure (tv companies).

Maybe all is not lost,

some one posted a screen of the openvix github page, Andy has been seen committing code to a openvix-helios image in the last 24 hours !!

openpli was always my 1st choice always thought vix was a bit bloated.

023 does not patch the heartbleed bug. We were waiting for build 024 for that! Looks like we might never get that in Vix...

irishgeo

has openpli fixed the heartbleed bug?

irishgeo wrote: »

no, so far only the OE-Alliance teams who have moved over to OE-A v2.1 have fixes in place for the heart bleed bug.

Fair enough, I thought I saw them post on twitter it did, cant find the tweet now, its been deleted

eta, I read it here, ya post build, I see now, sorry for the confusion

IMPORTANT UPDATE POST BUILD 023.


Andy is currently merging the latest OpenEmbedded which will update the build environment to Oe-Alliance version 2.1.


This update fixes the Openssl heartbleed bug among other things and will require a full reflash, although this time you will be able to use a settings backup from your existing OpenViX Zeus image once you have flashed the new Image to save time.


More details will be posted as and when they become available.
