Octagon sx88 v2 - how to add openvix

You mean h265, where can you see dual on WOS can u link? I found it and yes wrong box.

But a lot of these boxes can be hacked, ie you can overwrite the OS but for this one I would not do it. Too risky.

It has a good dlna sever but you need to know how to set it up. You can access minidlna on vix and then change to dlna. However, NETWORKING is not my forte so can only do bits.

no there are 2 boxes may look same but are not hence dual boot sign. That’s why I asked for plate. It’s Linux os but image is called define os. How small is box can u give dimensions.

Its strange as box has no working menu to go through.

Added a YouTube video above might help?

Stick up a post on WOS as they might know how to change to openvix ?

I dont have the SX88 , but do have the Octagon S8008 extreme , the new one with the nvme hard drive.

The installed os is "Define" , this OS will let you install any image you want in its image manager and can do it over the network.

On mine , I just went into image manager , selected latest version of openvix , it downloaded and installed it , then asked if I wanted to reboot to that image.

Likewise if you want to go back to Define OS , Then reboot the box via Setup> Reboot-restart , and the box will ask what OS you want to boot too. ( In my case , thats either Define , openvix , openatv, openpli.)

The box has " unlimited" image slots , in that it uses sections of the HDD to create as many image slots as you want. Its a Great box for learning E2 and for experimenting.

If it has Define OS installed , then it should be easy to switch to vix , if not , or if its a less capable version of Define , then no I cannot help.

Define OS on its own is pretty much useless here , its aimed at German IPTV and cable.

Much the same as " Teamblue" Gigablue version of E2 that comes on the Gigablue boxes , its useless here , good for the German market , but useless here.

My S8008 is on "Define 07" , and some pics attached for reference.

Note that with Octagon and Define , you shouldnt remove the Define OS , if you do , there is a very long winded post on the openvix forums about how you get the multiboot emmc recovery firmware back onto the device.

Instead you go into image selector in the Define OS , and choose your E2 image , it will only show E2 images that are compatible with the box , openvix should be there , if not then openatv , if neither of those are available then the box is useless in Ireland.

Edit: Obviously the box must be connected to the internet for the above to work.

Heres some pics so you know the kind of options to look for ,

I use client mode on my Zero but only using Openvix.

I assume Open Atv might have it if going into Tuner setup and see if that lists Client Mode ?

If that was the case try setting it up with that and still have all the other features within the box and get more out of it.

Ahh i do see Openvix has a recovery file for that box, interesting.
