The main change from version 5.2 to version 5.3 has been to upgrade from oe-alliance-core branch 5.2 to 5.3. The OE (Open Embedded) core on which the image is built has also undergone major changes, updates and fixes, and uses the latest bitbake version. Version 5.3 uses Python version 3.11.2 which is on average 25% faster than Python 3.10 when measured with the performance benchmark suite.
Whats New:
OE-A 5.3
Python 3.11.2
Gstreamer updated to version 1.22.3
Vu+ Multiboot feature added for all 4K Vu+ models and now updated to make the install process automated.
If your favourite plugins no longer work, you will need to contact the plugin authors to ask them to update their plugins for Python3.11.2
Added support for Gigablue UHD Trio4K Pro
Vu+ Multiboot wouldn't have been possible without the hundreds of hours that dpeddi has spent over several years (yes it's been an on going project for him in his spare time for many years) to bring this real multiboot option for all Vu+ 4K boxes.
It is something we requested from Vu+ around 7/8 years ago and they told us it was not possible to add it, well finally we can prove them wrong.
You will find more information on how to setup and use Vu+ Multiboot here:
Apart from the above you should not notice many differences between previous OpenBh 5.2 and OpenBh 5.3 images.
PLEASE NOTE WE WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTING THE FOLLOWING BOXES, Edision OS Nino Pro, OS Nino +, Amiko Viper4K V40 However we may build images for these models in our "Community" images at a later date if there is enough interest.

Please note, that the video refresh has never worked correctly and has been completely reworked, therefore you might find you need to adjust your settings if doing an online update.
Set the resolution of your tv (2160p, 1080p etc) then select Refesh Rate auto (not all boxes support p24, so those boxes will not be affected).
For 99% of users with a modern tv set, you should only need to use the Refresh Rate auto option and HDMI Colourspace should be set to Auto.
Only those with older tv's may need to adjust the HDMI Colourspace, if you find the colours are washed out, or if the screen is Green or Pink, in which case changing the option to RGB or 4:2:0 should fix this.
The Autores option has been removed as it should never be required now, however if you still feel that you do need this option for some reason, then you will find it on the feeds under systemplugins section.
