OpenBh 5.2

release_post.png

OpenBh 5.2 is based on the OE-Alliance 5.2 core.


So what is different in OpenBh 5.2 then?


The main change from OpenBh 5.1 to OpenBh 5.2 is that Python has been upgraded from Python 3.10 to Python 3.11 and gstreamer has been updated to version 1.20.4

Whats New:

  • OE-A 5.2
  • Python 3.11
  • Gstreamer updated to version 1.20.4
  • New Vu+ Multiboot feature added for all 4K Vu+ models
  • 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


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 5.1 and OpenBh 5.2 images.

PLEASE NOTE FROM THIS RELEASE 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.

with the new version 5.2 on the zero 4k receiver there is no option to enable multibot, while on the vu duo 4k se and vu solo 4k this option is visible because it has been tested.
is there a solution for this problem?
picture attached.

Hello, I have installed OpenBH 5.2 and activated Multiboot, will the images that I have installed on SSD using kexec with 5.1 work in version 5.2, if so, what should I do to make them visible?

Should be fixed now (online update), sorry we tested it over and over and then forgot to commit the change to the build.

Move the linuxrootfsX folders on your ssd, to the location used by Multiboot which will be the name of your box i.e /media/usb/ultimo4k or duo4k etc etc then create new usb slots from the mulitboot selector menu

It's a pity that under the red button there is no USB/HDD selection, I cheated Multiboot a bit by editing new slots, i.e. I changed UUID to usb to UUID from SSD and it works, but I couldn't see the previously installed images, so I removed them and reinstalled

There is no option to use hdd, mount your ssd as USB
ok .begin from scratch and mount my ssd as media/usb after formating in ext4.
but same result..no usb selection botton under red..
will this work when we will fulfill 3 slots?as i install only one image.

The driver should be available on the feeds.

The file has been generated on the build server and is present in the Packages file... Please double check if is on the previous page... The list is quite long... Maybe you missed it
