If you like OpenBh and you want to see it continue, please don't forget to donate towards keeping the servers online.

Keeping OpenBh and this Forum online is getting more and more expensive. It costs in the region of €2400+ per year to keep OpenBh and this Forum online. OpenBh has always been provided to completely free of charge by a number of hard working OpenBh Team members in their spare time.



OpenBh 5.4.1 is based on the OE-Alliance 5.4 core.



So what is different in OpenBh 5.4.1 then?


The main change from version 5.4 to version 5.4.1 has been changes to oe-alliance-core branch 5.4. The OE (Open Embedded) core on which the image is built has undergone major changes, updates and fixes. Version 5.4.1 uses Python version 3.12.3.

Whats New:

  • OE-A 5.4
  • Python 3.12.3
  • Gstreamer updated to version 1.22.12
  • If your favourite plugins no longer work, you will need to contact the plugin authors to ask them to update their plugins for Python3.12.3




*** You can not online update from 5.4 to 5.4.1, you must reflash (you can do this using image and backup manager and then restore your settings backup) ***





Apart from the above you should not notice many differences between previous OpenBh 5.4 and OpenBh 5.4.1 images.


*** NOTE ***

If you use CrossEPG, then you will need to delete the crossepg folder in /media/usb or /media/hdd before you can use it in OpenBh 5.4 onwards, this is due to changes made, to keep it compatible with Python 3.12.x

Where can I find the OpenBh git ?


The OpenBh git is located here: https://github.com/BlackHole


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 8/9 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:

Thanks to:

  • Rytec, doglover and all the teams that host EPG feeds for EPG Importer, for their continued support.
  • All developers for their plugins used in the feeds of this image.
  • dpeddi for the massive amount of work he did to bring real Multiboot to Vu+ 4K boxes.
  • Twol for the work he did in integrating Vu+ Multiboot into the images
  • All of the OpenBh Beta team for their hours of testing and dedication on improving the image.
  • All those who have submitted patches/fixes
  • To all who have submitted translation work for OpenBh.
  • Twol for the conversion to Python 3. This has involved manually converting literally hundreds of Python files and associated c++ code.
  • Huevos and Twol for testing, debugging, and responding to feedback and problems.
  • Huevos for his work on blindscan and ABM.
  • Peter de Jonge, abu baniaz & Huevos for their work with Andyblac to improve ABM.

Is something wrong with OpenBh 5.4.1.003 on "VU+ Duo 4K SE" ?
After a while i lost the LAN connection. And cannot access no more via LAN.
"Test Network" is showing all ok, but the "link" is not green and there is no access.

I had to change to wifi.
But i keep loosing the wifi network connection (after some hours) , and i have to reboot to get if working again.

All other devices are working ok on OpenBh 5.4.1.003
Best regards
 
I have OpenBh 5.4.1.003 on my DUO 4K SE, with Lan connection, works fine her, no troubles, but i don't use DHCP.

Try a fixed IP adress.
 
Indeed, this version has problems. Please make a new update and a new version, for example 5.4.1.004, and solve all the problems.

2 out of a couple of thousand downloads, with this issue.

I don't think the image is the problem.
 
You could be right. But ...
I can only say that the LAN and WIFI was randomly disappearing (Very strange) and when that happened, a reboot was needed. (PS. rebooting never ended (Had to do power off-on))
I disabled multiboot and reinstalled OpenBh 5.4.1.004 in flash.
For now LAN and WIFI are working normal. :)
All this could be a coincidence, but I cannot explain why this was not working, and "Network Test" was strange saying "Local network" not ok, but IP and Nameserver ok.

FYI:
Regarding my multiboot setup. I had only one image. OpenBh 5.4.1.004 installed in slot 1.
Best regards

I'm not an admin, but I think this is not the right way to approach, with this arrogant and superior way; If you are so smart and capable, create the image by yourself.
we need respect for those who do this work that we use


I don't have any problem with this image, and I think this is the most stable version I've ever tried ( I use OBH from the begin of her history, after years of BH).

Suspect the issue was caused by a plugin you had installed.
 
Consider that upgrading an image most of the time you upgrade Python version as well and plugins could not be as compatible anymore.
