Vu+ Real Multiboot Now Available

It is impossible for "vu duo 4k" to multiboot to work on usb, I tried different usb flash usb 2.0/usb 3.0/usb3.1 but with no result it loads the image in usb after it finishes it reboots but returns to the RECOVERY image but it doesn't work anymore it connects to the terminal even though it is in RECOVERY, but from the menu I can order a reboot from Eecovery Mode and then I can connect to the terminal.
The same thing happens to me with openmultiboot when I used it
In hdd (ssd) everything is perfect but if I connect ssd via usb it does the same thing as with usb flash.
As with the normal ram memory, it should be 2gb and it is only 527mb

It is a known issue with some fast usb sticks, however we have resolved it in the release version.

I flashed 5.2 on a Solo4K, set as you say only the LAN and the FTP password.
Then I installed a new 5.2 in the Slot1 and set the same, just to begin the work.
Then I installed a fullbackup of my 4.4 in the slot 2 and it works.
But now, I can't find how to reboot in the new 5.2 in slot 1: obviously, as the new multiboot submenu is included in the StartUp-StandBy, I can't have it in the old 4.4 Power Menu nor in the Plugins.
How to solve? Is there a key I can press at the boot or similar? Thanks and regards.

I found out that maybe I misunderstood the HowTo Guide about the new MB, but the images installed in the slots does not reside in the internal disk and I was not asked where I wanted to install them.
They are all in the flash under /boot and to re-enable the slot 1 I had to edit STARTUP file. Not really comfortable actually.

How should I proceed to install MB images in USB or Internal SSD?

Use Device Manager, set up mounts, save and then the UUIDs for the devices will be assigned. The option under the red button should appear,
but if you want to have another image(4,5,6,7...) on the SSD, you have to mount it under usb

mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

Try,

I made a simple image selector
for old OBH 4.4
Just two files in my zip for OBH
You will not get the names of the images, only the Slot numbers 1.2.3, and the Recovery image.
Copy menu.xml to /usr/share/enigma2/
(make a backup of the old one just in case)
and copy RecoveryStart.pyo to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/
Do not forget
Restart enigma2
Now you have in Standby/restart Menu ,image/slot selector only for flash 4 slots/images.shot1.jpg

Is the procedure also valid for other images? I had the same problem when installing BH3.1 in slot2 on Zero4k
Seems that similar solution for the BlackHole image already exists here , thanks to all involved.
A good news for me knowing that after finally moving to OBH there will be a safety option to boot my old trusty BH image.

You will not get the names of the images, only the Slot numbers 1.2.3,4,5,6,7,8 and the Recovery image.
Copy menu.xml to /usr/share/enigma2/
(make a backup of the old one just in case)

Do not forget
Restart enigma2
