With Real Vu+ Multiboot for all Vu+ 4K boxes.
OpenBh 5.3 is based on the OE-Alliance 5.3 core.
So what is different in OpenBh 5.3 then?
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
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.
