Now we have two Open Vision versions “7.3 and 9.3” and they’re both stable and each model has only one of them not both versions, as 9.3 is based on the master branch of OpenEmbedded we’re going to build 9.3 images with python 3 later in 2020!

As the first team with most newest OE for enigma2, probably we’re going to be the first team to use python 3 with enigma2 too.

Still we’re changing so many plugins in order to be compatible with multilib images and “usr/lib64”, beside that we’re changing enigma2 to be compatible with python 3 as well.

Stay tuned for more exciting news!

We’re going to migrate to Open Vision 9.3 in spring 2020 and we will remove metas from 7.3 one by one but as some models are still using old kernels like 2.6.18 (dm800) we will keep 7.3 for those models and sadly there will be no 9.3 for them.

It’s possible to release 9.3 for those models, we don’t say it’s not possible but the thing is we need to downgrade lots of packages in order to do that so the result will be something like 7.3 again.

Old models still will get some of the updates like enigma2 updates …

Open Vision 9.3 is the newest enigma2 image on the planet because we use master branch of OE for 9.3 and each 15 days we sync it with https://github.com/openembedded

• GCC 9.2.0
• Glibc 2.30
• GStreamer 1.17.0.1 (latest git)
• FFmpeg 4.2.2
• Python 2.7.17
• OpenSSL 1.1.1d
• Busybox 1.31.0

Wish you the best,
May Open Vision be with you.

Persian Prince is working on SH4 so we should expect good news, here’s what he wrote:

My main focus is now on SH4 development till February 2020 then it would be Amlogic.

To-Do list:

– Support forever_2424hd, forever_3434hd, forever_9898hd and forever_nanosmart (Fortis 4th generation) (WIP)
– Support enigma2 boot on H205 platform which needs creating new loaders (Done)
– Support STi H205 platform (Done)
– Support qboxhd and qboxhd_mini (No ETA)
– Support creating flashable images (Done)
– Support Reseller ID (Done)
– Support UBIFS images (Done)

So we will see new enigma2, kernel and driver changes regarding SH4.

Hi everyone,

My new test images will be uploaded on http://www.mediafire.com/folder/nlkzsek307bpf/openvision-test-images-by-persianprince

I will release 7.3 images for all STBs listed here: https://github.com/OpenVisionE2/openvision-oe/blob/develop/Vision-metas.md

These images don’t have any feed/online server as they’re just for test.

No 9.2 images for now as my main focus is to first release images for all brands/models.

There we will tell you how you could contribute to Open Vision and help us grow together.

As our build server isn’t quite ready and we need more testing and testers regarding both Open Vision 7.2 and 9.1 since now you’re allowed to publish development versions with “unofficial-version” tag, read:

* Are you allowed to compile development versions? Yes!
* Are you allowed to distribute development versions? Yes but only with “unofficial-version” tag.
* Are you allowed to make our images compatible with clones? Yes!
* Are you allowed to distribute cloned images? Yes but only with “clone-version” tag.
* Do we support clones? No!
* Are you allowed to make backup of our images? Yes!
* Are you allowed to distribute backup images? Yes but only with “backup-version” tag.
* Do we provide support for self-building? No! We prefer to work on our projects.
* Do we need more Vision Developers? Absolutely yes! Contribute to our git and we will contact you!
* Do we need more Vision Testers? Absolutely yes! Test our images and report bugs, help us grow you’ll see the title flows.
* Do we support our image in multiboot situations? No! Check about screen and if our module is not loaded then you’re on your own!

In the past few days “Hains” added “GStreamer 1.17.0.1” support to Open Vision but this time we’re going to use the latest OpenEmbedded (master branch) so you’ll see:

GCC 9.1.0
Glibc 2.29
Python 2.7.16
OpenSSL 1.1.1b
Busybox 1.30.1

and more soon …

Public releases: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/nlkzsek307bpf/openvision-test-images-by-persianprince (Please share this on all forums)

Sources: https://github.com/OpenVisionE2/VisionDroid

VisionDroid is based on dreamDroid sources: https://github.com/sreichholf/dreamDroid

We need to change some dreamDroid logos and svg files and adapt VisionDroid to be compatible with Open WebIF not Dreambox WebIF.

“Persian Palace” android app isn’t ready yet because the enigma2 plugin should be adapted for Open Vision and I’m working on it (It was for “Persian Empire” images before).

As I mentioned in the news: https://openvision.tech/?p=47 If you know android and enigma2, you could help us make VisionDroid more compatible with Open WebIF.

Open Vision now supports “Edision OS Mio 4K Plus” and “Amiko Viper 4K”, even Backup Suite supports them now (not tested), no r7 for new models as what we’re working on now is considered as 7.2-r12.
