Major releases (like 8 => 9) you must flash, preferably using the menu and choosing the backup option, then everything is restored after the flash. When there is no Hard disk present use an USB stick. 

Minor releases (like 8.1 => 8.2) are updates, so updating will suffice!

OpenPLi 9 - Migrated to Python 3

Release date 23 October 2023

Hello 3.145.10.80,

We are exited to announce the release of OpenPLi 9. As this is a major release flashing is required. With this version we switched to Python version 3 and it was build with a new OE version, as said flashing is needed, so you can not update to get to version 9. Flashing is preferably done from the menu. Please note, that with the migration to Python 3, not all the plugins will be available in the OpenPLi 9 feeds, this due to them not being actively maintained (Python 2) and could cause a crash, so they were removed. If you get them from the internet, check carefully in advance whether it is a version suitable for Python 3!

With this release there is new stuff and of course many improvements and it is now available for download at OpenPLi. So come and follow the link below and have a look at the release notes of OpenPLi 9.x to see what has changed.

Adding support for the Vu Duo4K, the Gamma Curve and a few more, also more functionality added; like multiboot for certain receivers. So come and follow the link below and have look at the release notes of OpenPLi 7.1.

Note: Combined tuners must be reconfigured after an update or flash. This is due to improving tuner management, which is not fully backwards compatible. Tuners that can work 'combined' are therefore 'default' disabled here.
