Known issues:

avahi-daemon fails to start

When you upgrade online from 6.0 to 6.1, you could run into the problem that the avahi-daemon doesn't want to restart, which means you won't be able to access to box via it's "<boxname>.local" name.

It can be solved by flashing a new image (both 6.0 and 6.1 are fixed), or if you can handle the commandline, by copy and pasting these commands:

opkg update

opkg remove avahi-daemon --force-depends

/etc/init.d/dbus-1 restart

opkg install avahi-daemon

box not visible in Windows

When you restore an old(er) backup, you could also restore a samba configuration file that has broken Netbios browsing support. To address this, manually replace /etc/samba/smb.conf with the default https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenPLi/openpli-oe-core/release-6.1/meta-openpli/recipes-connectivity/samba/samba/smb.conf smb.conf].

unable to watch a running recording on a CIFS mount

This is due to a change in the kernel CIFS drivers, which prevents regular updates of the recordings file size. Because of this, Enigma doesn't see the file growing as the recording progresses, so it stops prematurely. A possible workaround is to add cache=none to the mount options of your mounted share, and remount the share. Note that this still doesn't update the recording time properly, but al least playback no longer stops.
