OpenPLi 6.0


OpenPLi 6.0.png

OpenPLi is proud to present the next release of our image, OpenPLi 6.0. A lot has changed since OpenPLi 4, so we made a releasenote with all the changes. OpenPLi 5 was not released to the public, because we used it for our development to make OpenPLi 6. The images can be downloaded at: https://openpli.org/download

In the future we're continuing developing which results in new releases, but there will be a difference in releasing...

We will only be releasing stable versions now. So changes that you'll notice is when there is an update from OpenPLi 6.0 to 6.1 and future versions. Developing will be done internally and home builders can also make an extraction of our develop version.

Should you wait for a long period for a new release? Well, that depends.. If a new feature is ready, that feature will become public. It can sometimes take weeks, but also months before a feature becomes available.

We also have rebuild our Wiki and made a lot of new articles to read. We will continue to expand our wiki to make it a handy knowledge base for our supported receivers. Have a look at: https://wiki.openpli.org


To be clear, for the following brands/models there will not be an OpenPLi 6.0:

  • DM800SE, (insufficient flash space)
  • Golden Interstar (all models, no BSP support from the manufacturer for the OE upgrade)
  • Wetek Play (no BSP available with Gstreamer 1.x support)

OpenPLi 4 will remain available for these models, once OpenPLi 6.0 Release is available, we'll have a look to see if we can find a way to refresh things like satellites.xml, channel lists, picons, etc for OpenPLi 4 without having to build new images.


New features:
