Intro

OpenPLi is constantly updated by the developers, so it is prudent to update it from time to time and this can be easily done from the menu.


Internet connection

If you want to update your receiver it has to be connected to the internet. Go to Main menu -> Setup and press Update, then after a few seconds (depending on your network speed or internet speed) in this case it reports that there are 3 packages that can be updated.

Best option to update

The recommend option to update is "Update and reboot (recommended", this option will update OpenPLi and after this has been done reboot your receiver, so all updated files are installed.

Flash recommend

Once in a while there maybe many packages to update, it can be more than a few 100, then it will recommend you to flash instead of update. You can of course ignore the option to flash and choose "Update and reboot (recommended)", but it can take a long time for the process to complete.

If you choose to 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.
