OpenATV 7.6 – Discussion & New Features

Update ffmpeg and exteplayer 3 to v.178 for ServiceApp. The procedure is the same. With the telnet command uninstall both old 177 version and reboot the receiver. Install exteplayer 3 first and reboot, then ffmpeg and reboot again.

Thanks skyjet18

Both (exteplayer3, ffmpeg) are copied together to tmp and installed.

It is better if you install the .ipk one after the other, then in the output you can see what/where is installed.

Important:

If you install the .ipk one after the other, exteplayer3 must be installed first,

because ffmpeg depends on exteplayer3 !

opkg remove --force-depends ffmpeg

opkg remove --force-depends exteplayer3

reboot

opkg install --force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk

reboot

I asked a while ago the author to update them to the new version, because the previous version 177 was no longer displayed in the new versions of the OpenATV 7.6 image in the ServiceApp application. Guys, keep in mind that after updating exteplayer3 or ffmpeg for the unofficial version 178, it may happen that plugins that check the existence or versions of these modules will stop updating. I noticed this, for example, with plugins like Vavoo or WorldCam and I didn't test any further.

We've discussed the following issue in the past in another thread, but since it was never mentioned, I'll present it here.

The sorting of the images list for a Complete Backup is incorrect, unlike the lists in Flash Manager and Multiboot Manager.

I don't think it only happens to me (Octagon sf8008 - Εdision osmio4kplus).

I am not sure if it's a common problem, but recently I got this issue: my device manager goes into continuous error like below, even with the correct fstab data

I think the problem was usage of multiple contents instead of templates, it was a trial from my side to standardized the list across the skin.

Do we have text reference instead of the current names like (size, device,... etc)

I downloaded the June 30/07/2025 version, it works fine my vu+uno old

vu+uno old openatv 7.6 not work

Any idea on when the 7.6 will be officially released? Thanks.

hi

I have now tested the Vu+ Uno with OpenATV 7.6, and it works. I will also test 7.5.1 later.

Important notes:

This box only has 128 MB of flash memory!

Without a USB stick used as a Flash Expander and SWAP storage, you can no longer use the new images.

1. Flash the image via USB.

2. The StartWizard will launch—do not abort it.

3. When prompted for the Flash Expander:

   • Use the Yellow button to format a suitable USB stick.

   • After formatting, use the Green button to convert the device into a Flash Expander.

4. /usr will then be moved to the stick, and the missing IPKs will be downloaded and installed from the feed.

Only then is the image fully ready!

Next, you can enable Multiboot, but this requires another USB stick.

When an image is started via Multiboot, the wizard will no longer ask for a Flash Expander.

Only a swap file is needed to expand the box’s memory.

Once everything is set up, you can use the box normally.

Important:

If at any point the flash partition is needed and the first Flash Expander USB stick is missing, the box will crash.

So always remember to keep the stick connected!

i found a issue with small box, minilocate missing on feed, i add the missing ipk, wait for new image

I have tested the Vu+ Uno openatv 7.6 with miltiboot not works. in Flash not works not startingue
