ViX-HD_experimental

OpenViX-HD is a personal experimental image, it is branched off from the original ViX image to support a new skin that myself and simonsez developed (YouViX) that uses the 1080 framebuffer that is enabled in the Gigablue drivers and because it doenst look right on a normal vix image. i thought i would put it out for download.

the skin is FULL-HD 1080 and the image has my own tweaks and things done to it so it may differ slightly.

Gigablue have support for this so the image is ONLY for Gigablue Quad atm, i dont have other devices to test. but i believe the 1080 framebuffer is enabled on Xtrend & OdinM9 devices also.

the image has the same feeds and downloads as per the original vix image, minus some bits that ive removed for compatibility.

the code in e2 has been altered for 1080 quite abit to make this happen which in turn has rendered quite a few plugins not viewable properly until i skin them. they will come soon. i dont use that many external plugins although a few extra ones have been done for those few who have been using the image already. there are a few niggles but nothing major. will all get fixed in online update.

BUILD 29 online

BUILD 31 online

BUILD 059 now available from www.openvix.co.uk

This has now been merged into the oe-a git and with openvix. this is why it took a while.

Most stuff has been reset from the vix-hd builds to match the original vix image, feeds and config wise. so they should be identical bar a few tweaks here and there.

Machines with the 1080 framebuffer supported so far are:-

Xtrend 8000
Xtrend 10000
Gigablue 800 SE PLUS
Gigablue 800 UE PLUS
Gigablue QUAD
Gigablue QUAD PLUS
Mut@nt HD2400

If you plan to use it and find any bugs or things not skinned right, let me know, SCREENSHOTS speak more than words...
help me to help you.!

i believe its on the manufacturers to-do list to enable 1080p framebuffer.
it requires it in the drivers.
