I'm not sure what is "major e2 distro", but, as we wrote most of the e2 drivers for that box, the problem lies in manufacturer's protection, which is pain in the ass to port to a newer build systems. A new image would require a custom hybrid build environment --> free time/nerves :)

Backup settings, after reflash, you'll be asked whether to restore settings and plugins.

pls check 6.3 linkdroid folder
-
Perhaps, now, solo2 works?
-
New gstreamer version 19.1.x, ffmpeg, E2 fixes, and some other stuff.
I guess SW update, simple one could work, but if there is some drama --> reflash
-
It was probably a few months old image, refalsh with a new image should be ok and safe as some things have changed.
-
Hi doll, thx on a report! Sadly we are kinda short on Vu boxes, but we'll try to check on the other hw.
-
Ah well, ok, we'll try to fix stuff for 6.2, sorry, you are right it seems that we have forgotten some 6.2 users :(
-
Ehh, sorry, we are kind of dysfunctional in the images backup business :) I'm pretty sure there are some threads on this forums that handle backups/improvements.

Edision 4k models: new kernel v 5.14 (wow!, again, bravo), drivers....
In short, reflash of images from 31.8.2021 or newer is needed.
-
v 6.5 images dated 30.8.2021 (or newer) for the following boxes;
Amiko Viper4k
Octagon 8008/8008m
Uclan Ustym 4K Pro
need to be reflashed (simple SW update will fail miserably), due to big changes in kernel and almost all the other code.
Sorry for the trouble, but it was needed to fix some gray spots, including Kodi native HW player mode (we did use SW mode for the player which had some drama with 10bit content). -
Ahoy, some happy updates like filmxy, rather reluctantly some Vus, etc.
-
Dinobot (Vivant, not OEMs) fixed flash online, which was away for some time due to dumb coding SNAFU.
-----
There is a more specific, kinda good news, for Dinobot Elite4k users. There are probably not much of them, but the box (u56) is pretty decent with T2/C+SX2, 2GB RAM, bunch of flash that includes nice Tegra X1 based Android.
It seems some of these Elite boxes were actually Pro models, at least in my case and for a bunch of other users.
Fix: flash pure2 dinobot4kelite-2021 image, and after that flash 4kPro image.
I know it sounds confusing, but some people might be happy. The whole thing was confusing for me as well :) -
There are new SH4 images. As per backups, sadly, we cannot help much as we have no idea what was inserted/changed there (except for some Swiss made stuff, completely unrelated to sh4).
-
Besides, for all the boxes, Estuary skin , plugins like wazzup, livefeeds, etc updated. I hope all works reasonably well :) We are still working on some other stuff, but so far, it seems ok
-
Edision 4k models very likely need reflash due to new kernel 5.13 (and drivers)
Almost all the images for supported boxes are updated. -
v65 considered (well as far as it can be...) stable. I hope it works for you guys.
-
Updated v6.5 for h2s family (bunch of boxes) is ready.
-
Great and thx on reports! I was somewhat confused why some people still use v 6.3 for giga quad(plus). I hope it was a typo :)
-
thx, not really our code, but I hope we the team can check it out....
