  • Hi, if i install Black Hole 3.0.5.L Quad PiP for my ultimo 4k will it be online updateable? Currently running vix without issues but my last blackhole image was not online updateable and always gave me an error when trying to update.


    So i had to reflash to update. How can you tell which versions are updateable?


    Having to put all my sat positions in everytime i updated was to much hassle.


    Is there a way to back up sat positions from my receiver if i wanted to go back to blackhole?


    Cheers.

    Because Team BlackHole is a Vu+ support team only so all there images are for VU+ only and are built on the Vu+ original image.

    There are hacked images for Dreambox Clones and some original but not made by the BlackHole team.

    BlackHole 3.0.8 release 24.12.2018



    34666053wb.jpg

    34666048lm.jpg


    Whats New:


    Many bug fixes

    Added Serviceapp with Exteplayer3

    New Bootlogo

    Updated Mediatree to support more USB tuners

    Updated Duo4K Drivers


    BH 3.0.8 onwards includes ServiceApp and Exteplayer3 which gives improved media playback /

    streaming performance.


    It is pre-installed in all boxes, except Gen1 Solo, Duo, Uno, Ultimo and Zero,

    so you will have to enable it from the BH SpeedUp menu on those boxes.


    To use it with IPTV, you can either leave the ServiceApp settings as default

    and in your IPTV lists, just change the #SERVICE 1:0:1: or #SERVICE 4097:01: to #SERVICE 5002:0:1:


    Doing this, Exteplayer3 will only be used on your IPTV streams.


    Or you can change the default setting of Enigma2 playback system in the ServiceApp menu from Original to Exteplayer3.


    Note: that you can not record IPTV streams if you are using Exteplayer3 (however Enigma2 isn't reliable when recording IPTV anyway).


    Changing the setting in the ServiceApp menu,

    means that the image will no longer use the built in Mediaplayer (linked to Gstreamer)

    and will use ExtePlayer3 for all media playback for IPTV and streaming aswell as any movies / recordings on your hdd,

    doing this you won't need to convert your IPTV lists to #SERVICE 5002:0:1:

    ServiceApp and Exteplayer3 are both external plugins, and are not part of the BH image, therefore any users that do not want / need to use these plugins, can remove them via the BH SpeedUp panel.
