thank you

 

WHY NO?WHY VU,DMM,XTREND and GIGA no?....hmm,ok i unterstand

 

other topic does not interest me, this is my question and my topic.......no petition

 

with such a response is likely to change my opinion about you (TEAM)

In my opinion probably does not matter to you (TEAM)

 

have a nice day

Thanks for your compliment. But we cannot support all boxes, we have to choose.
If you want to use something like OpenPLi on your box there is probably a spinoff image which does support gigablue.

My question to you. If you want OpenPLi on your box, why did you buy a box which we don't support.

As Hemertje says, it has been explained a million times, but bottom line is:

 

We do this for free, in our free time. Therefore there must be a challenge in it for us, a new device must give us enough to make us want to spend our free time on it.

 

Another point is that we are not here to make a vendor sell more hardware. So if a vendor wants us to support them, they have to come forward, they have to make sure they provide adequate support for OpenPLi (as in drivers, patches, test equipment, etc). We don't want to spend time on it without tht support, and we're also not willing to add hacks into the code because of non-standard behaviour of the supplied drivers. Issues on this level can only be addressed when there is a direct line to the vendor and it's development team.

understand, but it's sad, new users have to suffer, I know how it is with passion, are in this hobby for 7 years
why I chose giga? choose alternative all the time, it's too big deal for VU and DMM
as it is for you passion and for me too.....not a business for others

for an old receiver that still do dm500 images (a good job) ... this is life )) but why not for giga? .... )

ok, thanks for the replies

 

have a nice day and excuse my english

[littlesat]

but why not for giga?

There hasn't been any development on E1 images for years now. The reason that you can still download them is simply because the nightly builds still run. We don't have to put any effort in, it runs automatically, so why stop it?

 

Adding support for new hardware is quite a lot of work, not only in setting it up initially (although that might already prove a huge task if the support of the vendor isn't what it should be), but also in support afterwards. It means several team members need to have the different hardware models, and they have to test every change in the code on every box, every day. We already have to do that for 22 different STB models.

ok, once again thank you for your attention
I was talking to the team gigablue fell as possible
If they are interested you could do anything?

Thanks for all the answers

 

I can be the first beta tester ) for you

[hemertje]

another team can use our OpenPLi sources as base

[pieterg]

The gigablue hardware might be quite interesting, but the driver quality is not up to scratch.
If we were to support the gigablue, we would be sending the signal that the quality is up to what we expect of an stb, which I'm afraid it isn't.

Also, if you are a user, and you expect that getting OpenPLi support is going to make your gigablue receiver more stable, well, it isn't.
We just build the distribution and the userinterface, we cannot improve the hardware drivers, and we cannot (and will not) work around flaws in those.
And if you are a salesperson or distributor and hope to get OpenPLi support to boost your sales, well, that's not going to happen. We will not support a receiver if it is not up to our standards.

We only build images for receivers which we think are good enough to put in our own livingrooms, and trust with our own valuable recordings.

all images for gigablue are based gigablue openpli 3.0

 

OPENATV.......OPENMIPS...........OPENRSI....OPENSIF......OPENVIX..etc

not the salesperson and I do not care

you say,I'm sorry but I can not agree ... to make a comparison  gigablue 800SE and dm800SE? do not think,and examples can continue

I said I have some years in this hobby and I know enough

 

sorry to not give a chance to other receivers .. but interests

you say it's not passion, it's business

I am a user and not ditch one who wanted to provide support for giga openpli but I think I got something really knew

thanks again

[hemertje]

it's not business, it's our spare free hobby coding time besides our social and professional lives

[dMd]

then stays dead this chapter

thanks
