Yes, they use eMMC. So you can't use mkubifs, nanddump and so on.

I guess it could work similar like now. You mount the rootfs to other place. Then you use tar bzip2 to compress it. Kernel file should be somewhere in the root filesystem. Maybe under /boot. Or they use a 2. partition for it......

... If you replace your LNB's with especially suited ones, you even get four individual virtual tuners per physical tuner.

 

I've seen this comment before (I think from betacentauri). What is this "especially suited one" LNB? Full band LNB on coax? (so far I have only seen optical full band LNB). Something else? Is there a specification/product link somewhere?

Thanks all for the info. Lets wait until Openpli comes also with an image (if any?).

I don't know the build env. Normally you should search for linux bitbake. E.g. here for xtrend box in openpli:

To answer my own question, after some searching it seems that the twin FBC tuners can work as eight independent tuners when used with Unicable or JESS (aka Unicable 2) LNBs and/or multiswitches. The biggest limitation of Unicable is that it only support two satellite positions and although JESS (Unicable 2) have increased this limit to 64 satellites, there is no multiswitch in the market to support more than four (4) satellites.

I haven't found any mentioning of neither PiP nor transcoding. Is it supposed to be a given for such a box or does it really just not offer those features?

VU+ told me transcoding is available like this: 1 stream of UHD or four streams of HD. That's the spec of the SoC, it's not sure if that's all exposed by the drivers.

Thx, that's somewhat the kind of info I expected to find somewhere.

Yes, sorry, my bad.

did anyone test already, and could say from own experience how many simultaneous recordings from different transponders are possible when having an unicable lnb connected to FBC tuner(s)?

The Blackhole review is hiding all issues. I found many issues just by testing it for half an hour, they don't mention anything.

 

1. USB tuners don't work due to driver misconfiguration. After installing a usb tuner, I get: 

[    3.826608] bh_dvb_core: exports duplicate symbol dmx_swfilter_hook (owned by kernel)
 
2. SAT>IP doesn't work at all.
 
3. XBMC still 13.2 like other VU+ boxes, while 15.2 exists
 
4. Minimum SoftCAM compatibility (actually only OSCAM)
 
And I still haven't tested the box media compatibility (image uses gstreamer 1.4.5) and tuners compatibility.

How do you mean?

 

I guess CCcam won't work because of the arch, but e.g. oscam should just work?

Only oscam works, nothing else. It's not only CCcam, there are many other emus with various uses and of course none works. While this is almost obvious (since VU+ Solo 4K is a new architecture), a review should at least mention it!

Hi Erik,

of course you need an ARM version of Oscam.
