Hehe I always wanted to make one of these
I'm really thankful for all the respect and love I'm getting for these images.
But like hemertje said I'm now part of the group and not going to invest time in this anymore.
The team is working really hard to release a stable OpenPLi 5 for you all and it will be awesome!
Also these images may work, but you must know that they're really 'broken' in many ways.
For example the openembedded-core (and meta-embedded) were heavily modified (upgrading OpenSSL/ca-certificates, patching Python 2.7.3 etc..) and many packages weren't built the way they should have.
Also many recipes and patches are a big copy/paste mess, taking bits from various other projects etc..
So I'd like to invest time into testing and contributing to a clean and stable OpenPLi 5 release, since that's the way forward.
As for the PLi-5 stable release (@PLi core-members correct me if I'm wrong), you'll have to know that some of the packages found in my unofficial images will not (yet) be part of it.
For example it will feature gstreamer 1.8.x but packages like (full) ffmpeg, serviceapp and exteplayer3 will have to wait for the PLi-5 nightly releases.
Other than that, it will be great with MANY under the hood changes, basically the whole base (e.g. gcc, libc, python, openssl) has been upgraded.
For those who cannot wait, I'd suggest you take a look at the wiki which explains howto build yourself a nice image.
Many forum-members are already building their own PLi-5 beta images
And mx3L (the creator of serviceapp) is very nice to release his serviceapp/exteplayer3/gstplayer recipes which you only need to unpack into your meta-local directory.
Also if you're having trouble building it, the members here will be happy to aid you in any questions.
Please note that I'm no longer going to support third-party hardware.
For the spark-owners among us, I suggest you should try Taapat's image.
It's very nice and he really put lots of efforts in making it one of the best images for the hardware, especially for IPTV-related things (libeplayer is getting much love from him).
For our Dreambox 800HD users, I promise I'll release the sources in the future.
Keep in mind that it needs some cleaning (and removing of some private stuff) so it will take a while since I'm limited in time.
But who knows I might do a proper PLi-5 image for it, in the far future (if time allows it)
And for the oe-alliance images.. well I suggest you should go to oe-alliance
Thanks again for all the feedback (which was helpful to the developers) and also all the kind words from you testers.
With kind regards!

All this will find it's way into OpenPLi 5 (not the first released stable), so I assume it will find it's way into several OpenPLi based images. Currently, there is no OpenPLi 5 support planned for any Dreambox model.
