I doubt it, there hasn't been any communication (i.e. response from their side) for months...

Yup, another one.
Flashing isn't a big issue, I sometimes do that ten or more times a day. Done in a few minutes.
But why is it like that though? The image is Linux based - I don't have to reinstall my Ubuntu server weekly just because there are too many updates available and the machine wouldn't boot afterwards. In fact, even major version upgrades are done without the need of reinstall, and no issues occur.

I can spend hours explaining the issues, but the TL;DR; is
- opkg is a very basic, and it makes sequence and dependency errors when you mass update packages
- when busybox is updated, it is removed first, which in turn removes most of the linux commnad, causing further updates to fail
Since most end-users have no clue how to revive a non-booting box, we decided to better be safe than sorry.

1. This is hobby and no business! We have other jobs and do this in our free time and you get everything for free!
2. We do our best, but sometimes it’s not possible or the effort is too much.
3. Updating is very often possible. In other images you need to reinstall more often.
4. If you backup your settings, a new flash is done in a few minutes. An update is not much faster.

Will still be 8.1, there is another glibc backport waiting in the windows, and that will again trigger a full rebuild of most OS packages.

Take an image backup of what you're currently happy with, then try flashing a later release and restoring settings and whatever else you need.
If you can't get it working, you can get back to where you were in a couple of minutes, and then work out what was missing.

Hi,
Same problem for me with openpli 8.1 Mount CIF no working on my Edision os mio 4k+
Returning home from my vacation I didn't read all postings so I am not aware whether you are informed that this issue is solved in the Nightly Build. I didn't read all postings anymore in this topic.
I just flashed the latest NB and now the Cifs mount to another box works again like before.
Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.
Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. 
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.
Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

There a few nightly builds recently but no stable build since the 18th so think they must still be working on one. The reason i asked as you said should be released sunday, monday. However like you said hobby not a business so no rush was just checking for an update. Thankz

There was a glibc patch, which causes all C code to be recompiled. Rebuidling the kernel, Kodi and Qt already takes about 1 hour per image alone.

Up to OpenPLi_7.3 and previous releases, on Octagon sf8008, I could access my external hdd with no problems. Since 8.0 and 8.1 releases, I cannot access the external hdd which has 4 partitions. Any suggestions, please? Thks.

Probably udev doesn't automount all your partitions?
Can you restart your box, login, issue the commands
dmesg | grep "sd" mount
and post the result here?

Thanks for your quick reply. As soon as I rebooted the Box, I could see all four partitions through either Media Player and File Browser Plugins. Many thanks.

Ok, so it magically fixed itself?
Did you plug in your external hdd after it was started? Then it might be a udev hotplug issue, as it seems to work if it is already connected when the box boots.
