Hi all,

 

So having been a long time user of OpenVix, as title asks as I'M NOT SURE, if I was to flash VU DUO 4K to Openpli would I lose all the existing recorded items from TV etc on the installed HDD?

 

cheers

No. Everything on hdd is preserved.

Vu+DUO4KSE, DM920UHD, Vu+Uno4KSE, SF8008Mini, 2xPulse4K, Vu+Solo2, Dreambox DM500HD, Triax 78 (7E,9E,13E,19.2E,23.5E) & 2xTriax 78 (39E)

No.

 

A flash would only wipe everything in flash memory (or, if you are using multiboot, only the root filesystem in the multiboot slot).

 

You would lose all your configuration, timers, autotimers, channel list, etc, as they are located in the root filesystem. You could manually save them by copying /etc/enigma2 to a safe location.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

Easiest would be enable multiboot and flash PLi into a different slot. That way you can try PLi without deleting your current install.
