That is only from the recovery image, on the image itself you can flash any version ?

There are hardly ever any updates in an OpenPLi release image.
There is a warning out for updates, and appearently that code has not been checked or tested for a while, so the problem is rather the lack of an update .
So this needs looking at.

It has nothing to do with updates, or the update mechanism.
OpenPLi has a built-in warning system, where we can enable warnings for certain boxes and/or releases, to inform users not to update if there are issues, via a json file on our website.
A warning has been enabled for the SF8008, which might hang after an update due to a driver update issue. It is this enabling that is causing the green screen on both 8.3-release and 9.0-release.
I don't know what is causing the problem, and how to fix it, as I am not a Python developer. I've passed the issue on so it can be looked at.
In general, there is no need to ever update a release image, as the image itself hardly ever has updates. An update is only needed for stuff like picons, channel lists, or if you use the transponder xml for scanning.

Just to prevent the crash (Green Screen) :
1- Download the file : https://raw.githubus...VariableText.py
2- Change line-11:
From : self.message = text
To : self.message = str(text)
3- Copy the file to : /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/
4- Restart GUI.
Result: There will be no crash and a proper message will be shown.

I'm sure PLi Team has the proper solution, but that was a temporary approach for me on both version.
Image : OpenPLi 8.3-release
Build Date : 2024-01-17
Tested on : Octagon SF8008
And, for v9.0, it is line-10 in : https://gitlab.openp...VariableText.py

This is the correct fix: https://github.com/O...c9e3892fb9761e1
The problem exists because of a bug in the Python 2.7 version used in 8.3-release, in which json.load() returns a unicode string instead of standard string ( in python 3 terms, it returns str instead bytes ). This bug was not present in earlier versions, and corrected in later ones.
You can also fix it by updating on the commandline:
opkg update && opkg upgrade
or to flash the current 8.3-release with a backup/restore.
The change in VariableText is a hack, the problem should be fixed at source. Besides that, in Pyhton 3 str() won't work, as you need to encode/decode between str and bytes.
And downloading the develop version of the py and installing it in 8.3-release is very bad advice, that could lead to all kinds of trouble.
