[IMAGE] OpenBH 6.0 for Vu+
If you like OpenBh and you want to see it continue, please don’t forget to donate towards keeping the servers online.
Keeping OpenBh and this Forum online is getting more and more expensive. It costs in the region of €2400+ per year to keep OpenBh and this Forum online. OpenBh has always been provided to completely free of charge by a number of hard working OpenBh Team members in their spare time.
OpenBh 6.0 is based on the OE-Alliance 6.0 core.
So what is different in OpenBh 6.0 then?
The main change from version 5.6 to version 6.0 has been changes to oe-alliance-core branch 6.0. The OE (Open Embedded) core on which the image is built has undergone major changes, updates and fixes. Version 6.0 uses Python version 3.14.6.
Whats New:
-
OE-A 6.0
-
Python 3.14.6
-
Gstreamer updated to version 1.28.4
-
HDR10 / HLG detection now supported on Vu+/ Gigablue / Zgemma 4K broadcom boxes.
-
If your favourite plugins no longer work, you will need to contact the plugin authors to ask them to update their plugins for Python3.14.6
However nothing new is being added to the old 5.6 branch and rather than wait months and months for OE6.0 to go to full release stage, we feel it is currently very stable and good enough for release.
*** You can not online update from 5.6 to 6.0, you must reflash (you can do this using image and backup manager and then restore your settings backup) ***
Apart from the above you should not notice many differences between previous OpenBh 5.6 and OpenBh 6.0 images.
*** NOTE ***
If you use CrossEPG, then you will need to delete the crossepg folder in /media/usb or /media/hdd before you can use it in OpenBh 5.4 onwards, this is due to changes made, to keep it compatible with Python 3.12.x
Where can I find the OpenBh git ?

Vu+ Multiboot wouldn’t have been possible without the hundreds of hours that dpeddi has spent over several years (yes it’s been an on going project for him in his spare time for many years) to bring this real multiboot option for all Vu+ 4K boxes.
It is something we requested from Vu+ around 2015 and they told us it was not possible to add it, well finally we can prove them wrong.
You will find more information on how to setup and use Vu+ Multiboot here:
