WooshBuild Wooshbuild infinity software updates

[Monkey snr]

Hi all
I’ve been running wooshbuild infinity on a Zgemma h7 for ages now and never really touched it since setting it up. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it was my thoughts. I’ve just looked at my software updates and there is 284 of them. My question is should I work through these and update. I’ve had a few glitchy channels on and off. Thanks in advance

No don't update in under any circumstances or it will brick the box.

Ok. Something told me I probably shouldn’t. Is this still the best build to use and is there any advantage to changing.

Do not update,this could cause your box to crash or stick on boot.
Wooshbuild is out of date and does not work on latest openatv.
Either use a clean flash of openatv and add plugins and skins or if you prefer a build use Willobuild.

WilloBuild - WilloBuild OpenViX 6.5 Series

Try different images or builds on your multiple partitions on your h7.

Look at willobuild or a fresh clean flash of ATV but don't install woosh on it it's not compatible. Willo is the way forward and fully supported.

Ok what version open atv should I install

 

[bigwig21]

7.3 is latest,7.4 is still beta.

Bare in mind you will need to install everything yourself. Currently no pre build's I am aware of that support openatv. Willo uses openvix

Thanks for the help. I’ve not done this for a long time. When you say do it all my self is there a step by step guide I can follow.

Easiest way for you to do this is to flash willobuild on a different slot. You can keep whoosh on there for the time being and flash another build as well. These boxes can run 4 different builds like you are currently using. Switch between them.

 

[moshibeth]

Look at the all build's section and have a read through willo there's a simple guide to follow.

 

[Monkey snr]

Ok I’ll take a look. Could I just go over to openvix and do it that way

 

[bigwig21]

To install willobuild it is done by command prompt using putty.

Have a read below

WilloBuild - WilloBuild OpenViX 6.5 Series

Ok it looks like it flashes openvix and Willo build and just removes everything on there at the moment. I use XE for my Iptv is that easy to add. Sorry for all the questions and thanks again for the help

 

[bigwig21]

You will need the python 3 version of xe.

# Python Version 3.11.x (Openvix 6.3, OpenATV 7.2¨, OpenATV 7.3)

wget -O /tmp/install.sh "https://xeev.app/files/ipk/3.11.1.sh" && chmod 755 /tmp/install.sh && /tmp/install.sh

Keep your existing setup really. When it flashes willo it will ask you which partition to use select a different one to current slot. Do some reading up first then post in the willo support thread for help.

 

[Monkey snr]

Ok thank you both. I’ll take your advice and keep the existing and get the other running and switch across when it’s all sorted. Would I need to delete wooshbuild after it’s all done or just leave it on there

 

[bigwig21]

Leave it there for the time being,at least until youre happy with the image or images you 've chosen.

Hi again. How do I know which slot to install willo on. Should I have already partitioned my hard drive or do I just put 2 when willo build asks in putty presuming wooshbuild is in 1 ?
