OpenBh 5.3 Community Updates

[Ev0]

OpenBh 5.3 Community

OpenBh 5.3 Community image is based on the OE-Alliance 5.3 core and is using Python 3.11.2


So what is different in OpenBh 5.3 Community then?


The main difference between OpenBh 5.3 Release and OpenBh 5.3 Community images, is that the community image is for older boxes that are no longer in production.
Therefore we can not test these images that we provide, so you the users will essentially be the beta testers and provide the support for anything that doesn't work yourselves.

Anything that needs to be fixed or updated, you will need to provide the code for and we will commit the changes and rebuild the images when we can (we will not rebuild on-demand and any updates we make again will be as and when we can and any updates to our Support image does not mean that a Community image update will necessarily follow).

[Ev0]

5.3.0 16

• Fix Video Refresh issues with p50/60 and p24
• Various background updates and tweaks

Please note, that the video refresh has never worked correctly and has been completely reworked, therefore you might find you need to adjust your settings if doing an online update.

Set the resolution of your tv (2160p, 1080p etc) then select Refesh Rate auto (not all boxes support p24, so those boxes will not be affected).

For 99% of users with a modern tv set, you should only need to use the Refresh Rate auto option and HDMI Colourspace should be set to Auto.

Only those with older tv's may need to adjust the HDMI Colourspace, if you find the colours are washed out, or if the screen is Green or Pink, in which case changing the option to RGB or 4:2:0 should fix this.

The Autores option has been removed as it should never be required now, however if you still feel that you do need this option for some reason, then you will find it on the feeds under systemplugins section.
