error openmultiboot for openPLi image

[Dima73]

As you know, I did support openmultiboot for openPLi. I have recently received a lot of complaints that openmultiboot stopped working correctly. Example: flash image openpli 4.0 folder /open-multiboot/openatv-5.3-formuler1-20170110_usb next boot --> openatv-5.3 --> reboot reciever boot menu only one entry --> openpli 4.0(flash) not entry openatv-5.3-formuler1-20170110_usb! Please,please help. this log: `=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2017.01.10 20:30:53 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

q: does openpli have branding support?

The latest changes I've introduced require oe-a oe-branding. I use what oe-branding returns to compare the box model and the box that supports the target image.

By doing so you can use a single stick for multiple boxes.

PS:please give a try to "switch_stick_safe" branch

[Dima73]

for openpli not branding support. maybe it is possible to make the setting (branding support-yes/no)? You do not have to binary formuler1 / switch_stick_safe" branch?

[dpeddi]

• maybe it is possible to make the setting (branding support-yes/no)? Maybe yes.. feel free to propose a pull request. Probably I will include your proposal within some weeks...

• You do not have to binary formuler1 / switch_stick_safe" branch? I haven't understood..

[Dima73]

Please, you can make the change yourself. I really do not know much code с++.

Maybe you have the compiled binary for formuler1 / switch_stick_safe" branch?

[dpeddi]

no, I don't have that stb... but since that binary use branding don't waste your time

[arn354]

We have to options for 3 options for openpli A) Pli builds boxbranding and adds boxbranding to depends of openmultiboot (smallbinary, does not harm in anyway if installed - just eases up live). B) we create a branch Pli with commithash before last changes which require boxbranding and Pli builds from there C) Pli forks it before last changes and builds from fork

Let's make openmultiboot is compatible with all image. The simplest and best solution: maybe it is possible to make the setting (branding support-yes/no)?

[dpeddi]

Easy, introduce support for boxbranding in your image ;-)
