BlackHole 3.0.8 release 24.12.2018





34666053wb.jpg


34666048lm.jpg


Whats New:
Many bug fixes
Added Serviceapp with Exteplayer3
New Bootlogo
Updated Mediatree to support more USB tuners
Updated Duo4K Drivers

BH 3.0.8 onwards includes ServiceApp and Exteplayer3 which gives improved media playback /
streaming performance.

It is pre-installed in all boxes, except Gen1 Solo, Duo, Uno, Ultimo and Zero,
so you will have to enable it from the BH SpeedUp menu on those boxes.

To use it with IPTV, you can either leave the ServiceApp settings as default
and in your IPTV lists, just change the #SERVICE 1:0:1: or #SERVICE 4097:01: to #SERVICE 5002:0:1:

Doing this, Exteplayer3 will only be used on your IPTV streams.

Or you can change the default setting of Enigma2 playback system in the ServiceApp menu from Original to Exteplayer3.

Note: that you can not record IPTV streams if you are using Exteplayer3 (however Enigma2 isn't reliable when recording IPTV anyway).

Changing the setting in the ServiceApp menu,
means that the image will no longer use the built in Mediaplayer (linked to Gstreamer)
and will use ExtePlayer3 for all media playback for IPTV and streaming aswell as any movies / recordings on your hdd,
doing this you won't need to convert your IPTV lists to #SERVICE 5002:0:1:

Main functions of the buttons on the remote:

OK button = Skin with simple information
OK button x 2 = Extra Info Skin
Blue button = Black Hole Blue Panel
Blue button and then Red button = Black Hole Epg Panel
Blue button and then Yellow button = System Monitor Panel
Blue button long press = Extensions
Yellow button = Audio menu
Green button = Black Hole Green Panel
Green button long press = Subservices
Green button and then Red button = Fast Plugin Setup
Green button x 2 = Fast Plugin
Button Red short press= access HbbTv functions
Button Red long press= Red Panel (Parallel Universes Teleportation)

Addons
Addons Download Manager (Manager for package downloading)
Online Feeds Settings update
Online Black Hole image update
Manual Install BH packges (Manual installation of Black Hole packages)

Addons Uninstall Panel (Uninstalled packages)
