Hi,

Trying to use the Kodi 15.1 VBox TV Gateway PVR client with a brand new VBox XTi 3440.

The Kodi plug-in claims it needs revision 3.48. Performing the firmware upgrade from the VBox says 3.46 is the latest version.

How is this done?

I have also posed the question on the VBox e-mail service.

Thanks

D

I thought the newest version had been released publicly already. I only have the firmware for the XTi-3352 model, I don't know if it works for any other devices.

Okay, and apparently the firmware links I have are dead. You'll have to wait for VBox to answer your e-mail I'm afraid.

Thanks Negge. I received the following from VBox customer support:

I updated my device from a link on the VBox support page - http://www.vboxcomm.com/shop-support/download.html
Go to the software update section
So far this version works great

Thanks TVGrrr, part way through the process now. Just organising the Satellite channels in the same order as Freesat LCNs for the UK... this may take some time ;-)

I'll then try to link up with Kodi 15.1 again...
