OSMC and Hyperion

Greetings all.

According to its developers Hyperion is on the cusp of moving from Alpha to Beta!

The a/v sync bug is now fixed on Vero4K using Hyperion.ng and the latest kernel. It turns out we were missing some changes that had been included on other distros that the fixes had been targeted for.

You will need to:


Backup your configs:
There is an option to export your configs from the web GUI. You can then re-import them after the update.
Configuration->General->Import/Export Configuration->Export


Install the June OSMC update as usual:
uname -r should show at least 3.14.29-150-osmc
If you don’t then the AML grabber will be broken altogether.


Update my installer:
Easiest just to delete the hyperion-vero4k folder and clone it again:
(git clone https://github.com/hissingshark/hyperion-vero4k).


Update hyperion.ng
sudo ./install from inside the folder
Select Hyperion.ng->Install from binary


Restore your configs:
Configuration->General->Import/Export Configuration->Choose file then Import


NOTE - The pre-built binaries are updated to the latest stable commit and built for Framebuffer and AML grabbing. There’s no need to be compiling from source unless you specifically need another option like using external grabbers or want to be testing newer versions (there’s no real need to do that - if it was working I’d likely have updated the binaries anyway).
