Thanks again for the hard work.

My CI adapter is still missing after the August update. (ā€œTVHeadend Build: 4.2.2 (2017-08-18T16:24:52+0000)ā€) When I toggle the details for TVHeadend it shows dvben50221 = no and I assume this should be yes for the CI to show up.

Hello,
The update doesnā€™t work.
Osmc always reboots,and the bad smiley appears after each reboots.
I have a raspberry pi 3.
What I am doing now?
Thanks for your help

The news announcement is not for reporting issues!
Open a new thread and follow these instructions.

Unfortunately I donā€™t think weā€™re able to add CI support at this time.

Thanks for letting me know. Would be great if you could evaluate the decision again some time down the road.

Hi!
After updating to kodi 17.4 my osmc canā€™t find my wireless network (Vodafone).

Anyone knows about this issue?

11

The news announcement should not be used to report individual issues. Suggest to open a new thread with detailed report. Also there was basically no package installed with the August update that would impact wifi connection.

Is there any reason why the August update is not available in the OSX installer?

I downloaded a fresh copy of the installer last night to create a new card for the raspberry pi 3 in English but the best update it offers me is July. I created the card using July and then updated to August via a manual update on the raspberry but it would have been easier if the August update was available on the installer to begin with.

Could understand if it was the beginning of the month and the update was new out but we are well into September now.

Keep up the good work your team does an amazing job!!

Well not directly related to the installer. The installer just goes to Download - OSMC to check for the latest image which is the June one.

Reason that there is currently no August image is most likely just time. As it takes time and resources to create all the images and as you may have seen here on the forum Sam is busy fixing peopleā€™s problems

Hi,

I understand the eagerness to grab the latest image. They will be available shortly. As always, we add a delay to the release of images to ensure that they are first well received by users. However with this update things have been compounded by the fact that we are migrating infrastructure to support Debian Stretch.

Iā€™m travelling for a few days but you can expect new images shortly.

Updating from an older version will give you the exact same results as installing the very latest image. Our focus is on supporting the very latest installs and ensuring continuity.

What am I missing? I went to download images and only see July 2017 images.

16

I moved your post here as the answer is just right here

17

Thanks. Iā€™m having the issue where installation hangs at ā€˜Formatting Deviceā€™. Was hoping the newer image might have the same problem.

18

Try another SD card.
There are no changes to the installer; so there wonā€™t be any solution for such an issue in the next image.

Wanted to follow up. I tried a handful of sd cards and all failed. All were 2gb. I thought it might be a power supply issue because Iā€™d lost the original any wasnā€™t able to find one that was rated 2.5+

Finally I bought a new SD card and it installed. But since Iā€™m doing a USB install I wanted to use a 2gb sd card. What worked for me was to install using the new SD card. After the install and subsequent first boot and setup, I powered down and cloned the partition from the larger working card to the smaller sd card. That seems to be working great and gives this 2gb card something to do.
