As you may have noticed, we didn't release an OSMC update for a while. After a lot of hard work, OSMC's October update is now here featuring Debian 10, codename "Buster" and Kodi 18.8. This yields a number of improvements and is one of our most significant OSMC updates yet. It featurues:
Many thanks for your Hard work, all Works Fine ! Many Greetings from germany.
Awesome! Thanks for the hard work Sam and thanks to all the testers that made this possible!!
Typo: “featurues”
Great work thanks.
When will it be available as a ‘fresh’ reinstall on a Vero 4k?
Will there be instructions?
I used to use my Vero4k for home automation and moved this to a dedicated Rpi4 so would like to blow it away and start afresh 
Updated without any issue, thank you for all the hard work!
Installer images should follow in a couple of days after we confirm there are no showstopper issues.
Sam
Howdy Sam & Happy days! As always, much obliged.
Looks great on my RPi3 & V4k. Tested and all good:
Customized Interface Menus
Videos that have given troubles in the past
DVD.ISO cartoon with tough video render section
DVD.ISO Tv with poor from factory encoding and full menus
DVD.ISO w/ full adverts & menu
BD.ISO
BD.MKV
MP3 High Bitrate
Pandora Music
Some notable video sections in my test suite show significant improvement to smoothness of playback when viewed in parallel with earlier builds
Hi @Landspeeder – it’s been a while. Hope you’re doing well!
I’d recommend you also try our 4.9 test builds on your Vero 4K/4K+ as we have significant improvements there and always value your feedback
Cheers
Sam
Too long mate 
thankfully rather well on my end - hope you may claim the same.
I’d love to help and will strive to carve out a chunk to vet the v4k test builds - - - been bootstrapping a new company with a newborn in the house this year so I’ve been a tad detached.
Best,
Everything’s the same here – we’re keeping busy
No worries about the lack of testing. Just keep updating, and sooner than later, you should be pleasantly surprised
Cheers
Sam
Upgraded without any issues, thanks for this update!
My install is Vero4k+
Many thanks Sam,
Updated without issues - Vero4K
All seems to be running well.
R.
Thanks for this big upgrade!
It almost went well, but I have two packages that are not going well, because netfilter-persistent has a bad configuration file. See the error below. Could you help with this?
Thanks

osmc@osmc:~$This package isn’t provided by OSMC by default, so you must’ve installed it in the past.
You will need to resolve the conflict to proceed.
Anyone have an issue when going to power (with remote control or through UI) and vero just shuts down. After that can not start it with power on button from remote, have to unplug/plug the power cord
You should go to Power -> Suspend and not Power -> Shut Down. Then you can wake the device with a remote.
You are right, but it’s happening on it’s own. So:
This is why Vero is such a good choice. Constant improvements and hard work from those involved. Thank you. Yay to HDR10+.
