Vero 4K+ October build (re-install)

[Digitalfm]

I’m looking to do a fresh install of my Vero 4k+, but have a couple of questions after I read the thread below:

Vero 4K+ gone weird after attempted reinstall of OSMC

After installing a Leia test build on my 4K+ and playing for a while, I decided to go back to the standard Krypton image. To do this, I grabbed the OSMC image creator (for Windows), created an image on a micro-SD card (selecting “Vero 4K”, latest version). I plugged the card into the 4K+ and rebooted. It went through some sort of installation process and then launched the setup wizard, so I assumed everything was okay. But since then, everything has started lagging like crazy. I’m not sure what…

1. Is the installer build downloaded from here; Download - OSMC, the exact same build which is loaded onto the Vero 4k+ before it is shipped to new customers?

2. Is it better to re-install using the disk image rather than installer, or is the end result identical?

3. The disk image looks like October’s build. Is the installer also October’s build?

Many thanks

1. the shipping build will be the latest available and made from the same files as the download images
2. the installer just copies the disk image to the install media but sets up a couple of things before doing it. The end result is the same.
3. the installer grabs the latest build December isn’t out yet.

The Installer will download the latest available image and install it on a bootable SD Card or USB Stick so that it than can be installed onto the Vero 4k.
Generally it is the same image that is loaded on the Vero 4k before shipping but surely if shipping is a few month ago it will be a newer version.
Currently October is the latest available image. Normally images will be made available 1-2 weeks after an Update has been released. So you could expect the December Images anytime next week.
