Dear Black Hole people,
the next 1.7.4 BH version will be an historycal release.
Black Hole 1.7.4 will be not only based on technical improvements but will be inspired to the Black Hole name and history.

We are in a Black Hole. What could happen in a black hole ?
More than you have experimented till now in your known space and reality.

"The history of Black Hole 1.7.4 begins one night when I was watching a movie
documentary on Pixar.
I got the strange idea to try to reverse the traditional pattern logical:
new technical possibilities -> new implementation in the firmware.
And try to think of a new implementation from the perspective of the history of our name and image.
Look to our software as the metaphor of a small world from the angle of the black hole."

Following the logic used by meo (the visionary meo), we will introduce the new implementation
"Parallel Universes" of Black Hole 1.7.4 using two different criteria: Explanation metaphorical
and technical explanation.


1) Human metaphorical.
"Dear Black Hole users.
We started this journey together long ago in our Black Hole world
exploring together all the potential and all the possibilities that we have
to exploit.
We went deeper and deeper and now we are near the core of our small world.
And the horizon suddenly opens and multiplies and we find it hard to keep
orientation. It seems that our space and reality double's itself once and then once again.
In each space we have all our things and we discover that we can move from one space to another
making minor changes to each".

Imagine for a moment that the Black Hole firmware is our little world in which we move
and we use our things.
We install our favourite plugins, our skins, our hidden software, and we
prepare our beautiful channels list with our favourite bouquets.


Now imagine that without having to install another image, we can enter another world,
being able to restart our universe, we have the possibility of access to parallel dimensions.

Imagine 4 dimensions (or universes) and imagine we assign these names to identify:
1) Black Hole
2) Avalon
3) Chaos
4) Ghost

When we install the image we are in in the Black Hole universe, we have the default plugins,
the default skin, no strange or forbidden software and no channels list.
In addition, our world is physically limited to the size of the flash in which we reside that can
be really small in some boxes like the Vu+ solo.

Now imagine that we have the exact same things in all four dimensions at the time of
creation of our world with the only difference that the other dimensions being able to reside on a
different space (USB stick) are much larger and offer us the opportunity to take advantage of universes
of many Gigabytes. Also the other dimensions, being a projection of our starting size,
not occupy any space at all leaving the field free for our things.

Imagine you can jump easily and at will from one dimension to another without complicated
operations and in very little time.
How do we organize the worlds?

Simply based on our needs.
Imagine extending our parallel universes in an 8 Gigabyte usb stick.
We also keep in mind that if we start the box without the usb stick, the parallel dimensions on which they
reside will disappear and leave only our "Black Hole" base image.
Our universes all start from our Black Hole, but we can make small changes in each
without affecting the others.

If I am simply a user that owned a Vu+ Solo and I just want to be able to have extra space to fill my image with
many skins many plugins and add-on software, I will leave blank the base Black Hole and I will choose to
live entirely within the single "Avalon" dimension in order to have available all 8 Gigabytes of my world for
the fun to add whatever I want.

If I am a crafty user, using the box to watch TV in the evening with family (and maybe with small children)
and do not want in the channel list the bouquets for adults or in plugins like youporn and so on,
I will be able to configure the "Black Hole" universe, with the channel list and plugins without any comprimise
(no bouquets or plugins for adults) and only use this universe for the family use of the box.
At the same time I can configure the "Ghost" universe with all the bouquets and plugins (adult) that I like. I can then
move from one universe to another depending on if I am using the box alone or with my family.

If I am a paranoid user and I want to install in the box software that I do not want to be accessible to others.
I would install all my private applications in the "Ghost" universe and I will unplug my usb stick when I turn off
the box in order to eliminate any physical trace of all the files that I do not want to be accessible to anyone else.
Anyone could then power on the box, but will only find the simple base Black Hole image.

Finally, if I am an advanced user that likes to install and test all plugins conceivable and perhaps
also try to code my own applications but I use the box for the usual watching TV with the family and I don't want to
risk comprimising the basic image, I will install everything I need in the base "Black Hole" dimension for normal
household use and have fun jumping in the dimension "Chaos" where I will be able 'to install everything I want and
do all the experiments possible without risk of damaging the basic image normally used.

Chapter 2.

2) Technical explanation.

The new implementation present in the Black Hole 1.7.4 from a technical point of view exploits the ability of Linux
to merge into a single file system different directories, assigning priorities to one or other, and allowing
to modify "on fly" their attributes.

Combining all these possibilities, it is possible to use different settings and directories while remaining in one
image.

Technically inside there is not a multiple installation or duplicated .
It is only noted that the contents differ depending on whether there is moving in one branch or in another.

Combining all the changes you get the effect of having one image but with 4 "different contexts".
In each context (what we called metaphorically dimension or universe) we can install our plugins, our settings and our
software and anything else we want: In another context we can install different things.
At the beginning the contexts are all equal because they are a projection of the image just installed.
But all the changes we make in each context after installation, are individual and non of them are not reflected in the
others.

The real novelty of it all lies in the idea and approach adopted by meo, to get to this new way to exploit the
potential of our beloved boxes.

Appendix: Black Hole laws of physics.
Brief notes on the theory of parallel universes of the Black Hole.


To move smoothly between different parallel universes and understand the principles that regulate the interactions
We need to mention briefly some principles of physical laws that apply in our Black Hole.

1) Theory of the prevalence of the array.
We have seen that our universes consist of an array native (Black Hole) which resides in a space
unique and separate and three other parallel universes (Avalon Chaos and Ghost) that share the same space.

We have seen that the parallel universes are all on the same level but completely independent of one another.
Everything that happens in one of the parallel universes does not affect others and not even influence the matrix (Black Hole).
We can then say that all parallel universes work the same way but are completely independent.

However there is a fundamental difference between the original matrix (Black Hole) and the other parallel universes.
Since all parallel universes are a projection of the original matrix, what is happening in the array can
influence the parallel universes in so far as these are not yet changed.
In other words, on an equal footing the matrix reality prevails on parallel worlds.

For example: If I install the skin XX in the Black Hole Universe (original array) and I already installed skin XX
in the Unvierse Avalon, they do not interfere in any way with each other and the changes made in 1 Universe or another
are independent. But if I install the skin YY in the Black Hole (original array) and I never installed the skins YY in Avalon it
will appear automatically in Avalon.
So if something is created or added in the original array and it does not yet exist in the Parallel Universe the same thing will
be automatically exported into the Parallel Universes.

This happens because it is the initial matrix that creates the reality and projects it in all parallel universes which
follow their path and can then be modified at will.

Καμιά βοήθεια για την IPTV ?
Υπάρχουν Ελληνικά ?
Πώς περνάμε Νέα IPTV στην λίστα ?

[georgeflu]

για το αν υπαρχουν Ελληνικα,δε γνωριζω,αν θελεις ομως να προσθεσεις καποια,τοτε πας στην διαδρομη usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugin/Extensions/stream tv και εκει μεσα υπαρχει ενα αρχειο stream.xml το οποιο θα κανεις επεξεργασια (με προσοχη,γιατι αν κανεις κατι λαθος θα κρασαρει) για να προσθεσεις οτι θελεις.

[georgeflu]

κατι που επισης παρατηρησα στην τελευταια εκδοση,ειναι οτι το display δειχνει κανονικα πλεον τους Ελληνικους χαρακτηρες (μεχρι τωρα μονο τα pli based τους εδειχναν).
