Bug in 3.0.632 - Web api /web/deviceinfo

[garyblas]

Hi

I have a Vu+ Duo, running ViX 3.0 and several HTPCs with xbmc and vu+ addon to view tv in other rooms.

After I upgraded to 3.0.632 the xbmc vu+ addon does no longer work. The reason is that http://vuplus:80/web/deviceinfo now throws an error:

web.Server Traceback (most recent call last):

I have several TV's running off my Duo, I simply push signal through a RF modulator and then use a standard booster to all other TV's.
Didnt know you could do it another way .. What is the setup you use and is it better than RF mod ?

RF Mod provides the worst possible signal.

Streaming the recording or broadcast over your network provides identical quality to the source.

So if you have a DLNA TV you *may* be able to hook directly up to your Satellite box and receive HD/SD. If you don't have a DLNA TV that works properly then you can have a 2nd cheaper box or media streamer such as the popcorn Hour A100 or A110 or a HTPC instead.

The difference in picture quality is worth a small(ish) investment.

Ok thanks, I'm lucky my RF mod does give a v good signal ( Not HD granted ) but good enough, Saves buying several boxes for each TV I guess.. LOL

I fixed the problem (thanks to LraiZer and this post)

1. FTP to the box
2. Change directory to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/models
3. Rename info.pyo to e.g. info.old
4. Upload this file
5. Restart enigma2

Thanks! Worked perfectly on my Gigablue Quad HD on the latest Vix (I was trying to use the enigma2 pvr plugin in XBMC but it was failing because /web/deviceinfo was producing an error)
