Image Manager Downloads (Couch Flash) problems

[weigy104]

Hi all, I've been trying to do a "couch flash" that I've read a lot about, up till now I've always done a regular online update or re-flash via USB. However when I go into Image Manager and press yellow for "Downloads" I'm presented with a blank screen where it should list an available updated image to download I'm guessing? I have two Gigablue boxes and this happens to both running very similar builds of Vix which makes me think this method of updating may not be supported on these boxes?

Thanks.

It is supported. Is your network connection working properly?
A debug log might show the issue.

Internet connection is working ok, I can download plugins or I could do an online update no problem. Currently on 4.2.021.

turn on debug logs, try imagemanager download (menu, Setup/System/settings) preferably not in flash, post DEBUG log
Blue button, logs, red button (debug logs)

I see these lines in the debug log when I try to open the downloads screen...

< 77.012> [ImageManager][populate_List] the gbultraue is not currently supported by OpenViX.
< 77.166> [Skin] processing screen ImageManagerDownload:
< 77.220> [Skin] Attribute not implemented: valign value: center
< 77.244> [Skin] processing screen SimpleSummary:

I think the Skin errors are unrelated as I've tried it using the default and Vix night skins with the same result.

Are you allowed to attach the whole log?

Have you tried the default skin, (I don't mean vix night HD)?

This appears to be "true". The code actually contains this:

                                'gbqultraue'      : 'GiGaBlue-HD-ULTRA-UE',

which looks like a typo.

Put this (unzipped) into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ViX and restart the GUI.

gbultraue should be gbqultraue as in ImageManager.py....

'gbqultraue' : 'GiGaBlue-HD-ULTRA-UE',

or the other way round.

Edit: beat me to it!

Cheers birdman! That's sorted it. Now when I open the downloads screen I see a list of all available 4.2.xxx builds for this model of receiver.

[abu baniaz]

Thanks for reporting. Correction has been made. Don't forget to delete the .py file from your receiver.

It occurs to me that just putting the message in the debug log (see #6) isn't as useful as actually displaying a message to the user....

I'll add one.

Hmmm...not so simple.
Turns out the the code checking this isn't modal, so I can't just pop-up a message box from there.

What I can do (and have written and tested) is to add a **ERROR** item in the list, and change the Green button to be "Show Error". Pressing Green (or OK on the **ERROR** entry) then displays the error text "The <machine-type> is not currently supported by OpenViX".
It was tested by removing "et8000" from the supported list in my test code for ImageManager.py
