[MB Premium Twin HD] Power Timer looping (and eventually crashing enigma2).

birdman said:
Well, someone was reading this and paying attention as the code to skip the Standby request when playing back a recording has gone into 3.2.024. And whomsoever did it also added the test to the Auto Deep Standby branch too (which I'd forgotten, as my AutoDS timers only activate when the box is in Standby).

I didn't try 3.2.024, but I've just moved to 3.2.026 and this "feature" doesn't seem to be there anymore. :confused:
 
Hmm....wait. When you say that the feature doesn't seem to be there any more, is that because you've been prompted while watching a recording?
The fix referred to Power Timers. So if you are being prompted, is it a result of a Recording Timer which is set to do something when finished? It looks like that may be covered (since the code is in a different file...).

Apologies - I'm getting the prompt (as always), when a recording timer ends while watching a recording.

I'll have a look at that. May not be for a day or two, though.

It was quicker.

See the "No shutdown prompt while watching recording entry" at:
Code: 
[URL]http://birdman.dynalias.org/OpenVix/[/URL]

It's just a matter of leaving the activate() function before testing whether to prompt (which is the final thing that function would do).
 
Thanks for sorting it out so quickly - it'll be tomorrow before I can try it out.
 
It was quicker.

Works a treat. Thanks again.

(FP checks ok as well.)

So you have an MBTwin?
Click to expand...
No - I (knew) I should have made my last comment clearer, just to say that the FP patch doesn't cause problems if the box isn't a MBTwin.

I was undecided whether to leave the code in, but clearly the checks for box type work ok, something which is not always easy to test for.

Code: 
from boxbranding import getBoxType
...
mybox = getBoxType()
works fine.
What I'd really like to know is which other boxes have a /proc/stb/vfd/symbol_circle which changes an indicator on the front panel, and how many different states it has (i.e. if you echo 1 then 2 then 3... to it, how high can you go before it stops producing a different indicator).
 
I did have a look last night, and the ET10K hasn't.

Hi
Gigablue Quad Plus box here and it doesn't have the folder /proc/stb/vfd/

Well, it turns out that neither does my MB Twin! I meant to check that path before posting the original, got distracted then posted what was there.

What I'm actually interested in is /proc/stb/lcd/symbol_circle and what happens when you echo 0, 1, 2, 3, .... to it should it be there.
 
Hi
Gigablue Quad Plus box here and it does have the folder /proc/stb/lcd/ but of the seven files there, none are Symbol_circle.
 
ET10K has

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 4 18:58 bpp
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 4 18:58 oled_brightness
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 4 18:58 xres
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 4 18:58 yres
 
@Birdman, can you try this file please and confirm if it fixes your premature deletion? It is slightly different to your file, but should serve the same purpose.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to check if the box is being used (watching a recording) remotely from another room? :)

Well - it wouldn't have been easy at the time, but a week or so later some entry points were added to enigma's C++ code to list remote streamers.
Not sure whether these are accessible via Python yet, though. If not someone will need to figure out how to make them so.
