AMS AdvancedMovieSelection 3.2 on ViX

[ubisIst]

I istalled AdvancedMovieSelection (AMS) on duo2. This was possible only adding the missed RecordPaths.py from another image (VTi).

With this workaround AMS works on ViX (till now) without visible problems.

My question: which issues can cause this "borrowed" RecordPaths.py ?

[Rob van der Does]

What is it used for?
What functionality does it add?

What did you miss; what made you decide to look for a plugin?

I use this plugin from the first version. It is the swiss-army-knife for you recordings. Runs perfectly on both my boyxes and all images (except PLi).
AMS can be used simultaneously with tho original channelist (staring it with another button)

Hmmm, apart from some cosmetics (coverart/preview) I can't really see much new. Maybe I overlook it?

[ubisIst]

:)... multi-selection with RADIO ?

Enlighten me: what's that doing?

[ubisIst]

You can select or deselect many movies from the list with RADIO-button. Selected items will marked marked as '1 - ', '2 - ' etc.
Than you can delete, copy, move, mark as seen or unseen all selcted movies.

Hi,
this plugin is a bit problematic:

"This plugin may only executed on hardware which is licensed by Dream Multimedia GmbH."

ciao

[Rob van der Does]

Ah, knew there was something wrong with it.

AMS is downloadable on BH and VTi images

[Rob van der Does]

Well, both Blackhole and VTi are known for breaking licenses; even the way they provide their images is a violation of the the GNU-licence (as they don't provide a copy of the sources).

Anyway: we do. At least we do our best to comply with licenses. That's the very reason quite a few plugins are not available on our feeds.

Hi,
I tried the original version and get

"Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-advancedmovieselection (3.2-20130928-r1109) to root...
Collected errors:
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for enigma2-plugin-extensions-advancedmovieselection:
* kernel-module-isofs * kernel-module-udf * enigma2 (>= 3.2cvs20111016) *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package enigma2-plugin-extensions-advancedmovieselection."

So if this could be installed on other STBs it must be manipulated I think.

ciao

try with 'opkg install /tmp/*.ipk --nodeps'

My question: which issues can cause this "borrowed" RecordPaths.py ?


vix does not use that py, ViX has it own way configuring RecordPaths.py, and if the plugin depend on any py, it is trying to hack it, so sorry i will never support a plugin trying to hack stuff.
