Build my own Vix image

This rang a bell - comments on this commit appeared to dry up, (well I didn't notice anymore, and of course, it may not be relevent ) .....

I've successfully built mips, arm and hisilicon (sf8008) release images today. The SF8008 build was failing yesterday

[lincsat]

I've just tried the ZGemma H9 again and it's still failing on the Hisilicon build

So there is an easier way that Huevos has used ... but this is mine.
Go to meta-oe-alliance/meta-oe/recipes-oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins
Find enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-servicehisilicon.bb
Click on it and change the branch to OpenPli -------> SRC_URI = "git://github.com/zgemma-star/servicehisilicon.git;branch=openpli"

I was looking through the notes on Github and saw the extra branch for openpli which reverts a change. I'm not advanced enough to figure out that I could change the URI locally, so thanks for that - it now builds

Could that change be added to the .bb file on the OE-alliance git or would that break the build for a different image? Apologies if I am using the wrong vocabulary

Needs resolving as OpenATV (and their copies) don't have the change on their image that needs this openpli branch.

[Huevos]

Create a file called "enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-servicehisilicon.bbappend".

In the file just one line.

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/zgemma-star/servicehisilicon.git;branch=openpli"

Put the file in "<your-build-folder>/meta-local/recipes-local"

Then build.

Thanks to you all of you for the various pointers in this thread - I've built and flashed a 5.4.002 image to my Miraclebox Micro (mbmicro) which I use in client mode and so far it seems happy over the last day, other than plugins (which to be honest I don't use on this box but just trying to get my head around the process).

I never realised how involved and how long each individual build took, definitely gives me a greater appreciation for the work that is done behind the scenes thanks

I did have to edit the .bb URI for mjpegtools as seems the mirror has expired on that as well now but worked fine when pointed to the direct Sourceforge link.

I've got the feeds hosted locally and baked into the site.conf and when the box enters the plugins menu I see the following request hit the Apache server:

192.168.0.242 - - [27/Oct/2020:20:45:12 +0000] "GET /feeds/openvix/release/5.4/7000s/7000s/Packages.gz HTTP/1.1" 200 65126 "-" "Python-urllib/2.7"

I didn't initially have the symlink to 7000s, just mbmicro, so added the symlinks and the Packages.gz file is being served to the box as you can see from the 200 status and size, but it just errors out at the box end.

Are you supposed to hardcode the box end in the site.conf URI to mbmicro or should it be happy with the 7000s location?

I've done an Xpeed LX3 5.4.002 build as well today and the plugins are all enumerated and working as expected for that from the same server with similar symlinks (just different box name).

I'm just trying another mbmicro build now to see if it still does the same after a new flash or whether that will start working with the local plugins feed.

[twol]

Have a look on your box at this directories contents /etc/opkg - these point to the feeds for each component - check whats in there agrees with your feeds setup

[aido]

Thanks @twol - it does all seem to match up.

I don't need plugins but just trying to understand why that one box errors where the xpeedlx3 is ok - I'll have a dig through debug logs etc but here are those files and you can see the request to the same Packages,gz file works as well as gunzips to valid data:

Turned on debug logging, rebooted with no other changes and it started working - go figure

I guess with these unsupported boxes there will be random behaviour - the wifes soaps are on now so I'll leave it alone but thanks again

Just trying to freshly build and come across Yahoo error. Looking back through this thread, I see it mentioned in this thread.

@ccs, can I ask how you got around this yahoo error as it looks like it's related to python2/3 ?

[ccs]

Hi, yes python2 got round the error, not sure if python3 is now used for 5.4, maybe someone can confirm?

This is the summary of my workarounds, I haven't tried 5.4 yet...

https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...l=1#post501146

I seem to remember a few weeks ago an easy way to exclude a plugin if you didn't need to build it. Haven't found it yet.

This is probably it...

5.4 is python 2

I'm building using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I did notice something in openatv readme for their 6.5 (obviously still beta):

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2
sudo update-alternatives --config python
select python3

Do you think it's worth doing same except "select python 2" as last command?
