Build my own Vix image

[Huevos]

You built Release ( ) so please make sure you have unstable updates enabled.

I have done now, thank you

[Huevos]

Does it make any difference in plugin browser?

[Willo3092]

Not now that I'm using twol's fix. Do you want me to try it with the original file?

[Willo3092]

Does it make any difference in plugin browser?

I tried the original file and allowing unstable updates makes no difference. Just a blank screen when pressing green in plugin browser to install plugins.

[birdman]

So where is it from and what good does it serve?

Pass.
It was discussed 5 years ago.

Pass.

1. It is not built from Enigma2-plugins because the code does not correspond.
2. No one had a clue what this was 5 years ago and we still are building it.
3. Can someone do a fresh install without restore to verify this is embedded in the main image.zip.
4. We need to find out where this is coming from and what requires it.
5. If it is not needed it should be removed.
6. If another plugin requires some code it should be packaged in that plugin.
7. Having one plugin depending on another without any contingency is ludicrous.

OK, I'm on 5.5.015.003, no settings/plugins restored.

Is this a clue ? ......

There's also an "odd" reference to WebInterface here...

Interesting but still doesn't tell us why it is there.

[birdman]

1. It is not built from Enigma2-plugins because the code does not correspond.
2. No one had a clue what this was 5 years ago and we still are building it.
3. Can someone do a fresh install without restore to verify this is embedded in the main image.zip.
4. We need to find out where this is coming from and what requires it.
5. If it is not needed it should be removed.
6. If another plugin requires some code it should be packaged in that plugin.
7. Having one plugin depending on another without any contingency is ludicrous.

If I look under rootfs of a 5.4.xxx build there is NO WebInterface there.
If I look at the image produced, there is NO WebInterface there either.

EDIT: Just done a flash of 5.4.015.003. No settings restore. All I did was set-up the network.
WebInterface IS there now!

So it's something done during initial setup(?).

[birdman]

Curioser and curioser.

The AutoTimer plugin contains:

     from Plugins.Extensions.WebInterface.WebChilds.Toplevel import addExternalChild 
     from Plugins.Extensions.WebInterface.WebChilds.Screenpage import ScreenPage

This gets run on a session start, which clearly never happens as there is no ScreenPage there.

Perhaps more relevant(?) is that enigma2-plugins/epgrefresh/src/webinterface/EPGRefresh.py contains:

from Plugins.Extensions.WebInterface.WebChilds.Toplevel import addExternalChild

and enigma2/lib/python/Components/PluginComponent.py tries to clean up a badly-removed extension if there is no plugin.py, but specifically checks for WebInterface, and does NOT do it for this.

So it looks as though this is all intentional. Just not documented anywhere.

[birdman]

And I've now tracked down whence it comes!!

e2openplugin-OpenWebif/plugin/httpserver.py

def buildRootTree(session): 
        root = RootController(session) 

        if not isOriginalWebifInstalled(): 
                # this is an hack! any better idea? 
                origwebifpath = enigma.eEnv.resolve('${libdir}/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/WebInterface') 
                hookpath = enigma.eEnv.resolve('${libdir}/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/pluginshook.src') 
                if not os.path.islink(origwebifpath + "/WebChilds/Toplevel.py"): 
                        print("[OpenWebif] hooking original webif plugins")

..... so my "finds" did show up references to the problem.
