Autotimer issue

[duoduo]

Hi guys

Recently updated to latest image (034). Autotimer option within epg no longer working and I’ve been asked to download the plugin. I’ve gone into plugin downloads and I can’t locate it. Can someone tell me if this plugin is no longer supported? Anyone else the same issue?

Working ok for me on 5.3.034 (and I'm pretty sure everyone else). Autotimer is pre-installed, there must be something different about your setup.

What do you mean by not working ? Is it when you press blue from within the grid EPG, say ? Maybe debug logs needed.

[duoduo]

Yes when I press blue it says “The autotimer plugin is not installed, please install it’. I updated from 027 to 034

Can’t find the autotimer plugin to dl

Is it showing in remove plugins? It should be in extensions in download/remove plugins. If in remove maybe uninstall and reinstall

Were you trying out the epg tests a while ago https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...l=1#post495521

If so, maybe you left some .py files lying around.

Just tried this and it’s still saying the plugin isn’t installed when it is

Try by command line:

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

or, if it does not succeed,

opkg install --force-reinstall enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

or, if it does not succeed,

opkg install --force-reinstall enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

I have this same problem with EPGsearch and Autotimer (yellow and blue buttons respectively), but only on my Vu Zero - I also have a Vu Zero4K which works fine - same version build and skin etc.
I have done a forced reinstall of both epgsearch and autotimer, and tried another skin but get the same result.

I wonder if the OP ever found what was wrong?

To be sure, try to remove it, before, by

opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

then you can install again normally. The same steps for epgrefresh.

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

or, in case the normal way does not succeed, in the forced way

opkg install --force-reinstall enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

It tells what you have to do:
* print_dependents_warning: Force removal of this package with --force-depends.
* print_dependents_warning: Force removal of this package and its dependents
* print_dependents_warning: with --force-removal-of-dependent-packages.

So, if you had given the command with the option
--force-removal
you had managed to uninstall.

opkg remove --force-removal enigma2-plugin-extensions-autotimer

The same for epgrefresh.

[Gollom122]

That did not work either

root@TVZERO:~# opkg remove --force-removal enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgsearch

opkg: option '--force-removal' is ambiguous; possibilities: '--force-removal-of-dependent-packages' '--force-removal-of-essential-packages'
opkg must have one sub-command argument
