Yeh maybe, but Ian's changes don't just effect the vix image, they get merged into other oe-a images, hence when he breaks something that has worked perfectly well for 10 - 15 years, I ask for it to be fixed.Originally Posted by Tkr001
I reckon he uses BlackHole, not ViX.
Ev0 did not make any personal attacks to any one. He stated the changes were crap. Blocking a function that has worked and most people for well over 10 years and saying they need to develop new muscle memory is not ideal. Post 1&2 in one of the relevant thread were intros. Gist of post 3 by someone else was about SMS entry not working. 12 pages later, still same problem. EV0 made several posts in the thread detailing that server entry was no longer working. Instead of trying his method of entry, other people used another method of entry. He was given a modified version of JMX, a pull request was submitted to Kiddac, but Kiddac cannot add it as it will break his plugin in other images. The same error was in Xstreamity and any other plugin that uses the input method. There was even a dissection of what was happening, gist of it is in the commit text that fixes it.
Perhaps people should ask Admin for a copy of all the posts by Ev0 in relation to this matter before attacking him.
Ev0 (25-10-20)
if you mean me attacking Ev0, its not an attack. You can say something once but there is no need to bang on about it constantly and no need to keep on at one developer. Nobody wins out of this and now it looks like IanSav has had enough so a developer is lost.
If you want someone to fix something the easiest/best way is to just give them what they ask for. And is nothing happens a polite enquiry with an offer to provide more info if required will usually elicit a positive response. I did read all the posts and regardless of who is/was right or wrong Ev0 could have approached things in a less confrontational manner. Just my opinion.
I didn't realise you had access to the threads in the developer side of forum. Have we read the same posts to reach the different conclusions as to whether Ev0 provided the required information? Surely the statement about not using the Virtual keyboard further illustrates that the information was being provided to address the issue?
Haven't been contributing to ViX as much as I should have but to see Ian leave is a sad day, a bit like when Andy left.
Pushing the progress of our TV Box should never be held back by some old, closed source plugins.
Ian has done some brilliant work to use the box properly IMO.
