VPS geht nicht

[ccs]

.... am I right in saying that flashing 5.3.xxx and then installing VPS will get the same version currently on the feeds for 5.4.xxx ??

Or to put in another way, are there still separate plugin feeds for 5.3.xxx ??

I'm not convinced I'm comparing the "working" version in 5.3 with the version in 5.4.

Its a separate plugin feed for 5.3

Thanks, I've just realised that if I'd looked in SystemPlugins/vps I'd have seen that all the files were created at the same time as the last 5.3 release.

But, is it the same VPS plugin code? i.e. - are we encountering changes in both VPS code and manual timer handling in 5.4 or is it just down to menu/timer interface handling in ViX?

edit - or maybe that's what ccs meant (that the VPS files are the same in 5.3 and 5.4)

That's what I was trying to understand, comparing 5.3 and 5.4 was becoming a nightmare, particularly with gui menu changes added to the equation.

The VPS plugin in 5.4 includes all the recent changes, the plugin files in 5.3 are all dated 19/07/2020.

Sorry forgot that birdman had edited some of the VPS code to correct parameter handling.

On 5.3.xxx does enabling VPS by default like this...

get passed thru to an epg/green add timer, as I'm not seeing it...

Attachment 61513

Yes, worked without issue on 5.3.xxx
Always set to default full control, turns on/off in manual timers
Displays v1.3 in the about panel.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I don't get notified on this thread (addressing now)

Just to be clear, if I create a one off timer in 5.3 with VPS enabled by default (via the plugin men), the initial timer dialogue has VPS set to No, is that what you're seeing?

I'd have expected it to be Yes.

No, with the default set to yes, then VPS is enabled

No idea then why I see different, I'll start again from scratch.

Tried again and even went back to 5.3.020, but I still can't get a one off timer to default to vps=on when it's been setup to do so via the plugin menu.

Discussing what did and didn't happen in 5.3 is fairly moot.

We're looking at 5.4.

In 5.4 it will show up in AutoTimers, (as there is code to put it into the menu) whereas in Timers it won't (as there is no such code).

So the only way that 5.3 can come into it is see whether any code relating to VPS was removed between there and 5.4. There's nothing obvious....

I do understand that. But what does/doesn't work between releases kind of makes sense to me, and I'm seeing different scenarios to others.

It's often easier to see what is there, rather than what isn't.

I've just downloaded and old 5.3.020 (openvix-5.3.020.001.developer-et8000_usb.zip) and unpacked it.

I then searched for all files containing the string "vps" in ANY case.

[gmllaptop]: find -type f -name '*.pyo' | xargs grep -li vps
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoTimer/AutoTimerComponent.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoTimer/AutoTimer.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoTimer/AutoTimerEditor.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoTimer/AutoTimerResource.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoTimer/AutoTimerConfiguration.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/i18n.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/views/responsive/ajax/at.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/views/responsive/ajax/edittimer.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/views/ajax/at.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/views/ajax/edittimer.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/models/timers.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/web.pyo
./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/controllers/ajax.pyo

So nothing there to put anything into a Timer menu. Just the unrelated code for AutoTimer and OpenWebIF.
And nothing (significant) changed in the VPS plugin between Sep 2017 and Oct 2020 (the bootloop fix, which is also nothing ot do with menu entries).

But it's of no use to me as I can't see how what is being described could have worked with the current code, or with the code I can see that was around for 5.3.

Is (was) there another VPS plugin somewhere?
