Testers required for OpenViX Python 3 images

[birdman]

I went back to change the skin and got the crash again. So it must be an issue with the VixBMC 1080 skin for some odd reason. It works once chosen.

The original log also included:

< 413.3938> [Skin] Warning: Skin screen 'SkinSelector' rejected as it does not offer all the mandatory widgets 'skins, preview'!
< 413.3939> [Skin] No skin to read or screen to display.

which might be an issue?

(Unrelated: and that log also included a long traceback dump from, probably, some transcoding code.
Looks like someone left some debug code in place in production code?).

Yeah you're getting old. I commented out the full folder scan.

Well, the penny may now be dropping, are you saying that even though /etc/samba is in the settings file, it doesn't actually get backed up?

I thought that bit of code was adding new entries to config.backupmanager.backupdirs=.

I'll have another play later.

If I put /etc/samba in the settings file, it gets backed up.

Is it the restore process that ignores it?

There's something wrong with EPG search.
It's been somewhat broken since at least 5.5.016.001.

For example if I press EPG and then with the current program hjgihlighted I press Yellow to search for programs in the EPG with the same name as the current program it will only find a few programs with the same name.
If I advance a day or two in the EPG and find another program in the future with the same name and press Yellow with the future program highlighted it will correctly search for all programs in the entire EPG with the same name.

Also I still think it's daft that the program names sometimes have invisible control characters in them so that searching on them sometimes produces weird unexpected results.
I think they should be removed as the EPG data is read from the program stream or whereever.

[BrokenUnusableAccount]

Ok, but as it is already installed in a new image, I don't need to worry about it directly, config files may change but they then get overwritten by a settings restore.

Samba-common might get updated by Menu / Information / About / Software Update.

That is no longer there.

That is fixed with this commit...

Someone did an automated conversion to Bitbake V2 and the process left broken syntax, which, in this case, left skin default reading from the wrong branch. So no available screen in current skin nor in the (wrong branch) skin default.

An example would be handy.

[Huevos]

He is right about the hidden control characters. Someone needs to have a look at that. Maybe Simon as he knows his way round the epg code better than anyone else.

Just to add, VixBMC 1080 skin is working fine with 5.5.017.002. Also Samba is working (I seem to have to keep registering it on the TV, but it works).

Yeah, I fix everything.

If they're invisible, how do you know they are there?

[Huevos]

If they're invisible, how do you know they are there?

Because the search doesn't work.

They are also in channel names.

In ABM we strip them out.

I used to see SOF and EOF control characters surrounding program names in OpenWebIf autotimer entries, but I haven't seen them for a while now. I suspect it was to do with the way I was setting up the autotimer, probably from the graphical EPG. The virtual keyboard has been revamped by Ian and there have been changes to OpenWebIf also, so I expect that is why I am not seeing them anymore.

I'm pretty sure I still see them, sometimes.
I'm also pretty sure I've also seen then around just a part of the program name, though maybe not recently.
