Openvix 5.4 is no longer supported and plugins are not available. Its been like this for a long time. You can upgrade to the 6.2 image

Sorry we just don't have the resources available to maintain feeds for old versions that are years old when it is so easy to upgrade to a newer version.

Az OpenVIX 6.x is not just "newer" and "better", but Python3 as well.
There are a lot of Python2 add-on, and the Python3 version of them is not expected in the future.
It would be better to continue supporting the last OpenVIX with Python2.
Even on the expense of 6.x:
http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openv...se/6.0/hd2400/... available
http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openv...se/6.1/hd2400/... available
http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openv...se/6.2/hd2400/... available

P.s. I am using 6.2 on one of my boxes, but I would like to "keep" the 5.4 on another because of Python2.

What python 2 add on‘s??
Tell us which and maybe we can do something

Hungarian e2iPlayer. It has also a Python3 version, but this is much poor, than that with Python 2.
Not mentioning the non Hungarian one!
m3uplayer - the Python3 version was requested on LinuxSat-Support as well, but it is not really expected.
I'm sure there are others also, but at the moment these are missing on the 6.2 box.

The "freshly installed" 5.4 is "working, so-so" (it had 5.3 before).
I don't understand it, but I think if I could install samba, nfs, e2iplayer-deps, serviceap, ext3player and ntfs (*), I could "deal with it" .

(*) there was no need since now for 5.3 to recognize an nfts usb drive.
I remembered somehow (from another box), that this is needed. But it did not exist, of course.
Then I thought to "step forward" on this box also. And now then I miss the components mentioned above.

Unless I have missed something they are all avalable in python 3 images

M3uplayer - don‘t know much about it, but from a brief read would have thought Kiddac‘s Xstreamity would handle or e2m3u2bouquet

[Huevos]

Can you post the IPKs?

He means they are not available in 5.4 because I deleted them all.

It really is laughable asking us to maintain feeds for out of date versions because other people are to lazy to update their plugins.

[Huevos]

By the way, if you want a 5.4 image and feeds feel free to build it yourself. The branch is still available: https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/t...v-old-20211224

It really is laughable asking us to maintain feeds for out of date versions because other people are to lazy to update their plugins.

If somebody has several boxes (e.g. I have three, and I use - just to be safe - OpenATV on the third one), it is a reasonable strategy, that there is an "failsave" one (everything checked, everything works) and there is one you can "step forwards" if you want.
I have already tried OpenVIX 6.0 before, and got back to 5.4 immediately (not just because of Python3!).
It was still possible at that time.

6.2 seems to be okay, and what is not working because of Python3, that is working on OpenATV.
But ViX is "more friendly" for me, then ATV. I would prefer to use ViX Python3 on one box and ViX Python2 on an other one.

And this is not laziness, speaking for myself sure not: It is not me, who writes the plugins and and who does not create their "compatible" (!) P3 version!
On my opinion Python2 is not out of date, no matter how old it is.
So the last ViX with Python2 is not either !
It can happen in the future at any time, that something is mentioned which would worth to try and I would use it also if I like it, but if it is Python2, then it cannot be done In ViX anymore.

Xstreamity
I do not use it much either, but this downloads m3u playlist from stalker portals. As I know, that on the box does not handle m3u playlists.

e2m3u2bouquet - "shooting canons to catch a fly"
It is useful to have a "long-time working" m3u list
But it is still some work with it, which item which #SERVICE (1, 4097, 5002 ?).

The m3uplayer is useful, if you have an htttp: link, then I edit it from PC in an m3u file (it can handle several files!) - e.g. samba would be needed for this also! - and I can watch it on the tv immediatly.

The issue here is that we are forced by the python people to move everything to python 3. Also every new python 3.xx there are changes that remove some features that are no longer supported ..... they tell you ahead of the release .... but!
If something doesn't work on python 3, we are quite happy to have a look at it and if possible provide a resolution, but you need to be exact and in some cases supply the ipk, so we can see the code.

Ref m3u .. post me a file so that I can see what I am handling.

this can also be found at the link above.

can you post me(PM) an m3u that needs this IPK to play? Will not post onwards ... just want to see what I can do with something you are using.

have done basic changes for python 3, but bound to be some decode/encode issues, so need test files

1) Python 2 was dropped by the Python developers over 2 years ago including security updates.
2) If OpenATV want to maintain 2 versions that is up to them, but in our opinion that is just prolonging the pain and allowing the lazy plugin authors to pit one distro against another.
3) If you use the current OpenATV image the plugins that are not converted won't work in that image either.
4) Do you think it is fair that people demand us to maintain feeds that are years old at our own expense?
5) Anyone that wants to can build and maintain a copy of 5.4 at their own expense.
