    OpenATV 6.4 is end of life at the end of December and will no longer be maintained so looks like everyone will have to move over to python 3 eventually.

    I have downloaded the 6.0 on 03/05/2022 (the image content is 02/26/2022), then after testing it for cca. one week on 03/16/2022 I went back to the last 5.4 (the image content is 10/12/2021).
    That isn't really "years old", is it ?

    I did not "demand" anything. ViX displayed, that

    If this issue persists, please check openvix.co.uk or world-of-satellite.com

    I asked a question. There is a question mark in the topic issue.

    If "people" do not like that if the support of a barely one year old distribution is ceased on day to the next (I suppose without any previos warning or temporary period), then it is a rather "unfriendly" step.
    And it is downright offensive to call as "lazy plugin authors" people, who create plugins for use and pleasure of other people (I assume for free!), just because they are not following immediately and absolutely the "Python policy".

    "...our own expense" vs "...we are forced by the python people to move everything to python 3"
    Everyone can decide, what the real reason is.

    P.s. There is still an OpenViX Archives link - which is empty of course.
    Will it exist sometimes again ?

    @malvin1 I have sent you a PM.......

    unlike some other images, we are not paid to do this and server costs limit what we can store, especially when the feeds created by the OE-A 5.1 image build are significantly bigger - like everything costs keep rising and software takes up more storage.
    The MP3player plugin that I am looking at uses some functionality that is already marked as depreciated by the python 3 bunch and at some stage will have to be replaced - this is nothing that we can control ....... that also applies to the core elements used to build the images, so not just python 3.

    You are mixing things up.

    From January 1st 2020 Python 2 is dead. No bug fixes whatsoever. Nothing. Zilch.
    https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

    Saving old feeds costs money. We were out of space and changes would cost money. No user or manufacturer pays anything towards our servers. Each machine's is around 2 GB, plus the image files themselves. We maintain more than 60 machines. So that is around 120 GB for each version. And feeds are currently maintained for 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2. Only 5.4 and older feeds were removed.
    Code:
    [root@ns3324542 ~]# df
    Filesystem      1K-blocks       Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root        20026236    2333960  16651944  13% /
    devtmpfs          4032384          0   4032384   0% /dev
    tmpfs             4032868          0   4032868   0% /dev/shm
    tmpfs             4032868     427532   3605336  11% /run
    tmpfs             4032868          0   4032868   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
    /dev/sda3      1902052484 1542032348 263378448  86% /var
    tmpfs              806576          0    806576   0% /run/user/0
    [root@ns3324542 ~]#
    And like I already said, if you want 5.4 feeds you can build and maintain them yourself. Nothing stopping you.

    It is then 60*120 GB = 7.2TB regarding all "last Pithon2 5.4".
    I'm sorry that the ecclesia is poor.
    (I have here at home more than 10TB connected to the boxes, only for archiving recordings and torrent films)

    Concerning the several time mention "really practical" advice, that "you can build and maintain them yourself":
    I have not done such a thing, but I assume that:
    1. I needs a Linux - I have it
    2. It needs a development environment - I assume it is available somewhere. But not sure, it is exactly that Linux what I have (Ubuntu).

    But presuming I can "put it together".
    In ATV 6.0 I checked the plugin (it has a feed for this as well!) because of which I killed ViX 5.3:
    Package: enigma2-plugin-drivers-ntfs-3g
    Version: 1.0-r0
    Description: Allow writes to NTFS file systems Allow writes to NTFS file systems.
    Section: base
    Priority: optional
    Maintainer: OE-Core Developers <openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org>
    License: GPLv2+
    Architecture: mips32el
    OE: enigma2-plugin-drivers-ntfs-3g
    Depends: ntfs-3g
    Source: None
    Filename: enigma2-plugin-drivers-ntfs-3g_1.0-r0_mips32el.ipk
    Size: 656
    MD5Sum: c1c5be269a9516899eec3566c8d2c2ce

    Source: None
    Then how should I "do it by yourself"?
    It can not be found the link suggested by you in the past (https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/t...v-old-20211224) either:
    We couldn’t find any code matching 'ntfs-3g'

    Build instructions are here https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/tree/Developer - you will just have to edit to use the correct branch

    Stop expecting others to spend money on server space just for you - you didn't pay anything for openvix

    "just for me"
    Maybe you should read other forums as well, a lot of people mourn for Python2.

    "you didn't pay anything for openvix"
    There are a lot of things in the world you don't pay either, but somehow it "is worth" for those who give it "by free".

    ViX is a very nice system (thanks to the developer), but if support is such, one must consider, not only "not to pay for it", but do not use it anymore.
    There are a lot of other systems ....

    Dear ronand (VíX Beta Tester)!
    Did you recognize, that BoxBrandingTest.py is missing from ViX 6.2.?
    That is the cause, why some Python3 plugin is not installing.
    It is a fortune, that they can be "copied" from ATV, and without any extra knowledge can made to Python3 (by including some brackets).
    After this everything is o.k.

    And just noticed!
    You are using ViX 5.4 as well: Zgemma H7S running OpenVIX 5.4

    Deary me. You might have noticed that this is an open source project - you are more than welcome to fix the bugs yourself. No amount of whining is going to get the dev team to build and maintain an old image and feeds for you.

    Blah blah, other image works better, blah, blah

    If we charged you 1000€ for it you would probably complain less.

    If you are not happy with it you are welcome to move on.

    We improve things by moving forwards not backwards. If you have something constructive to add that involves moving forward we'll be happy to listen.
