EPG Refresh, iEPG and VPS

[ccs]

Here's a Modifications.py with the intercepts coded such that they can handle any caller. (I think).

(attachment removed - I spotted an error...)

I can't download the current plugin to put it into it as:

EDIT: Fixed that. Had to do an update first....but the files are compiled in it and these are arch-specific(?) so I can't just replace the *.pyo file there.

I didn't spot you spotting an error.

The settings restore now works ok, but epg/green causes a crash, you probably know already..

I'm only trying to fix the crash. Which occurs as the plugin code expects the enigma2 code to be using a specific API, and it can't cater for any change to this (although it should, and can).

There is some attempt to do this in both the Vix and PLi plugin, but they've both just hardwired specific hacks to one specific call rather than generalizing everything.

Here are versions which I think should fix the crash for both the Vix and PLi version of the plugin.

But it would help if there were some agreement on which should be used, and the other one to be deleted (to avoid further confusion).

PLi plugin: Modifications.py

Vix pugin: Updated, see: https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...l=1#post509007

I thought the last version fixed the crash? Anyway, I'll try again later this evening when recordings are finished.

That was the intent, but I forgot to edit one line.

To update,while adding a timer presents the VPS option and appears to let you select yes and save, if you subsequently edit the timer then the VPS option hasn't been saved.

I was getting the same issue. It looked like I was selecting VPS=yes on the timer edit and saving with GREEN as usual, but looking at the timer subsequently the setting was =no.

ViX version works fine doing a settings restore, and there is no longer a crash in epg/green mentioned in post #181.

VPS option shows in timers and autotimers.

Selecting VPS=yes still gets lost after saving.

Based on a bog standard 5.4.005

Good news, thanks

, and there is no longer a crash in epg/green mentioned in post #181.

That was my fault (and why I removed the original).

Selecting VPS=yes still gets lost after saving.

Since the crash is fixed I may look at that next.

No point doing anything with the PLi plugin because we are OE-A and build from our repos.

[Huevos]

Gordon, you have removed P3 compatibility. This plugin is used in P3 images.

Not knowingly. All I've done is make the call interceptions totally generic (in that they can handle being called with any args).

What is the actual issue?

OK; but I was asked to do so, so someone here is using the PLi version.

OK. I've actually installed the plugin (but, from what I've picked up in the past it will be of no use to me as Freeview doesn't send the expected signals?).

Now sure what you mean by "setting VPS=yes".

I can see "Enable VPS plugin" (which is on by default) and "VPS enabled by default" (which is No by default).

Ah!!! I see.

If you disable the plugin, that works. But you then can't turn it back on!!!
Should be simple to track that down (hopefully...)

[birdman]

Forcing the config.plugins.vps.enabled setting to be written out whatever its value fixes the issue.

Not sure that this should be required, but if you drop this plugin.py in place it will at least let it be switched back on.

Well done for making progress with this. Re: P3 I was talking about removal of absolute import.

Once this is working someone needs give it a test in P3 (maybe Twol).

Plugin "version number" is a subjective thing as that is based on the repo that it is built from. As we use boxbranding, the two versions are going to be different. If anybody is using a PLI version on our Distro, they are confusing things. Please don't spend your time trying to fix the PLI version. Ideally, we should add the fixes/improvements from PLI to our version. And send our fixes to PLI too. There haven't been any functional changes to our version since 2013
