[ViX_Misc] Hard coded DNS settings for plugin download / software updates?

[abu baniaz]

Agreed. But if the connectivity checks is for other functions, then openvix being temporary down, eg server upgrades, should not result in receiver thinking that it has no internet access.

 

[Huevos]

That check is used in online update and plugin browser only.

Sorry to resurrect this thread again, but I can't download plugins today. I've checked via ssh the box is connected to the internet and it can reach 8.8.8.8 port 53

root@gbue4k:~# nslookup [url]www.cloudflare.com[/url] 8.8.8.8
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8:53

A packet capture isn't giving any clues as to why the check thinks my box isn't connected to the internet. Any ideas?

Anything in debug log when you try to download?

Anything in debug log when you try to download?

Where do I find that?

In System menu, set up debug logs. Then simulate the problem and afterwards download the log from the box.

I am getting connection refused

< 49.771711> [OnlineUpdateCheck][adapterAvailable] PASSED
< 49.772510> [OnlineUpdateCheck][NetworkUp] FAILED <class 'ConnectionRefusedError'>

I don't really understand why though as the box can reach 8.8.8.8 and I'm getting answers to DNS lookups as well.

And suddenly it's started working. I went to turn the debug logging off and the box restarted the gui. Went to give it one last go and it's all fine.

I have no clue what's going on here?

Debug logs : I run with debug logs all the time, and it has no impact on my wifes viewing - so not a big overhead.

Ah, ok, that's good to know. Next time I need to turn it on I will leave it on. I can't really tinker any more at the moment as the family are watching TV.

As to this weird unexplained failed internet connectivity check, I'm going to bury my head in the sand and pretend it never happened!
