[ViX_Misc] EPG Refresh, iEPG and VPS

[Joe_90]

Thanks ccs.
@goRt - are you still using the Release version 5.4? I'm testing this on a development image which has had fixes made to the Event Id (sourced from the Sky IEPG transponder) which now matches the EIT now/next data. There have been a few tweaks to the menus system also, but I don't know if they will have any effect on VPS function.

Just for clarity.
1) AutoTimer setting from EPG works fine for me. It provides a VPS setting option in the menu dialogue. The subsequent timers generated by AutoTimer have the VPS info in them and they appear to be working fine.
2) Manual timer setting from EPG does not provide any VPS options. No VPS info visible in the subsequently generated timer unless I delete the timer name in the menu dialogue. Then I get VPS option.
3) Instant record pops up a VPS dialogue once the recording starts.

This is through the menu system. I haven't tried OpenwebIF.

Yes sir, my day to day is 5.3.039, I flip onto 5.4.004 release to test, if I change to dev in the menus will I pull the version you're working on? I want to avoid building yet another environment to build the dev branch from.

Posted in error.

@fat-tony, is the problem related to the timer name and description fields being prepopulated?

Maybe try reversing this code and testing again...

This is GREEN GREEN from live tv though, not from EPG.

There appears to have been more activity on VPS in OpenPLi over recent years....

Last I looked they were on 1.6, we're on 1.3

In channel selection as well as grid EPG, I select Green to add timer, there is definitely an Enable VPS option.

 

[Joe_90]

Thanks abu - I definitely don't get the "enable VPS" option in GREEN (add timer), only in BLUE (add autotimer). I wonder if I have a rogue .py file somewhere? I'll check and then maybe do a couch flash and restore.


Here's a screenshot of a timer selection from grid EPG:

Thanks @Huevos. GREEN GREEN on the current code - no VPS option. When I reverse the code as suggested, then GREEN GREEN from the current live service provides a VPS option. No effect on EPG as you say.

 

[Huevos]

I am using current code in the enigma repo and plugin repo.

From GREEN GREEN I get this:




From EPG GREEN I get this:



No idea what is supposed to be wrong.

 

[Joe_90]

Very mysterious - you and abu have the VPS option from grid EPG. I only get the option when name field is empty (as per your suggested change) or in autotimer or instant record. Either I have a odd setting in the user interface or a rogue piece of code somewhere. I'll try a download flash and no restore and install VPS clean, then try a settings restore.

 

[Huevos]

This was a clean install without restoring anything.

Does a restore change anything?

I got the box out of the cupboard for this test. I haven't got anything to restore (for this box).

@Fat Tony, I am on 5.4 006.011. Which image are you on?

 

[Joe_90]

Same abu. I haven't done a flash yet. Will report back!

 

[Joe_90]

Downloaded dev 5.4.006.011, flashed and restored settings. Same - autotimers provide a VPS enable setting, manual timer nothing.

 

[Joe_90]

I installed VPS on my GB Quad Plus. Dev 5.4.006.011 - exactly the same result. Autotimers ok, but manual timer shows no sign of VPS. I must have some fundamental difference in settings which is blocking VPS on manual timers.

So can we have a copy of the backup.
