[ViX_Misc] EPG Refresh, iEPG and VPS

[ccs]

Thought I'd give it a try with a bog standard flash of 5.4.005, with no settings restored.

Added VPS plugin and both timers and autotimers showed the option to enable VPS.

Then tried a settings restore and got a crash , removing VPS and the settings restore worked ok.

Added VPS again, both timers and autotimers showed the option to enable VPS, but a settings restore crashed the box.

Simplified version....

Added VPS plugin and both timers and autotimers showed the option to enable VPS, took a settings restore and restored it, got the crash.

So can we have a copy of the backup.

I did a clean flash, no restore and downloaded VPS plugin and configured settings. Same issue - no VPS option on manual record from EPG. So, I went back to my actual VPS settings and turned them all off except "Enable VPS plugin" and I got the VPS option on manual record from EPG!

So, my initial setting of yes to "VPS enabled by default" seems to be the source of the problem. With the setting to no as per attached screenshot, then I get the VPS option in manual record settings. However, after setting that to yes and saving with the GREEN button a subsequently checking the setting menu, it appears that the VPS setting has remained at no. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi ccs - is there not an issue with Release code and VPS which is causing crashes? The development code to address various issues has not made it to Release yet.

Can confirm I replicate this.

To add - when in create timer, toggling VPS the focus jumps to the title rather than remaining on the VPS option

 

[Joe_90]

Yes - I got that too. It seems to be channel dependent. I couldn't get it to work at all on our terrestrial service (Saorview) here in Ireland.

If it's any help I added the "justLoad" item mentioned in the crash (some time ago).
It is to stop sanity checking on timers as the system starts up as it's possible at that point for the tuner config to be incomplete and hence checking for clashes at that point would be unreliable, and quite likely to fail (and often did for me, hence the code change).

EDIT: That was 3 years ago (and the call is currently on line 466, not 456).

So the issue is in what self.session.nav.RecordTimer.loadTimer is set to.

Does the VPS plugin do something with this?

 

[ccs]

.... my timers.xml file was empty, if that could be significant...

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<timers>
</timers>

and in my basic test I didn't configure VPS at all.

Not that I'm aware of, but could easily be wrong.

The version of BackupManager.py in 5.4.005 is this.....

https://github.com/OpenViX/vix-core/blob/1d3988c712516d33ae7f9b281b0ab800b2586f5b/src/BackupManager.py

which does crash at line 456.

I reckon you're looking at the current master version...

https://github.com/OpenViX/vix-core/blob/master/src/BackupManager.py

 

[birdman]

I reckon you're looking at the current master version...

Yes - I just went to github to look.

Where is the source of the VPS plugin?

I'm wondering whether it is intercepting the loadTimer call incorrectly. Any such intercept has to be able to handle anything thrown at it (not difficult - I had to ensure this in the EPG Translator plugin).

Yes - it's a bug in the plugin.
It's intercepting calls (code in Modifications.py) and making assumptions about the args they will be passed. So if the intercepted call actually has additional ones (as the Vix one does) it crashes.

I'll see about making a working plugin....

Found it in enigma2-plugins.

That is not the current version.

Not easy to find, some of these .py's, where should I have been looking?

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.

Any reason not to go the 1.7 version mentioned as being in openPLI?

 

[birdman]

Well, I was using the one that is in the enimga2-plugins source and so ends up in the package manager.

If there's anther one that should be used then there's more than one thing that requires fixing here.

But I'd still need to know where the v1.7 PLi code is (OK - found it).

 

[goRt]

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.
