[SF8008] Open ViX Downloads Before v6.2 - Any Links?

[DixieRay]

Hi,

Is it possible to download the Open ViX image files for an Octagon SF8008 for versions before v6.2?
I checked the usual download site and all the images are 6.2 versions. The archive page is empty, no links.

Would anyone please be able to provide a link to the image versions before 6.2 for an Octagon SF8008?

Thx

They've all gone now as far as I know. Even if you found an old image there would be no feeds for it.

The simple answer is that some plugins don't work with python3. I'm still on 5.4 on my Solo2 for this reason.

Name them and maybe it can be resolved. ….. and even OpenPli have announced today a freeze on python 2 and a move to python 3 image

The main one is a c Line downloader so not sure I can name it here. But the author is on another forum and has already stated that he has no knowledge of python3 but is happy for someone else to take the job on.

I am in the same position. Have reinstalled 5.4.0.16 for these plugins
mp3Browser
webradioFS

Lucky enough I have the image on an USB Stick and the ipq files of these plugins with me.

The developer of the mp3Brower does not exist anymore and the developer of webradioFS does not see a benefit converting and maintaining two plugins.

So mp3Browser - I have disassembled to python, converted (very quickly) to python 3 and run on latest ViX - its a hacked about version but runs on a few tests of mine.
I have to say that this is not the best code I ahve ever seen but obviously does it for you on python 2.
Can you try it?? no promises but finds my mp3 files , and plays.

So python 3 image copy attached plugin.py to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/MP3Browser (and copy over all the existing files from python2 directory). Then reboot.

If I have time next few days will look at the other plugin, but will probably take a bit longer.

P.S. you need to Telnet to the box and enter :- opkg install python3-mutagen

Thanks Twol for investing your time.
I think I did not exactly do what you expected. I saved the old image and flashed the new one 6.2.009. Now I had no more the subdirectory MP3Browser. So I thought I could just load the old ipk. But I got the error message calculate_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies... python-mutagen

What did I do wrong?

You need to do this….ö
P.S. you need to Telnet to the box and enter :- opkg install python3-mutagen
You should copy the complete folder over from the old image and then copy back replacing the plugin with the attachment……plus the opkg install.
You could try the opkg install and then the .ipk but have,nt tried that

Does not need to maintain two plugins. Just make the plugin work in both.

Hi Twol

With the new plugin.py I could get into MP3Browser. I see that there are 967 MP3s, the first one with picture and meta data available. With enter this song start playing. And with Guide I see the stored lyrics from the cache files. What I miss is the list of all songs so I can scroll down and select what to play. With "7" I get the list of the artists and can select the artist. The list of the songs however also remains empty. Unfortunately with Openwebif I cannot get a screenshot but only see the current song.

At least now it is working - thank you for this. Is is possible to get the song list back? And how difficult would it be to increase the font and the plugin screen size?

Again, thanks a lot for the time and effort you spend.

This is how the list of the 70 Blues songs look like. (screenshot with old digital camera).

OK, getting there! Lots of spagetti and lots of try/except code lines that I am having to fix to sort this out.
If you could let me know what the number and coloured remote keys are supposed to do, it would help. They all now seem to work or at least do something!

I have about 2000 tracks from my NAS box in the database and can see them all. Need to sort out posters as it not finding all of them as I think it should.
A few days more at current pace

@nekrub2
Latest update - been quite a saga untaggling all the spaghetti!... issues then post debug log

At some stage will create an ipk

 

[nekrub2]

List in all songs, selected artist and genre look fine, scrolling within also. Show lyrics is fine too. Had however a crash when entering 3 favorites open. Thanks for all your work and looking into the logs.
