PlutoTV plugin, now for OpenViX

[alan1812]

serviceapp as not got gstplayer you need to install e2iplayer-deps for gstplayer you will need both

 

[spanner123]

ServiceApp has been installed by default with OpenVix for some time now hasn't it? And in serviceapp settings you can select which player to use and one of those is gstplayer. No other installs needed from what I can see.

Not on my vu+ solo 4k i had to install them both you can choose gstplayer but it will say not installed until you install the e2iplayer-deps

i think i just installed the gstplayer package. checking again i see that there is also a gstplayer2 package:

root@dm900:~/logs# opkg list *gstplayer*
gstplayer - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer version 0.1-r0
gstplayer-dbg - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer version 0.1-r0 - Debugging files
gstplayer-dev - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer version 0.1-r0 - Development files
gstplayer2 - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer2 version 0.1-r0
gstplayer2-dbg - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer2 version 0.1-r0 - Debugging files
gstplayer2-dev - 0.1-r0 - gstplayer2 version 0.1-r0 - Development files
libgstplayer-1.0-0 - 1.26.10-r0 - GStreamer 1.0 gstplayer-1.0 library

this is strange. when i tried it a short while ago i did not have any problems.
did you you install it from the openvix plugin list? if i recall correctly gstplayer is part of the serviceapp.

Yes tried from plugin list and console. Message says ‘ no plugins were installed or removed’ Also tried installing e2 player and deps. Channels still crashing and occasionally play then crash again.

‘ no plugins were installed or removed’

This means you already have it installed.
And you don't need to install e2iplayer-deps.
Just type it in putty:
opkg install gstplayer or gstplayer2
If you want to reinstall then:
opkg install gstplayer --force-reinstall

For 5001/5002 services you need additional packages.

Gstplayer2 is a newer version, but needs code change to use it.
I have the code change and have to say it makes no difference that I can see which is why I havenit added code change to OpenViX version.
So for the moment forget it. Like many things people get carried away by posts talking about new versions which in actuality offer no difference,

the name gstplayer suggests that gstreamer is used for playback. however, the system already includes the latest gstreamer for playback. so, i dont understand what the point is to have a second gst player.

Like many things when the OE-A gets updated (e.g. next branch OE-A 6.0 build is based on the master branch of OpenEmbedded OE 6.0 Wrynose) you get updates to existing components as a matter of course and some people like to try them.
In the case of gstplayer2, OpenATV made it a setup option - I haven,t seen any reason to do so.

so, is my assumption then correct that built-in gstreamer, gstplayer and gstplayer2 are just 3 different gstreamer versions?

 

[pololoko111]

Exteplayer and gstplayer is the work of this dev https://github.com/e2iplayer created especially for this plugin.
They are still used in serviceApp although the dev no longer publicly supports them.
These are 3 different players (eteplayer3, gstplayer, gstreamer).
I don't know why they changed the name from gstplayer to gstplayer2.

Fantastic plugin, but I have noticed an error on the Pluto TV (united Kingdom) channel EPG. Channel 18 "The Pink Panther" channel comes up with the EPG for channel 19. "Pluto TV Westerns". Anybody know how to rectify this?

 

[2stein]

i can confirm this. westerns and pink panther have the same epg. i would suspect that it is a bug in epg data. let's check again tomorrow if the problem persists.

Its actually been like this for several weeks, if not longer. Interestingly the error is not there on the Pluto android app, just on the enigma 2 plugin.

 

[2stein]

well, then there is a problem with channel ids or how the epg is generated. however, my premium ai quota for this month is used up. and the free dumb ai chatgpt 4.1 is not capabel of finding such complex problems. so, one week wait

 

[2stein]

just wanted to investigate the epg problem... and it looks like the "The Pink Panther" channel is gone.
any other channels that have the identical epg?
