VPS geht nicht

[foxcat]

Hallo, bin aus Deutschland und nutze auch Openvix auf einer AX614K. Seit kurzem geht VPS nicht mehr, es ist zwar im Menü noch Konfigurierbar aber im Timermenü nicht mehr Vorhanden uns so Funktionslos. Gibt es Tipp? VPS geht in Deutscghland sehr Gut.



Grüße

Hallo, Ich kann ein klein bissen Deutsch aber ich glaube viele hier kann das nicht. Gibt es kein forum fuer Deutsche kunden in Deutsche sprache? Ich habe meine kiste gestern bekommen und verstehe nicht was VPS bedautet. Ist das ein plugin oder was? When du das erklaeren kann dann versuche ich du zu helfen. Bis Bald

VPS is a plugin for accurate recording, there's a longer thread about the issue in English

Correct, a change was made to openvix which caused the issue so openvix is now waiting for the VPS Dec to fix his code to accommodate

There is a workaround, if you go to VPS settings and change "VPS enabled by default" to NO, then you get VPS in add new timer (VPS functions correctly with autotimers)

Hallo, VPS wird zwar so Angezeigt, die Steuerung geht aber nicht, Leider! Das Problem geht nicht zu Umgehen.

The "edit timer" function does not handle the VPS setting. After editing, the value is unset. Only AutoTimer works correctly and sets the timer.xml (and timers_vps.xml) properly.


Google translate:

Die Funktion "Timer bearbeiten" verarbeitet die VPS-Einstellung nicht. Nach der Bearbeitung wird der Wert nicht gesetzt. Nur der automatische Timer funktioniert ordnungsgemäß und stellt die Datei timer.xml (und die Timer vps.xml) ordnungsgemäß ein.

Changes have been made so that it should be working again in OpenViX 5.4.007 when it is released.

 

[Joe_90]

The edit timer function does not work in that it does not save the VPS setting.

The edit timer function does not work in that it does not save the VPS setting.

The reason for that is that the TimerEntry code is in the images and there is no code in Vix (and Pli, ATV, ... as far as I know) to add it in.

There is code in the AutoTimer as that is also a plugin, and knows about the VPS plugin.

I'm (slowly) looking into it.

Thanks birdman. I'm just reminding others that the only way to get VPS working is to use the AutoTimer function. Actually, AutoTimer can mess with VPS when it comes to recording an event. What VPS does when it is preparing a recording is that it modifies the start time in timers.xml by advancing it a minute ahead of actual time if it hasn't seen the event change flag. This holds off the start of the recording. It keeps advancing the start time until it sees the flag and then it sets the start time before the current real time and this triggers the recording to start immediately. This works pretty well most of the time. However, if the AutoTimer interval expires (default 30 minutes) during this period when VPS is advancing the start time, it may alter the start time to the original scheduled start time which may be in the past and the recording will start immediately. I have had this happen a couple of times. It's not a big deal as the effect is to have a longer padding before the programme starts. VPS will hold off the end of the recording until it sees the next programme flag. I suppose there is a possibility that AutoTimer could mess with the end of the recording, but my AutoTimer interval is set to 75 minutes, so I haven't actually seen any issues in that regard. Apologies for the ramble, but just to confirm that VPS works pretty well on 28.2 sat and terrestrial for me using AutoTimer or instant record. Manual timer setting doesn't work.

That's why I'm not rushing.
It appears to work as well as it ever did, and at least the on/off setting now sticks.

There's also a safe-mode option which could complicate things a bit as well, you keep your original pre and post padding start and stop times, and VPS will adjust at either end if needed.

 

[Joe_90]

Yep ccs - the safe mode option makes the recording start at your initially selected time at the latest and I assume it extends the recording at the end. I haven't really used the safe option as I wanted to see how reliable it was. Channel 5 is a bit niggly as sometimes they start the programme before the event running flag is set in the EIT. It's usually only 30 seconds or so but that is down to the broadcaster's playout equipment. In the case of Channel 5 it seems to be triggered by the scheduled clock time. The Irish terrestrial service (Saorview) is the same - event flags change at the EPG schedule time, so if there is a delay in the actual programme start you may miss the end.

But it was working in Vix prior to 5.4.0

Also VPS can be added using "edit timer" in the web if to create a new timer

There is no code to do it, and no sign of there ever having been any.

Which is unrelated to the menus within Vix itself.

I don't wish to appear rude, but there were a lot of version control issues on the other thread, and it remains fact that up until 5.4.x VPS 1.3 did not have these issues

I couldn't find any either (that's not saying much), but I've tried 5.3.039 and setting a timer from epg/green works, enable vps=yes sticks and the vps.xml file is created.

In the next release, 5.4.001 vps doesn't stick, as is currently being reported.

Maybe the vps plugin isn't linking into the add timer interface properly anymore, but still works for autotimers?

 

[ccs]

I've just flashed 5.4.001 without any settings restores and as expected, the epg/green problem still exists.

When I downloaded the vps plugin, am I right in saying that I got the current latest version, and the same would have applied when I was on 5.3.039 ??

If that's the case, the plugin works, but something has changed in ViX. Maybe I'm stating the obvious.

It was this commit I was trying to exclude from the equation....

Trying to remove the commit doesn't work because I get into the boot loop which it fixes !
