Thema: Crash AutoBouquetsMaker on scan!

Hi.

For the new year, the development teams of various Enigma2 distributions are going to migrate to Python 3 from the old Python 2. However, compatibility should be maintained there back to the old Python 2.

It looks like this source code has already been migrated to the Python 3 version. However, the latest update forgets compatibility for both Python 3.x and Python 2.x. The latest update is only compatible with Python 3.x.

Source code: AutoBouquetsMaker/dvbscanner.py at master * oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker * GitHub
Change history: History for AutoBouquetsMaker/src/scanner/dvbscanner.py - oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker * GitHub

If you want to use it, a temporary solution might be to return the original file, but you must not update it (yet). Because if you update Enigma, a new version of the file will be returned to you.

You can install the plugin and revert the old file, without this Python 2/3 modification ( dvbscanner.py handle itervalues for python 2/3 * oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker@e5babb9 * GitHub ). It's just a short piece of code, on line 256 - at the end, with some iterable object.

So here is modified file, without new change ... so, download and place the file to the appropriate folder:
dvbscanner.py ---> ftp://IP-address/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/scanner/dvbscanner.py

Then restart the Enigma (GUI), for example with the commands: init 4; sleep 5; init 3

If a ".pyo" file is created after restarting Enigma, then the source code, i.e. the file "dvbscanner.py", should be deleted so that it can be updated during the next update that you perform later (for example, when the error is fixed).

No problem .

OK, so does it work ?

Did you undo the last update of the "dvbscanner.py" file (my attached file, without the last update to github) and does it work ?

Yes, but you should delete the .py file (source code). Because usually only and only the .pyo compressed file (come from IPK / DEB package) is updated during the plugins / packages updating process. This means that when you update some plugins, the .pyo file will updated to a newer .pyo file, but the .py file always stays in your device. When you restart the Enigma, the source code file .py is automatically translated to .pyo code. So you will always have the old version of the file (despite updating to a newer version).

Enigma only uses (runs) these .pyo files. Not source code - that is .py files.
