Thema: OpenWebif no longer works, after update (July 9, 2022) [SOLVED]

Hello.

Today (July 9, 2022) I updated OpenATV 6.4 on the Formuler F4-Turbo set-top box, via the GUI (blue button on RCU + update option). Everything went well. Then the set-top box also rebooted in the standard way.

After rebooting, I found that OpenWebif no longer works (it was not possible to open Webif through my PC).

Even a complete reinstallation of OpenWebif from the OpenATV feed server did not help me:

Code:

init 4
opkg update
opkg remove --force-removal-of-dependent-packages enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif
rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/*
rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif
opkg install oe-alliance-branding python-cheetah python-pprint

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif

# NOTE: After installing the basic package "enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif", only the additional package "......-vxg" is automatically installed and the other packages are missing. So we will install them additionally:

opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif-terminal enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif-themes enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif-webtv

reboot      # init 3

Finally, downloading the IPK package v1.5.2 for "ALL" Enigma2, helped, but it is already the latest version 1.5.2, and not just 1.4.6 as on the OpenATV feed servers:

Code:

init 4
opkg update
opkg remove --force-removal-of-dependent-packages enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif
rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/*
rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif
opkg install oe-alliance-branding python-cheetah python-pprint

opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif_1.5.2-git20220706-r6_all.ipk

reboot      # init 3

I don't know now where the mistake is . Just wanted to report this... in case anyone has a similar problem to me.

I also do not rule out that my OpenATV 6.4 firmware is already very broken. I update the firmware only once every two weeks and that is a possible cause of problems with OpenWebif. In the meantime, some important updates in my Enigma2 may fail and cause problems. However, the OpenWebif v1.5.2 package as IPK, solved the problem in my case.

Hi.

No, I used another source.

From a competitive discussion forum. Currently the latest OpenWebif package 1-5-2-git20220706-r6-all, universal, for all Enigma2 distributions, from page 4:
OpenWebIF Plugin - Page 4 - Enigma2 System Utility Plugins - Linux Satellite Support Community

Direct link (!!! a registered account is required for this forum !!!):
Access Denied - Linux Satellite Support Community

But I believe it's just a copy of the IPK file from the official OpenWebif - from GitHub portal:
GitHub - E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-OpenWebif: GPL Web Interface for e2stabs

Small BUG is there, with the version 1-5-2-git20220706-r6-all, on the OpenATV 6.4:

Although the large graphic RCU does not work - it does not appear in OpenWebif after clicking on the "two arrows" symbol, in the new OpenWebif 1.5.2, installed in OpenATV 6.4, but this does not bother me at all.

For me personally, even a schematic RCU directly in OpenWebif is sufficient.

Probably this universal OpenWebif 1.5.2 still needs to be modified so that it can read the graphical RCU, which in the case of OpenATV is located somewhere here: "/usr/share/enigma2/rc_models/".

I don't know why the graphic RCU doesn't work exactly - it won't show up in OpenWebif. I didn't want to find out in the code of the official OpenWebif plugin.
