Thema: Chocholousek picons (Enigma2 plugin)

Zitat von Rusty70

Installation has been made but when running there is a Problem: Connection to Internet failed!

Edit: After 2x Reset it is running now!

Hi.

Thanks for the BUG report.

This problem only occurs occasionally. This happens if you use a VPN connection (OpenVPN, ZeroTier, etc.).

I haven't addressed this issue yet, as users aren't reporting this issue. Restarting the entire set-top box (Linux system) will always solve it. Apparently this is a problem with one of the modules in Python 2.x that downloads data from the internet. Apparently this module is not always able to decide correctly which network interface in a Linux system it should use primarily (as a gateway for internet connection).

Thanks,very nice Plugin,it work´s here with Hotbird 13° and Astra 19.2° very good,all picons were found.With ATV Images from tomorrow,now you can find the Plugin on ATV Feed too.

Thank you very much !

Code:

root@formuler4turbo:~# opkg list | grep chocholousek
enigma2-plugin-extensions-chocholousek-picons - 3.1.201103 - Enigma2 plugin to download or update picons (all satellite positions)

The description of the plugin is misleading. The description "download or update..." is wrong. Right there should be a "download and update...", or according to the plugin description directly - i.e. the following text: "Download and update Chocholousek picons".

Also, the description "(all satellites)" in the brackets is incorrect. It's an old description. There should be "(EU satellites)" and that doesn't apply quite accurately.

For example, picon-packs for Russia, there are so far only satellites 36, 75 and 85, with partial support for Chocholousek's picons. Support for picons is therefore primarily for EU satellites. Chocholousek has to take care of a lot of packages and keep them up to date. It would like some sat-experts from Russia who will take care of the current info for picons on Russian satellites.

4.0.210129
Source code modified to support both versions of Python 2 and 3 at the same time.
Fixed description for the plugin:
- picons are supported mainly for satellite positions from Europe
- other satellite positions are less supported ... such as satellites in Russia (not all satellites from Russia are supported)

(download the plugin and more information can be found in the post #1)

Can you please have a look for ATV 6.5 Images,because on my Mutant HD51 receiver it don´t work´s.,I have try to install it by ipk and by telnet,but same error.

Hi.

Thanks for report.

Um, that's weird. Did you download version 4.0.xxxxx ? Because on OpenATV 6.5 I debugged the plugin and everything worked. The only thing that may still be broken is the process of processing IPK packages by the OPKG manger in OpenATV 6.5. Maybe the process of processing IPK packages has changed and therefore it does not work now. I didn't do anything with the IPK package. I changed and tested only the Python code to work with both Python 2 and 3.

Could you possibly insert a debug-log? But you must first activate it in the OpenATV GUI MENU and then restart the set-top box.

EDIT:

That's how I found it.

Since the source code in .py files was compiled on OpenATV 6.4 / Python 2, the resulting .pyo files are different and do not work properly on OpenATV 6.5 / Python 3.

The question is, what I do as next step.

Code:

Plugin  Extensions/OpenMultiboot failed to load: No module named 'Plugins.Extensions.OpenMultiboot.plugin'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/PluginComponent.py", line 56, in readPluginList
    plugin = my_import('.'.join(["Plugins", c, pluginname, "plugin"]))
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Tools/Import.py", line 2, in my_import
    mod = __import__(name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Plugins.Extensions.OpenMultiboot.plugin'

Plugin  Extensions/ChocholousekPicons failed to load: No module named 'Plugins.Extensions.ChocholousekPicons.plugin'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/PluginComponent.py", line 56, in readPluginList
    plugin = my_import('.'.join(["Plugins", c, pluginname, "plugin"]))
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Tools/Import.py", line 2, in my_import
    mod = __import__(name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Plugins.Extensions.ChocholousekPicons.plugin'

I need to find out if it's a compatibility error of .pyo files between Python 2 & Python 3 or if it's more a bug in the new Enigma - OpenATV 6.5.

Yes,it´s the last Update,I post you in few minutes the Debuglog,no problem.

Image it´s from the 17.01.2021,for the Mutant HD51 it was the last Update for 6.5.

I have already moved on. The ".pyo" files are identical (CRC32 checking) from Python 2 (ATV 6.4) as well as from Python 3 (ATV 6.5). Only the "__pycache__" directory has been added to the plugin folder, with the files ".pyc" inside, and if this directory / files are missing for Python 3 (ATV 6.5), then plugin doesn't work.

////// EDIT :

So for now, it looks like OpenATV 6.5 / Python 3 needs ".py" files (source code, not optimized, not compiled), because otherwise this plugin code will not be recompiled and integrated into Enigma correctly. OpenATV 6.5 / Python3 alpha version, automatically compiles source code (.py) according to its own needs.

So if I use the .py source code instead of the compiled .pyo, then everything works. However, I do not think this is the right solution. Many plugin developers refuse to publish their source code directly.

I don't know if it's a development phase in OpenATV 6.5 / Python 3, as an alpha-test phase, or if this principle of how .py / .pyo files works will remain in Enigma permanently.

Answer from @Niker

for py3 3rd party plugins are built from here: GitHub - oe-alliance/3rdparty-plugins-python3 he can create pull request there, he should note dependecies needed if any, so that we can adjust bitbake recipe

if plugin is not source closed and source is available best would be to create new bb recipe for it, so it can be built like other plugins

Hi. Thanks for the info. The plugin is of course open source. I have it on my github. The OpenATV team of developers can safely insert as a fork from my github (e2plugins/ChocholousekPicons at master . s3n0/e2plugins . GitHub) if it is possible... I don't know. However, I will definitely leave the source code files in the next version of the ChocholousekPicons plugin for the time being, due to the smooth running in OpenATV-6.5 alpha version.


4.0.210130
For the needs of OpenATV-6.5 alpha version (based on Python 3.8.x), ".py" files are inserted into the installation package instead of ".pyo" files.
