[Info] Chocholousek picons (Enigma2 plugin)

[s3n0]

Chocholousek picons - plugin for updating Chocholousek's picons in Enigma2 (all EU satellites)

The original intent for developing this plugin was to save free space on the device's internal disk. In the case of "Sync method" the plugin downloads a series of file archives (7-zip) with picons, for user-selected satellite positions. From the archives, the plugin unpacks only the necessary picons to the internal disk (depending on the service reference codes found in the "userboquet" files).

In the new version of the plugin you can choose the method of updating the picons:

• Copy all picons: Delete all current picons as first
• Copy all picons: Incremental update (copy only new picons or picons with different file size)
• Sync with TV channel lists (userbouquet files)
• Sync with TV+RADIO channel lists (userbouquet files)

If the 7-zip archiver is not found on the system, it will be attempted to install it in two steps:

1. with package manager (i.e. attempt to install 7-zip from your Enigma feed server)
2. or attempt to download a standalone 7za binary file from internet

Functionality is guaranteed and tested on the following Enigmas:

• OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenBH, BH, VTi, PurE2 and some others - based on OE Alliance 4.x or OE 2.0
• DreamElite, DreamOS, Merlin - based on OE 2.5 and higher

Unfortunately, not all picon styles exist for all resolutions or vice versa - not all resolutions exist for every picon style (background). All picon styles are available only in picon resolution 220x132 (which can be considered the most used).

Please test the plugin and report bugs.

Thanks.

2.0.200221
​Added Turkish language.

[s3n0]

2.0.200424
Minor fixes for some SKINs (in NewNigma2 / OE2.0):
- thanks to @alexbore, for renting a set-top box for remote debugging of the source code (DM800HDse with NewNigma2 / OE2.0)
- determining the position of the nested widget via "center,center" does not work, therefore it's necessary to use the relative determination of the position "x,y"
- removed the ability to scroll the list in the satellite configuration window, via the left / right buttons on the RCU, as the .pageUp() and .pageDown() methods for the ConfigList does not work in some OE cores (SKINs)
- fixed error "FATAL!: addTimer must be called from thread 3261 but is called from thread 3680" (probably a bug in some C-libraries in some Enigma distributions)
Added "Cancel" button in the satellite configuration window (including improved control of changes made by the user).

[s3n0]

2.1.200427
A directory browser has been added - for the purpose of selecting a user-defined picon folder.
- !!! please be careful when deleting and creating folders in the directory browser !
- !!! you are responsible for any loss of important data, after accidentally deleting the directory !
Minor changes in the source code.

2.1.200504
Improved Russian language (by @FRAP).
Minor changes in the source code.

2.1.200506
Minor changes in the source code.
Fixed a bug in the non-existent Python module "requests", when the plugin refused to load into the list in the Plugin-MENU:
- it's a remnant of a function from previous source code
- the "requests" module was used to test the alternate function
Design:
- the list of selected satellites in the configuration menu has changed to abbreviated text with the number of selected satellites together
- added unicode circle character (emptied / filled) in the selection of satellite positions, for their better visibility
Localization:
- added missing dot in one sentence, in translation files
- improved Russian language (by @FRAP)

2.1.200524
Fixed bug in case of Enigma2 TeamBlue, on Gigablue devices - thanks to @dejanf.
- there is a variable PACKAGE_VERSION imported from the module 'enigma', but instead of three values (version: major, minor, patch) it provides only two values and I don't know why

[s3n0]

3.1.200720
Changed file-hosting server for downloading picon archives, thanks to Ellano (https://ellano.sk): from https://drive.google.com -> to -> https://picon.cz
Fixed a bug that caused the satellite selection window to open slowly.

[s3n0]

3.1.200926
Added a new option to quickly restart the Enigma (GUI) after updating the picons.

3.1.201103
Added support for non-standard userbouquet files (lowercase) in Enigma, after using the DreamSet application:
- unfortunately, DreamSet uploads userbouquet files with lowercase characters to the set-top box and therefore no matching service reference codes are found
- the process of comparing service reference codes from userbouquet files will no longer be case sensitive

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

Edit: After 2x Reset it is running now!

[Gio60]

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.

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).

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.

[s3n0]

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.

[s3n0]

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.

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.

[Gio60]

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 post it in the ATV Chat,I hope anyone can help you .

[s3n0]

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

[s3n0]

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.
