How to reproduce: Play a Stream in Mediaportal (current version 7.4.1) - Exit Mediaportal - Press Menue Button -> Greenscreen

 

OpenATV fixed it: https://github.com/o...40cff75ec56fc61

This is not really a fix... this is more a work-a-round.... when it crashes don't crash....

 

Do you also have a crashlog?

Can you point me to the sources of the mediaportal.... I'm afraid a bug in that media portal seems to be fixed instead of this suggested work-a-round fix...

Hi,

no public sources of MediaPortal.

 

ciao

[littlesat]

Then contact the author.... it needs to be fixed within the plugin... that try-error stuff is not as it should be!

[doubledip]

@dhwz is an active member here on PLi Forums. Perhaps he sees this thread. I already assumed that this GS was caused by MediaPortal. No GS problems with the past releases of Mediaportal.

As far I can see this plugin steals/overwrites a ConfigSubsection.....So in fact the plugin is the MAD thing here... It should be solved there!!!

 

OpenATV fixed it: https://github.com/o...40cff75ec56fc61

I know OpenATV did fix. But actually this is not a fix... this is mare a Q&D work-a-round.. with also the concequence is that the standard mediaplayer plugin offered in the image might lose unpredicted functionality as it's ConfigSubsection is stolen!!!! (At least I see that the show on main menu option on/off is stolen from the MediaPlayer... so the Q&D fix does kill this functionality... , but what functionality more.....?????)

 

I think such Q&D fixes should be avoided...

 

When the makers do not change it then the only not real Q&D solution is decompile it and debug...

 

But it might also be that it is intended... e.g. they do not want this running on non DMM boxes or so

 

Can someone post that specific ipk here so I can try to evaluate?....

[littlesat]

I just installed the 7.4.3 on a ET10K.... I could not verify the issue... I did play a stream...exit media player and press menu... no GSOD???

[littlesat]

I see in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/MediaPortal/additions/fun/itunestrailers.py

 

config.mediaplayer = ConfigSubsection()

 

is there two times... (and this is the only file I see this ConfigSubsection being stolen....)

 

I suggest you only get the GSOD when you were in fun..... and view itunerstrailers.... (but I did not check for closed source parts).

 

The source codes are in the ipk package...

 

I'm afraid this is a simple type

 

I suggest they need to change all

 

config.mediaplayer

 

to 

 

config.mediaportal

 

in that py...

 

Try to place the attached py to the location above...
 

[edit] removed modified code as I'm NOT allowed to modify it (see the license of this plugin)

a bit OT

just looked at the license, it's getting better and better (this exception):

#  This plugin is open source but it is NOT free software.
....
#  It's NOT allowed to execute this plugin and its source code or even parts of it in ANY way
#  on hardware which is NOT licensed by Dream Property GmbH.
...
#  As an exception regarding execution on hardware, you are permitted to execute this plugin on VU+ hardware
#  which is licensed by satco europe GmbH, if the VTi image is used on that hardware.

quite hilarious... 

(and you've been warned )

[littlesat]

Indeed.... Quite Hilarious..... But still the licence says you can run it under OpenPLi on DMM hardware...

 

And it clarifies also the reason why I'm not willing to merge a work-a-round Q&D fix for them.... As I'm freeware and opensource minded...

 

It is NOT free software, so where can I pay... ? (I think they meant NOT freeware software)...

 

Now I helped to debug this one and for now I should remove it from my ET box... And in between I removed the modified/corrected source part because I'm not allowed to post modified parts without permission from the authors...

Stange you also don't have it. My Mediaportal was updated from 7.3.x to 7.4.x. Tonight I shall try a complete reflash and then install 7.4.3 to see if the problem isn't there anymore then.

[Dream1975]

I just installed the 7.4.3 on a ET10K.... I could not verify the issue... I did play a stream...exit media player and press menu... no GSOD???

Did you exit mediaplayer or mediaportal. The GSOD is there with me when playing a stream. Then exit (Y) - exit - exit - exit untill I'm back to normal TV station and immediately press menu to see the OpenPLi main menu (but that won't come up, just a GSOD)

[WanWizard]

That license suggests it is the standard "May run on DMM hardware only" license. Which may indicate that VTI isn't playing by the book here.

What an incredible license.....

And IMHO a very good reason to ban it from feeds.

[littlesat]

You only have it with plating specific steams and it is related to a bug within the plugin

[littlesat]

P.s. the lycense clearly states only dmm and when vu then VTI.
