I will try other Picons. The spinner started and after 10-12 mins there came some info on what it's downloading. Now 15 mins later, the same text in the window, and spinner is still running.... Should not take that long time?

No.

Not even on slow media, my picons are on my backup USB stick, and even then an update takes less than 30 seconds or so.

Note that the device you install the picons on must be formatted with a linux file system, because it makes heavy use of symlinks. If you install it on a stick formatted on a PC, the symlinks become copies, and that indeed can take a long time with 5000+ files...

500/500 line, installing in flash, so there should be no limitations.

Then I have no clue.

srp-full.400x240 I'm trying to install.

Shouldn't be needed with OpenPLi, we have patched opkg to avoid the problems relating to updates with large numbers of files. I've just updated the picons on my Duo 4K, took 21 seconds.

On 7.1 and Ultimo 4K, it takes about 2-3 (?) mins to upgrade picons only for me.

Started stopwatch now to test: From pressing OK to upgrade until picture is back, 7.15 mins.

It takes 6.30 until it starts installing the downloaded picons.

As I said in another topic, I have 500/500 fiber, and picons stored in flash.

It's when I upgrade this happens

As I said in another topic, I have 500/500 fiber, and picons stored in flash.

Our servers can't deliver at 500Mbps

It is NOT when I install them that is the issue now. It's when I upgrade OpenPLI it takes forever now.

Like so:

root@galaxy4k:~# time opkg download enigma2-plugin-picons-snp-full.220x132-220x132.light.on.transparent

so less than a second for the download, and about 20 seconds for the install in flash.

It is NOT when I install them that is the issue now. It's when I upgrade OpenPLI it takes forever now.

What is the difference? That does exactly the same.

To be precise, it does a

opkg list-upgradable

to see if there are packages to upgrade, and if so, it will loop over the list, doing a

opkg upgrade <package>

for each of them.

What I can see in the logs, for nor50's IP:

no idea why download three different picon packages? I can imagine this will make the local picon directory a bit of a mess?

edit: I've added "total response time" and "upstream request time" logging to the CDN logs, so next time we can see exactly how long it took to download.
