#1591912 GSOD when going to menu of channel list in latest build (at least with E2OS skin

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 21 december 2023 - 11:12

Sounds we need a different recipe here… at least I think you understand having renderers and converters dedicated in skins should be avoided. Or maybe put them in a different recipe so the others install that extra package?

As the Renderer goes with the logos it should be packaged with the logos. That way downloading the logos makes the Renderer available. And without the logos the Renderer is not needed so should not be embedded in enigma core code.




#1591340 [WIP] PLi-DarkOS Skin

Or maybe first letter capitalized and the rest lower case… at least for parsing SVGs or pngs

The capitalization in OE-A is already set. Abu's point was that doesn't matter if we do comparison against lower.




#1584225 [WIP] PLi-DarkOS Skin

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 28 november 2023 - 16:28

 

Please not! better find a solution (when possible)....Or I'm afraid get rid of svg.... I understand you tried but I know from experience in the past it does not really work for a lot of boxes due to driver/hardware issues. At least I'm convinced... and maybe this is also the reason why the movieplayer icons do not really work. And I agree also blend is a topic here...

 

Can we do some root-cause analysis first, before resorting to drastic measures?

  1. what is exactly causing the issues?
  2. can we fix it?
  3. can we work around it?

Don't start with 3 if 1 and 2 haven't been looked at.

 

 

  1. Blending on HiSi. Nothing to do with svg because that is not used on InfoBar.
  2. Well maybe rewrite c++ to take advantage of any hardware acceleration that may be available.
  3. Switch "blend" to "on" in HiSi boxes. That will speed things up, but will also not render images correctly.
  4. Throw the box in the garbage.



#1576114 Skin: all colour buttons in one widget

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 30 oktober 2023 - 10:59

To simplify skin.xml there is now a patch so all colour buttons (graphics and text) can be created by one single widget once in the whole skin. No need for all those silly templates. Fully automatic. And backwards compatible. Is PLi interested?

#1561270 Enigma 2 freezes "[eFilePushThreadRecorder] thread could not be stopped...

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 23 augustus 2023 - 10:58

 

Here's an enigma with Simon's method of signal handing:

 

attachicon.gif enigma2_3.9+git20839+854d615-r0.0_vuduo4kse.ipk

 

I see another difference, which is that in VIX kill() is always and directly executed on stop(), while we have a timeout look which sends the signal up to 100 times, and doesn't kill if the loop ends before the signal is acted upon.

was away yesterday. DId now install.

 

So I think the next step really should be debugging this. I'd like to ask anyone who has a frozen enigma, to login to the box, start strace on enigma, and check if any thread is blocking on a read(). If that turns out to be difficult, I could add some debugging code to show this.

will do if this happens again
 

 

opkg install strace

So you need to attach strace to the running process that is frozen. To do that you have to start it using the enigma pid.

strace -p `pidof enigma2`

 




#1560570 Enigma 2 freezes "[eFilePushThreadRecorder] thread could not be stopped...

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 20 augustus 2023 - 21:18

But nobody seems to know why? So chances are the root cause isn't fixed, just covered up?

So just for your information the problem with Broadcom and efilepush started here: https://github.com/O... 6575c1d5a985d9 which was useful at least in highlighting other problems with the record threading.

 

Simon confirmed that the recording (and playback) signalling setup didn't work, which leaves the recording thread vulnerable to deadlocks should it ever empty the read buffer. Maybe it worked 5 years ago, but running some tests where he disabled the DMX input into the file used as the source, he observed ::read in eFilePushThreadRecorder::thread() blocking pending some data to read and not responding to SIGUSR1 raised by the main thread.

PR to fix this here: https://github.com/O...nigma2/pull/593

 

If problems like this take 3 years to get looked at properly it is not surprising people that already fixed them elsewhere don't remember the minutiae.




#1541076 Enigma2 and BBC/ITV at 27.5W Intelsat - a big challenge

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 17 mei 2023 - 10:18

Intelsat 901 is very old and completely out of fuel. It was put in graveyard orbit in 2019. Later, an MEV was launched and went and retrieved it and brought it back to geostationary. So now the MEV, not the satellite, is responsible for station keeping. And, in another couple of years it is going to be sent back to the graveyard.




#1534652 Spectrum Analyser

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 23 april 2023 - 15:44

What about eg an rtl-sdr stick…. When eg you ‘tab’ the connection to the LNB…. Which can also be used for dab+

Some USB tuners have spectrum, e.g. TBS5925, but it is not useful because it takes minutes to complete. My spectrum analyser does the sweep several time a second. The whole point of the spectrum is it is fast enough that can be used for aligning dishes in real time.




#1528731 Vu+ 4K Multiboot

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 27 maart 2023 - 22:29

Simply. What do you need the multibot for???

krime mobile [emoji769]

This thread is not about the usefulness of multiboot. That discussion was years ago and PLi decided to include it.




#1527047 elistbox horizontal

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 19 maart 2023 - 10:56

What added value does it really has? That way the menu options string length should be short. Personally I think it is not really practical. It is something that adds code just to add code because it can be done for fun.
This at least for the menu’s… but there might be other places where it can be helpfull…

Please don't concentrate on strings, or menus. e.g this could be used to display a list of icons horizontally.

By the way, have a look at this commit. Works really well.

Just send it to the Python3 branch. If necessary someone can pick the commit into master branch.




#1478768 OpenPLi-py3

Geplaatst door Huevos aan 4 september 2022 - 14:55

When will openPLi transfer from Python 3.9 to Python 3.10.6 ?

That would require updating/changing OpenEmbedded branch.
