Hello!

 

Openwebif has been updated to version 2.x a while ago and it has a feature that is kind of essential for me.

 

When I try to upgrade to it in the latest OpenPli 9.1, the suggested installation process

## connect to your enigma2 device via SSH/Telnet, (eg. `ssh root@boxip`), then
# change to the temp directory
cd /tmp
# shut down enigma2 gracefully
init 4
# fetch OpenWebif ipk
wget -O openwebif.ipk https://github.com/oe-alliance/OpenWebif/raw/gh-pages/enigma2-plugin-extensions-openwebif_latest_all.ipk
# install downloaded ipk file
opkg install openwebif.ipk
# restart enigma2
init 3

generally works fine but Openwebif doesn't start afterwards and instead I see a No module named "Tools.copyFiles error in the plugin menu.

 

Any help on how to get it up and running would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

You can't simply copy OE-A stuff into OpenPLi and expect it to work.

 

We're working on migration and the compatibility layer to make that version work, which is scheduled for OpenPLi 10.

Thanks for your swift reply! I don't expect anything, I just wanted to figure out if there is a quick way to get 2.x up and running within Openpli. Apparently not...

No, instead of maintaining OpenWebif agnostic of image, they decided to abandon the OpenPlugin version and create a new version (which isn't new at all if you look at the code) which is OE-A specific.

 

Which has forced us to think about a compatibility layer, if we want to continue offering OpenWebif in the image. The first step, BoxInfo, as been introduced in OpenPLi 9.1, but more is needed.
