Hi Betacentauri,
Yes, talking about this procedure

void cXineLib::set_zoom_settings(int x, int y)
{
xine_set_param(stream, XINE_PARAM_VO_ZOOM_X, x);
xine_set_param(stream, XINE_PARAM_VO_ZOOM_Y, y);
}

doesn't work. Right?

That's right, with xine-lib 1.2 I do not work

You can test it
Settings - System - Audio / Video
And choose - View as 4:3 --- Zoom
X - 130, Y - 120
and View as 16:9 --- Zoom
X-103, Y -103
The image is stretched in these settings

@Raider05,

I just do some more test with OScam and vdpau driver, so I build today OScam version (6323) and it seems to work just fine, the previous version that I was using (6260) have indeed some problems but only with vdpau driver.

Thanks for your help, but yes I had placed the files in the proper places.

I´ve used dreamboxedit and bouquet editor suite to come up with a list of channels and bouquets
But it does not seem to work, gives an error on SID or PAT

any ideas what went wrong?

Hi,

Do you change the destination path in Dreamboxedit?
OpenpliPC is not using the same path as Enigma2.

lamedb and your favorite should be placed there: /usr/local/e2/etc/enigma2
you satellite.xml should be place there: /usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox

Skin are placed there: /usr/local/e2/share/enigma2
And fonts for skin: /usr/local/e2/share/fonts

Morevover you need to be root (sudo) to place file in those folders.

Hi together,

let's switch in mind to a normal stb for a second:
I have in mind that you need a running webinterface to get dreamboxedit working. Is that right?

Let's switch back to openpliPC:
So as long you don't have a webinterface, dreamboxedit won't work. I don't have installed a webinterface. I think nobody9 had it, because he was
very active in developing the new webinterface. Unfortunately he didn't show up the last weeks.
Is there somebody with a running webinterface on openpliPC?

Is there somebody with a running webinterface on openpliPC?

Simple answer. Yes, me
A few seconds ago I found this:
Execute

build_openpwebif.sh

in openpliPC directory.
Then start E2 and you use a normal webbrowser to see webinterface (URL: http://localhost/)

@casacristo: Please try then (with running E2) to use dreamboxedit.

[Pr2]

Hi,

No Dreamboxedit doesn't need the webinterface, what it needs is telnet and FTP access.
So people needs to enable this on their Linux PC, but personally I don't use it, since I am doing many test I have just locally on the PC a backup of my channel list and settings that I restore with a simple script after each build.

Pr2

[betacentauri]

Hi Pr2,

I found some posts (only in german) which say that the webinterface is necessary (some say without it won't run, others say it is only needed for E2 restart after upload of the new settings)....
Nevertheless we/I have learned how to install the new webinterface

Hi,

some new patches (only OSD branch):[list]
[*]OpenGL driver: OSD aspect ratio wasn't correct
[*]OpenGL and XSHM driver: Some skins show scaled video in a small window (e.g. openpli HD skin). This is now also possible with these 2 drivers. For xshm the result is not 100% perfect. Sometimes the background shimmers through (at right side or at bottom). I tried to fix it, but I didn't find a solution (it might be a scaling/rounding problem).

Hi,

There is a bug when you change the openpliPC destination path: nim_sockets is still searched on the default location (/usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox/nim_sockets)

If you define another destination path for your OpenpliPC destination (by setting it into the build_openpliPC.sh script parameter: INSTALL_E2DIR) the openpliPC is still looking for nim_sockets file into /usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox folder instead of searching for it in the mentionned path in the build_openpliPC.sh (INSTALL_E2DIR).

Pr2

[betacentauri]

Hi Pr2,

the path is hardcoded in the sources many times (first count approx 100 times) So it will take some time to change it.

Changing it in C++ shouldn't be a problem for me, but I have never worked with Python before. So if there is somebody
who can help with it, it would be great.

Hi Raider05,

sorry, I wasn't able to reproduce it yet. The problem is that zooming is not possible(not implemented) with XSHM and OpenGL driver. And I cannot use the vdpau driver because I don't have a nvidia card.
I have compared vdpau source between the branches -> no difference
I have compared some other files which are also involved -> no difference
I have checked whether the zoom parameters were passed to vdpau driver -> yes, 130,120 or 103,103 were passed to driver

Can you please switch to a channel where zooming doesn't work. Then please restart E2 and wait some seconds. Then stop E2 and post log(please without channel switch). Perhaps I can see something in the log.

Betacentauri

Hello,

can please somebody help me with python:
This is a line from NimManager.py:

open("/usr/local/e2/etc/stb/frontend/%d/rf_switch" % self.frontend_id, "w").write("internal")

If wanna use eEnv.resolve for the path.
This this correct?

open(eEnv.resolve("${sysconfdir}/stb/frontend/%d/rf_switch") % self.frontend_id, "w").write("internal")

Or is this correct?

open(eEnv.resolve("${sysconfdir}/stb/frontend/%d/rf_switch" % self.frontend_id ), "w").write("internal")

Regards

[Pr2]

Hi,

If I was you I would test this:

Add at the beginning of the python file the following import:

import os

The change the line

open("/usr/local/e2/etc/stb/frontend/%d/rf_switch" % self.frontend_id, "w").write("internal")

With this one:

open(os.getenv('sysconfdir',"/usr/local/e2") + "/stb/frontend/%d/rf_switch" % self.frontend_id, "w").write("internal")

Be carefull that 'sysconfdir' is case sensitive. Be also carefull if you set or not the final / in the end of the value set into 'sysconfdir' because I don't know how it will react in case of double //. To be clear I don't know if /usr/local/e2//stb/frontend... will work so it is perhaps better to avoid the ending / when you set the variable.


os.getenv will return the value of sysconfdir if the variable exist but will return "/usr/local/e2" if it doesn't exist, so this should not break the OpenpliPC working if the variable is not set.

You also have os.putenv if you want to set environment variable from within python.

Source: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html
Hope it will work.

Hi Pr2,

thanks for the answer!!
I don't want to read a OS system variable. eEnv.resolve is a C++ function which revolves the given variable. The only question is which python syntax is correct. Well, it seems that both are correct.

Betacentauri

[Pr2]

Hi,

I think that you cannot mix up C language and Python, since I think that Python code is not passed in the compiler, it is build when you start OpenpliPC.

With the proposed solution, people don't really need to define the environment variable since if doesn't exist it will automatically return the default value define as second parameter.
So this will fit most of the end-user needs, and we can always document that we need to set an environment variable when we change the default path.

Moreover with python os.putenv it is also possible to define the environment variable at run time but we need to find a way to generate it, but this is not a "must have" I think.

Hi Pr2,

"Enigma2 is based on the python with a backend written in C++". And you can write a plugin in python which can call C++ functions in the C++ part.

Hi,

I think that the easiest and more universal solution is to change the absolute path to access the file into relative path.

Hi Raider05,

thanks for the logs and first analysis. Now I found some differences between old xine lib and new one. Attached is a zip containing 4 files. Please unzip it and put the files in this directory:
openpliPC/xine-lib/src/video_dec/libvdpau/ (replace existing files!!).
Recompile everything. Problem should be fixed.
Please report whether it helped or not.

Betacentauri

Hi Betacentauri and thank.

It works now zooming for MPEG-4 , MPEG2 not works.
Must be changed file vdpau_mpeg12.c ?
