And no side effects with normal recordings?

 

Still the patch gives me a "hacky" feeling...

 

And with a normal recording that is not growing when "stepskipping" forward you always see the last 3 seconds of a recording repeated.... WHen correctly programmed we should at least detect somehow if the played recording is still a growing recording...

I did get that message in the (patched) OpenPli as well… And I thought that's OK

 

I tried openATV but it didn't work. First time I updated by error so I thought that's the problem but on the next try I had the same problem. Maybe the .py isn't compatible after all.

I'm going back to ITV for the time being and when there's an OpenPLI for the DUO2 I'll give that a try again

use link in post 31 and flash with usb

works perfectly

That's what I did. But apparently I screwed up something (twice)...

Maybe I'll try later again, for the time being the vu+ is working (recording...)

Do we need to change __evEOF function?

yes

Is this really a problem?

So instead of just falling out of the recording you see the last 3 seconds… so what?

I'd be surprised if it's any different in OE2.0 by the way.

I see it a little bit like sirdir: So what? The user will recognize it and sees that only 3 seconds are left. Why is there a need to seek to eof in a not running recording?
Yes, you can for sure build something better than this very little, easy change...

yes

Why? With my patch you can't reach EOF (I know in rare cases it seems to be possible(driver bug??)), so __EOF shouldn't be called.

Of course I'm not against a perfect solution, it's just a question wether it's worth the effort or not. 

If somebody does it they should send it to DMM so they can't complain nobody is contributing to enigma2

[littlesat]

So what?

That is exactly the reaction that triggers why we should sleep on it... (LOL)

At least I would only recommend to follow the patch when the current played recording is also at that time recorded...

[betacentauri]

No problem.
Is there a simple, at best already implemented solution to find out whether a recording is still running?

[littlesat]

At least in the list it can show a red dot...

[betacentauri]

Right, then it should be possible...

If you think so… I don't have any problem with those 3 seconds. Normally I never intentionally jump to the end of a finished recording (wouldn't see what good that would do ) so I don't see a problem there, or I'm even glad I get the chance to jump back without 'falling out' of it...

[littlesat]

When you usually skip ahead it will go to the next service.....

? That must be a setting I haven't found yet. By the way if you skip to the end with > you get to the end, even with the patch.

[sirdir]

By the way, I tried it again. The InfoBarGenerics.py from OpenPLI does not work on OpenATV - as soon as I replace it enigma2 doesn't load anymore..

 

[InfoBar] Failed to load resumepoints: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/root/resumepoints.pkl'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/mytest.py", line 30, in <module>
    from Screens import InfoBar
  File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/InfoBar.py", line 18, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name InfoBarINFOpanel

I guess that's where it fails.

Anyway, to be honest, I don't really like the look & feel of OpenATV, I like the 'lightness' of OpenPLI.

I guess there will be a version for the Duo2 soon?
