Good days dear admin.

I installed openpli-python3-vuduo4k-20220306,to day image on my Vu Duo4K device, there is sound, no image.Again.Thank you every body.

 

Please describe precisely your problem which channel are you watching with sound and no image?  My guess is that it is IPTV channels and not DVB ones.

 

Moreover python3 is intended to be flashed and used for daily usage, so I recommend that you flash the 8.1 stable (or the develop image but yet not the python3).

 

 

Thank you for the response. I know that the version is for testing and not a stable version, the software is already offered as test software.I'm just sharing what I've experienced during development to contribute to the situation.
Now, I'm not talking about the IP TV part. Satellite broadcasts do not show any resolution that I have tried. There is sound but no image. Thank you again.

Why this never happen till now ?

the only option to boot into another image is to unplug the box during the reboot loop & plug it back.

the box will boot into the desired image.
here are the pics, as there is no crash log:

Flash image must be different /py2 

During flash partition there are number of files which are shared and used .

You are mixing up people using OpenMultiboot where indeed files are shared between images and that's always lead to problem (like on VU+ boxes) and people using box which support true Mutlboot without any interaction between images, each one have its own kernel.

 

Switching between OpenPLi develop (python 2) and OpenPLi python was working on true Multiboot capable STB (Gigablue Trio 4K, ABCom Pulse 4K,...) and now it is no longer working, we are stuck on the OpenPLi python 3 image.

It could only be that somehow the startup file is not changed in the ‘multiboot’ partition….

[Beeker]

Tested with Uclan4Kpro

 

With python3 image I can jump from slot 1 to slot 2, 3 and 4 and back. Even from and to OpenATV 6.4 (both with GUI E2).

 

Only OpenPLi 8.1 is problem. No way to install multiboot image.

First it seems to going well.Updating ...Image unzip ...multiboot.zip blabla.

But when finished..no 8.1 in selector.

Reboot works fine here.

Probably related to multiboot problem.

[DJWeed]

Hi,

 

Encouraged by your reassurance that it works properly on clean software, I uploaded clean software and indeed the option "reboot" works properly. 

 

Regards.

nodejs is not (yet) available in python3 image (it is in python2).

[DJWeed]

Previously when used the command above there was possible to install Mediaportal-py3. What happened in few days?

Nodejs is removed from feed since September, 2021.

I'll reinstate it.

Mediaportal has added nodejs as dependency apparently.

 

Kodi: Still big problem.

Mediaportal an depends...
I activated "perl" as a nodejs replacement for a long time.
It works perfect.
In addition, you save a lot of resources when building your image.
I reversed that with the commit because the really complex qt webkit obviously queries nodejs several times as a depend.

Kodi 20
I have no more ideas, sorry.
I will continue to update the patches.
Andrea Adami(Git) AA has little time, wants to watch it.
Maybe he needs to get access to this area?

[WanWizard]

How is perl a replacement for nodejs? Or do you mean exclusively for mediaportal?

How is that ever going to work? That is not valid syntax. Even if it is in a "PY2" block, it still has to be valid Py3 syntax or it will crash in Py3.

Python 3.10.2 (main, Jan 13 2022, 19:06:22) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> import six
>>>
>>> if six.PY2:
...     exec "1+1"
  File "<stdin>", line 2
    exec "1+1"
    ^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'. Did you mean exec(...)?
>>>

Just add the parenthesis, not the if block:

# Python 2 only:
exec 'x = 10'

# Python 2 and 3:
exec('x = 10')

Works fine in python2:

Python 2.7.16 (v2.7.16:413a49145e, Mar  4 2019, 01:37:19) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> exec("1+1")
>>>

Your code is doing the same as this:

import six
if six.PY2:
	print "xyz"
else:
	print("xyz")

And will end up like this:

root@vuultimo4k:/tmp# python v.py
  File "/var/volatile/tmp/v.py", line 3
    print "xyz"
    ^^^^^^^^^^^

I had undone it again due to occasional build errors related to qthbbtv.
In principle, however, perl is completely sufficient. Nodejs is way too big.
I would like to re-enable perl.

Whether we want to use qthbbtv is another question anyway.

Yes it's not a regular crash. My fault.

If it is no problem for Mediaportal, feel free to restore perl bbappend and revert my nodejs commit.
