Today the official Release Candidate of the 9.0 image went public. For those who never tested a Nightly Build before because being afraid then now is the opportunity to test this RC. Any comments / observations we look forward to receiving. And of course all positive comments are also nice to hear.


Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.

Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. ;) :)
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.

Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P 
met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

Thank you very much, the software we have been waiting for a long time has arrived. I think we will have to install this test software via usb memory.

Hello,

 

Upgrade was easy and very good with the flashimage. After reboot, i have reinstall all my plugins and all is perfect. (pluto.tv, rakuten.tv, astra-sm and so on, all is OK).

 

This image will be soon the best of OpenPli... 

 

Thanks a lot to all the team.

Thanks for the new image!

There is an issue with wifi driver in latest nightly and 9.0RC on Vu+ Ultimo 4K. As shown on screenshots, with PLi 8.3 the Bitrate connection is 866.5 Mb/s, but on 9.0RC is just 400 Mb/s. I've noticed this on latest nighties as well. The nightly builds from 3-4 months ago doesn't have this problem. 

 If somebody with same box can check and reconfirm that max speed now is limited to just 400 Mb/s, then might be necessary to switch back to previous driver if this is the issue...

If you have ipk's that you install manually (as in: not from the plugins feed), copy them to the autobackup backup directory, and they will be reinstalled automatically.

 

And don't forget you need pyhton3 versions of those plugins.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Kernel versions haven't changed (no vendor updates their linux kernel), therefore drivers haven't changed. It is possible, if your TP_LINK uses an out-of-tree driver, that there was a new version of that driver. But for that I need to know which driver is in use.

 

Have you tested the throughput?

 

What is shown there is whatever the commandline tools report, which is usually rubbish.

 

This is not unique to the box, Windows does exactly the same. The speed it displays bears no resemblance to the real world, if only because the driver has no idea what else is active (wifi is a shared medium and throttles to the speed of the slowest client).

both tested to my NAS.
 

my Solo has 2.4Ghz connection, the Mutant a 5Ghz connection. I only use 40Mhz bands on 5Ghz, which limits the maximum throughput a bit.

 

As a test I moved everything off the AP the Solo was connected to, that changed the reported bitrate figure, but didn't significantly change the throughput.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The playlist (etc/enigma2/playlist.e2pls) was indeed not in UTF-8 format.

I have deleted it now. Problem solved :)

 

BTW. The playlist which created the problem was in the backup I used.

Why didn’t flash with online flash… as far I know you should be able to select openpli…. Likely the usb stick is not seen by the box. Try an older usb stick?

In python 2, everything is a string of bytes. In Python3, bytes and str are two different types, so if you need to convert, you need to specify a source charset.

both tested to my NAS.
 

my Solo has 2.4Ghz connection, the Mutant a 5Ghz connection. I only use 40Mhz bands on 5Ghz, which limits the maximum throughput a bit.

 

As a test I moved everything off the AP the Solo was connected to, that changed the reported bitrate figure, but didn't significantly change the throughput.

 

Here is my iwconfig output:

root@vuultimo4k:~# iwconfig wlan3

I use 160MHz band on 5GHz. Not sure how to check the throughput, as iperf3 -c with any IP address is giving some error: unable to send control message.
The router webinterface is showing the same speed of 400Mb/s.
Just flashed again the develop image from 11th of April, and the bitrate was back to 866.5Mb/s, so definitely something was changed during the last 3-4 months. When i did online actualization of that image and became up-to date(2023-08-17), the bitrate changed again to 400Mb/s.
Perhaps this is only Ultimo 4K issue, but it will be good if someone else test with different receiver by switching from latest RC/develop and 8.3 or older develop from April.

Excellent

iperf3 -c should work fine on the box, as you can see from my post.

 

Any more info about that error message? Usually it comes with a description of the error that causes it?,

 

I can't comment any further, I need to know the exact driver used for the chipset TPLINK is using. Probably some realtek thing, they are known for their cheap crap...

maybe a silly question:

when being on the develop-image during the way to 8.3, will updating lead to the 9.x or will it stay on 8.3?

It will stay on 8.3 .

Rc9. is py3 .Where as 8.3 is py2

great news that the RC version is out, but I have one question. I tried to install some ipk plugins via software management, but with all of them this window appears and it doesn't disappear

I've got always the same error as above. Tried to reinstall iperf3, but with no avail. Maybe something else is missing? The router is Archer AX73 with Broadcom BCM6750 1.5Ghz Triple-Core CPU.
