    Install the new version 1.71 of the plugin with these changes.

    Go to the Vavoo configuration menu and increase the Proxy startup timeout (e.g., to 60 or 90 seconds).

    Restart Enigma2 or reopen the plugin.


    • Proxy startup timeout (seconds)
    • Increase if proxy takes long due to VPN or slow connection.

    Unfortunately, the problem remains the same with the new version (1.71)

    DNS box and DNS out must be the same ( 1.1.1.1 ). Check again your network settings in image. If you use , untick IPv6 .


    What is this DNS box address ?

    Increase timeout ..

    BEFORE

    The user is experiencing a problem with the Vavoo plugin. When a VPN connection is active, it hangs on "checking proxy..." and then restarts Enigma2. Analyzing the logs he sent, it appears that the local proxy (http://127.0.0.1:4323) isn't responding immediately because it's still loading the channel catalog (over 9,500 channels), and the VPN is further slowing down requests to the Vavoo servers (vavoo.to, lokke.app).


    After 60 seconds, the plugin's watchdog thinks the proxy is dead and attempts to restart, but the proxy is actually still working. This causes conflicts, and Enigma2 eventually crashes or restarts.


    NOW

    Please read carefully what I wrote in the release release; you should use the plugin menu and increase the timeout.

    In the log, the user set proxy_startup_timeout to 30 seconds (it says "waiting up to 30 seconds..."), but loading the catalog takes longer than 60 seconds. Therefore, the value should be increased to 120 seconds or more.



    The problem you're experiencing—the plugin gets stuck on "checking proxy..." and then restarts Enigma2—is because the VPN connection significantly slows down the HTTP requests the internal proxy (http://127.0.0.1:4323) must make to the Vavoo servers (vavoo.to, lokke.app) to download the channel catalog (over 9,500 channels). The proxy needs more time to complete this operation, but the plugin's internal timers (watchdog, waiting for response) start running first and assume the proxy is dead, attempting a restart that ultimately crashes Enigma2.


    What has already been improved in version 1.71

    A configurable Proxy startup timeout (seconds) option has been added (default 30, max 120) that controls how long the plugin waits for the proxy to become operational before declaring failure.


    The watchdog (which checks every 60 seconds to see if the proxy is alive) now also checks for the presence of the /tmp/vavoo_proxy_booting file and doesn't attempt a restart if the proxy is still booting.


    Why isn't it still working for you?

    Analyzing your log, I see that:

    The proxy starts at 1:30:50 PM and begins loading the catalog (fetching page 1...).

    After 60 seconds (1:31:50 PM), the main plugin still loads the country list from the original source (fallback), and the watchdog fires (1:31:51 PM) because the proxy is still not responding.

    The proxy had just finished the first page (1:31:51 PM), but obviously it's not ready yet.

    A restart is attempted, but the proxy responds "Another proxy is booting," and the situation gets complicated.


    The critical point: loading the full catalog takes more than 60 seconds (perhaps even 2-3 minutes) on your VPN connection.

    The watchdog goes off too early.


    EXCEPT...
    don't use vpn ..

    try and feedback.. but i don't have solution for your problem
    -I don't have line iptv
    -i don't have vpn
    -i don't have nothing, I can only use the little time I have left to read you

    this : increase timeout 90 to call and 300 i to config (default 120)

    try.. but .. not resolve..
    change server vpn.. is slow for vavoo

    • Official Post

    use 1.69 .. heheeh


    The box was very slow, I got a lot of messages about it.

    If you want to continue, update, otherwise keep your version.


    Best regards

    I would like to continue, but the issue described in post #45 is still there.

    Have you read the logfile in post #45? Why ist the logfile so short and your plugin stops writing in the logfile?


    Another issue :

    I configured "ENABLE EPG " as complete disabled.

    But in the /etc/enigma2/ folder I find the 2 json files vavoo_epg_unmatched_cache.json and vavoo_epg_cache.json .

    Why?

    Your plugin ignores the "ENABLE EPG" disabled?

    If I disabled the EPG function, I do not need those 2 files.

    Can someone please tell me the last working version for py2.7.18 on Openpli 8.3.?

    I have been using version 1.47 which has been working fine until a couple of days ago.

    I now get Error loading data message and no channels open.

    Same after exiting app,starting again, and reboots etc.

    Maybe an easy fix?

    Have tried versions 1.52 upwards and they all fail to install the plugin.
