  • it means the plugin was built for a python version that your box does not support.


    eg Plugin could be built using python version 2.7 but your box only supports 2.6 version


    You could look for a plugin using a different python version or update your image in your box to a newer version (if it supports the python version)

  • thanks for the quick reply.
    before we go any further i have to tell you i know pretty much nothing about these kits and am learning as i go along so basically what you are saying is that it just wont do on my machine.
    ok so i was trying to load the icefilm plugin. i have a vu+solo clone.
    now for the technical stuff i could not honestly tell you other than the fact that it is on openpli and enigma 2, other than that i am pretty useless....
    any ideas could this work on my box ?

  • hmmm..... yeah, i had already read all them pages and am hearing the words vix, ipk, vti, ect.... so i am lost :baffle:
    any further help would be greatly appreciated

    vix,vti are team images , you are using openpli so you should have no problem to install the plugin..

  • ok so now i have made a c*#t of the whole thing :angry:


    i went to ftp the said folder into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions and yet again nothing..... so i removed it.
    but now there are a load of option thingy's missing from my plugin menu in the menu on the box......

    Did you delete the Extensions folder itself????


    If so i think you deleted all the plugins/extensions on your box!


    You may need to re-flash image
