please can you help me or anyone how install ondemand i know how to ftp installed ondemand from this site but cant get 4od working cant se it

bbciplayer rte 3player and itviplayer working fine just 4od i cant se it on the menu what can be the problem

sorry buddy but this is not a support thread, this is simply a thread where i post updates and test files for the OE-Alliance OnDemand player. if you need help or support especially for the modified or so called DeViXed versions of this plugin you need to post in the correct threads, and not in this one.

so to absolutely clear this up this is with ViX 3.0-362 on a totally virgin setup ??. if it's another build please state that as it's important that we know all of the details accurately to be able to offer help.

so this is with a Virgin image, not a backup or with any settings restored what so ever ?.

well thats a very very old image now, unless you have a specific reason to want to stay on such a old ( and obsolete, no longer supported or updated ) image, why not try the latest 3.0-632 image ?.

Which build dd you install ?.

started again strait after uploading the virgin image or after uploading plugins etc ??.

Basically the more information you can supply about your setup the better. ( and those crash logs would be best ).

Firstly, pull out any devices, USB sticks, external drives etc, and the ethernet cable - then do another boot, and see if that does the job. If not, you can try to log in to the receiver via winscp and grab a recent backup (take it you back up your image every now and again? If not it is good practice to do so!) - if you can log in, then at least you can save some of your configs, and reflash with the latest image.

more importantly if he can log in via a FTP session try retrieving some of the crash logs generated by this crash loop, these are a invaluable tool for us to help in diagnosing and fixing issues. another good practice i'd recommend is setting image / settings backup's and all debug and crash logs to a USB device that way if things do go wrong like in this case you wont loose the valuable logs and backups.

Quote from Ten Below

you will be surprised at just how good some of the lesser known images are.

I would agree with that, too many people are hung up with the big 3, BH, ViX, Pli and tend to forget that there are literally dozens of other images out there.

i had a good play around with 10 or so images the other day on mu uno while testing the OE-A OnDemand plugin on them and i was very pleased with some of the images on offer. such as italysat, AAF, Sif and a few others ( most of which are OE-Alliance members ). now dont Get me wrong you could cut me open and you will see ViX running rite through me like a stick of rock but it's always nice to have a choice and the choice at hand is very nice indeed.

Just a update with the current updated and full changelog.

-[onDemand] A complete rewrite of the threeplayer.py plugin
-A total rewrite of the threeplayer.py file to bring it in line with the format of the other onDemand plugins. New method to parse the html using lxml so a new dependancy for this to be installed also.

-[OnDemand] fix translation code. this import IS required.
-[onDemand] Fix Tabing issues

-[onDemand] Added judge's update for plugin.py
-[onDemand] Fix threeplayer.py skipping shows
-When pulling the media data I was looking for div's that had and id = "gridshow" instead of an id containing "gridshow". This resulted in every 5th show getting dropped (Good spot Sean)

Quote from rigrat1

hi there iv tryed the above but still mainly now and next only showwing in epg window is there a worlking epg like the one on the latest commando image from radio times?

To be honest i have always used CrossEPG with the OpenTV sources for 28.2 east on my receivers ( 6 boxes over two year's ) and it has not once failed me.

Personally i use the TM2600 which also has full metal gearing, it is very reliable and never let me down at all. never used the dark motor my self.

kill enigma with the init 4 command via a telnet session, then FTP into the receiver and delete the EPG.dat file, then restart enigma with the init 3 command. once it restarts download the EPG again.

Pheonix I was only teasing I understood why I read all the info on wos I was having a laugh mate

Btw when is wos back up?

I understand that but we really had no choice in the matter, remove the plugin or face the consequences.

as for WoS another day or so, just doing some long over due server maintenance.

Quote from sparky

Thank you it was never a problem until they got all "we don't support piracy" on us lol,if they only gave us the choice to decide for ourselves :-(

if your referring to why it was taken out of the ViX feeds, its because we received a take down notice, it still works as it ever did but for legal reasons we CAN NOT host it on our server.

Quote from loonytoon

yeh managed to set the epg up now...when i install catseye list will it overwrite the vix list or run along side it?

any channel list or bouquet you load to the receiver will always overwrite the one already on the receiver, if you use ABM however it will not touch any preexisting bouquet on the receiver but create its own to go alongside the other. handy when using motorized bouquets like the Vhannibal packs.

you can use bus powered drives but they are a lot of draw on the receivers psu, so best to use powered drives.

Quote from mrgmx

Second this spent 3 hours last night thinking WTF without reading forum lol!

TSPanel and New Vix = Computer Says No! and HDD disappears lol!

Make use of the Ipks on the forum and Manual Install or use the Image Plugins Panel = SIMPLES

Thats actually a more common occurrence than you'd think, the natural instinct being to blame the image. We spent a lot of time trying to track down such issues both as reported by the BETA testers and users before we realized the culprit was the TSpanel.

personally i have all of my most used plugins on my NAS where i know there in easy reach, any thing else is easy enough to source.

Quote from vanginger

Bad Magic NUmber!! That was the error message! FOund it in my history!

Def will be an original Vu!! Solo 2.. will see!!

Thank you!

Thats just telling you that the plugin you were trying to use was the wrong python version. It's common when using some older plugins but nothing to worry about, I would say this however and i know people will say i'm repeating my self because i am, but i would stay away from TSpanel with the ViX image or any other image based on either Pli or the OE-Alliance as it is known to cause issues with timeshift and network / usb mounts plus more.
