    Those having issue's, try turning off 3D Surround, Auto Volume Level and Bypass HDMI EDID Check in your A/V settings menu.


    Then try it again.

    Ok that works.


    Thats a real pain though because having the Automatic Volume level set to HDMI is great when using IPTV. Without it the vloume level is all over the place.


    Now the author knows what the issue was perhaps something can be done about it ? And therefore allowing Auto Volume Level to be turned on and set to HDMI

    Not really its taken me ages to get this one just how I want it and the ATV image backup is broken. If anyone tries to do a backup it will succeed, but when you come to flash the backup it fails and the entire flash has then to be repartitioned. Ive reported it but as per usial theyve taken no notice and done nothing to fix it.


    Never mind, Thanks for trying. I guess I will have to do without this plugin if flashing another image is the only way forward.

    Code
    root@vusolo4k:~# gst1.0-ipaudio -en1 alsasink
    Audio Sync using alsasink
    Pipeline state changed from NULL to READY:
    Link succeeded (type 'audio/x-raw').
    Pipeline state changed from READY to PAUSED:
    Pipeline state changed from PAUSED to PLAYING:

    I would think that output is normal then ?


    And therfore like me you do not know whats causing the issue. Do any othe VU+ users have any issues ?

    Still silence after sending asound.conf over.


    Here is the output from the terminal.


    Code
    root@vusolo4k:~# gst1.0-ipaudio -bs1 alsasink
    Audio Sync using alsasink
    Pipeline state changed from NULL to READY:
    root@vusolo4k:~#

    Well I must be thick because I cannot get this to work using Open ATV 6.4.


    Everything has installed correctly but I just get no audio after selecting a Server. I've tried adding my own custom links too but those give the same result. Pressing "green" to reset the audio works and returns the channel to its natural audio, but as stated selecting anything from the options results in silence.

    No you misunderstand me. Scanning frequencies is not needed, but the ability to slightly move the dish East/West to increase the signal strength and then store the new position from within the plugin really is. Moving the dish slightly to get a better signal is after all totally related to signal strength, which is what this plugin is all about.


    No matter if it cannot be added, I just thought I'd ask.

    I can never see the point of these signal finder plugins without having the ability to move the dish to tweak its position ?


    I thought this one might be different as its more advanced than the rest with more features, but alas no, its the same, the dish cannot be moved East/West and the new position giving better signal stored. Its a shame that because this one is a nice plugin and very good work by the author.


    Can the ability to move the dish East/West and the new position stored be added ? The simplest method I supposed would be to enable the plugin to call the positioner setup menu ( See Screenshot ) like it calls upon the signal finder using the blue button. Although it would be far better if this could be incorporated into the acrual plugin itself. Anyway great job, but as stated it would be of far greater use if the feature I mentioned could be added.

    Is this when using the code from BissFeed Autokey in the FeedFinder plugin ?


    Good to know if using that code fixes it.


    For IPTV it most likely needs an exception because no tuner is in use at all.

    This is a brilliant and most useful plugin, however the fact that it crashes the box every time you try to open it when your watching something from a different tuner, such as Cable or Terrestrial or even if your watching something from IPTV from your bouquets is doing my head in. I simply keep forgetting to switch to the dish tuner before opening the plugin.


    This problem really needs addressing. I might try to find time over the Christmas Holiday to try to fix this. Still not sure though exactly how much time, if any I'm going to have off work.

    Yes its a very useful plugin. However after recent OE-A updates it now crashes in ATV 6.4 giving an error message of


    ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '<body'


    I've not looked into this, but in python you can do many things, but you cannot convert a string value not formatted as an integer, meaning you cannot convert a floating-point number in a string to an integer. In addition, you cannot convert letters to an integer (unless you are using letters with a special meaning, like “inf”).


    To overcome this issue I would suggest that the author needs to convert the offending value to a floating point number so it can then be converted to an integer using float () and int () statements.


    There are probably more instances that need converting in the plugin, but I would suggest the author starts with this line in the plugins code.


    satposn = int(self.words[0].split()[0])


    I hope these issues will be addressed soon, because as I stated its a very useful and popular plugin and I would hate to lose it for good. A quick look at the code shows me that in some areas the author does indeed use a float, but not in others. This is strange and I do not know what has recently changed in OE-A images to now cause it to crash, when previously the plugin code got away with it.

    This is a great plugin and most useful but from today this now crashes when its loaded in ATV 6.4 and also I believe in OBH too.


    Crashlog attached.


    I think IanSav has changed something in the way the image interacts with Nim Manger, but its not obvious what he's done so I would be banging my head against a brick wall trying to get them to revert the changes.


    EDIT: Ok further info.


    It only crashes when using my Cable/Terrestrial tuner, if I switch to the Sat tuner first then open it, its OK

    EDIT: I think I've posted this in the wrong thread. The version I have is 1.50

    Just for info I've now fixed this, and the alias.py is now working again. ( For about a week till we lose Vermin )


    Cant believe just how much I've had to fix in the latest ATV 6.4 image. Wish I'd stayed on 6.3 now lol


    EDIT: Looks like ATV have dropped 6.4 now and have started on 6.5 because of all the issues. But I do think I've fixed most if not all of them now though.

    Yes this


    ImportError: No module named crossepg


    I will have to look into it and try to establish what's going on if its working for you. Might not be worth it anyway though if we are to lose Vermin in a week or two.


    I had to install xz into the image to even get CrossEPG to parse Rytec files, not good from a clean image install, I think image builds do differ though from box to box. Curl was missing too as was lxml and mechanize is now a bare bones version on their feeds, just enough to get Mediaportal to work I think, so I also had to source a full version of that too. Then I find that they've actually added code to the httplib.py to trigger a bloody crash if a plugin calls a url using control characters. A typical example is the EPG Translator plugin when it tries to translate Eastern European languages. So I promptly removed that code too.


    I'm not happy with ATV 6.4 at all.



    EDIT: Just ran it from telnet. Same error.


    root@vusolo4k:/usr/crossepg/scripts/virgin# python alias.py

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "alias.py", line 14, in <module>

    import crossepg

    ImportError: No module named crossepg


    This error completely baffles me because CrossEPG is installed and now working on everything else after installing xz

    Is this still working with ATV 6.4 ?


    Seems to be failing in line 14 of the alias.py when trying to import crossepg


    Its very possible that ATV have broken the alias.py because crossepg is no longer recognised by the os


    Will have to try to find time to look, but for me at least using the very latest ATV 6.4 after a clean reflash, this is now broken.
