Unfortunately , Webmedia1 has decided that there will be no more public updates. Also the official github website

no longer works ( Page not found , error 404 ). But maybe is something with server ?. I hope that not will be the same "story"

as with SSS. Pity.

Its "Ground Hog Day".

I saw the other day that Webmedia1 had complained about people sharing his fixes etc without the "proper" thanks/credit but to be honest is this not what a "community" does, they share things and everyone knows that the fixes are either mario or Webmedia1 or some from yourself, so I dont see why its such an issue.

Totally agree. Toys out the pram again

If changes are committed to gitlab/github then it's set in stone and no-one can argue about who made whatever change. The "credit" is there for all to see in the number of commits that user has made.

It's why I think users should be directed to gitlab/github for downloads rather than encouraging fragementation across various forums. I've made code changes in the past but I've largely given up because there's no central repo and no consolidation - I'd have been pretty pissed off if I'd contributed to webmedia's repo and he did this.

When you make fixes, you're in effect helping to keep the plugin alive - encouraging others to make further fixes themselves. Then in future, you'll get the benefit of their changes. Everyone wins.

I was always supsicious of the obsfucated code in the webmedia repo and no clear reason was given for it.

where I found E2iplayer log?

You need to enable logging first.

• From the main screen, scroll down and select Configuration icon.
• Scroll down near the end of the list to find "Debug logs"
• Default is "no", change to "Yes, to file /hdd/iptv.dbg"

and as it says you'll find the log file at /hdd/iptv.dbg

Beware, the logging is dreadful. No timestamps I've no idea why Python's built-in logging library isn't being used. Anyone know?

Webmedia1 I was having a look at the code in hostupdatehosts.py - why is some of it obfuscated?

eg, this is setting self.TEMP to '/tmp'

Code

self.TEMP = zlib.decompress(base64.b64decode('eJzTL8ktAAADZgGB'))

Just curious :thumbup:

Can anyone else explain why some of the strings in the Blindspot repo code are obfuscated as above?

Is there no ipk i can just put into the temp folder?

If not when unzipped do i just replace iptv folder?

Also What is the difference with the hungarian one ?

I am in the uk.

Sorry for all the questions but i just want to make sure i do it right.

Thanks for your help

Both of the links I posted allow you to download an ipk file for the Blindspot76 version.

c383053f6747c4fb428bcf69.png

This is supposed to be one of the most up-to-date forks of the original e2iplayer. It'll have fixes for some sites, and additional Hungarian ones.

But so you're aware, a lot of stuff will still be broken.

This link has an intall script for an older version (click the button under "Advance" to show) - http://iptvplayer.vline.pl/install.html - hopefully you can work it out from this.

Different people have there versions, Mario or Webmedia1 for example, I would say, by looking at the updates on the repo's that Webmedia1 version would be the most up-to-date version and probably the 1 most people should go for.

Unless those still working on e2i all want to band together to support 1 version only, and why should they, people will just have to choose from what is available, to many people want everything done for them so they have to put no effort into anything, that is what started all the issues with SSS.

I get your point. I think most people who work on this, do it for themselves but publish for the benefit of other people. Ideally there would be lots of devs contributing, but how do you attract them? If much of it is broken, people are put off. If a new user has trouble getting it installed and working out where the latest versions of everything are - what hope of them transitioning to making contributions as a developer?

Quote from soussss

hi all

can we have at some point on this forum some uptodate e2player ipk or dep file with a quick info about the new update rather than keep changing it direct in the libs or other file locations because sometimes it messes the whole plugin specially this one which is the most used plugin on enigma boxes. and i think with this it will stop a lots of unecessary threads that just keep piling up on here at the same time it will be a big help for a lots of guys that do want make a good use of the boxes.

thanks

Totally agree.

I don't know which repo is the most up-to-date? Either zadmario or Webmedia1? maxbambi appears to have stopped updating.

https://gitlab.com/zadmario/e2…/-/tree/master/IPTVPlayer

https://github.com/Blindspot76/e2iPlayer

All changes should be made via commits or merge requests to one of these repos in my opinion.

I'm not sure if e2iplayer's update mechanism can pull updates via github rather than gitlab - anyone tried? It should be fairly easy to add new update sources and then there would be no need for downloading ipk (after first install) and no problem with mis-matching files.

I delete urlperser.py and urlperer.pyo, then put your urlparser.py, restarted the box and got the following message:

Some Plugins Are Not Available> Extensions / IPTVPlayer (Cannot Import Name Recaptcha_v3)

My box is ZGEMMA H7, Open PLi Image, and I installed this e2player:

TS-E2iplayer

This is the problem with sharing individual files via forum attachments - often they have a dependency on other files, so if you're not starting from the same base, it'll be hard to get it working. :crying:

Maybe you have to trawl back through this thread and pick up all of the individual files posted by Panda555... and apply them in the correct order.

I need the following ffmpeg version for my dreambox..."ffmpeg3.4.2_mipsel_fpu_hard_openssl0.9.8_dash_librtmp_native_rtmp.tar.gz"

However, via zadmario this file is not available.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

ffinstall.py checks the openssl version first and uses this to workout the correct ffmpeg package. Yours is 0.9.8.

For later versions the full link (via zadmario) looks like this:

http://zadmario.gitlab.io/prec…ibrtmp_native_rtmp.tar.gz

Unfortunately the the openssl0.9.8 link isn't found. The original was via SamSamSam's page and is also not found.

A solution might be to try to update your openssl version to 1.0.2 first and then retry ffinstall.py.

Otherwise raise an issue with zadmario on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/zadmario/e2iplayer/-/issues. Maybe he'll have an archive somewhere.

Panda555, you're doing lots of great work here, but why don't you fork the zadmario repo and commit there?

You could submit merge requests to zadmario.

Another option would be for users here to edit the updates list file to add your repo.

ie

config.plugins.iptvplayer.gitlab_repo setting in

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/IPTVPlayer/components/iptvconfigmenu.py

Just an idea to make everything easier.:thumbup:

For me personally, I prefer it when updated/fixed files are posted, that way I can make up a "version" that I want from all the available versions out there.

That sounds like you're effectively maintaining your own fork, comparing files, keeping old versions, etc. I doubt many are doing this.

Would it not be easier for you to track via the commits page? eg: https://gitlab.com/zadmario/e2iplayer/-/commits/master

You could still post in the thread that a fix has been made to xyz-host but do the work as a git commit. You can then share the link to the updated file(s) in gitlab along with the commit link (showing all files changed with all their changes) or just the commit history link where you can find all that info.

git gives each file its own history too, which is invaluable for tracking changes.

What update server is best to use at the moment? No updates via maxbambi since July :(

I think E2iplayer has been replaced by TS-E2iplayer:83:

:( I really don't like all these different versions floating around - why can't everyone just work together on a single gitlab/github repository?

How does TS-E2iplayer compare to E2iplayer? Why does it have a different name?

Info on the TS-E2iplayer thread suggests it's based on the maxbambi E2iplayer repo anyway.

Please ignore above. It looks like it's a genuine problem with these domains.

EDIT: Please ignore below. It looks like a genuine problem with these domains.

Can anyone help with this error? Various hosts are reporting this on my box.

SSL_connect failed with error -341: record layer length error

I wonder if an updated version of PyCurl is required? This is what's currently installed:

PycURL/7.43.0.2 libcurl/7.61.0 wolfSSL/3.15.3 zlib/1.2.11

Quote from Panda555

I added hostings which missing. Now work Xstreamcdn mirror. For others I will ask Max for fix. But, for now is enough these

four mirrors which works. Replace urlparser in libs folder.

Thanks for the work Panda555 . If you haven't already, you should fork MaxBambi's repo and submit merge requests to get them into his. :thumbup:

Quote from gorski

Shame... Let's hope it can be overcome, in a blind mode...

Do you know if any logs are or can be created for the flashing process?

Actually I've just found the source the additional updates which aren't in the main repo:

https://gitlab.com/iptv-host-xxx/iptv-host-xxx

They're only developing a single hosts file. I don't know who is combining this with the main repo to produce the ipk. The additional updates aren't in the later ipk posted by enigma1969.

PurE2 looks nice, wonder if it could work on a Formuler F1...

e2iplayer isn't listed in the PURE2-Team public repo on github.

Might be better to ask on their forum.

The first public posting of the updated ipk according to google was on this forum by egj_soldier - link.

enigma1969 also posted a new ipk on that thread. That ipk references a github commit (e608870) which leads to this project on github: OpenVisionE2/e2iplayer-for-e2, but the commits their seem to mirror those in the main gitlab repo and don't include pr0n.
