Plugins

[Costactc]

I'd like to add Tsmedia and kodi but nor quite sure how to do that. Do I extract to usb and flash or do I use filezilla? If filezilla is used where do I send the plugins?

[el bandido]

The plugins that you are looking for may be in the feeds. The feed(s) is another name for a database of information that is maintained by OpenVix or another team. Look for your plugins in the plugin menu of the receiver. Press the green remote button while in the plugin menu and then wait a few minutes for the information to load and populate. The plugins you are looking for should be in "extensions". The full Kodi plugin should already be installed in your OpenVix image using the Solo2.

Thanks EB, I found both:

I have mine set up on wifi and it works fine with Filezilla and dreamset but when i try to download plugins it says no network.

[el bandido]

Look and see if it says no network and no internet connection.

[eastof111]

Might also try restarting the network, sometimes that clears up any glitches.

No we went with a slightly different route, we chose not to bog the image down with another hefty plugin by Vu+ (same as with their HbbTv plugin), but rather allow users to install it by them selves if thats what they wanted, the XBMC plugin by Vu+ is available in the image feeds for those boxes that support it. (Vu+ SoloSE, Solo2 and Duo2).

The plugin is simply called XBMC dont confuse it with the XBMC launcher as thats a different plugin from a different author.

Thanks PR, where would I find it and how should I install it? The version I have works well but I am having unresponsive issues with Tsmedia.

[Pale-Rider]

It's in the plugin feeds for your solo2 but I am currently at work and I cant remember the exact path at the moment.

[Costactc]

No rush my friend just starting to learn how to use this awesome box.

[rodder]

Just says no network access

[rodder]

i restarted the network that didn't work.

[Costactc]

I had wifi setup issues with my zero as well. Insert wifi antenna and hard boot ethernet cable as well. Go to plugins, make sure your ethernet cable has been inserted, green button then drivers-you should see the driver that needs to be installed for your usb wifi. Go back after that to network and see if it is an option. Don't forget to test the network with your wifi only, remove ethernet cable.

Thanks costactc but wifi is working great as for as using Filezilla and Dreamset just gives me the no network when i try to download plugins.

[Costactc]

That's odd. I am setting up my wifi here. Can you connect with your receiver, type in its ip addy and see.

[el bandido]

Is the receiver connected to the internet? Have you verified this?

[rodder]

Yes i ran a test on the receiver

[el bandido]

Post a screenshot of the error you are getting. Type the ip of the box into a web browser on a network computer. Select grab screenshot under box control, and right click on the screen image you want to save. Doing this will allow us to see the error.

[rodder]

this is what i get

[el bandido]

You probably have an ip conflict somewhere. How is the network connected to the receiver? Are you using a static ip for the receiver or DHCP?

[rodder]

DHCP

[el bandido]

Have you performed a network test using the receiver Have you selected one connection, either WLAN or LAN and Not both?? Is the link light Green? Have you verified that the ip assigned to the box is a valid ip for the network? I have seen many devices have an invalid ip assigned using DHCP by the network. For example, 192.168.1.1 when it should actually be 192.168.0.1

11403 11404 11405

[rodder]

I have checked all of that and did the test on the receiver still not working

[eastof111]

Since you're using DHCP, for the heck of it, try assigning the box a static ip address, then reboot your modem and router and then your receiver and see if that cures the problem.

[el bandido]

You had 5 green lights for the internet/network test, and still got the plugin download error message???

Erase everything and start over.
Backup the image, then download a new image that has never been installed. Set up the internet connection first.

[rodder]

This is the image i was using Openvix Apollo 166 for solo2 is this the correct one

[el bandido]

That will be OK. Backup what you have first, then you can easily restore it.

[rodder]

still getting the same error EB

[el bandido]

Try a different image. Download and install "OpenPLi-4.0-beta-vusolo2-20150412_usb.zip"

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[rodder]

This one is working eb but it has some things i don't like about it channel change it brings up a whole list and the sat positiner stays on all the time when you turn the receiver off. i think i may have found my problem with the vix image so i am going to load it again and see what happens

[el bandido]

You can adjust the things that you do not like and set them to your liking. Remote control buttons can be customized to display what you want within reason.

The OpenVix image has similar features for customizing things to your liking. Get everything working first, then we can look at customizing the image.

[rodder]

i went ahead and reloaded vix for now to see if it had the problem i found for some reason WLAN and LAN are both checked and i can not get Lan unchecked eb i know you told me to check that in post #23 but i missed it somehow

11411

[rodder]

openvix has both WLan and Lan checked dont know if that is the problem are not but when i had openPi on it only had Wlan checked trying to decide which one i want to run the biggest problem with Openpi is i like my sat positiner to turn off when i turn the receiver off.

[el bandido]

You can set the positioner to turn off, but I consider those to be things to look at after the basics have been solved. All of these images can be adjusted or customized to a very wide degree.

Select the network that you want to delete, then set the user interface for that network to No. Save and exit, then reboot.

11412

[rodder]

I turned off the lan network 5 times and rebooted never could get it to turn off. i have loaded OpenPli back on now if i can just get them problems fixed i had with it. how do i load the backup i had on my harddrive

[el bandido]

Two ways to load the backup besides trying to do it with OpenPLi.
1 Reload an OpenVix image and then restore the backup.
2 Use FileZilla. Backup for OpenVix should be in: /media/hdd/imagebackups
Transfer the backup to your computer then load it like a normal image.

[el bandido]

Having the WLAN and the LAN activated can cause an ip conflict.
11416

To fix this, enter the network you want to delete and set the user interface to no.
11417

A prompt will appear asking if you want to activate the network. Select yes.
11418

Exit the menu and verify that the network has been deleted (Red X)
11419

[rodder]

i did that over and over and it never would put a x on Lan for some reason

[rodder]

after about 15 tries i Vix i got the Lan turned off but i am still getting the error message

11420[ATTACH=CONFIG]11421[/ATTACH

[Costactc]

I remember having the same issue with my vu+zero as well. I believe I changed the encryption to Wpa or Wpa2 and my zero connected immediately.

[rodder]

I am having nothing but bad luck with this receiver i finally got where i could cut off lan in vix then i would try to scan in plugins and i would get the error message every time. i have now switched to openpi and tried to down load Ts sat editor and i get this error

11440

[Costactc]

That's odd I flashed Tsmedia and kodi without any issues at all. I will give tseditor a shot later and report back.

[eastof111]

"i have now switched to openpi and tried to down load Ts sat editor and i get this error"

Bad magic number = Mismatch in python versions. Usually corrected by finding an updated version of the plugin. If that's not an option, going back to an earlier image version that uses the correct python version.

[rodder]

That is what i got too.

That error is easy to fix. Delete that plugin and I will get you a TS sat editor that works. But it will need to be installed manually using FileZilla.

[rodder]

Ok thanks

[rodder]

I have TS-satEditor 2.0.0 enigma2 plugin file where do i put it with Filezilla

[el bandido]

Where did you get this file?

[rodder]

world-of-satellite.com

[el bandido]

world-of-satellite.com

It will probably have a Bad Magic Number issue, You can install plugins with .ipk extension in the Solo2 by putting the file on an usb stick, let the receiver play a tv channel, then insert the stick into the receiver and follow the prompts. You may need to put a check mark besides the .ipk file in the prompt window before it will load the .ipk file.

Attached are file folders that came out of my receiver. These files will give you two satellite editors and one pid editor.
These files will need to be installed in System Plugins directory, so make a backup before installing these files. For the Solo2, you will only need to reload the backup image if there is a problem during installation.

Install the satellites.xml file to: etc/tuxbox

Install the 3 folders to: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins

The satellite editors are dependent on the satellites.xml file being in the correct format. The editors will crash if the satellite.xml file is the wrong type, so be careful or pay attention when upgrading. satellites.xml may be changed during an online firmware update or upgrade!

[rodder]

Got it all installed and working great

[el bandido]

Very Good!
Put those files in a safe place, and maybe add some installation notes for them. Any satellites.xml file that I have is based on the satellite editors. Do not download the satellite editors if you see them in plugins because they probably are not exactly the same. If you want to remove one or all of the editors, go back to where you installed them and delete the folder(s). Then reboot.

Pay attention to online updates! These updates may erase and rewrite the satellites.xml in etc/tuxbox. Check this after updating and replace the satellites.xml if needed.
