TNAP-5-Test Thread

[el bandido]

TNAP-5 should be available as a test image soon, as time permits. TNAP-5 is based on OpenPLI and will contain python 3.9. Previous images of TNAP used a python 2 version which is outdated. Changing to python 3 requires the re-write of many files and some other adjustments. TNAP-5 will have a smaller number of downloadable plugins when compared to previous versions of TNAP, but it is doubtful that many North American users will notice this.

TNAP-5 should support some newer plugins such as Pluto tv. TNAP-5 will also contain some updates in Positioner setup and other places due to file re-writes or file updates. There will be less skins available on TNAP -5 because most of the skins were made using python 2. In a way, the change from python 2 to python 3 is a blessing because we will lose some things that were made years ago that no longer work, but are for some reason, still in the feeds.

TNAP-4.2 will be the last version of python 2. A small amount of updates are still being generated for python 2 images, but this is expected to stop in a short period of time. So we either move forward a bit with TNAP-5, python 3.9, or we don't move at all...

Standing by to try loading TNAP 5. I've nothing to lose. I'm in an RV in the woods and my Edision Mio+ won't start at all now with my TNAP-4.2 loaded which used to work fine. A very hot trip in the car across the country may have been a factor. The Mio+ started initially OK, but venturing into Standby and Deep Standby resulted in it turning off and never coming back. I've been trying to load TNAP-4.1 from USB but the usual method doesn't work. It seems the Mio+ just won't recognize the USB stick.

Carefully Check the power supply. Loading a different image will probably not solve anything. Will be best to start a thread if you need help with it.

Thanks for tip. Output from AC adapter rated at 2 A was +12.12 V no load. Seemed a little low. Tried ham power supply with +13.8 V. Correct polarity. I couldn't resist trying. On Mio+ power on, a tiny puff of smoke came out of Mio+. I suspect I need to find a different hobby for now. We now return thread to TNAP-5.

Open the MIO up by removing its case and check capacitors.

Testing Pluto Tv Bouquet and epg on OpenPli Py3 test image and it is working Pretty well. Pulled the bouquet file from PurE2 Py2 image that Pluto didn't work very well on and have to boot back in to PurE2 slot to update the Pluto epg. Ready tor Tnap5 for the full working Pluto TV now that I know it works with py3.

What are you having to boot back and forth to update? Please upload whatever files you are using. Thanks.

On post 1 your picture number 2 it shows to press green button to create a bouquet. That will create the bouquet at ect/ Enigma2 and download the epg and picons. My epg .dat file is stored on the external hdd so when I boot to PurE2 image and press the green button in the pluto tv plugin epg .dat gets updated and going back to Openpli py3 image it uses the same epg.dat on the hdd. I moved the picons and the pluto.tv bouquet from PurE2 over to Openpl py3i. That is the only files i'm using.

Things seem pretty stable. You may try one of these test images. We need to get the epg for Pluto tv working in TNAP if possible. I have not used Pluto TV yet. Thanks.

Pluto TV EPG is loading fine. Picons will show after a restart that is normal. Played a Pluto VOD for a minute to test and was fine. Pluto Tv Live channels are playing fine. Advertisements are playing normal so far. On my other test on Openpli py3 test image the advertisements did not always play properly. I suspecting Tnap5 may show the same issue. Time will tell.
Thanks!
