bad magic number normally means the plugin has been developed for a python version that your box is not upto date with.

eg The plugin could be python version 2.7 but python on your box is only 2.6

You could telnet into your box and type python --version (thats off the top of my head) if thats incorrect just do a python --help to get the correct command

i have done this on my azbox (open azbox mod v6b) and it says i am running python 2.6.6

i have tried to load the ipk packages but they are all ignored and i didnt want to try a forced install in case i messed up the box.

would it be possible to modify the plugin to work on python 2.6.6 as i have asked about modifying the firmware up to python 2.7, on the open azbox forum, and got no reply

The AZBox runs a different architecture to what the Ondemand plugin was originally developed for. So its likely that in its current form it will not be possible to install into the AZBox.
Some aspects of the plugin and particularly the library files may need to be compiled specifically for your box.

Works great on BlackHole OE 2.0.1. Installed from the BH Addons Downloads menu. Thanks a million

Need a bit of help as can't get this going. Installed the files by ftp as directed and sent the telnet command. All went fine and no errors produced. Have restarted the box but can't see the On Demand plugin when I press the blue button. Tried many times so any help appreciated.

thanks for the reply. the enigma2 firmware is still being developed for the az so i'll see how it goes. they are basing it on open pli.

Couple of recent updates for the irish players within the OE-Alliance OnDemand player while i'm here.

[OnDemand] Add Search option to rteplayer.py
As the title says, a new menu item has been added to search for
programmes on the RTE Player Website

mcquaim
I have added a new search option to the menu for the RTE Player. I will look into whether this will be possible for the other players as I get to them....
Update can be found on the GIT or added manually via the included file.

[OnDemand] Add Search option to threeplayer.py
A new search menu item has been added to the 3 Player to search for programmes on tv3.ie

Ok, last one for today, a search menu item has been added to 3 Player (New zip on post #1).. This will keep us Irish happy for now anyway, next for foreign relations

Thats a very old build now, i'd recommend you do a fresh flash to a newer build something in the 600 range for best results.

EDIT - found the replacement file - and now - finally - have OnDemand running. Thanks to rurs & robxxx7 (and the OnDemand Team).

Had the same issue on my Dm800 running Open Pli but used the 3 replacement files you used and its working now.
Very nice indeed.

Sorry for the noob questioning - but I take it swapping out folders can be done in the case of vix images only? I did this with bh.1.7.9 and ran into trouble.

How do I go about applying these updates in this case?

yes these updates are only for OE-A based images such as ViX, for BH and other images you would need to wait for them to be adapted to those images by the relevant parties.

Exstatic with the current version - so don't mind waiting for any updated versions to come along.

Have always had access to the uk players on laptop (and of course the irish players). However, I'd rarely be bothered to access them in that way. Being able to do so direct on the tv (via stb) makes the whole thing user friendly :cool:

And there was I hoping at least this forum would avoid being infiltrated from the commercial land grab that is Vix.
More kudos goes to those guys that try and devixify everything and make things truly cross operational and not just vix only. I'm not going to go into a long diatribe as to why I wouldn't trust anything this commercial enterprise tries to do in this hobby as the attack poodles will just jump in on the bandwagon defending anything they do in there normal bullying ways.
So this thread is unfollowed .. Enjoy yourselves.

Regardless of all the Vix vs BH fighting, this thread needs to be renamed. It has fast become a Vix plugin focussed thread, which many may not have noticed. Just in case people try to install this and wonder why its not working with BH!

I am sure it is not the focus of the OE alliance to concentrate on just one image platform.

I have read the stinking arguments you get into on other fora.

This board is not the WOS forum nor indeed the linuxsat-support.com forum. Neither is it a changelog for this plugin.

This thread is about a so called OPEN plugin that should be compatible with all image types. If it is not please specify what it is compatible with.

I know full well that some of the latest additions and changes only run on Vix and WHY that is. Others wont. Do not confuse people as they WILL have to reimage their boxes if they attempt to install your updates and attachments to their boxes using non compatible images.

I would hardly call a request for correct labelling as a moan fest.

Given your attitude, so be it. This did not surprise me, your form is already known.

The last time i tried with a Pli image it did work although that was a few revisions ago and with a Vu plus Uno and there are a few dependencies that need installing.

Try this bear in mind that it is the very latest OE-Alliance version so i cant guarantee it will work without needing something extra.

Extract the OnDemand folder from the archive and FTP it to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/ then extract the dependencies archive and FTP the .ipk files to the /tmp folder. Ideally you want to be installing these in a specific order as such

python-lxml
python-beautifulsoup
python-dnspython
python-simplejson the others should be fine in any order, or you could just use the following telnet command to install them all together but i'm not sure if that would work.

init 4 && opkg install /tmp/*.ipk && init 3

let me know how you get on with it which ever way it goes.

Nobody was complaining. It was just a request that they be labelled as being suitable for certain images thats all, so people wouldnt be installing them wrongly and green screening there boxes.

For those Vu users using Blackhole OE2, there is a V3 beta version of the plugin that has 40D on the Vucommunity website.

Do i have to manually update every time via FTP or are the plugins updated automatically in any way?

irishgeo wrote: »

That depends on which image your using at the moment. for example on ViX and other OE-Alliance based images you would just need to update the image as the plugin is built from the GIT every time, meaning you would always have the latest version. for other images they would need adapting first.

Hopefully though this will soon change as the BH team are looking at creating their own GIT repository for such projects, this would mean greater inter image co-operating between BH and the OE-A on such works and allow them to port plugins faster and the same in return for the OE-A and native BH plugins.

I just happened to stumble across this thread today, I never thought of even posting my updates here, sorry folks!!

I have to say, it made me laugh to read some of the comments by STB & Robxxx7. It kind of makes me wonder is it worth putting in simply weeks of work to develop this (for free may I add) when you have people like these guys trying to knock everything good people try to do..

There is no conspiracy here. It was developed on Vix as it is Vix I use and IMO Vix is the best image, but each to their own. In no way have I added code to prevent this working on other images. If this was the case then why would we be providing everyone with the source so they can get it working on other images..

Anyway, rant over... It just annoys me to read such crap these sort of people are constantly posting!

I hope the rest of you guys enjoy OnDemand, I know I do!!

Thanks for all your work on this great plugin. Between OnDemand (on VU Duo), Netflix and HuluPlus (on ps3) I'd say 80% of my TV viewing is now via internet now.

hi mcquaim, thanks for all your work. from the reports i have read it sounds like an excellent plugin.

i have asked already in this thread about trying to get it to work on my azbox premium plus which is running the OpenAZBox PLi MOD HD Release 8. one poster answered on here saying that the enigma version on the azbox was different than on the vu and that the firmware would have to be modified to let it work.

as far as i can gather the my azbox runs oe 1.6 and a lot of boxes run on oe 2.0 so this i imagine would be a problem from the start.

the python version on my box is 2.6 and this throws up errors when trying to install the plugin. i have tried to put all the files that were uploaded to support your software and that is when the errors appear.

i am just wondering if you know if it is possible to modify the plugin or the firmware to make the plugin work in this version of enigma? i did try uploading python 2.7 onto the azbox but this didn't work.

as i said here in my earlier post here, i did post on the OpenAZBox forum asking the same questions but they are trying to get a stable firmware working properly and it wouldn't be high on their priority list at the moment.

i presume you don't have an azbox and so wouldn't be able to test the plugin on one but if you could point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it a lot.

i have managed to get the rte player plugin working on the azbox but yours is several steps above it so it would be great to get it working.

thanks.

Hi there,

I'm afraid that I don't have an AzBox so I can't test any of this for you!

I know other images that are using Python 2.6 have some of the latest versions working so it should be possible.

The developer of the original RTE player and on the early stages of OnDemand, Rogerthis, has an AzBox so I will ask him if he has it working on his.

If he does then I will get him to post it here or send it to me and I'll post it up for you!

Cheers,
mcquaim

RogerThis

I did all my initial testing on AzBox Elite. I used OpenRSI 3.0 http://www.openrsi.org/openrsi/downloads/downloads-azbox-rsi3/ which is based on OpenPLI 3.0 which all OE-Alliance images are based.
This is python 2.7. (Correct me if i'm wrong but there is no OE-Alliance image for AzBox)

If you want to go down the road of OpenRSI, you can use mickd's version from BH to get it working http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/ondemand-by-oe-alliance.10908/page-4#post-84945
