enhancedmoviecenter - keeps installing itself

anyone noticed that the enhancedmoviecenter plugin keeps installing itself as part of the openatv updates?
same for programmlisten-updater.

i keep un-installing them.
and this'll be the fourth time i've had to uninstall them.

i wouldn't mind so much, but it seems to default my planner screen to that every time it re-installs itself.
 
No they keep coming back

i used to remove everything I could, now the box is what comes on it
never use them, never see them until I go In it plugins

so not a ploblem
 
problem i have is that it seems to set my planner screen to that, and uninstalling enhancedmoviecenter reverts it back to what it should be.
i wouldn't mind either if it didn't screw with my planner screen.
 
well as it wasn't installed in the first place then it would be hard to turn something on that i didn't have installed.
i can only assume that it's installing itself, and then turning itself on.

Yep, same here, a right pain in the proverbial............;-(
 
i've already uninstalled it again.
so i'll wait until it decided to re-appear again.
would be nice to have the choice of it not choosing to re-install itself though.
 
They install on every software update.
I've written a script to remove them all on every full restart (which is usually after a software update) so sorted.
 
Willo I was speaking to wooshman about doing similar but having it turned off in the menu and using opkg hold for matrix skin as enhanced movie center is part of it but couldn't work it out

not on every update.
I've updated 5 times in the past 7 days or so. and it's only re-appeared once.

I'm not much cop at coding and pythony stuff. Mine is a much cruder method and would probably be frowned on by the people a bit more in the know.
I just did a bit of googling to find out if any scripts ran at boot time in enigma2 and then chucked a bit of extra code in that deletes the stuff i don't want.

# Willo's clean out the shite script
# Remove Metrix HD skin
rm -rf /usr/share/enigma2/MetrixHD
# Remove unwanted plugins
rm -rf /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/{MyMetrixLite,CutListEditor,EnhancedMovieCenter,ProgrammlistenUpdater,PicturePlayer,DVDPlayer}

I've been using this method for a while and it hasn't caused any problems but there's bound to be a much prettier way of doing it lol
It doesn't throw out any errors if the folders don't exist either.

Well they don't reappear ever on my box lol
 
​Chenks/dillyp70......Enough with the petty insults or you will be visiting the naughty corner !!!!!!

yes they do re-appear for you.
you just have a rather crude brute force script that keeps deleting them on reboot.

I know it's crude, I mentioned that in my post.

Your original post seemed to suggest that you were fed up of having to keep uninstalling Metrix.
I was only trying to be helpful and shared the method I am using that just deletes it after gets installed.
It doesn't really reappear because the box reboots after a software update and then it's gone.

If you come up with a prettier method of doing it I'll be more than happy to try it.
 
i never mentioned Metrix.
crude isn't an insult, it's merely a description of the method you use to remove them.

the preferred, and only sensible solution would be where it doesn't get re-installed at all.
 
Apologies, yes it was advanced movie center, but the same applies really.
I searched high and low for a method to stop Metrix reinstalling on every (or a lot of the time) update and couldn't find one so I put my crude script in that also deletes the plugins I don't use or need.

It works for me anyway, until you come up with the preferred and sensible solution. I wish I hadn't mentioned it now.
 
It's a part of metrix so when there's an update to it it will reinstall emc plugin these are part of openatv that installs by default either use the above script or see if you can opkg hold on the metrix plugin and turn off emc via the plugin menu
 
isn't it a good idea to keep Metrix installed anyway?
otherwise if your skin goes tits up you can't revert back to the default skin?
