Vix 6 0 001 ipk's not installing
- Thread starter wilsock
- Start date
Ok thanks Willo, I'll stick with vix 5.4 for now then👍
So this was posted last night on other forum and explains my problem....
"The main change from version 5.4 to version 6.0 has been to upgrade from Python 2 to Python 3"
"Some plugins may not be currently compatible with python3 or the OE-A 5.0 core, streaming plugins may also require their respective author's to add dependencies for GST 1.xx."
At least there's a reason now, think this should have been posted at the same time the build was available to download

It has been well known for a long time that that the latest version of ViX would be python 3.
ATV 6.5 and 7.0 have been running for quite a while on python 3.
The only problem is that certain plugins can't be converted to python 3 without the authors involvement.
The only alternative is going to be to stick with older firmware or use a different plugin.

Thanks Willo, yeh for a mere mortal like myself who doesn't delve too much in to the workings of the firmware it's something of a surprise and no doubt will affect others who like to integrate their iptv with freeview on their boxes. Until authors or providers provide new plugins some of us are as you say stuck with the previous image.

I am using the script method which I find much better than softcam manager.
This is a post from Twol on the openvix forum:

Connect to the box with putty and login with root and password.
Issue the following commands followed by enter:
opkg update
opkg install packagegroup-base-smbfs-server
reboot

Switch off all the softcam manager settings as posted by Twol
Ensure you have config files in each of the softcam folders for each softcam in /etc/tuxbox/config/
Select 'Softcam Script' from MENU > SETTINGS
Select whichever softcam you want using the left/right buttons
Change the 2nd option to 'restart softcam' and press green to save.

Jedimakerxtream, IPTV bouquet maker or xstreamity, any of those should work fine you just need the URL, username and password

I don't think there is a python 3 version available. A lot of IPTV providers seem to use apps that are not updated to python 3.
I would ask the provider if there's an alternative or if it is going to be updated because all of the main E2 images are python 3 now.
Otherwise it will be a case of sticking on ViX 5.4 or ATV 6.4 or trying to find an alternative plugin yourself.
