oops i did it again... NEED RECO ON DTV PLUGIN

[dtich]

upgraded without fully reading/comprehending potential incompatibilities.....

broke directv control plugin.

are there good current ones that people can recommend. kinda painted myself into a corner on this.


thanks!

[jay (support)]

Amazing that it still works TBH...

[GlennNZ]

It looks python3 compatible at a glance already? (there is not much to it…)
(2nd glance - probably just needs urllib changed…)

@ glenn, thx, i did update py... let me see ...

get this in log btw:

Code: Select all

 Reloading plugin "DIRECTV DVR Control 1.1.1" using API v1.19
   Error                           plugin "DIRECTV DVR Control 1.1.1" is no longer compatible with this Indigo release and must be updated

[GlennNZ]

Try:

https://github.com/Ghawken/directv-dvr-control

Press green Code button - Download Zip- and double click the plugin bundle to update.

I believe should fix. But please test as I can't!

(If works can issue pull back to Indigo repository)

glenn, worked, thanks so much.

however, do get this error in log even though the commands are working. perhaps a touch sluggishly.

Ok.
Speed should the same.

Will be formatting of the reply - will see what can do without having access to any of the replies

The plugin doesn't log it defaulty currently...

[dtich]

let me know if i can enable a debug mode or anything that would be helpful.

thanks a lot glenn for sorting this, much much appreciated!

Update to version 2023.1.2 - just there now
Add debug logging and information about what is received.

Post that information and with that should be able to quickly tidy up and fix

I've updated the Open Source versionof this plugin for Python 3. This update should be considered a beta as I don't have DirecTV equipment to test against.

I didn't realize that Glenn made an updated fork available, so use the above at your discretion. My update is in no way a comment on Glenn's work!

[GlennNZ]

Yours is definitely the definitive python3 update!

Mine was this won’t take long other than changing the API number, and then the urllib usage etc. So was very slap dash.

Moving to requests etc a far better option!
