Channels using *Wrapper plugins do not work when put in the channels' alternatives list

Closed this issue · 9 comments

Hi,
Describe the bug / Actual behaviour:
I noticed that IPTV channel list entries that use any *Wrapper plugin (for example those with URLs starting with YT_DLP://) do not work when put in the alternatives list of a channel.

Expected behaviour:
The channels using the *Wrapper plugins should work also when put in the alternatives list of a channel.

Has this issue started to happen just recently?
The problem persists on an all tested (up to date as for today) versions of OpenATV: 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4.

To reproduce:
As an example I used XITE channel stream as it should not be geoblocked.

  1. Optional, only if you want to start on a fresh OpenATV instance: Install all the required packages:
    opkg update && opkg install python3-yt-dlp streamlink enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceapp enigma2-plugin-extensions-ytdlpwrapper enigma2-plugin-extensions-streamlinkwrapper streamlinksrv
  2. Add channel list entries using "bare IPTV", Streamlinksrv, Streamlinkwrapper, YTDLPWrapper plugins directly in the channel list and later the same channel list entries but put in the alternatives list

init 3 # Start Enigma2 GUI
  1. Go to the "Favourites (TV) bouquet"
  2. Now check which of the channels work. The result should be as described below:
    a) XITE IPTV - works
    b) XITE Streamlinksrv - works
    c) XITE Streamlinkwrapper - works
    d) XITE YTDLPWrapper - works
    e) XITE ALT IPTV - works
    f) XITE ALT Streamlinksrv - works
    g) XITE ALT Streamlinkwrapper - not works
    h) XITE ALT YTDLPWrapper - not works

Conclusion: All the IPTV channels using the "*Wrapper" plugins that are put in the alternatives list do not work -that's the issue I describe here.

Screenshots
Only a black screen is visible on non-working channels so there's not much to show :)

Image/Box Model (please complete the following information):

  • Version: OpenATV 7.2, 7.3, 7.4
  • BoxModel: Octagon SF8008

Additional context
In case of further questions (logs, etc.) I can provide them if needed.

Please test this :
ChannelSelection.py.zip

You need ATV 7.3 or 7.4 devel build.

Please try this:
ChannelSelection.py.zip

Unfortunately, with that file in place it crashes on every channel change (both alternatives and normal channels).

Sorry. there was a typo.

I have tested this and this is working here.
ChannelSelection.py.zip

mp107 commented

I can confirm that after applying the attached file the alternative channel list entries based on *Wrapper plugins do work on both OpenATV 7.3 and 7.4 devel.

Thank you very much for your help

jbleyel commented

There is one issue left.
The selected alternative if you open the service list is wrong.
I will try to fix this.

mp107 commented

You're right. I've just put a file on an OpenATV instance with more complex channel list (multiple alternatives - cable, satellite, IPTV channels) and it looks like it prefers to choose the IPTV-based channel alternative.

In case of a need for further testing I can still assist.

jbleyel commented

The calculation of an preferred alternative iptv service in a group is not possible.
