TNAP 5.1 Available for Edision

[cyberham]

The new TNAP 5.1 test image has been posted by el bandido. You can do the installation via your Edision online feature to flash the new image into an available slot. Be sure to keep valid older images in the other slots just in case you need to revert back. Installation went well and the software has auto-install which means after installing you still have all your user files (satellite transponders, user bouquets, etc.) in place. You don't have to re-configure everything. This is a great time and effort saver.

After I did a scan, , I see "Please configure a location in plugin settings."

The only thing I can think of is the Weather MSN plugin allows you to enter via its Menu your location so the weather reports it provides are customized for your area.

Menu > Plugins > Weather MSN. Then Menu > Location (type in city name) or just Menu > Search Location (blue button) and type in city name.

Thank you cyberham!

I could not access the site for 1 hour this morning. I thought they were down at the time.

Can access the site now. If it's not a site issue, clear your cookies and this can sometimes fix the issue.

legitfta.com is not working for me now. I get:

legitfta.com can't currently handle this request.

Same results accessing the site. I tried with a couple of VPN locations,clearing cookies (cntrl f5) and different browsers. Looks like a server issue. Do you happen to know what is new in the 5.1 offering?

If I can do it online from the STB I'll be OK otherwise don't look like it's gonna happen here LOL

Go ahead and try now: legitfta.com

Has anybody upgraded directly to TNAP 5.1, from the older TNAP 4.2, and auto-restored their settings and satellites, etc? If so, did it work ok for you?

Thanks!

As mentioned in Post #1 above, the new auto-install feature retains your personal configuration data. As far as I remember when I upgraded, that worked OK for me. I've been on TNAP 5.1 for months and it seems stable now.

I wanted to make sure auto-restore from the older version 4.2 was ok. Not sure, but if EB set 5.1 to autorestore settings and didn't specifically warn about not restoring from images OLDER then 5.0, it must be ok.

I don't recall if I went from 4.2 or 5.0 to 5.1. I've gotten rid of everything older than 5.1 out of my four slots now since I'm confident in 5.1. Probably 5.0 if that was the previously released version.

You're right to be cautious since I prefer, in general, not to pass forward old configurations to prevent corruption. Live on the edge. Keep your current system in a slot (and on a USB stick) and go for the auto-upgrade. You can always go back. If it works, it's nice not to waste all that time configuring from scratch.

It is the same as going from 4.2 to 5.0 Some of the plugins like skins may not be installed if not available. 4.2 was python 2 and 5 ,5.1 are python 3. The settings file will work so you will get that and the channels installed.
5.1 is just 5.0 with more openpli updates. I think the feeds for 5.0 started getting mixed with some enigma2 changes so 5.1 was build to clean things up with new feeds for the new openpli updates. They both have the same python version 3.9.9 and same drivers. EB said some of the crashes in 5.0 were caused by a mixing of enigma2.

I did restore my settings from 4.2 (which image I've been using for a few years now), and everything APPEARS to be working fine. Though, I also recently started playing with another OpenVix image for the first time in about 5 years, and in just a few days of playing with that, and then coming back to TNAP 5.1 it seems like going directly from High school back to Kindergarten, lol.

The biggest difference I noticed, is, remember WAY back when ALL the early TNAP images before LATE 4.1 image would jump time/not keep time at random while in Standby, and EB finally fixed it for well and good in TNAP 4.2? That would cause HAVOC with record timers, because it would jump back at random to 1969 or 1970 Epoch times.

Well, the latest OpenVix 6.6 from this year STILL has that problem! I installed the HWCLOCK missing linux file mentioned in a thread at Legit, and it settled down quite a bit, but still does it. Haven't been able to figure out as of yet what else needs to be tweaked to get it to stay correct.

TNAP 5.1 stays rock steady on the clock, Standby Mode or not.

Thanks for all your help, Steve! Pretty rock solid now, with the exception of the Weather app not finding my location for some reason. I just removed it. I also fixed my satellites file, and placed it in \etc\enigma2, so it won't get overwritten like the default one. Amazing how fast you can forget how to do things when you don't play around with the images for a long period of time!

I have checked out the infobar weather plugin in TNAP 5.1 and the problem is in the image itself not the plugin. Seems to be blocked from getting the location data. If your location data was transfered in your settings file from TNAP 5.0 then the infobar weather data displays on the screen. TNAP 5.0 doesn't have the issue.
