Crash/bootloop with 6.8.007 (RemainingToText.py, config.usage.swap_time_remaining_on_osd=3)

[hnyman]

I got a repeating Enigma2 crash after just some 5-10 seconds uptime. After Enigma self-relaunches, it crashes again after 5-10 seconds. Total cycle is some 17 seconds :-(

Luckily only Enigma crashes, not the whole OS, so getting logs via SSH is possible.

========== Enigma2 log ends ==========

Looking at the crash line RemainingToText.py as a hint and a message on the Finnish forum about config.usage.swap_time_remaining_on_vfd=3 having crashed for some users a bit earlier, I spotted the setting config.usage.swap_time_remaining_on_osd=3 in my own settings. Changing that to 1 removed the bootloop.

Rather similar as the earlier Finnish error report that has been copied also to the OpenViX support forum

I can confirm this crash.

By the way, which display skin are you using?

[hnyman]

which display skin are you using?

If you asked me, it was in the original message:

VueUno4kSE, Simple Ten Eighty, no fancy plugins.

[Huevos]

I am talking about the display skin, not the GUI skin.

[hnyman]

I think that "skin default + picon" ?
(Exact name is a bit guess, as I see that in Finnish, when looking from the settings menu in GUI)

[hnyman]

I fetched the two .py files from the commit to the live router, and replaced the .pyc files there.

All four settings options (remaining, elapsed, remaining+elapsed, elapsed+remaining) seem to work both for the GUI and the LCD display.
