From where did "infoRecBm.py" come?

[IanSav]

Hi,

Can anyone please advise how infoRecBm.py came to be part of the Beyonwiz build? An opkg search infoRecBm.py does not report the source package.

Regards,
Ian.

It's part of easy-skin-aus-hd.

Hi Adoxa,

It is used by all the skins as one of the converters. The issue is that the source code is not in the Beyonwiz repository. opkg doesn't appear to know from where it came.

I am trying to find where it comes from and how it has been recently changed. Since the last beta update my box has started to spontaneously crash and reboot due to an error in this converter. The crashes are all the same as the sample I have attached.

Regards,
Ian.

If the converter doesn't recognise its type, self.type is not set, so you get the crash.

Hi Adoxa,

Well what do you know, after all these years I never realised that the built in skins came with their own code components. Thank you for pointing this out.

Now to explore why this has suddenly broken for me.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Adoxa,

Problem found. When updating OverlayHD to implement some of the new code changes I think I grabbed some skin code from one of your patches that I no longer use. When I removed the offending skin code block everything seems to be resolved.

infoRecBm is a pretty weird Converter. None of the info that's generated by its getText() method comes from its upstream Source.

Hi Prl,

It is also a poorly written converter. There is no diagnostics or attempt to protect users from a crash due to an issue in the skin.

Also, my Spanish is pretty much non-existent

Meh, just another language to learn. Won't take long. Spanish isn't all that hard if you have a passing familiarity with Romance languages or even Latin.

On the other hand, when writing Open Source code contributions, it really ought to be in English, so that stuff can get done without unnecessary hurdles. All good programmers have to comprehend English, almost by definition.

Hi,

Or ask Huevos to translate.
