After the changes - please telnet :-

init 4
killall -9 enigma2
enigma2>/tmp/enigma2.log 2>&1 &1

Then enigma2 will restart and you will see the log (with any errors) in /tmp/enigma2.log

Cheers, pcd.

1) First is that after changes I have to restart Dreambox to see changes in plugin behaviour- how to recompile the source without rebooting sequence which take a lot of time?

One trick that I have used is to force module reload every time your plugin is called.
plugin.py will contain only the bare minimum:

from Plugins.Plugin import PluginDescriptor
import YourModule


def main(session, servicelist, **kwargs):
	reload(YourModule)
	try:
		session.open(YourModule.YourScreen)
	except:
		import traceback
		traceback.print_exc()


def Plugins(**kwargs):
	return PluginDescriptor(name = "YourPlugin",
				description = "Your test plugin",
				where = PluginDescriptor.WHERE_PLUGINMENU,
				fnc = main)

Then your actual plugin code will be in YourModule.py file.
In this case you would have YourScreen defined there.
All your editing would be in that file, and every time you start the plugin, the code in plugin.py reloads your module.
If you don't want to crash the whole Enigma while testing something, you can wrap your code with try - except.

silelis: it is not necessary to reboot the dreambox, you can do an enigma2 restart (to have this in the shutdown menu you must have set the level in the config to 'Expert').

I copied the tips to the wiki

Also, I found it much easier to develop the plugin on the PC with Enigma2 running on the PC - it's super-fast and you can restart as often as you want.

Hi cweiske. I am really interested by what you said. What do you mean by 'to develop the plugin on the PC with Enigma2 running on the PC' ?? Do you have like an emulator or something ??

You can run Enigma2 on a PC - you do not need an emulator.
