apps.mios.com - Problems

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion
1

I tried to create a new plugin on apps.mios.com and I have a problem:

I am not able to create a device in the upnp tab on apps.mios.com. Then I try adding a device with DeviceType “urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:VLight:1” and the Implementation file “D_VLight.xml” I get the message “Device FileName already used.” What am I doing wrong?! I doens’t matter what I enter, I always get the same error message.

File names must be unique across all plugins, since they install into a single directory. It’s likely someone else has already used that file name in another plugin.

I can also enter “fffdszcxrvuzubrhgifugtzrwfet.xml” and it doesn’t work, same error. I am quite sure no one used this filename…

Another problem I just realized is that png files (I use them for custom Icons) are not being transmitted to the vera anymore when installing an app from apps.mios.com.

Interesting. I’ve not used it recently so it’s possible they broke something. You can PM Florin to get their attn.

The other option is that they’re validating deviceType strings, since the one you list above is a service string not a deviceType. I’d be surprised though, since they really don’t validate stuff anywhere els.

I created the device and it worked in the first try. Maybe it’s a cache issue, have you tried clearing the browser cache?

lol, true! ;D

Thanks for your quick input! Yes, I tried clearing the cache and it did not help. Now I am at home, and from here it works. Will have to do further investigation tomorrow at work. Maybe the firewall, but I already did a lot of work on the plugins from there, so I am a little surprised. Sorry, must be a problem on my side…

How about the pictures. I recently installed the VirtualContainer plugin on my dad’s vera. After the installation I realized the plugin installed just fine and was completely functional, just the custom icon was missing. When I then went to the repository (MiOS Apps) I saw that the icon has not really been uploaded. I now added a new version and marked the image file with “compress” when creating the version. Now the icon is available again (MiOS Apps), but I did not verify if it really installs on the vera…

There’s a bug in the files viewer on apps.mios.com: you can’t see uncompressed files. It’s already in Mantis. The custom icon should be uncompressed, otherwise it won’t be loaded by the UI. If the path to the icon was correct, I don’t see why the icon didn’t load.

ok then, I’ll give it another try. mcvflorin, may I ask you to remove the latest versions of the virtualswitch as well as the virtual container plugin which I transmitted for approval today?

I just removed them.
