[RELEASE] Wireless Manager (Wicd based) Addon for Linux - vikjon0 - 2011-01-12 !!Discontinued I am stopping development on this add-on since network-manager is included in XBMCbuntu and it conflicts with wicd. I have now created a release thread for the new nm frondend and will stop posting here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130816 I have upgraded to Eden. https://github.com/downloads/vikjon0/xbmc.script.linux.wireless/xbmc.script.linux.wireless-11.0.0.zip The install function have been removed. You need to remove network manager and install wicd curses otherwise it does not work. Quote:sudo apt-get purge network-manager network-manager-gnome Here is the last Dharma version https://github.com/downloads/vikjon0/xbmc.script.linux.wireless/script.linux.wireless-0.0.6.zip If you want to test you need to be able to post a debug log in case you get some errors. Another add-on that helps with that is available in the offficial repository. The add-on is of course used on your own risk. In the current version there is not a full properties/configure dialog. A network is set to auto connect when added, while the complete solution is pending I have added a temporarily "remove auto button". The reason is that even a failed connection attempt will set that connection to auto creating issues if that is the strongest connection. (This may not be needed anymore in Ubuntu 11.10) - BlueCop - 2011-01-13 excellent! I was needing something like this for my appletv running linux. I will try this later. many thanks working on GUI - vikjon0 - 2011-01-19 I will make a very simple GUI and release it for test. Please let me know if you want to test it! EDIT: img removed - adam71o - 2011-01-20 I would love to test this out but I am unexperienced and I'm using WPA, not WPA2 on xbmc live 10. - vikjon0 - 2011-01-20 Quote:I would love to test this out but I am unexperienced and I'm using WPA, not WPA2 on xbmc live 10.I beleive WPA,WPA2 & WEP should work. It is only that I have not tested yet. You are welcome to test, but if it does not work I will not be able to help you. Please note that the picture is from the next version. The existing version is only a couple of buttons and you have to type in the name of your network. - adam71o - 2011-01-20 I know this is exactly what you said that you didn't want to do, but I'll ask anyway. Teehee! How would one install this? Would I unzip the contents to a certain directory? If so, can you explain exactly how to do that via the cli (I have an xbmc live 10 install, so no gui outside of xbmc itself)? - please be very explicit, detailing commands and all Btw, thanks for making this. It seems like such an obvious and useful tool that has been left out of xbmc. - vikjon0 - 2011-01-20 no unzipping. put it in the home folder or on a usb. Go to system/add-ons / install from zip file and select the zip file. - vikjon0 - 2011-01-21 I can report some progress! I have hooked up the new GUI to the wrapper and it can now scan the networks! EDIT - img removed - adam71o - 2011-01-21 I get a 404 error when trying to access the zip file listed above. Is there a new link? - vikjon0 - 2011-01-21 Sorry about that, I fixed it. Hopefully the new GUI will be ready for test after the weekend. - vikjon0 - 2011-01-22 The Wireless Manager add-on is now ready for test with the new GUI. See first post. (The download is from dropbox and it does not seem happy today you may have to try a few times.) - vikjon0 - 2011-01-23 Now available from github https://github.com/vikjon0/xbmc.script.linux.wireless - vikjon0 - 2011-01-23 I figured out how to manually upload the zip. I assumed it would be generated by git, but guess not. I also figured out that that if I want a repository the add-on should be a sub folder, but thats a later problem. https://github.com/downloads/vikjon0/xbmc.script.linux.wireless/script.linux.wireless-0.0.2.zip Anyone that have tested? - Sidekick - 2011-01-24 Tested on a Zotac ION ITX Board. It worked as described. You should add a button to "disconnect". Perhaps the Install Button could change to disconnect after installing. Thank you for the Skript, that is what I was waiting for since month - vikjon0 - 2011-01-24 Quote:Tested on a Zotac ION ITX Board. Thanks for testing! I started to think no one was interested. Yes, I agree need a disconnect. Other needed changes:
Another thing that would be great would be if it could install without internet. I could do that, but then I think it will not be accepted into the repository. I am considering functionality to scan a USB to find the .deb files. |
