Hello,
There are several reason why there was no update for 2 weeks:
1. Some time before the last update my external HDD was damaged. On that HDD I stored the enviroment for compiling binary components used by E2iPlayer like ffmpeg, pycurl, exteplayer3 and so on. These components are not updated frequently but anyway because of the damage to that HDD I was not able to compile for example exteplayer3 for all supported platforms any more.
This makes me very sad because on this HDD I had a lot of data. However the environment for development and deployment of the E2iPlayer (the part written in the python) was on my internal HDD, so that was not lost.
2. During this time I was on something like a two-week "vacation" and I did not have access to my PC nor to any STB.
3. During my "vacation" I got many questions asking me why there were no updates - I answered with 1. and 2. As I wrote the problem 1. is not directly the reason why there was no update of the E2iPlayer itself, but it could cause big issues updating the E2iPlayer without also updating the binary components along with that.
During this time I was accused of lying, I received insults and many messages where users were demanding an update.
I cannot agree with the behavior of these users. I spent hundreds of hours developing this plugin. E2iPlayer is my hobby and I share it with people for free. I never ask for donation or something like that. How do users thank me for that?
Because of this after I returned from my "vacation" I decide to develop E2iPlayer in the private domain:
https://gitlab.com/e2iprivate/e2iplayer
I also started to create a new environment for compiling binary components from scratch because of the loss of the old environment I had on my hard drive.
It will be not published because of many rude opinions expressed to me.
Now, new versions of the E2iPlayer are only available for my friends and family.
And those who spit on me and offended me should now roll up their sleeves and make their on plugins or something else and share this with others themselves.
Regards,
