    Icon14 PRIORITY MANAGER V1.5 BY BUYUKBANG : Complete Tool to Power Up Azbox

    PRIORITY MANAGER V1.5 BY BUYUKBANG

    I decided not to release V1.4 which was only tested by a few people. I left it as an internal release since I was not convinced with it because of some bugs. I added new features to V1.5 and solved all bugs that I found. This is the most stable and most powerful release of PRIORITY MANAGER.
    I hope you like it !

    PLEASE READ BELOW DO***ENTATION CAREFULLY BEFORE ASKING OR COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING!, THANKS....




    DESCRIPTION:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This plugin is written by BUYUKBANG to improve total performance of Azbox HD and add its
    missing features! However its name remains as "Priority Manager", it now makes more than
    its name is offering. Here are the features of Priority Manager:

    * Priority Manager automatically changes the priorities of the processes to give optimal
    performance for the menu being used. I tested all processes one by one, decided their
    effects on the performance of all modules and prepared a bug-free (hopefully) and complex
    logic to cover all possible usage cases.

    * Priority Manager provides power saving! Smudger's power measurements show that
    Priority Manager decrease power consumption of the box from 25W to 23W while watching an
    SD channel and from 28W to 24W while watching an HD channel.

    * Priority Manager provides password protected hidden channel list feature. This will
    cover missing function in Azbox and so that you will be able to prepare a separate hidden
    channel list which you want hide from people not knowing your password. Default channel
    list will be automatically replaced, so that any reboots / electricity problems will not
    reveal this second channel list.

    * You can backup or restore /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders with just a simple button from
    user interface.

    * Priority Manager optionally takes backup of /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders in user defined
    periods in background.

    * Priority Manager upgrades Busybox from v1.0 to v1.16.

    * Priority Manager enables Cron usage.

    * Priority Manager can move plugins to internal HDD or USB storages.

    * Priority Manager optionally automatically mounts CIF and NFS shares when remote server
    is online and automatically unmounts CIF AND NFS shares when remote server is offline, so
    protects file manager from freezes when remote goes offline after the shares mounted.

    * Priority Manager optionally creates swap file on your HDD/Flash disk which will help
    RAM by caching some part of the memory. Priority Manager not only supports creating swap
    file on internal HDD or usb HDD/Flash disk connected before Azbox boots, it also supports
    creating swap file on usb HDD/Flash disk connected after Azbox boots by continuously
    checking for new USB devices.

    * Priority Manager can execute user selected programs after going into SLEEP mode and
    the kill them after return from SLEEP mode. By using this feature running resource
    intensive programs like transmission, aMule, azepgmgr in only SLEEP mode will be
    automatically managed without user intervention.

    * Priority Manager increases internal storage (DOM) speed speed up to 20% by changing
    its working parameters.

    * Priority Manager provides "Deep Sleep Mode" which automatically kills all unnecessary
    applications and improve downloading speed when box goes to sleep mode.


    * Up on deactivating or uninstalling Priority Manager, if related features activated in
    /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt, Busybox downgrades to the orginal version,swap file
    and cron is deactivated all mounted shares are unmounted and plugins are moved back to
    original place. A complete rollback without reboot requirement is performed.


    SPECIAL THANKS TO:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Smudger for the all information, tests and power measurements, his tests killed the bugs!

    Kanber Kav for his permission for the usage and modification of his Multicas Info plugin
    and for the idea of increasing internal storage (DOM) speed!


    Bug Reports
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you have any problems with Priority Manager, activate VERBOSE LOG from user interface
    and restart Priority Manager from PLUGINS-->PriorityManager-->Activate/Reactivate.
    This will create a verbose log file /Download/PriorityManager_Verbose_Log . Collect data
    with this option set to 1, without stopping, restarting, reactivating and deactivating
    Priority Manager, because all this operations will delete all old log files. Then send an
    e-mail to buyukbang @ gmail.com containing PriorityManager_Verbose_Log with the approximate
    time that problem occured.


    HISTORY:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    v1.5
    -----
    NEW: User interface is completely reworked. Toggling all settings from user interface
    without any need for using TELNET / FTP is now possible. Added a button to user interface
    to review current settings.

    NEW: Password protected hidden channel list feature is added.

    NEW: Backup /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folder from user interface is added.

    NEW: Restore last backup of /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders from user interface is added.

    FIX : Fixed some bugs in "Move Plugins" feature.


    v1.4
    -----
    This was an internal release and only a few testers got this version.

    NEW : Faster menu detection algorithm which dynamically manages sleep time between loops.

    NEW : Busybox can be upgraded automatically in boot from v1.0 to v1.16 with a simple
    option in PriorityManagerSettings.txt (Thanks to Kanber Kav for compiling Busybox!)

    NEW : Full automated Cron setup. Cron provides a very flexible UNIX scheduling mechanism.

    NEW : Moving plugins to internal HDD or USB storages.

    NEW : Scheduled backup of /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders in user defined periods.

    NEW : Improved user interface on Plugins Menu. (Thanks to Kanber Kav for the new version of
    his Multimenu plugin!)

    NEW : Improvement on automatic management of execution and killing programs: Priority
    Manager can start user selected programs when Azbox sleeps. When Azbox wakes up there are
    3 things that priority manager can do as an opposite action: kill it, start another
    script to stop it or simply do nothing which can be useful if it's a auto-terminated
    program or script.

    NEW: Better and faster recording detection algorithm.

    NEW: Mount checks simplified and tuned for better performance. Now you can mount CIF/NFS
    shares directly to HDD folders without using symlinks to DOM folders.

    NEW: Improved swap file support. Creation of swap file is now retried when "SWAP FILE
    ACTIVATION FAILED" error occurs.

    NEW : Up on deactivating or uninstalling Priority Manager, if related features activated
    in /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt, Busybox downgrades to the orginal version, swap
    file and cron is deactivated,all mounted shares are unmounted and plugins are moved back
    to original place. So a complete rollback without reboot requirement is performed.

    NEW : Limiting file size of PriorityManager_Verbose_Log with the given byte value.

    FIX : HDD not sleeps when reserved programs are waiting to be recorded.


    v1.3
    -----
    NEW : Packed the script as a plugin. You can look at the script logs, activate,
    deactivate, restart the script simply from Plugins Menu without having to use TELNET.
    Special thanks to Kanber Kav for his permission for the usage and modification of his
    Multimenu plugin!

    NEW : Increasing internal storage (DOM) speed up to 20% by changing its working
    parameters! (Thanks to Kanber Kav for the idea!)

    NEW : Full automated cleanup mechanism: After deleting this plugin from Plugins Menu,
    Priority Manager will be deactivated and process will be stopped, all installed files and
    log file will be deleted, all process priorities will be set to their default values. No
    reboot or user intervention needed!

    NEW : Reserved programs are now supported. When a scheduled recording starts, TV
    prioritization will be applied until it ends.

    NEW : CIF mount support for those who want want to mount CIF shares of your network to
    Azbox. (auto-mounts shares when the file server is online, auto-unmounts share when the
    file server is offline)

    NEW : NFS mount support for those who want want to mount NFS shares of your network to
    Azbox. (auto-mounts shares when the file server is online, auto-unmounts share when the
    file server is offline)

    NEW : Swap file support for Azbox. You can activate this option so that to Priority
    Manager creates swap file on your HDD or Flash disk which will help RAM by caching some
    part of the memory. Swap usage file helps large file operations like recording.

    NEW : "Deep Sleep" option. You can activate this option if you want to kill all
    unnecessary applications when box goes to sleep mode to improve downloading speed. There
    are some side effects of deep sleep. For more information please read DEEP_SLEEP section
    of /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt .

    NEW : Automatic management of execution and killing of sleep mode programs. Priority
    Manager can execute user selected programs after going into SLEEP mode and the kill them
    after return from SLEEP mode with the new feature. For more information please read
    PROGRAM section of /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt .

    NEW : CCcam EMU prioritization. (Thanks to Smudger for the information!)

    NEW : NewCS EMU prioritization. (Thanks to Smudger for the information!)

    NEW : Transmission (torrent client) sleep mode prioritization.

    NEW : aMule (eD2K client) sleep mode prioritization.

    NEW : Verbose log generation for debugging added. Please read "IMPORTANT NOTES - 4" for
    more information.

    NEW : Better TV recording and channel switch speed.

    NEW : Better performance for some process priorities.

    NEW : All settings are moved from script file to a separate file :
    /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt

    FIX : "CANCEL" option in sleep menu is now detected as it should be.


    v1.2
    -----
    NEW : azepgmgr support to protect TV/Media applications from the glitches caused by its
    initial process. (Thanks to Smudger for all tests and information!)

    NEW : Client/Server mode switch parameter for those who want to this script on a box
    being used as a CAM server.

    NEW : Audio menu prioritization.

    NEW : Settings menu prioritization.

    NEW : Plugins menu prioritization.

    NEW : Cheops EMU prioritization.

    NEW : SBox EMU prioritization.

    NEW : All process priorities fine tuned.

    NEW : Better menu detection.

    NEW : Better sleep mode detection.

    NEW : Loop sleep time decreased from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.

    FIX : Sometimes CRTVCore collects all CPU power and this slows down everything. So I
    decreased priority of CRTVCore.

    FIX : Fixed a bug in restart: /DISK2/etc/start.d/S1PriorityManager.sh restart


    v1.1
    -----
    NEW : RSS and Browser components stay in memory after first usage. Added support for
    automatically killing RSS and Browser components when using other menu.


    v1.0
    -----
    NEW : All process priorities updated according to the results of my long tests. IP TV,
    Mediaplayer, Recording, ECM Time (for EMUs) performances are optimised.

    NEW : Old scripts use "snice +XX" command to give processes positive nice values (lower
    priority). But this command does not guarantee to decrease the priority and system
    sometimes ignore this command. You can check old scripts by top command while changing
    menu modes. "<" sign means negative nice value and high priority, "N" sign means positive
    nice value and low priority. After a few times changing the menu modes everything has "<"
    sign and this is really nonfunctional situation. To fix this problem I used "snice STOP"
    which cannot be ignored by the system.

    NEW : massimo1167's script is not compatible with the option "Always Start in TV Mode"
    and this causes totally wrong prioritization. This is fixed.

    NEW : Old scripts block firmware upgrades and upgrade process sticks at "Extracting".
    Priority Manager fixes this issue and fully compatible Opensat upgrades. Just wait 45
    seconds at "Extracting", then upgrade process will continue.

    NEW : ftp,samba,telnet prioritization in sleep mode. I suggest you to transfer your files
    with FTP during sleep mode prioritization. This is the fasted method.

    NEW : Photo menu prioritization.

    NEW : Browser menu prioritization.

    NEW : RSS menu prioritization.

    NEW : Use this command to stop the script (does not work in old scripts):
    /DISK2/etc/start.d/S1PriorityManager.sh stop
    NEW : Use this command to restart the script (does not work in old scripts):
    /DISK2/etc/start.d/S1PriorityManager.sh restart

    NEW : Logging. Use this command to see log file:
    tail -n100 -f /tmp/PriorityManager_IsRunning


    INSTALLATION:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    METHOD 1 : USING PLUGINS MENU USER INTERFACE
    1. Extract PriorityManager.plugin and plugins.lst files from the archive file.

    2. Copy PriorityManager.plugin and plugins.lst to USB or simply transfer them by FTP to
    /tmp folder of your Azbox.

    3. Enter Plugins menu, press Red Button on remote controller to add plugin. If you're
    using USB select to install it from USB, or if you transferred files to /tmp folder
    install it from tmp folder.

    4. Check user defined parameters in /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt and edit
    parameters if you want, save the file.

    5. Activate plugin from the plugins menu: PLUGINS-->PriorityManager-->Activate/Reactivate

    6. After the first run of the script standby.sh and wakeup.sh scripts will be created
    under /DISK2/etc . These scripts will help to main script for the decision of the sleep
    mode by creating and deleting a file ( /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep ) If you have already
    standby.sh and wakeup.sh in /DISK2/etc, they will be backed up by installation process
    in the same directory. Then you may want to manually add below commands to scripts
    before running Priority Manager:
    echo 0 > /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep = to standby.sh
    rm /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep = to wakeup.sh

    METHOD 2 : MANUAL INSTALLATION
    Those having difficulties with azbox plugin installation mechanism may choose this method.
    1. Rename PriorityManager.plugin as PriorityManager.tgz and extract files with an unzip
    tool like winrar, 7-Zip, etc.

    2. Upload PriorityManager folder to azbox under /PLUGINS folder.

    3. chmod 755 everything in PriorityManager folder and its sub folders.

    4. Run following command in TELNET: /PLUGINS/PriorityManager/sh/install.sh

    5. Check user defined parameters in /DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt and edit
    parameters if you want, save the file.

    6. Activate plugin from the plugins menu: PLUGINS-->PriorityManager-->Activate/Reactivate

    7. After the first run of the script standby.sh and wakeup.sh scripts will be created
    under /DISK2/etc . These scripts will help to main script for the decision of the sleep
    mode by creating and deleting a file ( /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep ) If you have already
    standby.sh and wakeup.sh in /DISK2/etc, they will be backed up by installation process
    in the same directory. Then you may want to manually add below commands to scripts
    before running Priority Manager:
    echo 0 > /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep = to standby.sh
    rm /tmp/PriorityManager_Sleep

    Indeed, great job. So silly for Opensat not to help developers. It's in their interest.

    YES !!!!

    Great work, m8....

    Thank you so much for keeping this boxes "alive".
    This is, by far, the best addon/plugin for this box.

    Keep Rocking.

    trying to use cron to update EPG but its not working, must be doing something stupid because if i enter ./wakeup.sh at the command prompt, EPGmgr works OK. I am using the time of the box, 10:30am in the crontab, which is 11:30 UK DST time.

    Any ideas?





    This is the /Download/bin/wakeup.sh file:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Copy this file to the correct area:
    # cp wakeup.sh /DISK2/etc
    # This is only needed if the firmware doesn't preserve the EPG
    cd /Download/bin/
    ./azboxepg -a


    AZBox[bin]$ crontab -l
    # THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES, ADD YOUR ENTRIES WITHOUT LEADING #
    30 10 * * * /Download/bin/wakeup.sh
    # 50 20 * * 0 /opt/rsync.sh
    # 0 10 * * 4 /DATA/hdb1/EPG/update.sh

    I tested priority manager with FW 0.9.4931. But channel-switching in TV mode is a little slower with priority-manager as without.

    Your cron entry seems OK to me. Is your cron active when seeing ps log?

    ps | grep crond

    Hmm,

    There is no change in the nice values of TV mode between v1.3 and v1.5, so I'm suspecting another firmware related bug that I suffer too. There is a problem in latest firmwares while using TV Mode with or without PM, but it's a bit random. This happens in firmwares between 4890-4923. I reported here:

    http://forum.azbox.com/index.php/topic,519.0.html

    If this is the problem, you should have faster response 10-15 minutes later. If CRTVCore uses too much cpu (bug case) with or without PM you'll have a slower TV browsing experience. Could you please take top command outputs for with and w/o PM and send me a PM if your TV browsing is still slow?

    Any ideas?





    This is the /Download/bin/wakeup.sh file:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Copy this file to the correct area:
    # cp wakeup.sh /DISK2/etc
    # This is only needed if the firmware doesn't preserve the EPG
    cd /Download/bin/
    ./azboxepg -a


    AZBox[bin]$ crontab -l
    # THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES, ADD YOUR ENTRIES WITHOUT LEADING #
    30 10 * * * /Download/bin/wakeup.sh
    # 50 20 * * 0 /opt/rsync.sh
    # 0 10 * * 4 /DATA/hdb1/EPG/update.sh
    # * * * * /DISK2/etc/test1.shAZBox[bin]$

    Try putting a & after the ./azboxepg -a in wakeup.sh. also the times used by cron are the box times.

    will try that when the kids get off the TV !!

    The cron service is working, as i have a test one running which just prints the date to a file every 5 mins.

    Note for others:

    1. changes to the crontabs/root file does not take effect immediately, you have to restart the plugin.

    2. you have to leave the upgrade busybox=1 on all the time if you want the latest version used. Its not a permanent upgrade, if you switch it back off(=0), upon next restart/reboot it goes back to older busybox version.

    3. previous NFS mount option "intr 0 0" wont work with the later busybox version

    off topic, can someone talk to EPG azopen creator? Because morser( maz creator from azboxhd.es ) managed to fix EPG stuff in his plugin, but it's too heavy, not like azopen, maybe azopen creator could adopt his changes, till opensat send us new SDK fixed.

    thats may have fixed it, azepgmgr has just kicked of per the cron set up. Will have this run each night since i always leave the box on. thx
