It seams that restart network is not working.

[urie57]

I do not get crash but network link is lost after trying to restart network

[IanSav]

I have been assigned to investigate this issue. I am unable to reproduce the issue so can I please have more information. In my case I am using a wired network using DHCP to get all the network parameters.

Can anyone with the issue please give me more information so that I can reproduce the problem.

I don't seem to have any problems with restarting the network.I select restarting the network the network restarts.There is no link. The network test passes without errors.The link appears but the channel must be restarted for the image to appear.Also wired connection with DHCP.

I had Use DHCP set to no since I had device ipaddress assinged on router, I have since set Use DHCP to yes and now I do not lose network connection when I restart network.

I have noticed that if I have wireguard plugin connected and I Reset network connection via network settings i do lose connection but if i restart network via wireguard plugin i do not lose connection.

Hard coding IP addresses within clients that are not reserved on the DHCP server can be very problematic. I always recommend that users assign a single IP address to match the MAC address of their receiver within their router/DHCP server that is always allocated to the one device. That receiver device should always be configured to get its IP address (and other network data) from that router/DHCP server.

I have needed to set use DHCP back to no again in network settings, when i rebooted stb no internet connection.
And yes I alway manually assing ipaddress on reciever to match one reserved in router.
So im now back to my normal settings,

The channel will only not continue if it is StreamRelay or IPTV. That's by design.

by link I am talking about green indicator in network settings nothing to do with iptv stream relay or what ever

[jbleyel]

The Network code will be refactored because it's not 100% stable.

[jbleyel]

There is another issue about restart network.

#2468

[kiddac]

I posted a reply on this. Was it deleted. Or did it not post.

Summarising again.
VU Zero 4k - wired connection.

Use interface: Yes
IEnable IPV6: No
Use DHCP: YES
DNS: Cloudflare

Crash happens if you click Network MAC Settings, after restart Network message.

Test without new About.pyc file on openatv 7.4 build 5th Sept 2024

ok wireguard connected i go to network settings and green light on link

I do network test everything is ok

I then do restart network in network settings link has turned to red

I do network test again I have lost internet IP address unconfirmed and nameserver unconfirmed

need to reboot reciever to get network and internet connection again.

Now testing with wireguard not connected
Network device settings green light on link

And now done Restart network link light has turned to red

now I try network test again everything is ok

but if i do network restart via wireguard even with wireguard not connected green light on link is there.

Now test with new About.pyc file.
same test but almost same results,

but if i restart network a few times eventually it does start but link still red but found out if i exit network settings and go back in link lght is green

@urie57 I only fixed the crash on mac address, Network code needs to be fixed.

my mistake sorry.

[majewskikarol]

Is someone fixing it?

Is it possible that I can't access my Vuplus when using wireguard connection (server on ubiquiti unifi gateway) because of this bug?
I have no problems accessing vuplus on lan, but through VPN. All other lan devices are accessible though VPN without any problems.

Any type of configuration I have no problem accessing my boxes with WireGuard, can you post your .conf file deleting the private key first?
