I tried running it from /mod rather than /mod/webif and it appears to have worked:

Strange, I thought I'd posted amended instructions (as well as amending the original ones), but you got the idea anyway!
 
@/df you had updated the instructions but I did not refer to them after you had done that. I saved the instructions to a text file for future reference.
Still all's well that ends well - thanks again
 
The 'queue' problem has returned on both my boxes. Set to delete after 7 days the queue now has entries going back to 28th July.
Any ideas please ? Anyone else seeing this ?

Edit: I have had a few crashes recently and, rightly or wrongly, run the fix-flash-packages diagnostic. I have a sneaking suspicion that the patch is being overwritten by this.
I will try reinstalling the patch and see what happens.

Have you reinstalled anything and thereby lost the patch?
What does the following produce? Different to mine (excluding timestamp)?
Code: 
humax ~ # ls -l /mod/webif/lib/queue.class
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6363 Sun 30 May 2021 23:07:18 /mod/webif/lib/queue.class
humax ~ # grep "\[list" /mod/webif/lib/queue.class
        return [queue dbqueryl [list { {
        } } [list {
 
Thanks @prpr - I have rerun the patch and it is working fine again. Can only assume the fix-flash-diagnostics did it as I have done nothing else installation wise.

Just turn the disabling off: touch /mod/boot/no_plugin_autodisable
It won't stop the stupid message (that's probably worthy of another WebIf patch) but you can safely ignore it.
 
Here's a rollup of fixes since 1.4.9-6 (mostly from @/df and one or maybe two from me), as there seems to be no signs of anything coming down the normal beta channel.

Edit: See here for update.

Changelog or it didn't happen :)

It looks like these are the changes.

* Play file in browser or with external helper application

* Fix incorrectly constructed query list, restore purging completed entries

* Fixes and improvements for bookmark viewer

* Improve processing and display of custom encryption key

* Detect RO filesystems in disk check

* Improve translation of last boot reason (link?)

The package includes .orig versions of lib/system.class and lib/ts.class which might not have been intended.

Yes (IMHO). There isn't one.

You're correct of course. I want to curse patch sometimes. I don't really see why it feels the need for trivial cases like this. It's a constant problem.
You missed another one - html/diag/queue/script.js

Updated the links above to make it 1.4.9-6c

This seems to be in the master branch that I thought was the basis of 1.4.9-6, even though the files are dated May 28 which is a month later than the last commit.
Code: 
# git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Am I meant to see "Select Pending" and "Select Failed" buttons (I didn't, even when I had a Pending entry)?

I guess af123 has the same hassles with patch then.

My script.js (in 1.4.9-6c) is dated Feb 24 (like in 1.4.9-6), so that appears to be your problem!

Yes.

You can install as follows from the command prompt (or Webshell etc.):
Code: 
humax# cd /tmp
humax# wget https://dl.dropbox.com/s/l9r7a5xad43nmz9/webif_1.4.9-6c_mipsel.opk
humax# opkg install webif_1.4.9-6c_mipsel.opk

I installed 1.4.9-6c and experienced some strange failures.

While recording and watching live TV picture breaks up with black screen (though sound continues) initially for a couple of seconds, but length of black picture increases until eventually machine lock up requiring rear switch to reboot.
This occurred three times in a row until I backed out to 1.4.9-6 - no problems since them

I have never seen that type of failure before and have no ideas how the webif changes could cause problems with live TV viewing

I will try again but not until I can experiment with test recordings.

Unfortunately the most plausible explanation is that the update is DoSing the box, an infinite recursion or similar.
 
Thanks @prpr & @/df for the ongoing development. I installed this webif on my boxes with no problem.

However my main box reported a crash so I ran fix-flash-packages, as I normally would, but also because the queue had failures as unable to find DLNA helper.

The dialogue box showed a not found error installing webif 1.4.9-6d.

Closing the dialogue and clicking on an icon goes to the index of/ screen.

A reboot goes to the install web interface screen.

Installation fails looking for webif 1.4.9-6d

I have managed to reinstall webif from the dropbox version as before.

I am working again, but wonder if a longer term solution is needed. Perhaps fix-flash-packages and install web interface on CF & telnet should default to the last version in the repository, or possibly to the Dropbox version if not found in repository.

If this becomes an ongoing issue, how can I revert back to the repository version?

It would, for the reasons you've thought.

Based on this post, the following restores 1.4.9-6:
Code: 
cd /mod/tmp
wget -U '' http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/base/webif_1.4.9-6_mipsel.opk
opkg --force-downgrade --force-depends install webif_1.4.9-6_mipsel.opk
rm webif_1.4.9-6_mipsel.opk

That sounds like a good idea, but will require more non-repository modifications! Chicken and egg. A work-around would be for you to disable package disabling, making fix-flash-packages redundant:

Run the diagnostic called plugin_autodisable/off

...following which you will still get the WebIF message if there was a crash immediately after boot, but nothing will have been disabled to need fix-flash-packages.
