scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.31 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin

I did forget an important step which is that you must always uninstall the previous dev version first. So to test an upgrade you either install the production version first after the uninstall, or to test a clean install just run the install command. But in any case you must always do an uninstall of the previous version first.

OK, will do so right now...

For me, no observable changes from previously reported issues on my Gt-AX6000 with the 3006.102.4 version.

Check my last message for clarity.

That is what I did for all three devices: uninstall, followed by clean install. I will try the 3004.388 device again as that is the one that deviates from the behavior of the other two.

Houston, we have a liftoff!!!

Congratulation

Everything is OK.

I tested on both my routers from multiple devices and it works on initial login for me. What browser and OS? Can you try via a Windows device if it makes a difference? I've tried Android and Windows so far.

Chrome on macOS 15.5. Give me a few minutes for Windows.

Bingo - all issues solved for me. It's now working as it should (as I understand it).

Thanks guys, it sounds like I'm pretty much ready to submit the changes for review, just would like to get an answer to what is happening for @visortgw

My gut tells me something is different about MacOS. But if the only thing different is he has to click it to activate it and then it never breaks... I think I can live with that. I have no MacOS device to troubleshoot that one further.

Great news for all users using scMerlin. Thanks again for all your effort and perseverance...
FYI, for me, to make all my addons working with 3006:

hmm, when I select Sitemap...

and

Clearing cache clears it up, under Chrome and Firefox but not Edge, but then returns, somewhere it the middle of all that, and I have't been able to reproduce the drop downs dissappearing but did see it USB menu returns to normal on clearing the cache, but also returns on restarting any browser, selecting Hide takes you to the list of USB apps and clears it up, until the next time you log in via any of the three browsers then the option returns as in the attaced screen shots

Chrome on macOS 15.5. Give me a few minutes for Windows.

Correction — Firefox on macOS 15.5. Clearing Firefox cache appears to have fixed both 3006.102 devices. Untimely USB failure appears to be issue with 3004.388. Sorry for the false alarm.

With Edge here (all dropdowns now works as expected):

Try again this should now be solved.

1. Uninstall previous dev version (my targetting only patches the production strings) - Must always uninstall previous version between testing changes.
2. Either install production version and then download my version, or simply download my version, and fresh install without downloading production first.

Below is the command to download my copy to your router:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ExtremeFiretop/scMerlin/refs/heads/master/scmerlin.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/scmerlin" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/scmerlin"

If you are doing a "FRESH" install; you will need to also run:

sh /jffs/scripts/scmerlin install

Otherwise if it's an upgrade from an existing install; you will need to launch scMerlin from amtm (option j3)
Then run a force update (option uf)

3. Retest anmd confirm you no longer see the __HIDE__ menu.

I may not have been clear enought, this reply was only intented to let @aex.perez know that for me on Edge everything was working as expected.
But I you want me to (nevertheless) run that new version then I will gladly do so (may take some time as I am busy at the present time).

I understood but the screenshot you shared still showed the __Hide__ even if it's not really problem. So I went ahead and removed it from the sitemap function

OK then I will go ahead with the new version.

Confirmed, I no longer see the _HIDE_ menu under "Network Map" and all the dropdowns are working as expected:

Good work

 

[aex.perez]

Confirming that it’s working without the __Hide__
Tested it on Chrome on the iPhone using SSH with a clean install over VPN. Will test the other browsers on Windows later this evening.

Well, on Edge, Chrome and Firefox on Windows, after browsing around and going to sitemap the __Hide__ appears on Network Map and USB Application. A control F5 eliminates it, but browsing around it comes back up again, then Control F5 to make it go away until it comes back up.

Uninstalled and clean reinstall folllowed by a UF in the script. on the iPhone, since I rarely login via the browser I didn't test it extensively as I have on the PC. But it's simply a minor cosmetic issue, completly functional in every other aspect I tested.

Going do another round of uninstall/download/reinstall/UF and try again, just to be sure.

Edge and Chrome
With Firefox, get drop downs, goto sitemap, still get drop downs, goto Network Map, no drop down
In all cases started the browser fresh, Control-F5, then at login another Control-F5, then sitemap, then confirmed the __Hide__ was gone, then Network Map, only on Firefox did they fail.

But now thinking about it HTTP with Edge and Chrome, HTTPS with Firefox, trying again across all three with HTTP then HTTPS
Just Firefox with the blemish, both protocols, the others fine. Control-F5 or a logout/login and the drop downs come back.
Completely functional in every other aspect on 388
