vfd conf. help

ftp the box and goto
usr/share/enigma2/display and edit the skin_display.xml file with notepad
then look for <screen name="StandbySummary"
then add the code u want to display what you need on the screen.
if its a little hard for you send me your skin_display.xml and ill do it for you.
thats the way i change it on mine.

i dont use blackhole but i think it will be the same location as mine.

this code will show date and time in standby mode only.

<screen name="StandbySummary" position="0,0" size="140,32">
<widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="0,0" size="140,22" font="FdLcD;18" halign="left" noWrap="1">
<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%a %e %b %Y</convert>
</widget>
<widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="0,15" size="120,22" font="FdLcD;22" halign="left" noWrap="1">
<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%H:%M</convert>
</widget>
</screen>

like i say if its a prob editing yourself upload the xml file and ill replace the code to show just date and time and upload the xml for you to replace yours.

he wants to show the date and clock instead of just the clock on the vfd display.
the code in his xml just displays the clock it needs to have the code added for the date to show...

the brightness is just for dimming the display it does nothing to add the date to it.

look at the code you posted for the display its telling the box to show just the clock hours minutes and seconds it needs the date added.

this is taken from him

i need to change my duo2 vfd conf. so the date and clock still showing on standby and not only the clock

i think im waisting my time.
ill stick with reading and not helping

its none of those they are the box skin is there a folder called display
if not upload the image you use and ill install it on mine then send u the moddid xml to put on yours with the location of the file u swap

its different on different images on mine its in usr share enigma2 display
tell me what image you are using and ill install that image on my box and look for it.
ill then send you the moddid file and the location when i find it.

what version of blackhole are you using?

ok give me a little time ill install it and get back to you very soon,

im just installing it now i wont be long

having a prob with my usb flash ill be back in 30mins when i get image on my box

ill have to take another look tomorrow its way different to mine ill have to do a bit more searching for the file...
check tomorrow i should have it sorted by then.

ok found it

you need to go to etc/enigma2 then delete the skin_user.xml and then replace it with this one i supplied
after that you will need to reboot the box
now when you go into standby you will have date and time.
this is the edited file you need

no problem.
