    But I don't know if I am being asked something, or told something


    Not offending you in any way, I wouldn't dare. Just expressing my appreciation and my findings. Just doubting now if I've gone wrong with installation. Cron timers seem to be working :-)

    Are you using the EPG mods ipk?


    I have just installed the skin from the plugin server, it works without a crash when pressing the EPG button on a GB UE 4K.

    No not using the mod. Did a clean install. What is weird is the EPG button works initially and then give it a few mins and it will only then crash. As I said, only affects my ZGemma boxes. This is not a new thing as did the same on previous VIX 5.3 images. I did install a few other plugins so will re-test now just to rule anything out.

    I was having an issue with crashes while scrolling through the EPG or Channel List in Onyx. After checking the logs (with some significant help from Xpto) it was determined it was picon related.


    We inserted a line into the Slyk18Picon.py file to help us identify the specific picon(s) causing the crash. The picon itself seemed fine so we inserted exception handling in the py to avoid the crash. Thought you might want to take a look just in case anyone else ever has a similar issue. The changes were made around line 226.


    Surely, the picon is the root cause, but with no obvious problems with the picon, this was a good solution.

  • There was a similar issue not so long ago, and despite my investigation I couldn't work out why a particular picon set was failing.
    It was obviously the 3rd party png compression used, but the code was changed at the time to eliminate this error.
    No other issues have been reported since until now.
    I can probably put another catch in like your attached code, but it needs slightly amending from what you have put.

    Below is the original fix.

    Are you getting an error on a python 2.7, python 3 or both.

    Just as info KiddaC when you started to make thoose amazing skin the regular Picon renderer in OE-A was not up to date like yours are.

    But today they all work just fine with scaling, transdparency and so on and all Images built on OE-A use the same Picon renderer.


    So I think you could just use the standard picon.py in your skin. I did that in the OBH release of your skin

    My problem was that OBH did crash with bad picons that was not found in the /tmp/temppicons folder.

  • hmmm, not to sure about that pal. Openatv 6.4 branch hasn't udpated its picon.py file for 3 years

    and looking at the 6.5 branch that is the same code apart from python 3 updates.

    So if that is true, they doing the magic elsewhere

    Dont remeber but think that there is a picon helper in the Tools folder ;)

    But the picons working just fine, try your self and see

  • Hi KiddaC, first time poster after starting with OATV.


    first of all thank you for the amazing work you put into these skins.


    I have a couple of questions after setting up OpenATV 6.5


    After I installed that EPG button/tab mod (version 3.0) yesterday my VU+ wouldn't boot, I had to wipe everything. I don't know what went wrong...


    And also,


    How do I set the Channel Selection Screen to look like this?

  • The epg mod is a never ending dog chasing tail scenario.

    Enigma2 code evolves and these hacks of mine have to be constantly updated. They have not been updated or checked for a while. I know there is issues with openvix, but openatv one is still working I think. Make sure you install the correct files. (openatv not vix)
    I have this on my my openatv 6.5 (build is probably june ish)

    Channel select is alternative layout as found in going into te channel select screen > menu > settings > channel list service mode > simple (reboot gui)

    Well thank you very much for your quick reply. Keep up the good work mate, those skins look amazing.

    It would be great if you could fix the OpenVIX EPGSelection hack when you get some time so it is compatible with latest updates. I know you are a busy man. Keep up the good work!

    Ask openvix if tabs can be added I think that's the only thing missing since they made epg changes. Options for coloured buttons and Ch+/- has already been added
