Skin Support - Post questions for all my skins in here.

Quote from bmitie

Setting up a zgemma h7s for a family friend and they like sky look ie 1080 R19. I have loaded 4 images and at the moment using openatv 6.4 and I downloaded the skin from plugins. I then tried to do a few mods to make it look ace but I can load ipk files to box ok. However they will not install either directly or by going menu, tmp etc. I loaded some of the mods manually ie copied from another box. These were for skyscraper.

When using VUCC I get an error message

What have I missed? In other words is there another way to install the mods that I am not aware of? Or have I missed the obivious?

I am confused by this message.

"I have loaded 4 images at the moment".... 4 images as in your own graphics, or 4 images as in a teams image for 4 different boxes.

What are you having issues with, just VUCC. You don't need control center.

OpenAtv. Copy the IPKs to tmp folder. Just do custom components on its own first, then can do all the others as a batch.

Blue button for quick menu and then select Plugins > IPK Installer.

or telnet/putty way.

opkg install tmp/*.ipk

Custom Components should install without issue
Skin IPK should then install fine
Then top picks and movie planner can be installed.
Epg Mod is old and not been update for a while, images keep changing the epg code, so there is no guarantee this still works or is problem free.

If you want to start from scratch, first try deleting all the plugins via the plugin menu. Plugins / skins

Reboot your gui. Change skin back to default.

Then tidy up the stragglers.

Skin folder
/usr/share/enigma2/[skin name]

custom components

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Converter/ any file starting slyk

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/ any file starting slyk or onyx

you need to manual run your skyscraper.sh once so you got some data other wise you will have to wait until tomorrow until your data downloads

does obh have a script runner.

open atv had a job manager like this.

so if you got similar run the scraper, run the picker script. Then your images should have updated.

Note you will need to fully exit it out of any screens and then go back in to see the change.

why are my file names callled "test..." :P. Did I release the latest version without tidying up the code.

Just change the picker time cron if you want to test. i.e every 5 mins instead of every 30 mins

The picker just gets images from the already downloaded list. So you can run it as frequently as you wish.

My plugin and suls plugin use a unique custom sid to be used as a reference for the epg. Sounds like every time you are performing an update that unique ref is changing, throwing things out of sync. My Jedi plugin is based on the stream number and a few other calculations so it never changes. But suls might just be sequential. So if your provider adds or deletes a channel, then this might mess things up when an auto update is performed. Sounds plausible from what is written in that other thread

if you look in epgimport folder

etc/epgimport

you will find your source and channels files

in the channel file you will have something like this

<channel id="bbconewmid.slyk">1:0:1:029a:0296:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//example.m3u8</channel>

<channel id="bbctwohd.slyk">1:0:1:029a:0295:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//example.m3u8</channel>

this is normally a satellite reference, but as there is no sat ref, we make our own unique number.

I think you are running epgimporter, which is getting this ref.

Then running suls update, which might be changing this ref. So all day until epgimporter runs again, it might be out of sync.

So run suls update first, before your run epg importer update and then things should stay in sync.

i don't use suls plugin ever, so I don't even know how it works.
But my references never change. So there should be no mismatch if that is the reason.

You can run the 2 plugins at the same time for the same iptv provider. We will be using different file names and refs, so there will be no clash.

Create some bouquets from suls, create the same bouquets via jedi.

That way you can determine if its the plugin messing things up, or there is something wrong with your EPG sources.
