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

yeah still crashes with standard skin. but it didnt crash with the standard skin when i first set the box up.

its only started crashing since changing skins and now even after uninstalling the added skins and going back to stock it still crashes.

i installed it via ipk along with the components ipk.

i may just try a reflash and install as it seems odd it was working fine before changing skins. i think something has gone wrong somewhere

i installed XE before first before changing any skins, i checked it all out and everything was working with the various skins that come with vix. i didnt really likke any of them though so then i tried installing yours. it was only after changing the skin it started crashing so i uninstalled the skin but it still crashed on the stock skin.

so past that i thought id ask on here as i thought it was maybe just a vix compatability issue. as its the first time ive used vix.

if you think it should work on vix ill try a fresh flash

yeah i can ftp to the box. ill have a look in the file, im not that sure what im looking for though, do you want a screenshot of the file system or the file?

cheers

cheers really appreciate that. yeah ive flashed boxes and use ftp etc before but apart from changine skins and installing plugins from putty thats about the most ive done.

if your skin should work on the newest vix image im more than happy to try a reflash. can have it back to this stage in 20 mins, its a new box anyway.

I just assumed with it being the first time ive used vix it could be a compatability issue but more likely something has gone tits in the image files

haha yeah I bet! I dont wanna take loads of your time so ill do a clean flash and only install your skin without doing anything else and see if it sorts it. then ill add XE after and see if it causes a crash.

Cheers!

Morning, just wanted to give you an update.

I did a clean flash an reinstalled XE and your skin. After that it was working but then started setting up the view in EPG with picons, number of rows etc and font size. It then started crashing again but I've been able to fix it by changing some settings back on the EPG setup pages.

If your interested I can send you the most recent crash log.

Currently it's working fine though.

Thanks for your help

this is the last 720 skin I maintained. Not been updated since 2019 and no idea if it still works with openatv 6.4

Doesn't need separate custom components installing, as they built into the 1 ipk.

Thanks KiddaC - this has sorted my Start H2 on openATV 6.3 out. Well, it still boots now at least - and the EPG comes up! Further functionality to be investigated.

im currently using slyk 1080 v 1.004 skin

i want to install the latest enigma2-plugin-skins-slyk1080r19_2.13_20191117_all.ipk

can i just install over the top of what i have right now and ill keep all my settings or will i have to set every thing up again

thanks

what is the custom components ipk that will need to install

is it the 3 openvix ipks in the extras folder in your drop box

thanks

Skins don't change settings.

But new slyk 1080 you have to make sure you install the new custom components ipk first. That is a seperate install.

It is probably better to switch to default skin first.
Uninstall old skin then re-install the new version.
