How to enable toppicks

Toppicks is now enabled by default and appears on Menus and Bouquet selector.
Install the toppicks ipk in the zip on the first post.

make sure these 2 script files have executable rights.

/usr/script
(/usr/scripts for openvix)

skypicker.sh
skyscraper.sh
Right click the file in your ftp software and edit file permissions to 755 or execute checked for owner/group/public.

How to disable toppicks
Comment out the toppicks import line …

Hi matey,

Not sure what's happened.

I'm on openatv 6.4

Onyx for example was working fine until I decided to have a go at a few other skins via the feeds. Returned back to Onyx and the problem started. As I said.. it just seems to be on your skins.

I've tried an old ipk of Onyx and have also tried updating via the feeds (which as you said installed the shared components ipk first). Still missing text

Riverz
change your skin to default skin

plugins - remove plugins - skins - kiddac-shared-components (1.09)

reboot gui.

install again - attached

change skin back to onyx

Tried that pretty much before but did it again.. sadly no joy ☹️

Thanks for the new updates. Just an FYI installing on openvix 6.0.008.

The ipk shared dependencies errors out as already exists (currently v9). The skin update also errors with dependency issues, however it resolves and downloads and installs shared v10 and then installs the skin update successfully.

So it appears if you need to upgrade the skin , just use the skin ipk.

For anyone using my skins on openatv 7.0 I have pushed some updates to the skin files to prevent the messagebox popup crashing.

Openatv 7.1 works and stops the crashes but only if I overwrite the q-general.xml as you previously posted for me. Have you pushed the correct skin as mentioned in #908 above as this still crashes. Bottom line is both 7.0 and 7.1 fix the Jedi & Xstreamity crashes I was getting once I overwrite that file.

please note: this thread is not a general enigma2 skin thread.

If you have a general enigma2 skin question not related to my skins, please start a new post in the correct section... here..

thanks

tbe ok I installed openatv 7.0 from last week

I can get the crash.

But...

I don't know why my amended code actually fails

I changed my skin code to

count = 0

if self.list:

count = len(self.list)

which should not read the len value if self.list = None

but it still does.

So if I change it to

count = 0

if self.list is not None:

count = len(self.list)

all is good. Weird.

I will update my skins again

Finally fixed my virtual keyboard selection after about 3 years. (it needed an odd number key size. I had 68, changed it to 67 )
I don't care what they say, their code is still wrong as you can't layer a png with slight opacity over the top to highlight selection

I have also totally redone my messagebox code - much neater code

Just got to do my consolebox code and I will reupload all my skins (again)

**tbe** · Mar 21st 2022

Hi KiddaC, sorry about this but Jedi and Xstreamity still crash with the updated skin unless I overwrite the q-general.xml file you previously sent. Once this file has been applied the crashes do not happen and the number bouquets completed message box appears correctly. Same with Xstreamity and the Manual EPG Update option. Set this up on a clean install of openatv 7.1 will try a clean openatv 7.0 and see if the same and get back to you but assume it will be. Thanks as always.

UPDATED; As expected v7.0 also still has the same issue regarding Jedi & Xstreamity

**KiddaC** · Mar 21st 2022

tbe, this cant possible still be happening.

I download openatv 7.0 from this week. It had the error.

I update my skins, I no longer have this error.

Have you actually checked the skin file on your box.

q-general

and the messagebox code should now look like this

Notice line 22 below. It is checking self.list is not None.

Your orignal error was because openatv made this self.list = None.

Python

        <applet type="onLayoutFinish">from enigma import getDesktop, eSize, ePoint
desktop_w = getDesktop(0).size().width()
desktop_h = getDesktop(0).size().height()
listcount = 0
iconsize = 53
itemheight = 45
padding = 45

maxwidth = desktop_w - 120
minwidth = desktop_w  // 2

listwidth = self["list"].instance.size().width() + (iconsize + padding)
if listwidth &gt; maxwidth:
    listwidth = maxwidth
    
if listwidth &lt; minwidth:
    listwidth = minwidth

maxtextwidth = listwidth
minheight = iconsize

if self["list"] and self.list is not None:
    listcount = self["list"].count()
    if itemheight*listcount &gt; minheight:
        minheight = itemheight*listcount

And you can probably get this crash quicker my hitting record button on live tv, to open up the choicebox record options.

**tbe** · Mar 21st 2022

I will switch to a clean install later and check it out, what I am doing is a clean install of openatv 7.* and then installing enigma2-plugin-skincomponents-kiddac-shared-skin_1.10_all.ipk.

I restart enigma and then install enigma2-plugin-skins-slyk-q-1080_1.32.20220314_all.ipk.

Next I change the skin to the SlyQ skin and install Jedi and Xstreamity and set the settings for my suppliers and restart enigma.

When I now run Jedi and run the playlist entries to create the bouquets it hangs when it should show the information box with the number of bouquets created.

I run Xstreamity and then select the Manual EPG update and it creates the errors.

If I then replace the q-general,skin you sent me the other day and restart enigma and try Jedi and Xstreamity again they both work.

Do you see anything wrong in what I am doing?

**KiddaC** · Mar 21st 2022

We are on version 1.34 now ;)

The problem is not xstreamity or jedi. The problem is showing any message box or choice box.
So its crashing at the end of jedi build bouquets, because that is when a messagebox is shown

Just like if you were in playlists and hit blue, to delete playlist. You will get a messagebox.

.. or press record button on live sat tv to get choicebox.
