    How many epgs do we need???

    Do people actual realise how many epgs there are. It is ridiculous.

    Using my Slyk Q skin (maybe not the best example as I skin a lot of the screens to look the same some european skins have lots more elements shown in these screens)

    ChannelSelection :thumbs up:
    pasted-from-clipboard.png

    SimpleChannelSelection - epg search > menu > import from EPG (meant to be just a simple list in some skins to quickly select a channel)
    pasted-from-clipboard.png


    SlimChannelSelection - alternative channel list service mode - available via context menu (why is it called slim when it should be called alternative, and even more confusing its called simple in the settings) :thumbs up:

    GraphicalEPGPIG :thumbs up:

    GraphicEPG :pleading face:

    multi epg / EPGSelectionMulti (legacy - replaced by channelselection) :thumbs down:

    .... And ChannelSelectionRadio (if skinned differently than channelselect - same in my skins)

    1080-slyk-r19 2.23 on vix I get a crash


    In the skin.xml it's named as s-channelselection.xml but the XML file is named s-ChannelSelection.xml


    I just renamed it in the skin.xml and it was fine

    That's what I ended up doing. The skin.xml has it named s-channelselection.xml I just edited it to s-ChannelSelection.xml

    dsayers  KiddaC renaming s-ChannelSelection.xml to s-channelselection.xml also solved the problem with EPGSelection screen not showing channels

    but you must use this version version of epgselection.py or epg settings menus do not work

    and epglist.py from Commits on Mar 29, 2023 https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/commit/0c8fc80762d78b1e28291e5fdcaceb6b3bfddab6

    oops... Yeah I am in the process off making all my skin files similar. That name error has been corrected offline.
    I will be doing a new release tonight of slyk q, slyk 1080 and onyx with my latest faffs.

    I noticed the update on Slyk 1080 (R19) Version 2.24 has been updated. The ipk looks ok but GitHub is still the same "s-ChannelSelection.xml"

    Can I use openatv 6.4 and just build from scratch using all the flies from post one for skin 1080 r19 on xtrend 1000, ie just follow guidelines. I dont need any special plugins so not bothered about feeds. I tried 7.2 but mods wont load eg the one that shows recordings in the epg green button and thats wanted by the user,


    In other words will the latest updated skins work ok with 6.4? Hope I am making sense.

    I have submitted this pull request. I presume that windows sees the two files as identical names, that is why the issue occurred.


    Alternatively, please rename the file on the GitHub website as windows won't see the change in case as a change.

    Until I amend the epg mod. (which might not happen)
    You can actually still use it with openatv 7.3 ... but you have to use an old EpgList.py file from openatv github dated March 2023

    Install the epg mod then copy the attached file to

    /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components

    The attached EpgList.py only works with my epg mod. Dont install if you haven't got my epg mod installed.

    if it is a plugin for example you use the hold flag :


    Code
    opkg flag hold enigma2-plugin-extensions-jedimakerxtream  #( Stop package updates from feed )
    
opkg flag user enigma2-plugin-extensions-jedimakerxtream #(Release package update which is on hold so it can update )

    esuo2
    for your own personal skin mods make your mods in a skin user file. Those files then overwrite the skin files.

    i.e.


    /etc/enigma2

    copy the screens you have modded into a new skin_user file

    skin_user_slyk-1080-r19.xml

    skin_user_slyk-onyx-1080.xml

    skin_user_slyk-q-1080.xml


    Code
    <skin>
<screen>
....
</screen>
<screen>
....
</screen>
</skin>

    Thats a manual job. Easiest way is probably just make a copy of it locally and just reupload when you need to.

    But why bother keep doing an opkg upgrade at the moment when there are 100s of commits being done on openatv. Who knows what they are breaking.

    I upgrade when I crash my box nowadays. Cant be bothered with all this chaos.

    i thought we had fixed that


    anyway, i don't use this screen. So you will have to faff yourself.

    openatv now has a new parameter in skin.xml


    <parameter name="ChoicelistVerticalAlignment" value="*top"/>


    we also have the offset here


    <parameter name="ChoicelistNameSingle" value="68,5,887,45"/>

    <parameter name="ChoicelistName" value="68,5,887,45"/>


    So i don't know why its not working. Are you using the latest version of onyx.

    Not only do I have modifications with the skins, I do the same with Xstreamity, I like to tweak the font and some colour settings

    can I still do that with skin_user file? since it's not an .XML file but a .py file


    regards.

    in fact i think a lot of those parameters in skin.xml might be wrong. Lots are set at 45px height. When select bars in onyx are 72px.


    <parameter name="ChoicelistNameSingle" value="68,15,887,72"/>


    is probably better.
