  • Hacking the pointless change of EPGImportConfg which was changed in March to use the Setup screen with no fallback for the old screenname.

    statusbar does not correspond to footnote. A footnote is something tiny that appears at the bottom. Which is why this original amend broke everyone's skins for EPG importer.

    Yes thats more like what we are used to and we can read the text, so would this need to be done at github i,e, Lululla now seems to be one maintaining EPGimport now not jbleyel.

    Or is it just for your skins ?

  • Jbleyel refactored all the code in March. So instead of this screen having its own code and elements - he decided to just use the Setup screen.

    So this broke any existing skins that skinned this screen. This is because status and statusbar were replaced with the Setups footnote element.
    The footnote in most skins is little and discrete due to the fact in Setup screen, it normal just says *Restart GUI required.

    It wasn't the best idea to re-use footnote as a replacement for statusbar. And thats me being polite.

  • my conversation is purely related to epg importer plugin screens. It is not relevant to 3rd party weather apps.

    I have had to basically edit the Setup screen with some onlayoutfinish hacks to move things around for epgimporter screen, that is all.

  • that was was a bit more difficult, but go there in the end.

    Yes looking great . and off subject have you checked hard drive for 0 byte .xz files I have had to revert to cron to run removexz.sh script


    Bash
    #!/bin/sh
    #
    
    # Remove left over epgimporter files #
    
    rm -rf /media/hdd/*.xz > /dev/null 2>&1
    
    exit 0

    even though it was fixed it seems it is down to server problems.

  • Hello. Im using slyk q 1080. The problem is that the greek and some other characters are not the same as the english ones. How can i make the look exactly the same with the english ones?

  • As this skin is based on SKY UK

    The font used is a SKY font.


    I just tried this in photoshop to see if its a font issue or an enigma2 issue.

    Unfortunately its a font issue as there is no glyphs for greek characters in that font, so its using a fallback font for greek characters for you.

    In my other plugins I use Rounded Mplus 1c, which has good international language cover and nice aesthetics

    You can actually use any font you want in skins. You just have to hope its roughly the same size as the original font that everything was designed around.


    Copy the ttf file to the skins font folder.

    /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080/fonts/

    Then amend the reference to that font file in

    /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080/skin.xml

    You can also use any font that your image has and just change the reference to one of those. /usr/share/fonts/...
    These all will have greek characters: dejavu sans, liberation sans, roboto. dejavu sans is probably the nicest out the 3 (in fact that is what is being used in your screenshot)

  • one question:


    where can I change the colors of the epg-bars (I mean the events...now-next-selected) ?

    I tried in q-epg.xml...no success...also changed some blue color codes in skin.xml....(always reloaded gui)

    and seem it is no screenbar in the screenbar folder that looks like this...all on Egami or OpenATV (baseskin is Slyk-Q)

    maybe someone can give a tip...?

  • By the way that is not my skin - its a mod.


    EPG selected bars - you have 2 options.


    If you press menu / settings - on that screen - you can either set it to graphics or text.

    If graphics - The graphics live in the epg folder.

    If set to text. The colours come from the xml file.

    q-epg.xml - GraphicalEPGPIG


    those named colours live in skin.xml

  • This has me intrigued using openvix on uno4kse and sly q skin I can see enable automatic collections but not using kiddac essentials, using old method for updating picker. But on a zgemma h7s using vix 6.7 and sly q with essentials I have no option to enable automatic collections. 6.7.017 on zgemma h7s and 6.7018 on uno.


    Where have I gone wrong?
