Installing plugins and skins on OpenPli 7 Vu+ Zero 4K with no idea if they are compatible or not

  • Sometimes I install a plugin and the message shows installed but after restart i can't find it in plugins.

    Today something strange happened, I installed 5 skins but can't find them too in Skins.

    I decided to remove other skins believing they may cause that problem, but surprisingly I found the the these plugins (which I removed) showed up again.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

  • If the skin is not compatible, or not will be installed or you will have a green screen. This was ahat happened to me too.

    Whether you installed skins for OpenPli images or other skin which is not for OpenPli , and it what way,

    as IPK or over Plugin server.

  • In what way did you uninstall skins, manually, over telnet or uninstall in image.

    Yes, this is a strange situation. It seems that something is still left, thought you are

    all saying how to delete it. Skins are sometimes difficult to uninstall.

  • First time I uninstalled them in image.

    Second time I removed them manually through DCC and deleted the skin folder.

    Then I restarted my device.

    But in both methods the skins showed up again and I can change to any of them.

  • If you install PurE2 it will be simple and efficient!

    You will have everything you need installable and compatible online, directly from your couch/chair via RCU:


    PurE2 > MENU > pManager > Cam Manager > Install CamD > yes > choose...


    or


    PurE2 > MENU > PLUGINS > choose...


    All the info is in PurE2 section...


    Pay attention to FNC plugins, specially written for PurE2 by the PurE2 Team...

  • openatv/openvix/pure2 skins will not fully work on openpli and openpli skins will not fully work on openatv/openvix/pure2.

    Some of the screen names and components are completely different. Some will display incorrectly others will crash.

    So if using openpli you have to look for specific openpli skins. If openpli is anything like other images even some of the skins in the feeds will now be old and incompatible.


    Also there has been lots of changes over the last 12 months regarding skins. If the skins you are trying to install are old, they might not have been updated by the author to work on modern images.


    The skins should still show in your skins menu though. Although if selected might the skin might not load and just default back to default skin.

  • Thank you so much for your reply.

    Now everything is clear.


    OpenPli is a perfect image actually except for the skins. You can't find the gorgeous skins as in BH or OpenBh images.

    • Official Post

    There are many nice skins for PLI have a look in this section OpenPLI Based Skins


    Skins for BH and OBH are copyright to thoose 2 image but there are several opensource skin converted to both image

    But all skins from Matrix 10 and Army are BH/OBH only skins and therfore you want find to many of them for PLI

    some ripp offs and bad copies are out there but the original quility is only find in the Skin feed of both images.


    I also think that BH/OBH are the only images with their own skinners providing skins for just the images.

  • It has its advantages for older machines, sure.


    However, when it comes to newer, more capable machines - it is lagging behind the times, sometimes seriously so...

    Btw, PurE2 has a FullHD OpenPLi skin in its feeds, if this is what you really can't do without somehow...

    But in Pure2 one can't customize arrows keys: Up and Down for zapping channels and Right and Left for volume.


    As this:

    Where did you hear that one, I wonder?


    PurE2 > MENU > Setup > System > Keyboard/RC > Button Setup > do whatever you want with the buttons... ;)


    As if that wasn't enough in Keyboard/RC you have "Extra Button setup" whereby you can do all sorts... Have a look at the screenshots, please...


    0) First de-assign whatever is already assigned to a button yoou want mapped differently. So, choose/press a button, press OK to de-assign it, Save and Exit...


    1) Again, simply press the button you want to assign a certain function to (say, ^ button above OK button) and you will see this:


    730038c07b8.jpg


    2) Then, you find the function you want to assign to it in the following menu and choose it by pressing OK:


    44e32a1bf9c6f3081af8.jpg


    3) Press the green button to Save it and that's it.


    Also, one has menus for different "Keyboards, "Keymaps" etc.


    So, remember this: PurE2 is the most malleable image around! The principle of this image is "give as much control to the user as possible"!!!


    From Estuary skin itself (see Estuary config in Plugins) to Device Manager and onwards...


    Why don't you try it and see and then come to conclusions... :)

  • Thanks indeed. I must give it a try.

    Please provide me with the image link for VuPlus Zero 4K.

    Thanks.

  • It's in your other thread on iMDB-FNC plugin by Franc, you saw it and you even thanked me for it... ;)

    So sorry to tell you that customizing the buttons in Pure2 is so COMPLICATED and at the end it doesn't work.

    If you are sure I can customize as in OpenPli, I would appreciate it so much if you could upload a backup with the function I am looking for.

    As for now I have to remove this image.

  • Obviously, if this is complicated - it's not for you...


    But I beg to differ. Have you restarted after applying the changes?

  • bestman22 I think you need to understand, most oe-alliance builds like openatv, openvix, pure2 are actually simpler to use than openpli. They are just different.

    Lose your openpli mind set, and embrace a different build. It may be a little confusing because its different from what you are used to, but once you GET IT, you will probably never go back to openpli.

    I know these boxes pretty will, but I wont use openpli as its too bare bones, and everything just seems to be a chore to do anything. More modern builds have all the plugins and functions you need.
