-UPDATED- Elite FHD for OpenATV

:) you are asking me a question about something I answered 7 months ago.

I have died, had emergency bowel surgery, spent 2 months in hospital since then

This is how I work. It might help you find your own errors.

Firstly install python 3 on your computer

https://www.python.org/downloads/

Secondly you need a code editor. I prefer to use geany
https://download.geany.org/geany-1.38_setup.exe

You need a python code linter. I use pylama
Open windows power shell as administrator and type pip install pylama

Set geany to use python
build > set build commands

C:/ProgramData/Python/python -m py_compile "%f"
C:/ProgramData/Python/Scripts/pylama --max-line-length=800 --ignore=E722,W605,C901 "%f"

Then you just need to load all your python files.
Click compile. This will tell you any code that is not compatible with python 3.
Click full lint (f9 on my machine), will warn you of things to clean up.

other helpful commands in Geany.
Document > strip trailing spaces
Document > Replace Tabs with spaces (4)

Any errors, google is your friend, which will probably send you to a similar question on stackoverflow.

The hard bit is getting it work on both python 2 and python 3.

That just comes with experience and looking through any of my plugins source files, you will find lots of examples of hacks we got going on to accomplish that issue.

Then its just a case of turning on debug logs, loading your files. Crashing your box, fixing file, loading your files, crashing your box, fixing file.... rinse and repeat :)

And for skin xml files I use notepad++ with xml tools plugin added.

That will tell you any xml errors on save. Also can format code with pretty print.

and I am not to sure, but I think biko got the xtra-events working in his nitro skin, As I disected digtengs posterx plugin one night when I was bored.

... and this is how I find the screen to skin. I am actually doing this right now as I am updating some screens in my skins.

Find the screen you want. i.e Language selection
open the screen on your box.

Then in your debug logs... look to see what this screen is called.

21:18:31.8007 [Skin] Processing screen 'LocaleSelection', position=(210, 120), size=(1500x840) for module 'LocaleSelection'.

look for the screen in for example openatvs github.

https://github.com/openatv/eni…creens/LocaleSelection.py

copy the skin code to give you all the elements. Change the size, position, colours etc to personalise.

I also check metrix hd skin folder to, to see how they skin it.
/usr/share/enigma2/MetrixHD/skinfiles

My health is reasonably fine now, but I know the lazy summer brain attitude...

I am just looking at this screen, and thinking feck it, its too hot, and I cant be bothered :)

I will wait until its cold rainy and miserable.

Quote from KiddaC

and i'm not sure, but i think biko has launched xtra-events in its nitro skin.

yes, at first 75% or more of the problem is the compatibility of skin components for working with py2 and py3

o xtraevent yes, it works great on py3 only OBH 5.1 which require special version 3.3

latest version 5.2 is compatible with all py3

ps:

The biggest library I have to deal with for the skin py3 component is the one for the Polish developer @ J00zek

I thought he was Russian, and oktuscorrected me that he was Polish

does this skin works with openpli py2.

hi

Skin is not loading epg image with me on OpenATV 7.2
