    I learnt python via a book (pdf), called Python Crash Course. PM me if you want a copy.


    But you basically have to throw yourself in the deep end and see if you swim.


    But its just a case of downloading someone elses simple plugin (in fact lots of plugins) and reading through the code. Trying to make sense of it.

    There is no official reference. Its actual all I did a few years ago, and I write plugins for everything now :)

    Here are some of my posts and tools that might help you

    How to manually extract/upload an IPK file to a Dreambox.
    As I have no one to create my .deb files at the moment and relying on the kindness of others when they have time.
    Here are instructions on how to use the IPK files to upload to your Dreambox device.
    It isn't difficult please just have a go without constantly asking for the .deb file.

    Download 7zip.

    Download the IPK

    Locate your downloaded IPK and right click... open with

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

    Enigma2 is all module based
    So you have to import the necessary modules and elements you require.
    Then you write your own code around these modules.


    Enigma2 is the main component.


    Screens is referencing the screen component (basically which allows you to create a skinned page on screen. for example openatv. This is referencing this location on github

    https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/tree/master/lib/python/Screens

    these files live locally on your box here. That is where they are being referenced to in a plugin.
    /usr/lib/enigma2/python/

    But they will be compiled on your box. PYC or PYO.
    So you have to check github to see the uncompiled version and see what is inside them.

    There is something I am looking for a solution to, and that is why I want to understand Enigma 2. It is that when I watch a football match and I want to hear the commentary in Arabic, I use the ipaudiopro plug-in, but the broadcast is ahead of the sound source, so I have to delay the broadcast using the time-shift feature, but this feature is useless. There is another feature that exists. In very cheap devices called video dealay, this feature is excellent for such matters. Is there a way to add it?

    Well if you got an issue with that plugin. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
    Why not raise your query with ziko

    or there is another plugin by oottppxx callled budweiser that does similar things

    Thread
    Budweiser plugin
    I've created https://github.com/oottppxx/en…/master/plugins/budweiser to basically audio dub a service audio w/some other stream, using gstreamer and other binaries already present in the box.

    Although not just a radio plugin, it works nicely overlapping internet radio streams over the current service audio.

    Let me know about any questions that aren't answered in the README, or any suggestions.

    It is not a problem in Plugin, but rather it depends on this time-shift feature of it. Unfortunately, the code is interrupted for a fraction of a second, causing the time-shift to be migrated, and it ends with having to adjust it again.
