If the plugin does not work, please install: curl. Once installed, set: Groq only.

Code

opkg install curl

The initial idea for audio translations is excellent.

Of course, it is possible to have an accurate and smooth translation in all languages for now.

My suggestion would be for this player to be integrated into Enigma and for channels to be switched, and not to be like some media player, of course, if possible.

Once again, all praise to the author for the idea.

I am going to tell you off now ammarbary

Whats the point of asking for help from more experienced coders then obfuscating all your code.
Yes its a simple obfuscate that is easily decompiled, but it is still annoying.
The whole point of enigma2 community is you keep your code open, so others can read it, assist with it, make sure there is nothing dodgy in it. And other people can learn from it.

This is not a plugin I would ever use, but I like the idea of this plugin.
So I was going to have a look at your source code. (Yes I have it now), and address some of the issues some people are reporting.

My friend, I apologize for encrypting the latest version, although I know it won't be difficult for professionals to decrypt.

However, I did this because of those with weak souls who steal the efforts of others, claim them as their own, and modify and republish them under different names.

I mentioned in my first post that the plugin is free, and I welcome any modifications from professionals to help develop it. But after what happened, I decided to take this path.

I will send you a private message so we can discuss the matter further.

The plugin is now showing me Translate...

Unfortunately, I don't see any subtitles.

This is where I am currently at offline with tweaking ammarbary's code.

Corrected Icon
pasted-from-clipboard.png

Split out the entire code into smaller workable files. This is just the way I work, and is easier to maintain and debug
plugin, settings, subtitles overlay

pasted-from-clipboard.png

Added the font m-plus-rounded-1c to be used by the plugin screens
This is a font I use in a lot of my plugins and has a good mutli language character list. Will work well on the settings page Language choice.
Changed the language choice options to be the native language option and reduced the list to main languages

pasted-from-clipboard.png

Removed the set list of fonts that can be used for subtitles. If a font is selected that doesn't exist on the system, it will crash.
Instead I read the usr/share/fonts/ folder and dynamically add these as font choices for use as the subtitles font.

Removed autostart for now.
It wasn't wrapped around an enabled settings, so would always run. This would also break the default functionality of the red button.
I think the current implementation would also create a modal popup crash.

Grog key is read from file if it doesn't already exist in settings file.

Removed the named colours and replaced with hex values. If the named colours don't exist in the users skin, the plugin will crash

Wrapped all text in a translatable label, so .po files can be created.

Settings page
Completely simplified the settings page code. It was massively over complicated trying to do things that there is already built in functions that do the same thing.
Redesigned the settings page to be a bit more standard layout.
Changed all the wording and options - removed headers as headers just adds complication.
Changed the font size option to be fully user choice. From 21 to 72 in steps of 3.
Fixed the green button (save)
Added in a dreambox settings skin alternative as it uses slightly different elements.

pasted-from-clipboard.png

Now for the real work. Got to now see how the audio is being read. How groq API works.
And work out why its a little slow and completely crashes after a short while.

Overall if this is your first plugin - I haven't changed that much code. Just standardised it.

I am not sharing anything with my experiments at the moment. Until I have finished looking at this original code.

Unfortunately, it wasn't helpful. Although it seemed promising, after testing, it didn't add anything useful to the plugin.
Thanks for trying to help

work great on opbh

littlesat · Dec 31st 2025

Why not put it on GitHub…?

çobanyıldızı · Dec 31st 2025

1.I added the `.usr lib enigma2 pyton plugin` file without doing anything else.

2.I also added the other file to `.etc enigma2` by manually entering the keys. I got this error.

What should I do?

JackRiper · Dec 31st 2025

I try againe on open atv 7.5.1 on vuzero4k not working even when i install curl

jak111 · Dec 31st 2025

This worked well for me on Open ATV 7.5.1 on the Octagon SF 8008

tfrc · Dec 31st 2025

I have observed that the plugin works better and faster with IPTV channels.

It is in fact so fast, that sometimes translation comes even before it's spoken!

This made me think that maybe the iptv address is being used for a direct connection, rather than waiting for sound files being sent over.

If true, this could be a good thing for free channels, but wouldn't it be risky for paid subscriptions? (double connection)

Probably just my imagination, and will be corrected by the author, to whom I'd like to thank once more for this work!

Octagon SF8008 openatv working well on many images openatv 7.6 & 7.5.1, pure2,openbh,openvix,egami (language croatian,serbian)

any short key to active subtitles on channels or video playing

passata · Jan 1st 2026

You can add a shortkey button with Hotkey

çobanyıldızı · Jan 1st 2026

"Sample Subtitle Preview Text." This text appears in the subtitle section. Which file do I need to modify to create the subtitles? Not everyone is an expert in this area.

trying with openatv 7.6 dream two , loaded all keys, installed curl , still nothing shown on the screen , arabic translation
