CrossEPG updates and enhancments coming to ViX

Just a heads up guys.

Andyblac has once again twiddled those magic fingers and has commenced a major recode of the CrossEPG plugin, from build 755 CrossEPG will use a free tuner same as ABM does to gather its data. work is still ongoing but this should give you a quick idea of how things are coming.

Once again i would like to give my personal thanks to Andyblac of the ViX image team / OE-Alliance for his continual strive to improve Enigma2 for ALL users of all images alike.

Here are a few screenshots of the new CrossEPG in action in build 755.

yeah they dont really show much but my point was that CrossEPG no longer has to switch to a radio channel to download it's database it does it via a free tuner, the same is now true of the defragment database option within CrossEPG too.

Andy has put a lot of work into this and some things may need more tweaking but overall it's ready to go. you can give it a try for your self a build 755 should be live via the online update option

Quote from Ten Below

That wasn't meant as a dig in any way pheonix so hope it did not come across that way, yes of course i will be trying it but i keep BH in flash simply because using meoboot allows me to check anything quickly before answering questions from members here on different images.

no mate i know, just saying that the screen shots are quite deceptively simplistic.
