    This is a function to group recordings together. For example all soaps will be grouped together. This was added to ViX and was ported from Topfield software by Simon Capewell .


    https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/commit/e7a5e2a7237a00ab51d3c05784ef7eff2d2f055a


    Code
    Optionally group recordings by name into collections (https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/pull/646)
Collections are virtual folders, similar to those seen in the Dream EPG
Android app. They automatically group episodes of a programme together
so you don't need to create directories yourself.
The movie list displays and navigates them as if they're directories.
Delete, move and copy on collection acts on all files in the collection
There's also an option to not group if items are already organised in a
same named directory.

  • Picons per piece

    maybe examples will be best


    SNP:

    bbconelondon

    bbconeyandlhd

    bgplushd

    100nlmain

    101tvmlaga

    almalakootsatthekingdomsat


    UTF8SNP:

    bbc one london

    bbc one y&l hd

    bg+ hd

    100%nl main

    101tv málaga

    al malakoot sat – the kingdom sat الملكوت سات


    UTF8SNP is better. It uses names exactly as you see on the screen (minus protected system characters). It allows other languages and umlauts etc.

  • X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player

    I dont have any issues with xstreamity and vix 6.8. I have been on the developer image for a while and not noticed any issues playing series. I have binge watched a series without a problem. I watched a couple of football matches at the weekend with no problem either.


    I have been installing from the image's plugin server and not the manual ipk. As usual, some reporters play hard to get with specific details of issue/providing logs.

  • picons for multiple providers

    Quote from dsayers

    Using different snp and srp for both may cause issues although I might be wrong about this. Someone else will be able to advise if this is incorrect.

    My comment that follows is with regards to picons in general. It not specific to Kiddac's plugins.


    You can have the three types of picons in one picon folder. The search order is in almost all images is as follows:

    Exact/full service reference

    Adjusted service references (service type, media type, namespace network ID)

    utf8snp

    utf8snp with mods (hd/4k/sd mods)

    snp

    snp with mods (hd/4k/sd mods)


    Also, a physical hdd will need to spin up unless it is in use. So a device using flash memory is better. Even if it is mounted as hdd


    If Kiddac's plugins does not use symlinks, you can create SRP and SNP transfer all the picons to the one folder.

  • Picons by Chocholoušek

    If you cant solve the issue, maybe uninstall this plugin and picon sets. And use one from the following:

    Code
    https://openpicons.com/


    ATV fetches from there too, so you can just install from the plugin server if you are using atv.

  • Hotio/Ocram picon project - Logos required

    On the Hotio/Ocram picon project, many picons are created. However, we are missing some logos. If anybody would like to add some logos and links so that the picons are also created on that project, please upload/attach the logos. If you can submit a pull request, even better.


    https://github.com/picons/picons/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md


    Created picons are not required, we need the logos.

    • SVG files are better, but must not contain base64 encoded images.
    • png files should be as large as possible, greater than 800px if possible
    • Background should be transparent.
    • No empty space around the logo.

    There are two lists of logos we need in the attached zip file. One is sorted alphabetically, and the other sorted by orbital position.


    Thanks in advance.

  • Where I put a second image in my Vu (to enable multiboot) ?

    For flashing:

    You must use "flash online" to flash the image, it will then ask you which slot to use.


    For booting:

    There is a multiboot option in the standby/restart menu which allow you to choose which one to boot into. VTI does not support multiboot, so you must install the multiboot selector plugin after you boot into VTI.


    Slots/directories:

    The slots/directories were created when you enabled the multiboot function. Your screenshots show them already, you don't need to do anything.

  • Where I put a second image in my Vu (to enable multiboot) ?

    Look at the screen, you have 3 slots/directories with no image in them. And you have a recovery image (ATV). A recovery image is meant to be emergency use.


    I would flash ATV in slot 1 for ATV daily usage. Then VTI in slot 2 or 3, it doesn't matter which. Once you have booted into VTI, don't forget to install the multiboot selector plugin
