Thanks Khaled

Hi - what directory do you place the host files in?

Hi Enigma1969,

thanks for your great plugin. Can I make a new feature request?

In OpenAtv there is a shortcut (red button on remote) to IMDB plugin to retrieve movie reviews and info on films directly from EPG.

Could a similar shortcut be created to take a user to YouTube plugin and play a trailer of the selected movie? In this way you could quickly review the trailer and decide if you wish to watch or record the movie.

Is this possible?

Quote from KiddaC

yeah freeview only has 16:9 images for programs. Which is not really good for my toppicks code as most of them images are portrait images.

Sky provides data for both landscape and portrait images.

Thanks for taking a look Kidda - no worries

Hi Kidda,

I really like Toppicks feature but as I am not a sky subscriber I would like it to show more relevant pics from the free to air channels (BBC, ITV, C4 etc.).

Is there a way to modify the download address to scrape from a different site? Or are the Top Picks pictures not coming directly from Channel websites?

Hi - what does this plugin do?

hi lululu,

i have installed 4.8 but it is very slow to load - 2 minutes.

is this right?

Cheers!

Don't use ABM, But thanks for clearing up.

Hi Dsayers,

What exactly do the custom mix and channel importer plugins do?

Cheers!

hi luluu,

latest update (4.4) does not seem to work with Open Atv 6.1 -the latest release from openatv.

when you update from 4.2 it is not showing in the plugin menu!

can you help?

Have this working like a charm now!

Your plugin doing the downloading and a Cron job moving picons to my preferred location on USB pen drive.

Thanks for all your hard work D! This is a lot nicer than Rats picon downloader.

Hi,

Think I've spotted a hiccup.

After re-running plugin I ftpd in to SkyQ and could see all the picons showing as symlinks. There is s new folder called 'logos' now in there which houses the picon images. I'm just wondering if this will happen each time you update and start to eat the space on your HDD?

Are you seeing this too?

aha - maybe it was the new script that did the trick.

Cheers!

interestingly before I read your post I ran the updates again having created a 'picon' folder inside SkyQ and also changing script permissions to '755'. Worked first time!

Hi D,

Sorry for this long post... I reFlashed my box yesterday with latest OATV6.

I ftpd you plugin and ran it without my mv commands but it failed to write any picons to the SkyQ picon folder. Normal picons worked fine.

The error message said something like:

Mv: unable to rename /picon no such file or directory

I think this is due to one or two reasons - I think in your code you may need a '/' after 'SkyQ' in your final mv command - so should read:

mv -f /picon /HDD/SkyQ/

Or else the directory 'picon' needs to be created In SkyQ so it can be overwritten. Although I can't see why??

From memory I think I may have created a 'picon' directory manually in SkyQ when I was tinkering on earlier image which explains how I got it to work. Also the script only appears to work if you run it from the plugin menu - if you run just the script (from job manager) it fails to download either picons sets!!

I'll look at the SkyQ command. For it not working in job manager that will be because the ipk has an older script the plugin downloads the latest script then runs it after that aslong as I haven't added new picons it should work in job manager.

Ok it was the opkg remove command I changed the size of the large picons to download but didn't change the remove command so if you ran the plugin first it ran fine but if you ran it again with no change to the ipk to download it couldn't re download the ipk as it still existed on the system so ive now edited it to suit hopefully that should sort it.

KiddaC can you please tell me the actual size of the large picons I started using 220x132-190x102 but now changed to 220x132-220x132 but im not sure if thats correct thanks. Ill look at changing to xpicon

Thanks - I'll try rerunning it.

Is the new version available now to download?

Now one final Q, how to move the Xpicons from HDD/SkyQ to sdc1/xpicons/picon?

Hey D,

Why is there a '-f' before the mv command in that script?

I'm looking st changing it slightly - to move to USB, but don't understand the -f?

Can you explain?

Sorry, to explain what I'm looking to do..,

Run your downloader

Run script to move Xpicons to my USB Drive (sdc1).

Run script to move normal picons to root.

Ok - seems to have worked now!

Not sure if it was reboot or what but it downloaded And put in HDD.

Maybe it was file permissions - should be set to 755?

hey D,

im getting an error message after runningnthe downloader script, see my attached pic

i can see a SkyQ folder bu there is no 'picon' folder inside it and there is NO picon folder created in HDD.

I DID Run the run-me-first scrbefor the dowmloader but getting the error message nonetheless

any ideas?
