And that is exactly why we write guides.
It sounds scary, but its just a step by step process.
You just got to know the steps :)

Decided on this layout now for vod.
Moved the title to the left
Moved the rating dial to the right
Added in movie logo if available.
Watermarked the backdrop. (its more vibrant than this on a backlit tv)
Sorted out the speed issue. Its now fast with a tiny delay when the backdrop loads
onto series now...

If you are selling it, you are better off wiping it with a new flash.
Then the new user goes through the setup
Unless you are selling to a friend or family in which case. Do all above and give them a nice newly setup box. -
The slow and steady road of progress.
Now got backdrop art. Need to now mask it so it fades in the background.
I am also downloading all these elements sequentially. Need to amend my code to download concurrently.

XStreamity v4.48
New files on post
updated translations
Added some more string manipulation to movies
reverted some code for downloader (but not all of it)

And on the issue of bugs. There seems to be a bit of a battle at the moment of some providers blocking browser user-agents.
If for example, your line works in BMX (which has just a simple text user-agent),
but your line is not working in XSTREAMITY (which mimics latest chrome browser user-agent)
You can always try changing the user-agent in my plugin.pyusr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/XStreamity/plugin.py
find the user agents
pasted-from-clipboard.pngcomment out the last one
uncomment the first one. i.e. remove the #

As people know who follow this thread.
I had a big code change a few weeks ago. It wasn't 100% necessary, but it has improved lots of my code and sped up some functionality.
And the end of the day, despite all my plugins, I am an amatuer when it comes to python code.
So the code got rewritten with the help of AI to make it a little better and a little less buggy.
In that process, every single file had major code changes.Some things got fixed. Nothing was meant to break. (although I knew some things would slip through)
Everything was meant to function exactly the same.This is why there was several beta versions trying to iron out any bugs I had brought in.
Obviously I have all my old code for every release and some of my changes I have reverted when issues have been raised and I cant see quickly where the error is.
I didn't think anything had actually changed with the downloader. But it seems from comments some functionality has changed.
As for the TMDB data. I did tweak the stripping out of unnecessary characters in titles which is then used to perform a search on TMDB.
Again if this is not functioning as expected. Screen shot a few examples of the your movie titles so I can test that title with my code.
Even better - drop me a PM and trust me with your line details. - And I can debug it much easier and quicker. -
Well actually there is code in my plugin for epg offset. But the setting is hidden.
It was put in because I did ask oe-alliance if they could put the offset option into the epg source files.https://github.com/oe-alliance/XMLTV-Import/issues/84
I don't know whether that was actually put in or not. That was 6 months ago. I never got round to testing it.
Maybe you can just add in the offset now to the <source> as outline in this link

all the latest translation files posted in here or in private messages have been added to my offline code.
I will do a release this evening with them in... probably.
Cheers.

When i exit Download Manager with version 4.47 the download of Movies stops with openatv 7.3.
yes unfortunately that is the way it is.
Quite a few images don't allow background downloading.
Background downloading also slows down your box.
I say it all the time. I can't stand the very fact people use an enigma2 box to download movies from their iptv.
Using a computer is much quicker and easier.
So if you want to download, you have to leave the download manager open.
Its there as an option. It isn't meant to be perfect. -

just use the old file for now. I don't have time to look at that error today./usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/XStreamity/

I am going to have a now layout for VOD/Movies too. Bringing in the backdrop, movie logo and condensing the info.

Nope. Enigma2 capabilities are very limited.
The fact it remotetly looks like SKY Q is a minor miracle. -
But don't ask me to write the scripts. I don't do scripts
chatgpt says it might be something like this. But I have no idea :) -
There are 2 python calls for doing the update.
Auto update - with no guifrom . import update
self.session.open(update.BmxUpdate, "auto")
Manual update - with gui as it shows the screens.from . import update
self.session.open(update.BmxUpdate, "manual")
I am sure you can probably write a script to call tha update.py file. -
We think we have sorted barice issue. It might have been a corrupt json file. Seems to be working now.

I changed my mind again. I knew I would :)
I now have a main landing page. Which just has a few option. Live, Vod, Series, Catchup, Settings, Downloaderpasted-from-clipboard.png
skin styling is coming along nicely now. Getting to a place I like. And I removed the preview mini tv too.
