I have been pretty much updating my skins blind without to much testing. Just going through them now to see what needs amending still.
So if you see them in this list (that I am just going to keep adding to) then no need to mention it.

Notes to myself

Slyk Q
Timerlog list - fixed
RecordTimerEdit / Setup (footnote text size) - fixed

Reduce main button templates font size slightly to fit the ever growing long texts - fixed

Replace information font with monospace font - fixed

change serviceinfo to be same style as information panels - fixed
Amend message box applet rezier code - fixed

what openatv version you now on urie

As a skinner and having two quad core 4k boxes myself.
I still choose to use 1080 skins rather than 4k skins. It keeps my box faster. The larger the skin, the slower your box.

I have a tool to upscale skins here if its any use to you.

have you got any files in

/etc/cron.d

/etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.monthly

/etc/cron.weekly

the main cron folder is

/etc/cron/crontabs/root

is there anything in that root file

Lots of plugins use auto timers to update things.
Autobouquet maker has an update timer. if installed check the settings
Epg-importer has an update timer. if installed check the settings
Have you made sure your epg is set to be saved to external. You could be getting out of memory issues otherwise.

My plugins xstreamity, jedimakerxtream, visual weather have an update timer. if any installed check the settings

I dont think you can zoom in and out the tv picture. But you can change the aspect ratio.

probably v.mode button on zgemma (or long hold green)

<key id="KEY_VMODE" mapto="toggleAspectRatio" flags="m" />

<key id="KEY_GREEN" mapto="aspectSelection" flags="l" />

is my old thread for dinobot 4k any use to you.

Dinobot 4K Update - Including missing E2 afterwards ( Solved )

@Willo3092

So I decided to update my dinobot 4k tonight. What a bleeding pain in the bum that is with no instructions.

Edit** good online manual can be found here **

In the android side, hidden away under atv settings. Go into about....system update...upgrade online.
Selecting 'full' does a clean install, selecting 'normal' keeps your settings.

I decided to do a full install. Now this file comes from google drive so its mega slow to download.
After about an hour (no…

Because this plugin was never meant to be popular. I wrote it in a week as proof of concept. And its pretty much stayed that way ever since, because it just works. :)

And since I wrote it in 2020, it has only needed 14 minor updates.
Compared to xstreamity that has had 273 updates

90 euros is a bargain. And you want cheaper.

Like abu says. That is exactly my infobar setup

With my skins (and probably many others) the 2nd infobar includes the infobar

So normal inforbar times out after 3 seconds
2nd infobar (ok twice) with infobar stays on screen until you press ok again (or exit)

As for PIP key, another option is you can just edit the keymap.xml file

/usr/share/enigma2/keymap.xml

<key id="KEY_SCREEN" mapto="activatePiP" flags="b" />

just change "KEY_SCREEN" to another key (comment out the original keys function <!-- -->)

Jedi EPG Xtream v2.07
New files on post 1

Updated sources - deleting dead ones
Added in the DreamOS UHD skin

use force install

opkg --force-reinstall install /tmp/*.ipk

or just open the ipk with 7zip

or use the files below. But you dont learn that way ;)

If I remember correctly, there is 2 because if you are at the bottom row of the screen, anymore and they are shown off screen.

just looking a metrix hd code. They use extendeddescription the same as me for infobar.

But as we all know openatv like to faff. So I have answered your question. But I do think something has changed since I last paid any attention to epg data.

ok I just run a little experiment on this.

pasted-from-clipboard.png

Top - description

2nd top - short

3rd - full

4th extended

red - (second infobar or event view) using name="epg_importer"

full and extended seem to show the same

but...

on openatv github the code is this

    elif self.type == self.EXTENDED_DESCRIPTION:
            return self.trimText(event.getExtendedDescription() or event.getShortDescription())
        elif self.type == self.FULL_DESCRIPTION:
            return self.formatDescription(event.getShortDescription(), event.getExtendedDescription())

but... if you wait long enough on the channel, say about 30 seconds.

They all change to the sky epg version

pasted-from-clipboard.png

now this used to happen almost instantly. Why is there such a delay now???

And just looking at my epg and channel select code for this skin. They are both using "FullDescription". Where as infobar is using "ExtendedDescription"

Other options you can have in the info bar.

short description

<convert type="EventName">Description</convert>

short description

<convert type="EventName">ShortDescription</convert>

Extended

<convert type="EventName">ExtendedDescription</convert>

Full
<convert type="EventName">FullDescription</convert>

yes, because with my skins, the epgs will be from epg importer.

The infobar epg will show epg importer first and then if available this then gets replaced with the satellite feed epg info.

q-infobar.xml

<widget source="session.Event_Now" render="RunningText" options="movetype=running,startpoint=0,direction=top,steptime=80,repeat=0,always=0,oneshot=0,startdelay=6000,wrap" position="806,822" size="762,189" font="Regular;33" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="blackglass" valign="top" transparent="1" zPosition="1">
            <convert type="EventName">ExtendedDescription</convert>
</widget>

i am actually on skins again today :)

currently doing slyk 1080

Epiconizer v1.23-20230614

New files on post 1 (and github)

Offline regional and extra picons now automatically get added to the build list so no need for a 2nd run from local_source folder.
New extra picons live in etc/enigma2/extra_picons
Offline local picons still live in etc/enigma2/local_source and can be run as a separate process.

never used dm webinterface, but if its roughly the same as openwebif then...

your last scan, should be in a folder called last scanned (or favourites). In openwebif Clicking on the TV icon for this folder will create an m3u8 playlist that you can use on your home network if your box is on.
I assume this might be the same on dm webinterface
