By IPTV account, I presume you mean playing an iptv playlist you have.

If its an xstream codes playlists with a url that includes get.php in it

you can use my xstreamity plugin

X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player (new thread)

If its just a standard playlist you can use my bouquet maker
Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV Bouquet Creator) - Main thread

If your box is not able to use the chronium plugin which comes with youtube (not to sure if your box can),, there is a seperate youtube plugin here

you can always see if the virtual keyboard plugin works on your box

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fairbird/NewVirtualKeyBoard/main/installer.sh -O - | /bin/sh

Hopefully this evening we are in a better place.

Because I am moving onto the next one now. slyk onyx skin refactoring. (which is pretty much the same as slyk q anyway - so shouldn't be too much hassle)

Quote from seagen

They change the name from TextOffset to TextPadding

Also as you can see they change the name for secondfont

00:05:32.5725 [Skin] Warning: Attribute 'secondfont' has been deprecated, use 'valueFont' instead!

00:05:32.5729 [Skin] Warning: Attribute 'textOffset' has been deprecated, use 'textPadding' instead!

There are fallbacks for textoffset and secondfont in their code.
Nothing needs changing in my skins for that. Otherwise they would break on other images

I have just spent most of my evening reading through all the commits on skin.py
So I am getting up to speed.

I have no problem with new naming conventions as long as there are legacy fallbacks.
And only when all the big players are using the same code, thats when they should remove the legacy stuff.

There should now be nothing wrong with that code. I have updated the ipk here (although I know you are looking at the same code on github)
RE: *UPDATED* Slyk Q 1080 (Install - FAQs)

The elements are correct (I chose not to have buttons on it) and the applet code is just my own custom autoresizer.

And as shown in your screenshot, the autoresizer is working as expected.

cool. Getting somewhere.
Slykq is "*top" not "*center"

Ok I have removed the inline offset, removed the second font. Change the description to name="description"

Does this display any differently abu baniaz

<screen name="MultiBootManager" position="0,0" size="1920,1080" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">
<panel name="template1"/>
<ePixmap pixmap="q-backgrounds/setup-bg.png" alphatest="blend" position="540,384" size="1002,623" zPosition="1"/>
<widget name="slotlist" position="540,385" size="1002,624" font="Regular;33" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="mid" backgroundColorSelected="select-darkblue-bg" selectionPixmap="q-selectbars/q-menu-2.png" itemHeight="78" enableWrapAround="1" scrollbarMode="showNever" transparent="1" zPosition="2"/>
<panel name="New-Buttons-T1"/>
<widget name="description" position="540,140" size="1002,195" font="Regular;33" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="topmid" transparent="1"/>
<ePixmap pixmap="buttons/key_help.png" position="1845,1030" size="38,38" alphatest="blend"/>
</screen>

I cant test this screen though, as none of my boxes are multiboot.

So I can't even add their latest choicelist.py to my box to see what i get.

Does this also happen on channelselect menu. Enter channelselect press menu.

This is with my own version of choicelist.py (the old version)

pasted-from-clipboard.png

lets see what I get if I copy of the very latest version. With this new alignment option

yes, their hack on their hack requires it

Quote

Add a new skin parameter called "ChoicelistVerticalAlignment", that takes a value from "*top", "*center", "*middle" or "*bottom", to specify the vertical alignment of all ChoiceList base widgets. (NOTE: The "*" is required to tell the parameter processor that the data is actually a string value and to not try and process this value through the numeric parsers.)

This parameter is a temporary hack to allow skins from other distributions to work, unchanged, on openATV. The other images should really fix the alignment issue in their code. The issue in the other images is that the default alignment is "top" and skinners have been forced to manually calculate offsets of the text to cause the text to be centered vertically in the line. In openATV we fixed this issue so that no such offset is required. Manually calculating and maintaining centering offsets is a waste of time and code when Enigma2 is fully capable of centering text itself. Most Enigma2 displays assume and expect text to be centered in the space allocated. The opeATV change makes this automatic and consistent for all widgets.

this is what happens when they faff.

Your screenshot is neither using the values from skin parameters in skin.xml

<parameter name="ChoicelistVerticalAlignment" value="*top" />

<parameter name="ChoicelistName" value="68,20,919,78"/>

or the inline textOffset

<screen name="MultiBootManager" position="0,0" size="1920,1080" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">

<panel name="template1"/>

<ePixmap pixmap="q-backgrounds/setup-bg.png" alphatest="blend" position="540,384" size="1002,623" zPosition="1"/>

<widget name="slotlist" textOffset="15,0"

As a mancunian would say. Proper fucked. Just make it a bloody list instead of all this crazy choicelist mayhem.

I am back openatv. Have you missed me.

Quote from gazz12345

hi kiddac jist a quick fix one slyk r19

when you in stall local ipks there is no install screen when u click the ipk to install its on atv7.2

Is that an openatv error or my skin screen not showing.
Have you tried it on metrix skin to see what that shows.

I also haven't got round to doing any updates on slyk r19.

The new full repo for slyk q is now here. I am creating separate new repos
https://github.com/kiddac/Slyk_Q_1080

Copy all them files across and if its still broken, then raise it with the openatv team. You have read the conversation on git.

They broke things not me.

abu baniaz I am doing an update for this skin very shortly.
But you now need this new file

/usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080/

aro1 try this version. But in playlist settings try switching between Stream Source URL: Standard or Direct Source

XStreamity V4.02
New files on post 1.

Only a tiny update.

Amended location box callback, to prevent an openatv double open issue if changing playlist.txt location option. (hopefully not broke other images)

Tried to eliminate black screen freezes when zapping, by removing the stream log, and loading the picon after the stream. It seems to play alot better now.
Added in seagens UHD skin files.

And if you want an old choicelist.py file that just works without any of the above hacks, here is an amended file for openatv.

Copy over to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/

and reboot your gui.

OK openatv have agreed to add in a new skin parameter value as a work around to these choicelists being displayed differently on different images.
This will require an image update from yourselves. And me to put in a new line in all of my skins. I am currently going through my skins anyway. So that isn't a problem for me.
This seems to be a openatv 7.2 issue. I think 6.4 and 7.3 are ok.
Openvix no need to do anything.

I said I will no longer be supporting python 2.7. Not deleting python 2.7 code.

Which means I will be coding on python 3 images. Whereas before I coded on python 2.7. Then made it work on python 3.

All the hybrid code is still there. But if something is better and faster to do it with python 3 code and no easy way to convert to python 2.7, then and only then do we have a problem. I will not have any python 2.7 images to test with.

Well it is, because I combine your separate files into mine. So we only have one master.

stop making me more work. I got enough. I got a million jobs to do, now I finally put openatv 7.2 on my box.
