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

    I am running OpenVix on a Gigablue UE 4K.


    I am trying to setup a "hotkey" to open XStreamity from within the EPG screen. I know you can use the Video button to go to the catchup menu, if available, but I want to go to the main XStreamity screen for searching and downloading a VOD file etc, and the EPG screen seems a sensible place to have that option.


    I know which section of the keymap.xml file I need to add it to and have done it before for other keys - I've added Rew to be previous Bouquet and FF to be next Bouquet in the EPG screen as my universal remote doesn't have the extra prev/next buttons.


    But what I can't find is the "mapto" string needed to open XStreamity?


    Also I planned to use the Play button as the Hotkey but that seems to be blocked in the EPG screen as it comes up with a X on the screen when pressed. Where are the settings that determine if a key is acceptable in a particular screen? Or is it just that play is undefined in the EPG screen?

    (EDIT sorted this myself - it's that is just wasn't defined, I tested it with PLAYPAUSE mapped to "info" and that works fine)


    Final question (for today anyway!), I only have one playlist entry, so I have set the option in settings to bypass the playlist selection screen, but is there a way to directly go into the screen that shows "Live, VOD, Catchup" etc rather than starting at the "Playlists, Add Playlists" etc screen. I know it is only a single press of OK to get to but firstly, I'm a lazy sod, and secondly I am not sure it is a good idea to have any screen with settings on it available to my primary user!


    Thanks

    This is probably an obvious one, but it's been driving me mad for best part of an hour and I can't see it!


    From the movie list how do I navigate to an alternative file location (eg usb storage, NAS storage) to view files there?


    Maybe related, or just another newbie question, what exactly does the Root Directory option in the settings do? It says "to remove the .. from being shown in the that folder" so I've tried changing it to various options to see if then the ".." option would appear in the movie list and I could use that to navigate around the system but it doesn't seem to change anything.

    I did try several other skins including Slyk-Q, but unless I was setting them up incorrectly with the options (quite possible), the Slyk-R19 was the only one that had a simple and small play/pause icon for live pause or pausing movie playback. All the others also showed the info panel in pause which in my view is not necessary and covers too much of the screen. I am really happy with pretty much all other aspects of the Slyk-R19 skin so would really prefer to tweak the movie screen in that if at all possible.


    The screenshot of your Slyk-R19 modded movie planner looks perfect - the layout with the mini screen on the left and a full height listing area is spot on.


    Would it be as easy as slotting your s-movies.xml file into my system to achieve the same effect, or is it much more complicated than that?


    If it is fairly straightforward would you mind letting me have a copy of it?

    Sorry Chaps, it's me again - still seeking total GUI perfection having had some feedback from SWMBO..........


    I'm not sure if this is specific to this skin or a general issue but I have a couple more questions about the Movie list page.


    I am using the slyk-1080-r19 skin with the movie planner layout mod and Sky Planner selected.


    1) I use the Trash Can. Although I rarely need to access it, it always sits at the top of the Movie list no matter how I sort it. This kind of wastes a line that could be displaying another Movie entry and also SWMBO thought the "Deleted items/ Trashcan" entry was actually a title line and that all the movie entries were in it. Is there any way to force it to always be at the bottom the list rather than the top? Or be hidden and accessed some other way on the rare occasions it needs to be accessed?


    2) When I have navigated to a subfolder containing multiple recordings, I would like to use the exit button to go back up to the top level rather than click back up to the top of the list and then click the "Directory" entry. Is there a way to set that up? Currently the exit button takes you out of the movie list completely, whereas in most other areas of the system it just takes you back one level.


    3) Following on from 2, if I have exited the Movie list from a subfolder when I go back in to the Movie list, it goes back to the folder I was in. I can see that sometimes you would want it to do that but I would prefer it to always go in at the top level. Is that possible to set up?



    Thanks in advance for any help on this.


    While I am still a very green newbie on the enigma2 system, I am reasonably familiar with Linux systems and can make my own changes to specific files, if that is what is needed to achieve any of the above.

  • E2Iplayer (Iptv player) discussion

    I'm in the UK and have just installed E2IPlayer on my Gigablue UE UHD running Openvix.


    I have a valid subscription to Discovery + which is the "new" Eurosport Player. I've tried putting my credentials into the Eurosport Player section of the E2Iplayer but that links to http://www.eurosportplayer.com and my credentials don't work for that. I need to access https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb where I can log in succesfully. I thought I could create a custom entry for that address in E2iplayer but I'm struggling to find out how so far.


    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Works perfectly. Thanks very much again :clapping hands:


    That is now exactly the same live pause display behaviour as our old S*y HD box. My other half knows and understands that box well. That is what I'm trying to replicate, as best I can, in a modern open source box but without too much of a shock to her system!

    Eureka!! I Just installed the movie planner mod and it now looks perfect. Thanks very much :clapping hands:


    Now there is just one last thing that I need to sort before it is suitable for WAF testing.


    In live pause mode ,The time under the pause icon is displayed in Seconds so it starts at 0 Secs and goes up to 59 but then it resets to 0 Secs again. I have changed the Media playback Remaining/Elapsed from Skin Settings to Mins but that doesn't seem to effect the Live Pause display. Is there another trick to get that to display minutes? or even seconds until it is more than a minute, and then minutes thereafter. Thanks in advance.

    Have you installed the movie planner mod?

    Movie Planner Mod 2022 *New*
    My movie planner mod for my skins has been around for a few years now and surprisely has stood the test of time on openatv where others have fallen by the wayside as image code has been amended or totally changed.

    The problem with the original mod, was you had to manually replace 2 core files on your box.
    So if people haven't been following the conversation in the skin mod thread.... A new version is born.

    No. I wasn't even aware of it. Do you think that will help?


    I am finding that every time I get a new bit of knowledge about the enigma2 system, I also find another 10 things that I realise I don't know!

    I have a Gigablue UHD UE 4K running OpenVix 6.3.003


    I'm still very much a newbie to enigma2 and am trying lots of skins to try to find my ideal one.


    I really like the slyk-1080-r19 one but am having issues with the Movie screen layout. The format is squeezed up on the right hand side and the date of recording is partially hidden (see attached). I have tried adjusting font sizes to smaller than default, but it didn't help much and as my wife has sight issues I really don't want to go down that route.


    Are there any settings I can adjust to give more space to the Date section and less to the description? I am happy to loose the end of the description details if need be.
