For tabs you will need the python file for it. This is for Open ATV

You need to extract the EpgSelection.py file .rar file attached.

ftp: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/

Rename the EpgSelection.pyo file in there to EpgSelection-new.pyo

Then COPY the extracted EpgSelection.py to:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/

And restart your box

Then you need to go 2 Chabs Skins Plugins and select either Chabs Tabs Default or Chabs Tabs Alternative and press yes to restart your box again.

You should have tabs working...

Thanks Chabs this has worked. Great stuff.
 
skyNEW Skin has been updated and uploaded to Version 2.008 now.

Nothing major, just added few screens, sorted the old issues in the skin and Chabs Skins Plugin, and also changed a few things in the Top Picks thanks to @wooshman

You can update the skin using Chabs Skins Plugin or woosh Build Infinity

:)

I will also upload the ipk file on Post #1

Cheers
CHABS..IS...BACK!

Legend.

Thanks for the update.
 
@Chabs , I have a question is it possible to add skynew skin to enigma settings backup so that when I do fresh install I can restore settings with skynew skin I have also added EPG Tabs Selection, and MOVIE SELECTION settings.
I have looked in Software Manager\ Select additional backup files, in usr\share\enigma2 there is chabs-skins folder
also looked in usr/lib/enigma2/python/screens
and usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/ChabsSkins

can you advise what files I would need to back up. Or do you happen to have enigma2-plugin-skins-skynew_V2.008_Chababu_all.ipk with the mods included.

You cant back up the skin with back up settings as it is not on github and also the custome python files cannot be backd up as any flush or restore options will bring the image's original python files.

The only way 2 do it is to completely back up ur image and settings.

Thanks Chabs, for the info, already got full backups and settings backup :smiley:
 
@Chabs, when I used your skins on whoosbuild you when on EPG screen you could page up and down nowusing openatv with just your sky new skin that button does -24 hours and +24 hours epg you have to pres 0 and 8 to page up and down but onscreen it shows yellow button for -24 hours and +24 hours EPG. Are there any adjustments that can be made to get it back to page up and down on epg like before on whoosbuild.

Thanks for your suggestion mate as long as the SkyNew skins Alternative works but it doesn’t. So far I ve noticed that this Skin Alternative option only works on ATV 6.1 WB but still if i wanted to change it from Chabs plugins option, its crashes.... Ive tried the Chabs option on thread #525 but the box stuck on Boot loop....

Does anyone know if there been any progression with getting the epg tabs for the latest openvix?

Really frustrating that openvix have changed all their epg files.

Thanks
Josh
 
I'm not aware that anyone is attempting to progress the EPG tabs. It's not a feature of any of the main images as far as I know.
The EPG tabs would only work on certain skins anyway so if it was introduced it would mean that all the skins would need to be changed.
You will either need to stick to an old version of ViX and use the hacked epgselection.py or get the skinner to code epg tabs into the new files.
The latest ViX EPG is far more configurable than the old one and much better imho.
