Well if you follow what I write, I did say a few days ago my keyboard malfunctioned and blew up. I had to wait until monday until I could nick a new one from work. :)
I actually thought I posted a reply. It mustn't have posted.
As Chabs says there is no easy way without writing a massive amount of python code that does very little.
Here is the python component for the start cam.

Right I have spent the last couple of days perfecting my toppicks script as much as I can. I am now happy with it. Unfortunately I now don't want to remove any of the screens for a small menu ;)

I just now need to write in the menus. I also need to test something dsayer said about not needing to update wget. I will have to reflash my box to test that though.

Here are some random screenshot of it in action.

Looking forward to getting this installed.. I want to take backups of my boxes so i can get back to this point without having to apply all the mods i have... Once your mod is done i think i'll be happy :)

Kiddac

I have tried use left hand side for the bouquet list widget and the right hand side for the menu config list so as to utilise all the toppics images...

I think i will just have the option for either left or right. I will leave all screens in the background an overlay a background graphic over the top for the menus. Then its up the user which the use
 
I've been playing with the movie.xml again got it looking how I want it now apart from getting the channel ID for each in the middle I've tried everything from menu list to service events string list and I can't do it was hoping some nice fella in the group can show me or link me to somewhere I can read to figure it out?

Basically want a menu or menu list creating from the recordings can it be pulled from the service/now event and loaded as a list?

Ideally to show after the service event I want service name but when I add the converter it black screens my box is there away to add service name and event name at the same time I get the feeling am close but not close enough

i dont understand what you are trying to do?

In the middle do you want it to say "BBC 1: The Jail: 60 Days in" or BBC 1 etc

for the recording name its.

<widget source="Service" render="Label" .... >
<convert type="EventName">ShortDescription</convert>
</widget>

For the channel name its .

<widget source="Service" render="Label" ....>
<convert type="MovieInfo">RecordServiceName</convert>
</widget>
 
edit... oh you want it to be in every row?

you cant do that unless you edit the python component. All we bring in is a list, which self populates the left and right values. There is no middle value :)

If it was that easy I would have replicated the sly planner page myself.

and if that isn't what you want, I haven't got a clue what you want lol
 
If looking to be able to use all the toppicks images without having to remove some ofthem for the menus, would this be an ideal alternative?

no... :)

You could remove the search graphic. and have the blue outline box as a background holder for your menus though. Just 1 item showing at a time.

Took your advice, but moved it to under the mini tv, as quite like the search box graphic. And changed it to 1 item at a time.

Surely this is much cleaner. Actual screen shots.

The above is for epg bouquets.

I might do the menu more like suggestions screen.

Kiddac I've been talking to someone else about wget and he managed to work around it he said.

The enigma2.sh start-up script sets LD_PRELOAD to point at a library that ensures that the close-on-exec bit gets set for all opened file-descriptors (this is so that all sub-processes start without all of the files opened by enigma2).

For some reason this affects wget.
The simple solution is to unset it at the start of the script.

This is the part of the script he gave me

#!/bin/sh
#

# enigma2.sh will set this, but wget fails when it is set.
# So unset it now....
#
unset LD_PRELOAD

This is my full script that will work without updating wget

Code:

Im not sure how ABM_urlbase works

dsayer your link is dead. Can you send me a new one. I want to test this theory.
 
porky that isn't really possible as such, because there are lots of variations of what people are doing. Some people are doing one thing on one screen, while someone else maybe doing something totally different. That is why silver keeps trying to keep an up to date list of what post number certain mods can be found on.

I will write a new thread showing how these guys can write their own ipk file. Once they finished faffing, they can create their own ipk file and share it with the world for easy install
 
That's sounds fantastic I love looking at this thread but get swept away with all the changes. I would just like to see a release with a few of these mods as they look cracking
