Thanks grant
I've added kiddacs great skin and mods with the new planner .
But unlike your screenshot of the new planner I don't get any text saying if it's recorded or downloaded etc or on the channel ID .
Is that one of your mods or kiddacs default.
Cheers for sharing all the hard work guys

no worries mate; after editing extras.xml on movieselection you need to press menu whilst in the planner screen and scroll down to use extended list and choose sly planner
Thanks for that :)
Soon as you said I remembered reading it on a older post ...doh
 
Great skin guys well done and thank you for all your hard work.

Do you know where the latest update file is to upload to my receiver?
 
To get the text centerd, ull only need to edit the multicontententrytext for the menu listbox, and change the flag so it says RT_HALIGN_CENTER | RT_VALIGN_CENTER

thanks gman ; forgive my laziness here but which file would i find and edit them is it one of the py files?

thanks

Nah its in menu-templates.xml Its in the first screen name called menu, but ive got mine in mymods.xml so that i can have it with my other mods. Or if youre using chabs main menu, its in his menu.xml file.

don't worry found it :) menu-templates.xml changed to CENTER and it has worked brill, now i've centered the text i've slightly amended the menu bar to two arrows :

1_0_1_1DC8_82D_2_11A0000_0_0_0.jpg

Is it possible now to change the various settings screens to something similar, so for example, here's my AV settings screen :

1_0_1_1DC8_82D_2_11A0000_0_0_0 (1).jpg

Would it be possible on the right list (HDMI / disabled / 1080p etc....) to center that text so i can then change those to double arrows < HDMI > apposed to <> HDMI

and for the other settings screens (auto language selection, customise, epg etc etc...)

Thanks

Just trying to get it a little more like official sly in the setup screens, here's what i found from official sly :

Latest ipk mate with all the mods done if possible

As hideout10uk has stated, you can get the latest IPK from post 1 of Kiddac's V5 thread HERE ; there are skin modifications on Kiddac's dropbox like the EPG Tabs, Sly Planner etc but for any of the mods in this thread that you'd like to use; because there is such a variety of mods to choose from, there is no compiled image for it just based on personal preferences etc ; but if you take a look at post 525 of this mods thread found HERE (post 525 was created to simplify which mods have been made and what's available and to make it easy to navigate) ; this lists every mod with links that can take you to the original posts and downloads for those mods

Just make sure you read fully post 1 on Kiddac's V5 thread as you'll need to edit extras.xml if you want to use any of the mods ; almost all of the mods on this thread come with instructions on how to get them working on your box either in the post or in the download

is there a mod to make the epg tabs usable other than selecting them from the main bouquet? that would be awesome if possible!?

yes mate ; just select whichever bouquet you'd like to go into e.g. all channels and then use 'prev' or 'next' on your remote (or depending on your box it may be "<" and ">") and this will take you through the bouquets in the graphical epg; you need to enable epg tabs first in extras.xml and ftp the epgselection.py to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens from kiddac's dropbox

yeah thanks gman found it in the end :) i am using chabs' menu mod but it wasn't in menu.xml, found it in menu-templates.xml and it works ; i'm now searching to see if its possible to center the settings screens text and do the same with the arrows/select bar

Nice one thought it was a bit strange you couldn't do that user error as the say haha

the only other thing that would be useful or might already exsist and I don't know about would be if you can change down an entire page by pressing ch+/- on the remote?

yes it does exist, it's standard with kiddac's skin as far as i'm aware; pressing CH- will go down an entire page on the epg and CH+ up a page
 
perfect it does work now although i have just added a couple of extra mods sure it didn't earlier cheers for your help ;)

while we're in the mood for it whats the mod to get channel numbers and picons back sorry to be a pain!
 
while we're in the mood for it whats the mod to get channel numbers and picons back sorry to be a pain!

if you're referring to the epg for this; just press menu whilst in the epg which will take you to GraphicalEPG settings, and you can select to show picons in there; if you're using vix 4.2.004 or later you can also select in there to show the channel numbers, but if you're using atv channel numbers are shown by using AutoBouquets E2 plugin or a modified EPGList.py and UsageConfig.py ; although I'm on vix so don't have these files however one of the guys on here using ATV may share if they have them :)
 
I am using vix 4.2.006 can't find it in the menu there anywhere!?

EPG > Menu > GraphicalEPG Settings > Service Title Mode = Service Number, Picon and Service Name

or the long way round

Menu > Setup > System > EPG > GraphicalEPG Settings > Service Title Mode = Service Number, Picon and Service Name
 
Does this work on openvix?

Yep it does ; chab's menu mod it can be found HERE (edit Gmanpanthro has also made the menu top picks screen HERE the screenshot you posted is gman's)

Does anyone know actually how i can center the text on the menu screen ? :

View attachment 20095

so the menu selection timers, information etc i want to make the text center aligned if possible

To get the text centerd, ull only need to edit the multicontententrytext for the menu listbox, and change the flag so it says RT_HALIGN_CENTER | RT_VALIGN_CENTER

Sorry to bother you again just gone to enable to extended info but after pressing menu whilst in the new planner I don't get that option for extended info , I scrolled all the way.
There's a settings,mounts,network mounts etc do tried selecting settings and the box reboots every time.
I have changed the panel name to "Movie selection 2" but what I'm thinking is yesterday when editing the extras.xml for some reason all the text just disappeared god knows why and j only had a old version of extras.xml from version 3 I think it was so I used that and it seemed ok.
Can you think what I'm doing wrong
Cheers

Have you placed MovieList.py and MovieSelection.py in your box from kiddac's drop box?

After editing extras.xml, save into your box, then from kiddac's dropbox ftp MovieList.py to /usr/share/enigma2/python/Components and rename the file already in there MovieList.pyo to MovieList-old.pyo

then download MovieSelection.py from kiddac's dropbox, and ftp to /usr/share/enigma2/python/Screens and rename your MovieSelection.pyo to MovieSelection-old.pyo

Restart GUI and then go into Planner screen, press menu, go into settings and scroll down to use extended list and select Sly Planner

You won't be able to see use extended list or select sly planner option without the PY files

Hope that helps
 
...and you can't use extras.xml from any of my previous releases. It has to be my latest skins version of extras.xml.

Yeah I've transfered them 2 and renamed the ones to "-old" just double checked .
The location you said was that a typo ? As I've put them in
Usr/lib/enigma2/python/components & screens
I did notice it's created a new pyo file of each I'm guessing that's what should happen the bottom picture is the bottom half of my extras.xml
