HD51 4K guide: How to enable PIP [+ virtual zap plugin]

[teddybloat]

i wanted to use virtual zap, which allows you to preview / watch another channel without changing channels. you can see it working here:

i first needed to enable PIP on my box, which took a bit of finding. i eventually found a guide on a german forum and translated it:


menu>standby / restart> multiboot

you can now scroll to a selection that states : PIP enabled [experimental] (see thumbnail)

save and then fully reboot your box.

PIP should now be enabled. you can long-press blue to experiment with split screen / quarter fill etc PIP or you can use virtual zap to place it in the menu bar.

download the .rar and ftp the virtual zap folder to

usr/lib/enigma2/pugins/extensions

reboot

press green and scroll to the virtual zap plugin, where you can now configure it.

i use long press OK

when watching a channel long press OK, then scroll up/down to the channel you want to preview /watch and will appear in the menu bar.

works brilliantly with chab's new skyQ skin.

thanks to jwigely for the file / putting me onto virtual zap

enjoy fellow mutanteers

**some people have reported the bootmode can interfere with watching UHD content**

Can also affect Kodi, don't know if it still does?
It used to be that you could either have Kodi or Pip, not both.

Kodi working fine for me, not extensively tested, but managed to play various files on different plugins

Maybe they fixed it then. I know you couldn't use both some time ago.

Might be compatibility issues with dreamplex guys. If anyone can test it their end too it'd be good
