Slyk Skin Mods v5

[danmed]

not a bad idea ; would you happen to know (or know someone) how it might be possible to pull in daily graphics from the net using a script though, even if it's not going to be in your skin?

I've written a shell script to do it, but kind of abandoned it as the source images are physically huge and will probably kill the gui...

if anyone has a better place to get them from, let me know.

#!/bin/bash
#Delete existing file if it exists
rm watch
#Grab the page we want
wget https://www.sky.com/watch
#Find all the links to the images we want and dump them in to links.txt
cat watch | grep -Eo "(http|https)://www.sky.com/assets2/[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_-]*" | sort | uniq > links.txt
#Step through the links in links.txt and download them
a=1
for link in `cat links.txt`     
do
name=toppicks
extension=.jpg
wget $link -O $name$a$extension
a=$((a+1))
done

What about using pil to resize images before using them on layout??

Hmm.. if it's available on the Enigma2 boxes then yeah, that should work.. i'll have a look

 

[kiddac]

can't you just use the variable at the end. They are then resized server side

I thought that's how it would work,but i think that downsize part is being processed by the sky.com/watch page as if you access the URL direct, it does nothing.

I suppose it would make more sense rather than adding extra code ie. adding pil code if not needed. If the coding can be implemented and tested with the pull of the images, like kiddac suggests

Below are the links it identifies from the page.. and the downsize bit seems to do nothing

Or find a server that supports pil to pull the images, change em to thumbnails via code then use that server for enigma2?

I'll take a look at that link.. in the mean time, this now grabs them at the intended sizes.

#!/bin/bash
#Delete existing file if it exists
rm watch
#Grab the page we want
wget https://www.sky.com/watch
#Find all the links to the images we want and dump them in to links.txt
cat watch | grep -Eo "(http|https)://www.sky.com/assets2/[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_-]*" | sort | uniq > links.txt
#Steph through the links in links.txt and download them
a=1
for link in `cat links.txt`     
do
name=toppicks
extension=.jpg
resize=:*
wget $link$resize -O $name$a$extension
a=$((a+1))
done

The thing is, looking at the page, theses images are only really suitable for a few of the images..

Also, they are missing the channel logs unfortunately.

 

[kiddac]

and you can reduce them even more
downsize=600:*&output-quality=100

I need to get the actual dimensions of the images being used by the mod i guess.. see if i can get 6 images that actually fit...

 

[kiddac]

give us a minute to fire up me photoshop. I will draw a dimension guidelines.

thanks.. my limited scripting ability is failing me right now..

I need to strip the last 3 characters off the links
then read each line from the text file and resize them to different sizes.. i think i can do the second bit, but i'm struggling with removing the last 3 characters

This skin absolutely rocks and in my opinion is by far the best sly looking skin out there! With kiddac's genius and the hard work for the different mods available the differences between the skin and official sly are incredible!!

Great work everyone :)

The Official Sky EPG Screen (No Yellow Tab):

E2 Sky Skin:

that's strange - it shows on quite a few different sites on the net that it does :/

would you be able to share how you managed to reduce the length of the active tab?

my epg :

View attachment 19499

I would like to reduce the length as shown in your screenshot if possible - would you be able to share with me how I can do this?

Very nice work by the way can hardly notice the difference ? is it quite straightforward to change the duration to the SD/HD W S DD etc? and the ch- / ch + at the top and bottom ?

Thank you

Hi, Chabs

Any update on the files / instructions for the epg amends at all?

No rush, just a lil reminder :)

Would like the length of the active tab reduced, duration of event swapped with SD,W,S etc icons, ch+/ch- text, faint blue "|" separator in between tabs, today and timeline text right alinged, removal of the info / menu button

many thanks in advance

Hi mate

Right.. i've figured out how to strip the characters so now i can put in proper dimensions..

now i just need to get 6 images and size them individually...

then hope that they don't look like arse :)
