Right.. i think this is right.. i've used the dimensions you've set above.. I've not got this plugin installed as i've completely lost which one is the latest and how to install it:whacko:

Anyone willing to give me a quick breakdown on which files to download and what to do with them?

or anyone willing to test the code instead?

Code:
#!/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
link=$(sed -n "1p" "links.txt")
link="${link:0:${#link}-3}"
name=toppicks1
extension=.jpg
resize=378:244
wget $link$resize -O $name$a$extension


link=$(sed -n "2p" "links.txt")
link="${link:0:${#link}-3}"
name=toppicks2
extension=.jpg
resize=183:244
wget $link$resize -O $name$a$extension

Tweaked Gman's awesome top picks mod again<br />
<br />
Made the the top screens (tv guide/boxsets etc) more landscape and closer together and very slightly made the tv preview screen smaller so it meets with the icons; I've changed the service name to the same colour as the rest of the text as well as changed the text 'TV Guide' at the top to 'Top Picks'<br />
<br />
Other little tweaks are different set of images for the top picks, 'Today's Top Picks' text changed from white to blue, matching the rest of the text on the screen, increased border width of the tv guide image, menu screen 4 different icons at top more landscape and closer together, removed the yellow border from planner, sly cinema, sports images<br />

and where you have the bouquests tabs can be the timers,infomation.plugins and so on[/quote]<br />
<br />
oh right sorry, hmm i wouldn't know, may need to wait for the gman to come back online he knows the mod best!!lol<br />
<br />
EDIT<br />
<br />
Centered bottom top picks to meet in line with the top images, made smaller top picks 1 (walking dead) and made tv preview screen smaller slightly to meet with bottom images, and finally increased the gap between the end two top images and the tv preview screen by moving the position<br />

right, well.. it works.. kind of.. but only for images 4, 5 and 6..

i'm not sure why but it blanks out the rest...

To be honest, it also looks a bit shit.. the images were never meant to be these dimensions and the channel logos are missing..

I think we need a better source of images to be honest if this is going to be worth carrying on with.

Code:
#!/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

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.

it's a good start :) i'm sure it can be possible either with another source or something that can make the images smaller :)
 
the image dimensions are not that far off.
i.e 600 x 337

to 183 would be 183 x 102

so you are only stretching it 13/14 pixels in height to get 183 x 116

enigma2 boxes don't do jpgs, are you downloading the png version. I see you are using png in the code above but are you downloading the png version too.

what about netflix for images

tommy post in wooshes thread. this is skin thread and not a general question thread. your question has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

Definately on the right track with the fetch of images, just needs more testing but... Good work all round to get a little further each time tried

Zgemma-Star H.2S

i'm just downloading the jpg's and renaming them to png

the dimensions for the taller images are way off though as they are all the wrong aspect.. atleast from this source anyway.

If anyone can come up with a better source that better matches the original images (channel logos etc) then i'll pick this back up but my searches are coming up with very little.

Also if anyone wants to take the code and run with it, feel free.. just give me a little credit :)

very good work though danmed, you've proven that it works! all we need to do is find a better source for the images that's regularly updated?

I was looking at

https://www.skymedia.co.uk/
would this be any better?

this maybe a long shot, but would it work if i were to upload the current images at the right dimensions to a new thread on here, and update them on this site every few days?

Hi mate

uploading the mages somewhere on a regular basis would definitely work.. though would be very manual for yourself.. it would greatly simplify the code if i could have static links to the 6 images and just redownload those on a schedule.

those links don't seem to contain the right type of images though unfortunately.

Just want to echo what I said on kiddac's thread you boys deserve a lot of credit to keep finding ways to push enigma 2's coding, i understand the basics but your taking it to another level, I take my hat off to you all! [emoji106]

I don't mind doing this if it works - I regularly maintain the full sets of channel picons for both lcd screen and the gui

i can create a new thread, upload the images at the correct dimensions, and include any channel logos on the images too :)

I can probably update every 48 hours, just a 10 minute job each time and as my wife says 'i'm always on the poxy laptop!' , so whats a few more minutes haha!!
 
right I just done some googling and resizing. The images your are after sourcing are widescreen 16:10 images. i.e 1920 x 1200. These scale down pretty much spot on.
Most of the fan art sites, show 16:9 images. These are too wide. i.e - www.fanart.tv www.thetvdb.com www.themoviedb.org

but there is a foundation for your searches.

danmed, i have created the thread for images here

HTML:
http://www.techkings.org/openvix-openatv-skins/104530-slyk-1-hd-top-picks-todays-picks-mod.html#post588637

I have cropped the images based on the help with kiddac's design.

So, TV Guide is 193 x 91

Boxsets, Cinema, Kids, Planner, Catch Up TV, Sports + Sly Store are 183 x 81

Top Picks 1 is 378 x 244

Top Picks 2 and 5 are 183 x 244

Top Picks 3, 4, 6 and more top picks images images are 183 x 116

If it helps, I can use kiddac's template to resize the each box for the gui, and the mini-tv and re-upload the mod, and from there would you be able to test it out with the forum link source above?

I'm not that great when it comes to all the coding unfortunately.

what i have done can get the ball rolling a little more anyway :)

thanks

Wow i really understand kiddac's pain now! I always knew it must have been hard work, but never would I have guessed how annoying this lark can be!!

trial and error, over and over and over!! but i have finally finished the top picks screen based on a more landscape look, using kiddac's pixel guide

HTML:
http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=8d8a3b2

I couldn't get the pixels exact, because i was trying over and over and things were just not lining up properly!

TV Guide / Boxsets / Sly Cinema / Kids / Planner / Catch Up TV / Sports / Sky Store are 183 x 81

The gap between for top icons is 17 px, including the gap between the mini tv

Bottom images - top picks 1 at 383 x 244 , top picks 2 183 x 244 , top picks 3 + 4 183 x 116 , top picks 5 183 x 244 , top picks 6 183 x 116 , more top picks 183 x 116

The gap between the bottom images is also 17

Included the official sly search bar (visual look only) at the top

There is a bit of a problem with this though, i'm hoping it might just be on my box that can be easily fixed, i am getting a black border at the top and side of the tv picture in the mini tv - i've checked my visibility settings and they are correct, and it was fine before i started messing with this!!

Screenshots :

1_0_1_1653_7EA_2_11A0000_0_0_0 (6).jpg

Hope that's good enough; but if anyone wants to tweak to improve any better, feel free, here's the official sly screen if you want to compare :

danmed / gman or someone who knows, who wants to do the rest? i've created a thread for pulling in the images which i will start updating once this is finalised

thread here :
HTML:
http://www.techkings.org/openvix-openatv-skins/104530-slyk-1-hd-top-picks-todays-picks-mod.html#post588637

Just need the shell script incorporated into it (I have no idea how myself) to pull the images from the net from the above link

if anyone knows how i can fix my preview screen visibility, please let me know !!

Files are mymods.xml and new set of sly icons

Unzip toppicks zip , ftp mymods.xml and skyicons folder to slyk-1-hd folder, restart gui

Hey that's cool...

I'm not sure i'll be able to download the images straight from the thread though.. It'll need to be on a host which i can literally point the script at the files or zip file.

Something like IMGUR or Dropbox that can cope with the bandwidth.

We can then just offer the shell script as a download with instructions on how to set up a cron job
