I haven't looked at this yet no, i'm hoping i will get a chance tonight at some point - i still need to install kiddac's latest ipk v5.106 i think ; i'll update when i've looked at it.

Check your settings.

if you are using vix go into menu > setup > system > user interface > settings

check that 1st infobar timeout and show second infobar are enabled

if on atv it's similar but settings screens i think are named slightly different

if the problem still persists, try uninstalling slyk-1-hd and reinstall the latest version from kidaac's dropbox

Not able to add cron timer as can't see command line???

all instructions at https://github.com/danmed/toppicks

it will start with /usr/bin/python and then the location of the toppicks.py e.g. /usr/script/toppicks.py

Problem running manually

You welcomed mate. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks grantdavey91 just one more if I may when inputting the command in for the cron timer do I need to put the space in?

Chabs also a thank you from me for the mods

 

[kiddac]

am I missing something here. I don't get this.

looking at your github. you just seem to be bringing in 6 top picks pngs. Grant is going to manual update these 6 images, which then replace the ones in your box.

Where is the automation. And why can't users just replace the images themselves.

---------- Post Merged at 09:51 PM ----------

surely the better option is to create loads of top pix graphics upload them to github, and then randomise them in the script. none of this making one guy update them daily thing.

sorry hideout i can't really see what you've tried to do on that screen what's all the [6n stuff? after you've telnet into your receiver just put /usr/bin/python /location of py

chmod isn't necessary now as it's a python script and not the original idea of shell script

Tried FTP file to that location and upon trying to enter /usr/bin/python folder it boots me out of FTP

I'm assuming I don't have permissions setup correctly to allow me access

It's another idea kiddac to create a random bunch of graphics that randomises the screen, although i offered to update these online manually once every 2 days or so based on the latest progs/movies/tv picks - i get that it would work with a whole lot of random picks pngs in the github, but i'm on the comp most days anyway and most days i'm always doing something with the box, as well as i maintain full packs for channel picons for sat and cable for both lcd screen and gui - so i thought whats another task really :) i honestly don't mind doing it but if there is a better way to remove the manual side of it, it could always be tried out :)

as far as anyone using it, it's going to be automatic for them and they don't need to do anything :)

you don't need to access it through FTP, you only need to FTP the toppicks.py to a location of your choice. a popular location would be /usr/script or var/script (you will need to create the folder, right click, create directory)

python in /usr/bin is just a symlink it's not a physical folder ; in telnet type all on the same line /usr/bin/python /location/of/toppicks.py

for example, if you were to place toppicks.py in /usr/script FTP into your box, enter /usr , create directory 'script' , put toppicks.py in script folder

go to cron timers on your box, enter how often you'd like to update and command will be /usr/bin/python /usr/script/toppicks.py

then to check it's working telnet into receiver, and put the command /usr/bin/python /usr/script/toppicks.py hit enter and then check the top picks screen

Everybody that's copied masses of code that include huge screenshots over the past few pages would you be able to go back and edit your posts to take them out please to clean up the thread a little to make it easier for other users to see. doesn't take long. thanks

doh my bad i deleted the toppicks7.png which isn't in the upload list :whistling:

 

[grantdavey91]

Hi mate

the mod as promised. I can see that kiddac has already implimented the service icons on the epg screen...but he is usinf text and I am using graphics....so you have to delete his to get mine to work or u can choose to kip his...

hi chabs, really sorry i can't manage to get any of the tweaks to work.

in your how to file :

Instructions:


-------- Graphics


- Copy all the pngs in Background folder to: usr/share/enigma2/slyk-1-hd/mybackgrounds
- Copy all the pngs in Icons folder to: usr/share/enigma2/slyk-1-hd/myicons

that's done

-------- Code


- Open epg.xml in usr/share/enigma2/slyk-1-hd
- copy the below codes:


<!-- dark panel & division graphics -->


<ePixmap name="panel" position="252,267" size="968,36" pixmap="mybackgrounds/spanel-dark.png" zPosition="1" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" />
<ePixmap name="bar" position="255,273" size="860,22" pixmap="mybackgrounds/bar.png" zPosition="2" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" />


<!-- ch+ & ch- texts -->


<eLabel name="new eLabel" position="1118,307" size="63,30" backgroundColor="skyblue" foregroundColor="un5884ab" text="ch+" font="Regular; 25" transparent="1" halign="right" zPosition="2" />
<eLabel name="new eLabel" position="1110,622" size="68,27" backgroundColor="skyblue" foregroundColor="un5884ab" text="ch-" font="Regular; 25" transparent="1" halign="right" />




- add the codes in:


<screen name="GraphicalEPGPIG1">

i tried and tried at first with the above but it wasn't working, then i realised i am using GraphicalEPGPIG2 for the sly tabs hack , so i edited my extras.xml back to GraphicalEPGPIG1, rebooted and got the panel tabs / ch+ ch- but could only see 'All Channels' bouquet, presumably because i changed from EPGPIG2 to EPGPIG1?

I decided to carry on thinking it would all come together

the next part of your instructions for timeline text and service icons - i took a while to find on the current epg.xml, and disabled it and pasted yours, updated on box and rebooted but when i went on epg my box crashed, then i noticed there was another piece of code also called timeline text, i disabled it and pasted yours, but it was the same result, box crashed.

i decided to leave that bit for the time being, then i looked at the next part, service icons, the only part in epg.xml saying epg service icns was already disabled, so i pasted yours under it, but the box crashed again

Having a few issues lol, your instructions are probably clearer than what i am thinking maybe i am misunderstanding what you mean though?

It looks like with the pngs included in your download, all that needs amending is parts of the epg.xml

would you mind uploading your version of epg.xml that i could use if possible?

And do i stay on EPGPIG2 for the tabs hack to get it all working?

I'm going to leave it for now before i really muck things up lol, thanks in advance :)

Yeah...its not ur fault mate. It would be the colour coding. I will change the colour codings for you so that it matches kiddacs.

Dont stress much about it. Will sort it for you tomorrow.

Done the correct folder and correct script thanks , upon manual telnet run I now get syntax error at line 1

Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

check the cron timers are running on your box

if you have whooshbuild there should be a plugin called cron manager, go into it and list crontab which should display the command

then go into restart options and restart

or you can go into menu > timers > cron timers and look at the top to see if it's running , if its red, hit the blue button to activate

 

[hideout10uk]

Cron manager running with correct path /usr/bin/python /usr/var/etc/toppicks.py
When telnet in and inputting same comes up invalid syntax line 1

Hideout Have you got the images to actually change running the script? I set a cron timer for 5.45am and woke up this morning to find all the images changed so it defiantly works.
