Movie Planner Mod 2022 *New*

This skin will only work on newer builds due to the new botton codes being used.

Compatibility:

This skin will work on the majority of OE Aliiance builds (OpenATV 6.3, OpenVix, ItaltSat, openbh etc. Not OpenPli or Blackhole) and the majority of modern enigma2 boxes (ZGemmas - openatv, XTrends, VUs, Mut@nts, Edisons, dinobots etc.)

Installing the skin:

FTP the IPK file over to your temp folder. var/volatile/tmp.

OpenATV install instructions

• Menu... setup... software management... install local extension
• memory/tmp
• Press ok on the package
• press green to install.

Once it has installed you need to set it as your skin.

• Menu… setup… Usage & GUI… skin setup

Reboot your box if you are not prompted to.

---------------------------------------------------------------

OpenVix install instructions

• Menu > setup > VIX > Ipkg install
• memory/tmp
• Press ok on the package
• press green to install.

Once it has installed you need to set it as your skin.

• Menu… setup… System… user interface… skin setup

Reboot your box if you are not prompted to.

*Note for openvix user you will need to uncomment the vix include from skin.xml after install. There is a screen that clashes with openatv so has to be a separate.*
