    Movie Planner Mod (new link)
    Movie Planner Mod 2022 *New*


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



    00ed3cb0820ba9c3fc65.png


    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.*


    /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080/skin.xml


    Code
    <!-- <include filename="/usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080/q-vix.xml" /> -->

  • Frequently Asked Questions


    General Skin Questions

    Q) Do I have to uninstall any previous skins.


    A) No. You can install as many skins as you want. All my skins are sequentially named so you just need to install my skins over the top of old ones.

    If you are using any of my existing skins, switch to default skin before installing the IPK, so there is no clashing with the custom components I use.



    Q) I want to edit/faff/mod your skin, where do your files live on my box


    A) /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080



    Q) Will slyk skin work on [random box name]


    A) Just try it and see. It will either work, be part skinned, or not install at all. It won't break anything



    Q) My display seems to cut some of your skin off. How do I recenter everything.


    A) Menu... setup...system...user interface...position setup



    Q) I am struggling to use FTP software. Can I install your skin via a USB Stick


    A) Yes. You need to have the correct folder structure on your usb though. create a media folder. Inside that create a usb folder. Inside that place your
    ipk file.... media/usb/file.ipk



    Q) I have been faffing with your skin and now my box only counts up to 49 and then boot loops. Do I need to reflash.


    A) If your box is stopping at 49 count up. This is usually a skin problem. Either undo your last edit and save. Or delete my entire skin folder and
    install it again. Your box will then continue to load normally. No reflash required.



    Q) Will installing your skin reset all my personal settings


    A) Installing a skin does not effect any of your settings on your box. Installing a new version will override any modifications you have made in the
    skin files or extras.xml though.



    Movie Player Questions


    Q) My movie planner isn't skinned


    A) By default OpenAtv will use Enhanced Movie Center. This is not skinned. Either remove or disable EMC in plugins menu.



    Q) My movie planner is all squashed up


    A) Press menu button on movie planner and set the number of rows to <=14




    InfoBar Questions


    Q) Pressing OK twice brings up event view and not 2nd infobar.


    A) See recommended settings above. (OSD Settings)


    Q) What picons can I use with your skin


    A) Any size. I now have a custom picon resizer so all picons will upscale or downscale nicely.



    Q) Why has my picons got a coloured background


    A) OSD settings. Show picon background colour – Disabled



    EPG Questions


    Q) My epg doesn't look like your screen shots.


    A) Press menu on the epg and change the display type to graphics and not text.

    You might have the expanded epg displaying. If so hold the TV button on the epg to switch between normal and expanded epg.



    Q) My epg looks all squashed up. How do I make it more spread out like yours


    A) On EPG, press menu change the timescale option to be less. i.e 120 minutes.



    Q) On the EPG how do I switch between the bouquets.


    A) Press Prev or Next button. Or press TV button to bring up a bouquet list

  • Top Picks


    8b1a53eb2987f.png


    Toppicks only appears on the main menu. There is currently no alternative main menu without the toppicks graphics.

    If you do not install the toppicks mod, the main menu graphics will remain static.


    How to enable toppicks


    Install the toppicks ipk in the zip on the first post.


    make sure these 2 script files have executable rights.


    /usr/script

    (/usr/scripts for openvix)


    skypicker.sh

    skyscraper.sh

    Right click the file in your ftp software and edit file permissions to 755 or execute checked for owner/group/public.


    Set up crons to auto update the image.


    OpenAtv seem to have removed the automatic symlink for crons again.

    So to make sure it is setup correctly first time around use the cron manager via the menus to setup your first cron.


    openatv

    Info Panel / Plugins / CronManager


    fc033c7.png


    then you can add the cron for the auto image picker.


    Navigate to


    /etc/cron/crontabs

    edit "roots" file


    for example below is my 9am scraper as set in the above screen shot.

    the image picker is set to run every 30 mins.


    Code
    0 9 * * * /usr/script/skyscraper.sh 
    */30 * * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

  • 720 version of this skin can now be found in my dropbox. Skins > New Skins

    Dropbox link is under my avatar.

    You will still need a modern image though due to the new elements and button codes used in my skins.

    The 720 skins need TopPicks V5.2, which can now be found in any of my main 1080 skin threads (or the skin extras folder on dropbox)

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

  • skins-kiddac-shared-components v1.09

    New file on post 1


    A few tweaks for those people currently testing python 3.9.5 images

    This fixes compressed picon sets pngs not loading.
