  • Actually, the EPG import problem stemmed from the rytec.sources.xml file. Doglover provided a fix or workaround on the openpli.org website.


    However, when I select "Plugin" from the menu, I still get the error message:


    Some plugins are not available:

    Extensions/EPGSearch (cannot import name 'VKB_SEARCH_ICON' from 'Screans.VirtualKeyBoard' (/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/VirtualKeyBoard.py))


    And I don't understand Kiddac's response : 'shouldn't that be screens'. What can I do please?

  • contact pli as for uninstalling is not that easy try in virtual keyboard settings select normal keyboard then try ,

    deleating /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/NewVirtualKeyBoard folder because you need to disable newvirtual keyboard as it softlink and taken over normal virtual keyboard .


    Epgsearch or epgimport
    I just tried epgsearch on openatv and no problems

    then did new search

    And result is
    Capture2.PNG


    so no problems here with new virtual keyboard.


    As for rytec souces file that i do not understand what that has to do with virtual keyboard

    Ok found link rytec.channels.xml so you need to update rytec sources

  • I thought I was no longer able to import the EPG because of the NewVirtualKeyboard installation. However, it was a coincidence: the EPG was no longer imported because it was the 'rytec.sources.xml' file that was causing the problem and doglover has fixed it.


    When I want to uninstall a product that doesn't have an uninstaller, I reload a previous backup. I can also do this for products that do have one, as there may be traces of it in multiple folders.

  • With the standard keyboard, when I go to the EPG, the blue key allows me to search in the EPG (search for 'Moto GP', for example, to find the channel and broadcast time), but with NewVirtualKeyboard, the blue key displays 'Select channel'. Why? It's really annoying not being able to search in the EPG any more.


    And for your information, if I go to Hotkey, the 'Search in EPG' feature isn't present, whereas it is with the standard file.

    This could just be a skin problem we all use different skins as for uninstall that can be a problem for some plugins that do not come as IPK files ,

    But I did try to explain how to uninstall was only trying to help.

    Try XDREAMY SKIN

    Sorry Urie if you felt offended, that wasn't my intention at all.


    Yes, it's a shame this application is no longer available in IPK, it's easier to uninstall. Do you know if there have been many updates between 10.1 (it exists in IPK) and 13.1? And is it complicated to generate an IPK? I'm not very familiar with Unix and its derivatives.


    Is the skin you're talking about is the skin of my image (Pli)? Pli doesn't offer me the XDREAMY skin. I can try others, but I don't really see why changing the keyboard would change the skin's function. I think the applications manage the functions.

  • No offence taken have you tried going into graphicalEPG settings to see what oprion are available for buttons


    As for XDreamy skin check out openpli-skins

  • As I explained yesterday (2024/03/22) at 1:15 PM, the Hotkey plugin that allows you to change button functions no longer displays the 'search EPG' function when the NewVirtualKeyboard keyboard is selected. When I switch back to the standard keyboard, it appears.

    It's odd that the XDreamy skin isn't listed in the OpenPli extensions menu. I'll try installing it using your link later.
