    So I tested the new code and it works :smiling face: .


    Just a curious thing, when I validate the settings from the menu, it's fast, when I validate them from the TV channel broadcasts screen, it can take quite a long time. The first time, I thought the session had crashed but it's just quite slow.

    Thanks, KiddaC, I'll test your code :smiling face: . Yes, I like to make changes whenever possible: source availability, good knowledge of the tool... I've made (very) small changes in Pli, but I have very little grasp of graphical interfaces and self functions. Plus, in Pli, there's no documentation in the programs. When I was developing, I spent a lot of time documenting my programs.


    For tabs, I had set them to insert 4 spaces in both Notepad++ and Spyder when I was programming. If I check, the cursor does indeed move 4 times when I use an arrow key. I don't have much memory left, but I think I did this because it had caused me problems.


    As for the comma, I saw what you did.


    Actually, since I made the change from the laptop, which has a very small screen, and not on the desktop, which has a large screen, I didn't see that I had inserted it into the "def __init__(self, session)" function :hushed face: . That's why it was crashing.

    On my device, I set the margins in my OpenPli image settings. This isn't within X-Streamity's control.


    What you call the interface is the skin? If that's the case, the skin you're using seems faulty.

    I've been having a bit of trouble using the settings screen since the catchup. First, after modifying the catchup.py file, when I reached the catchup screen, OpenPli would crash and restart.


    So I looked at your code and saw that the def functions were placed after the button declaration list. So after placing the def function after the button declaration, the modification worked, but I don't quite understand because I always put the def functions before the code that called them for it to work. Is this specific to the self functions, which I've never used?


    Another problem: when I modified the margins from the program list for the selected channel, it malfunctioned; it didn't take the margin changes into account.


    After several attempts, I realized that I had to go back to the channel list for the new margins to take effect (even though I had saved them before exiting the settings screen). Then, I select the channel again (sometimes I stay on the same one, sometimes I have to search for it again), then I select my show and press the record button.


    So, I have to exit the show list for the selected channel for my margin changes to take effect before starting a new recording. This is less of a hassle than going back to the first screen of X-Streamity to change the margins, but it's still a bit tedious.


    Is there a way to fix this?


    Thank you KiddaC :smiling face:

    I'm going to have another bizarre suggestion, but since it's problematic to schedule a live recording from the OpenPli EPG because if there's a problem, the recording stops, I download the replays.


    For a sporting event with multiple rounds and/or multiple categories, I download the various successive replays and, following their order of succession, I modify the margins. On the satellite, I made a global recording, but there weren't the problems encountered with IP.


    Would it be possible to access the margins screen from the replay screen, which offers the different programs? This would avoid having to exit it and go back up the menus, change the margins, and go back down to the replay. It's a bit tedious. Perhaps by pressing an available button (red, blue, yellow, green, etc.) or the Menu button :smiling face: .

    Otherwise, I wrote that for stream files, OpenPli's MovieManager didn't read eit files. I got confused. It's just that the edEIT program doesn't open the meta files of stream files, even though it does open their eit files, which is odd. Perhaps a poor design.

    Thanks for the various pieces of information. It seems that each piece of information in the meta files is stored in only one line. It remains to be seen whether a very long line would be truncated even if this information isn't read and/or displayed by OpenPli's Movie Manager.

    Do you know how many lines a meta file can contain?


    OpenPli doesn't display the meta file synopsis information. I looked to see if there was a way to change the display, but there's no documentation in the programs, and I'm not familiar with this programming style. I only used batch programming with Python.

    OK, I thought when you said Movie Browser, you were talking about a type of application and not the name of the plugin. This is due to the wording 'there is a movie browser', like 'there is a girl' instead of 'it's Pamela' :winking face: .


    So I found the Movie Browser app for Android, I don't know if it will work, and one for Enigma 2. So it might be worth trying (when I have some time).


    I rarely use edEIT, but it's very useful for completing or correcting a synopsis. But as I said, it doesn't open all .eit and .meta files. Maybe there's another app, but I haven't found it.

    I've been using recordings for a long time because I can skip backward, slow down, fast forward... On this subject, it works poorly with streaming in XStreamity.


    This way, I can watch the video whenever I want, even several weeks or months later, and while replays can be retrieved, they aren't kept for very long.


    When downloading with XStreamity, the .meta file only exists for .stream files. Some time ago, I wanted to open .stream.meta files with edEIT, but edEIT couldn't open it. So I used Notepad++ (for .meta files), but it's not at all practical and a bit risky. I wanted to add an .eit file built from another existing file, but enigma/OpenPli doesn't link it to the .stream file.


    I don't know what a PMT is.

    I recorded a movie a few months ago on DTT, but despite a recording margin, the ending isn't there. I found it in the movies offered by my IP provider, but if I download it, I don't get the synopsis. However, this synopsis is offered in XStreamity. By default, my Vu+ saves files in .ts format and retrieves the synopsis and movie data from an .eit file.


    So, is there a synopsis in an mkv file? Is it possible to retrieve it? Is it in Enigma/OpenPli that the link between .ts and .eit files is made?


    I found a utility that converts files (https://www.moo0.com/), but while it works well for several file formats, the conversion to .ts files is often poor (degraded image quality). I looked for another one but couldn't find one. Do you know one?

    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.


    With NewVirtualKeyboard:

    With the standard keyboard:

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

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

    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.


    With the standard keyboard:

    With NewVirtualKeyboard:

    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.

    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.
