MetrixHD_MOD (Now includes a full 1080 HD version too)

[scwheeler]

Thanks to Lothar2 for putting me on to this skin.

This skin is not my work only 1% modded by me for a couple of features. It is an alpha as many screens are not completely compatible but it runs nicely with VIX unlike the original that was designed for VTI. I'm sure more/better updates will come from the websites below:

MetrixHD v1.1b by iMaxxx for VTI from mymetrix.de
MOD by BiNiCKNiCH from gigablue-support.net
MOD by Area51 from et-view-support.com
MOD by Taykun345 & ckone for OpenPLi 3.0 and from openpli.org

- Infobar resized and adapted
- Epg adapted and configured for new VIX bouquet changes
- Some icons and various other bits tidied up.


=====================

UPDATED 04.06.2013

*MetrixHD NOW IN FEEDS*

I'm pleased to announce you can download this skin directly from the Vix plugin menu. This means automatic updates every time you update your box and an easy install/deinstall.

Screenshots:

For those of you that have installed previous beta's you will need to fully uninstall to do this. If you do not know how to do this (and I don't!!) you will need to backup, reflash VIX, restore backup, and then install MetrixHD.

There will be future updates to the skin including a fully reskinned VIX menu from Sowa.

Everytime VIX is updated you will need to go into the plugin and save skin. This will ensure you are running the latest version of the skin.....this is intentional.

Enjoy......Steve


=============================

1080 update has been released!

You can now switch between the default 720 version and a new 1080 version using the MyMetrix plugin. The option is in the General settings page:

Any skinparts that you have previously downloaded WILL NOT be compatible until their authors update them/release a new version. To make things easier all default skin parts are now included automatically and so the skinpart selection screen looks like this:

1_0_19_52D0_814_2_11A0000_0_0_0-7.jpg

Bugs & To do list:

HD icon doesn't light up
History Zap screen needs to be skinned

I recommend using ZZpicons (400x240) for best results. Some screenshots:

Looks great, nice work...
To make skinning easier, try just skinning the screens you want, all other screens will default to current default screens so makes changes & downloads a lot smaller/easier.

Does it support the new Vix epg? (Press TV button to bring up bouquet list). I love the Vixbmc metropolis skin, but this feature doesn't work on it, hasn't been updated yet.

[scwheeler]

Yes it does support new epg. <> changes bouquet + tv brings up the bouquet list (I have only resized this at the moment, not reskinned it but it works!)

Thanks Judge - that's useful to know. Is there a program or easier way to skin? For example I've been moving a png by 2px in xml, restart enigma, do it again - very time consuming.

i really like this skin but is there anyway to turn off the big channel name?

also does anyone know any picons that dont look distorted with this skin?

[scwheeler]

Sorry but I don't think so unless anyone else knows away.

Try Ocram's new SHD transparent Picons from the feeds.They have been designed for this skin so should look pretty good.

i'll try the picons in the feeds then.. do they automatically update when you do a software update or do you have to manually update them?

like all other plugins from the feeds they will update as and when you do a image update this however can cause the update to take a bit longer as it erases and replaces every picon one at a time.

Hi Scwheeler i have ftp into usr/share/enigma2 but can't now find the skin on my duo, please can you help?On the latest vix build

[whislter]

guys need some help installing this skin :
I downloaded it from the original site installed it as a pack and did customization but the skin.xml remains at 0 - it created a skin.xml but its not filled with anything so when i restart the box as it asks me to do after customising the skin
it reverts back to default vix skin and never loads the metrix.hd
what i tried was downlaoding the skin.xml i got from one ofthe users on this site and then it loads all that skin and settings - but i cant change them or customise them to my own
i tried reflashing and installing the skin again from scratch about 3 times and its always the same - i can see the app openvix etc and all the customisation features and the Metrixhd option is there when i go to setup and selecting skin
but when it restarts it never shows the metrixhd and reverts back to vix skin

please help what am i doing wrong - why isnt the skin.xml being written
i also put the piccons on to the flash under xpicons/picon - and those not working either

thanks in advance guys - i have a vu+2 duo box and running openvix-3.0.808-

Hi all, I just installed this skin on my vu+ solo2 with vix image and I see it is not supporting hebrew fonts in epg. Is it true? Is there any way to fix that? Thanks

While I don't know anything about this, Sowa may be able to make a suggestion, as he has translated into Russian and may know how it works.

Here the problem is the lack of the necessary characters in the fonts used skin.
You need to replace the fonts setrixHD.ttf and OpenSans-Regular.ttf appropriate in shape in the catalog /usr/share/enigma2/MetrixHD/fonts/
You can take out the appropriate from Windows. Do not forget to set the correct permissions on the files (644) and restart enigma
