    OpenVix Custom EPG

    For those that keep asking, the following is taken from another forum:-

    OpenVix Custom EPG

    This plugin allows you to:-


    • Re-assign/customise the 4 coloured key options (Red, Green, Yellow & Blue) within the Graphical EPG of OpenVix
    • Display channel numbers within graphical EPG
    • Allow entering and switching to a channel within Graphical EPG **


    HOW TO CHANGE COLOURED BUTTON OPTIONS WITHIN EPG:
    1. Menu > Setup > System > EPG > Graphical EPG settings
    2. Scroll down and select the coloured button you wish to change (ie "Red button") and choose, from available options, what you wish the button to do.
    3. Press <Green> button on remote to save settings


    HOW TO DISPLAY CHANNEL NUMBERS WITHIN EPG:
    1. Menu > Setup > System > EPG > Graphical EPG settings
    2. Under "Service Title Mode", choose an option that includes channel number
    3. Under "Use Channel Numbers from First Bouquet", select the main bouquet (normally "All Channels").
    4. Press <Green> button on remote to save settings


    HOW TO ALLOW ENTERING AND SWITCHING TO A CHANNEL WITHIN EPG:**
    1. Menu > Setup > System > EPG > Graphical EPG settings
    2. Under "Use ZapTo Channel", select 'Yes'
    3. Press <Green> button on remote to save settings

    ** This option has to be support by the skin. Currently, only Red-HD, Blue-HD and VixBMC 1080 Confluence Skins are supported. These skins have to be pre-installed prior to installing this plugin to work.

    NOTICE:
    I recommend making a full image backup of your current image before installing this custom EPG mod plugin.

    This should work on most enigma2 boxes running recent OpenVix image.

    This plugin makes a backup of key original EPG files before installation and providing there were no errors, these key original EPG files are restored upon removal of this plugin.

    PRE-REQUISITE (These are IMPORTANT):
    • Recent OpenVix image (currently 4.1/4.0/3.3)
    • If required, Blue-HD skin installed and setup before installing this plugin; and/or
    • If required, Red-HD skin installed and setup before installing this plugin.


    HOW IT WILL LOOK:
    Below are some screenshots of how the setup should look depending on whether Blue-HD or Red-HD skin has been installed from within the image plugin feeds:-

    Code:
    http://i.imgur.com/5ueGjzh.gif
    5ueGjzh.jpg


    (screenshot is of Blue-HD only)

    HOW TO INSTALL:

    1. Please make a full backup of your current image first.
    2. Using FTP (eg FileZilla), ftp this file over to "/tmp" on your box.
    3. Using telnet, type "opkg install /tmp/*.ipk" or use install local plugin option within image
    4. Restart your box.


    Version 1.16 is only for use with images upto 4.1 016. It has been adapted to be in line with the trashcan sort feature that was recently added


    DISCLAIMER:
    As this plugin makes slight modifications to some EPG files, menu options and skins, it's therefore possible that this plugin can cause your system to crash or worse-case cause a boot-loop due to new changes OpenVix/OE-A alliance team may make after this plugin has been released.

    Although it's rare that these EPG files may be changed, it's still possible. I will update beginning of this thread with current image I've tested upto. Therefore, if using on a newer version that I haven't tested then please be cautious and ensure you have backed-up your image first.



    Thanks to the various people involved especially Matt & DarkDreamingDan. I would like to thank anyone else involved.

    Nice plugin, only real issues so far:
    ** This option has to be support by the skin. Currently, only Red-HD, Blue-HD and VixBMC 1080 Confluence Skins are supported. These skins have to be pre-installed prior to installing this plugin to work.
    As it kills default skin with bsod, can't those files be backed-up, replaced too with working files on install?

    No. Because every time the skin is updated the BSoD would return.

    What are the options for each coloured button? What about CH+&CH-, can these be changed?

    @judge,

    My mistake, I added the default skin to list of supported skins after I took it from the forum I got it from. I have asked for my first post to be amended with original plugin which I tested and was fine.

    @TK4|2|1
    The list of available coloured key options are:
    • Add/Remove Timer
    • 24+ Hours
    • 24- Hours
    • IMDB search
    • Bouquet List
    • Show Movies List
    • Record - same as record button
    • Goto Date/Timer
    • EPG search


    This mod changes the ch+/- so that it scrolls up/down the channels.

    This is brilliant news, just what I've been waiting for on vix image.
    Just to confirm, it won't work on youvix skins?

    It's only the "Allowing of entering and switching to a channel within Graphical EPG" that is dependent upon skin being modded to allow it to work. Other features will work regardless including customising coloured key options.

    Here is the original plugin that worked when I tested it. The one originally posted has a problem due to it trying to mod the default skin which conflicted with that plugin.

    See my post #10. Only some features are dependent upon skin being modded to allow it to work.

    As you know Vix has a lot of skins so it would be a time consuming processes to go through them all.

    Hi,

    two questions:

    1. Does this EPG mod also have the Bouquet names displayed as tabs along the top?

    2. Will it affect powertimes - the other epg mod seems to affect powertimers.

    Thanks.
