CrossEPG on VIX image

[t.ph]

Anyone got CrossEPG to work or are modifications needed?

I have manged to load/unpack & download data but cant actualy get to the CrossEPG screen!
I cant put up with CoolEPG any longer as it just takes too long to load (with or without picons) but mainly due to the awful colour scheme.

obviously you have done a manuel install

This is a new image, that appears not to surport CrossEPG via the downloadable plugins, at the moment, I would steer clear of unsurported plugins, or change image, unless you are able to resolve the issues yourself

but if you do get it sorted, please post a "how too"

Yes, working fine for me with 28.2E EPG - make sure you use the crossepg-enigma2_0.4.7-svn-56_mipsel.ipk version.

The CrossEPG in the plugins list just downloads the date - to configure you need to go to Menu/Setup/CrossEPG

I have that version and have configured it ok but cant view the CrossEPG screen! How do i bring that up?

[guff daddy]

Presuming you have configured correctly and downloaded the epg data, to view the EPG data just press the EPG button - should have 7 days EPG listed.

All im getting is the CoolEPG screen coming up. I have sucessfully dowloaded 28.2 data. The settings all seem correct as i have used this in the past so not totally alien to the setup but not used on the VU+ before.
Is there any setting that makes this the default?

The CrossEPG plugin is all about getting the EPG data, not displaying it. Installing it won't affect the Cool EPG at all. There is an alternative to Cool EPG (called Graphical Multimedia EPG) but it is similar to Cool EPG but without the same functionality.


By any chance, have you used CrossEPG on the IPBox/Cuberevo platform? That version (for SH4) included a seperate EPG display screen (very nice it was too, with series link/autotimer functionality built in). However it isn't included in the Dreambox/VU+ version.

Right i'm with you and YES i used to use it on my IPBox and that is what i'm thinking about with it's own GUI. Thanks mate, so it looks like i will have to just stick with this CoolEPG and it's garish colours for the time being until it's skinable.

[guff daddy]

The CrossEPG display was the best thing about the IPBox - that was a horrible piece of kit iirc.

[t.ph]

Your not wrong there buddy it was a nightmare piece of kit, but CrossEPG was good on it as i used it with the presidio black skin and it looked brilliant.

make sure your network connection is ok, by using the Check Network in the SETUP --> SYSTEM --> NETWORK
