rossi2000
12-01-14, 20:27
ok, those who installed v2.0.5 ipk, i made more updates and now updated to 2.0.6
please try a software update now, it should find 1 updated package available.

for some reason when you go into view the changes, it doenst show my package update, i need to find out why.
but if you press upgrade and reboot, it'll grab the new version and install it.


once done, you can check if your running 2.0.6 by going to the remove plugins section and looking at blue-hd version number.


ive just done it myself and now running 2.0.6,
let me know if all ok.

Excellent job Rossi! Looks really well.

I see Bandit148 has installed via the software update but when I checked the feeds theres nothing listed, has it been removed?

rossi2000
12-01-14, 23:30
hmm, delete the rossi2000 file from /var/lib/opkg/lists and try again please

if that dont work
try removing the skin and re-installing 2.0.5 and then try again

seame
13-01-14, 00:18
I've been trying to install using the feed.conf method but I've just noticed you've edited the first post so I take it this no longer applies? The ipk installs fine.

rossi2000
13-01-14, 00:26
ah right, ye if you can install the ipk and then try an update, see how it goes. let me know

13-01-14, 00:32
Rossi, using 2.0.6, nice work on the skin, thank you.
Just a couple of niggles if you don't mind.

The Multi EPG screen (default left/right joypad button) - the timeline bar is pretty hard to read with the light blue background & yellow text.

31839

The File list/planner screen doesn't show the length of the movie anywhere, also the current time seems to be aligned right leaving it jump as seconds change, maybe better off aligning it left?

31840

The EPG/Guide screen has the same slight cosmetic issue with the current time. Also, has the unneeded button bar that does nothing. Might be worth replacing those icons with actions that work so users can see what the skin/image is capibable of on those screens. TV button for bouquets, Numbers for EPG jumps & so on...

31841

When you press the TV button for list of bouquets in the EPG/Guide screen, the selected bouquet is currently unreadable.

31842

The first & second infobar screens don't show any HD/TT/REC and so on icons, presume it doesn't include the system update icon so?
Might be good to add them so atleast a user knows when an update is available.

31843

No worries if you don't want to do any of the above, just thought I should point them out.

seame
13-01-14, 00:36
I've tried an update after installing the ipk but there's nothing in the feeds. Should I be seeing 2.0.6? or does the software update update the skin automatically?

rossi2000
13-01-14, 00:53
yo cheers
this isnt all my work, its a joint effort by myself and simonsez on this forum too.

multi-epg i think youve attached the wrong screen?

the planner shows the length of the show in the top left under the logo, as in your pic, its 67mins long :)

i see what you mean about the time, i re-align as you suggested, ta.

i will look at that unreadable epg shortly.

the infobar has been kept clean as possible, thats why no icons, im trying to suss out the best place for the software update icon, as it does need one. i have it placed already under the time on the right hand side of the infobar but ive not enabled it yet. maybe it'll go on the secondinfobar i dunno yet.


thanks for the input, i'll makes the changes to git shortly and then put the online update on.

when youve installed the skin with the ipk.
run software update, it should detect 1 package avaialble. select upgrade and reboot.

Just another idea...
The progress bar on first & second infobars is pretty hard to see.
Maybe change the contrast of the progress yellow, or add a pixel above & below so it stands out a bit more.
As it is, I doubt most folks will spot it.

rossi2000
13-01-14, 01:18
ahh right ye multi quick-epg. i'll finish that off along with the graphical view mode of the epg too this week.
if you want the fix i'll be doing, is to put back the original TimeLineDate and TimeLineTime pngs in the epg folder of the Blue-HD skin from Night-HD

When I run software update there is two packages but when I go to view them the only one showing is a picon package.

Edit

Just to add I've tried the update and nothing happens

rossi2000
13-01-14, 01:25
yes thats right, i explained in one of the first posts, that the software update is detecting the new update but not shoiwing it in the view changes screen, i need to find out why.

if you go ahead and update it will grab the latest.

im putting in a build number reference now on the about information screen so you check what version your running.

seame

I should have stated in the last post that I had already gone ahead with the update but it wasn't successful. I had just edited my last post when I seen yours.

13-01-14, 01:40
VERSION 2.0.7 online update available.

new menu screen
many fixed, additions, changes
skinned crossepg, more moviebar edits, new picon_default
added logo to information screen
re-aligned the time on various screens
enabled software update icon on the infobar.

information screen now contains the build number so you can see if your on the latest build.

rossi2000

im really not sure why your having the issue mate.

try this,
set the default skin and then completey uninstall the skin, from remove plugins and delete all the files in /var/lib/opkg/lists aswell.
restart e2
install v2.0.5 ipk, restart e2.

try a software update to 2.0.7.

if its still failing for you, just install the ipk for now please

Thanks Rossi, time now aligned to left on various screens, so looks better.
Timeline bar still missing from Multi EPG.
Update icon working on first infobar, not on second infobar.

Inbuilt screens, (long yellow) IMDB look slightly odd with transparancy working in certain areas & not others.

yup i'll sort the timeline tomorrow evening.
i only added the update icon to the infobar atm, it will come to the secondinfo bar soon.

im slowly working through plugin screens. whilst adding skin support to others that arent, like autobouquets 28.2e from lraizer, i skinned that to vix.
ive added imdb to the to-do-first list.

you can have multiple skins installed but they take up valuable memory and you can only use one at a time any way.

attached the ipk aswell.

The update still isn't showing in the list but it does update the skin.

Should the update icon be flashing?

rossi2000
13-01-14, 19:36
yes ive found out the rreason it doesnt show in the view changes page, its no fault of my feeds or the skin, but the vix server, (its no fault really just that my information isnt held on the vix server)
it will be fixed soon.

the icon will start to flash once the software update does its routine 6 hour check online and finds updates. (you can reduce the 6hour check in the settings if you want)
and as im putting online that there is a new version you wont see the icon flash as you are going staright to the software update for it. if u get what i mean.

Love it, couple of little things.
For Vu+ solo2 on Vix, the EPG rows set to 7 and not 8 as you advise as 8 doesn't look right, cuts bottom of text in boxes. 7 rows looks perfect.

When playing media from a NAS (network hard drive) the time gets cut off on info banner, it doesn't show the last digit. eg, (3.15pm 25 seconds) 15:10:25 shows as 15:10:2 yet shows correctly when playing media from internal hdd or watching a programme.

It would be great if the recordings list was taller so I wouldn't have to scroll down so much for recordings.

So far this skin is fantastic I have set it on both my vu+ boxes. Best sly blue skin by far. EPG looks really nice and clear, makes it easier to find stuff to watch, etc.

Thanks for your input. I'm back tomorrow from working away. I will look at what you suggested and make the necessary adjustments and put out an online update. Cheers

Edit. Did you change the timeline font in the epg as well to -3? If so can I have a screenshot of the text problem with 8 rows. I thought I had it done perfect :-)

I thought I had it done perfect :-)Followed your instructions to the letter on two vu+ solo2 boxes. using 8 lines means the space below the text in a box on the epg is much much thinner than the top and text slightly cut off. It looks perfect with 7 lines instead. Maybe this is box specific?

One other thing, the playback info bar is blue most time but during live pause two boxes appear, one for programme and one above it for the media play pause time remaining etc, not blue. Two boxes one on top of each other doesn't look as good as one box. I wouldn't know what to suggest but you have done an amazing job so I'm sure you will continue to do so.

the now and next Infobar shows now and next but description for programme on now only, not the next one. Also, on other skins it shows how many minutes of the current programme have passed in +mins and how many left in -mins. I like that I don't know about other users.

I would prefer not to see the name of the skin in the top left, Blue HD in use. I kinda like things understated but again that's just my preference.

Congrats again on this amazing skin.
I hope you continue to develop this and create others too, I love the layout of recordings showing in the middle rather than to one side like other skins.

rossi2000
15-01-14, 22:46
yo

its not box specific, so i'll look at the EPG rows when i get back.

yes thats the timeshift bar that appears above the infobar, i have already changed this and it will be out in the next online update.

yep thats intended to show only the now programme, skys doesnt show next info afaik when i checked my sky hd box.


the skin logo is in the top left on the EPG as i couldnt get the picon to show at the time, when i can sort it, it will show the picon like the other screens. (nothing wrong with a little branding :) )


im trying to keep it close to sky as possible but still retaining some of the normal/vix things in it. there are so many ways you can do things. too hard to please everyone.

there have been quite a few changes since 2.0.8

seame
15-01-14, 23:03
Just a small bug I've picked up on.

When in the channel list (1st pic) if the info button is pressed it brings up the 2nd image. The bar that highlights the channel has been changed but as you can see the background is black.

yup some of those screens still need to be skinned like the rest, some stuff im still deciding on the best way to do them, i dont want to rush in and then have to re-do them later. ive almost sussed the way i want those particular screens to look, just need to code them and sort the graphics.

some things that i do change will have a knock on effect to other screens as you can see from the yellow bar.

I love this skin and it passes the wife test as well. thanks so much. I have one request that might not even be possible. I love the info bar. it is identical to sky in look but not function. would it be possible to navigate only with the infobar. navigate up/ down to browse channel and left/ right for the epg. currently I press up and it changes channel. I want it to browse up without changing channel. if I press left it brings up another epg that has that function but looks completely different. very confusing for the wife. Then it would function exactly sly a sky box.

This is the same on all skins so it might need vix development. thanks for all the hard work.


This is the one I want to use for everything.

This is the one I want to get rid of.

hi,
thanks for your input.

ive looked at this at the beginning, unfortunatley i dont believe thats possible.
i looked at it at the begining of creating the skin.


i dont think it will get implemented, might be alot of work just for a skin, so it maybe not worth while.

seame
16-01-14, 17:27
There is a plugin called virtualzap that might do what you want.

bigflause
16-01-14, 17:45
is there a feature request section that we could add this to for other devs to jump on board?

I could never see the point in having two info-bars. would be a lot more intuitive to use.

rossi2000
16-01-14, 17:48
virtual zap does the same as quick-epg doenst it?

seame
16-01-14, 17:51
You would need to ask Rossi2000 if its possible to skin it and if its worth his while to do so as most use the vix version of it.

seame
16-01-14, 17:54
virtual zap does the same as quick-epg doenst it?


Yep it does the same, the only difference is if you have a twin tuner virtualzap gives you pip on the infobar where the picons would normally be.

You can't see it in the screen shot but it does work.

31958

rossi2000
16-01-14, 17:55
i have an idea!!

what would be good is if quick-epg can be made to work in reverse.
i could probably do the infobars properly then

quick-epg works = right/left change channel, up/down change epg

we need = right/left change epg, up/down change channel.

bigflause
16-01-14, 17:58
can you also change the layout to look like the infobar?

I have added a request here in case anyone know how to implement it.

this will be fixed soon.

you can still go ahead and install the updates and then you can check the information screen to see what build your on. it should be v2.0.9



ive attached the latest ipk, but please try to use the software update function, i implemented this so theres no messing around with ipks for users.

18-01-14, 17:19
ok cheers mate, do i delete the folder from in ftp yes?

and which version of the ipk is best to install?

and wer is the ipk file going tmp?

rossi2000
18-01-14, 17:35
change skin back to vix-night-hd.
then delete the Blue-HD from /usr/share/enigma2

restart e2
then transfer the 2.0.9 ipk to /tmp and install in install local extensions

rossi2000
18-01-14, 17:37

Edit

I posted too soon, the icon is flashing again

18-01-14, 19:48
weird.... it cant be picking up an update from my skin as there isnt one.

so now when you do a software update what happens?

seame
18-01-14, 20:03
There are 3 ocram picon updates listed now when I run software update. Is the icon for any new updates on the vix feeds or just for your skin?

rossi2000
18-01-14, 20:06
haha its for all updates not just my skin :)

hmm that got me thinking, if i can put a different colour update icon and it only flashes that colour for my skin updates..

Lol, that explains it! Keep up the good work the skin is looking superb

jacquesy90

change skin back to vix-night-hd.
then delete the Blue-HD from /usr/share/enigma2

then transfer the 2.0.9 ipk to /tmp and install in install local extensions

did that mate, still getting error..... cannot alocate memory.....failed to extract control file from...

with version 2.0.9 FULL screen EPG wouldnt show description of the programme highlighted and the times along the top were blurry. EPG with the programme showing in top right corner was fine.

I have updated my box and absolutely love the pause/play button, the new pause bar, everything is amazing. I will report back after I update living room box regarding the EPG issue.

rossi2000
20-01-14, 22:04
yo, thx for the input :)

if you havent done so please change your full epg screen to text mode only.
graphics mode has a bug in atm.

do you still have the prob in 2.0.10?

also could you post a screenshot of the things you mentioned in your first paragraph?

Already had EPG on text mode.

I took a screenshot of the problem on version 2.0.9 the other night.
As you can see the times are blurred, in blue, fuzzy. There is no programme description in the top left corner of the programme highlighted, the EPG takes up the whole screen. On other skins the FULL screen EPG leaves a little room to show programme description.

All settings done as you stated / requested.

I will check once I update the living room box if the problems still exist

Looks amazing so far cant believe how good it looks.

Since i installed this skin my Recording logo on the LED screen on the solo2 boxdoesnt come up during recordings. dont know if its related.

zino
21-01-14, 04:42
ignore my comment about the recording logo, after a couple of hours i have discovered it is a timeshift bug, took me ages and a lot of thinking.

Fantastic skin that is coming along great, you havw given us more than we could ask for and continue to do so.
Only thing i would request is again more space to see my recordings when i enter the recordings list. most of it is taken by by the theme, perhaps squeeze a few more lines out.
and on full screen epg some other skins show description so it would be great if this skin does too.

Keep it up, I hope you create other plugins and such I would definately try them, this skin is top drawer and gets better and better

rossi2000
21-01-14, 09:17
yo, cheers for the input.

the text was kept yellow on the graphical epg, just to fix the problem, this screen still needs to be skinned, but i dont know in what style yet.

if you want the programme description in EPG can you change the PIG version? that looks way better than the standard graphical epg and has what you want.
but i will look at what you suggest aswell when i come to skin it.

ive added your suggestion about the planner to my list and will look it soon.

My family do not like the picture in graphics EPG, whereas I love it.

I have switched back to graphical EPG from text as you fixed that in the last not latest update. I have gone back to 8 lines of EPG instead of the 7 I personally felt worked better for text EPG. Looks great.

I look forward to trying the update. This skin is by far my fave skin and the one I am sticking to. Not just because it is reminiscent of Sly TV but it looks so slick, clean and glossy/professional. I don't know how you are doing it as others have apparently struggled.

I am loving it.

Wonder what latest update brings :)

i know what you mean, the graphics are second to none and dont look tacky/crap.

you must thank simonsez he is the whizz behind the graphics, he does the graphics and i do the coding.

also as i dont have to keep re-doing my infobars etc cos we got it right first time, you wont see much change on them really, most of the stuff now is skinning the the hundreds of different screens in line with blue-hd, quite a tedious task but it needs to be done so were not just doing half a job.


obviously we welcome any and all input to see what we could do better.

you can remove some lines of code from the infobar, i will let you know when i get home.

i might introduce a solution whereby you can change things from the menus. without having to maintain 2 skins.

a blue-hd config tool or something.

seame
24-01-14, 22:41
I installed the bootlogo ipk then run the software update and rebooted. The box took over 10 minutes to start up again which is a lot longer than normal, also crossepg data didn't return when it eventually did start up. I'm not saying it has anything to do with the skin update I'm just posting in case it has.

The bootlogo looks great!

rossi2000
24-01-14, 22:51
hmm ive never seen that before on a online update.

i have seen that before though when my usb stick lost its mount point.

a few people i know who've already done the update didnt mention anything went like that.

tbh i cant see the update taking so long, unless its downloaded something else?

seame
24-01-14, 22:57
The only other packages that were updated were 3 ocram picons that always seem to be there. Would a debug log work with a software update? if yes then I'll enable before your next update. Hopefully it was just a one off.

Larry-G
24-01-14, 22:58
Excessive boot time could be a number of things such as the receiver doing a checkdisk on the HDD at bootup, the only way to know for sure would be to log the bootup with a rs232 session in putty.

rossi2000
24-01-14, 22:59
im not to sure about the debug log, but ye good idea see if it happens again and if the debug log gives us any information :)

If memory serves the image does generate a update log when the receiver is updating, not sure where that lives though or if its only generated when using the image manager to flash the image.

yes i know, the problem exists in the original vix-night hd skin aswell you just cant see it as much due to the colours used on it.
it stands out alot more on mine becuase of the light background used on the timeline.

ive not found a way to fix that yet, thats the only problem i can see atm with the timeline.

First of all I'd like to say it's an excellent skin & keep up the good work. Is there a way of amending (tweak or an adding-on) the skin where the ECM/SNR/AGC/Transponders/Provider/Encryption are displayed as in the pics in post #1 (2ndinforbar.jpg) when zapping channels (like the vix nightly tweak posted).

rossi2000

ah thats looks like the secondinfobar has been used for the firstinfobar.

that will require some extra work. it wont be as easy to do that, youd have to edit the png with photoshop etc. not something i want to undertake just for that dude.

hopefully someone else who wants that feature could help you out or something, sorry i cant be of much assistance with that right now.


this skin is pretty much done apart from some graphics we are going to replace in the near future and fix a couple bugs that we found.

i can post up the pngs later if i still have them, the bootlogo has moved along nicely since i posted that one.Lol, I actually read through and found an application that converts jpegs to mvi files and then I just ftp them across but thanks for the info, I guess I assumed I wouldn't find it so easy by myself.



Called
Dream Logo Generator

the ftp side doesn't work for me maybe because of default password but I just ftp it across with filezilla.
Now I will start on the spinners.
I want to make it very generic basically, no branding of any sort. I am looking to keep the look of blue hd without the name blue hd, that will be the next bit after I install a generic spinner. I just like things without labels/branding mostly lol.

Love the support for these boxes.

rossi2000
12-02-14, 17:58

I was wondering if you could possibly bring out a version with the default channel list selection screen that Vix HD Night has. I have been trying to do it myself but I am totally lost, otherwise great skin.

I have removed this skin and my box is doing a software update but it says nothing to update which it should say as there is nothing to update.The problem seems to be with the host server of the update by the looks of it.

Then it could be the Aidra virus issue,

The problem is that the hosting account for the blue hd skin i was using has been suspended ( http://rossi2000.x10.mx/ ) so the update will always fail... skin removed problem solved

This issue is not unique to me anyone using this skin will have the same thing if they try a software update

actually you dont need to remove the skin, just the feed for the time being until rossi fixes it.

Thanks, updated to latest version. I noticed that on the channel selection screen (when you press up or down, TV GUIDE) on the top left it shows the programme information and also the time it starts. Would it be possible to also have the time it ends?

Thanks

rossi2000
18-02-14, 23:39
yes i will add what you suggest to the next build,

ive added it to my todo list on github:-

Thanks,

Hi Rossi lovely skin
2 questions 4 u ru same rossi as from dboxuk???
Second i installed skin on openatv 3 and er images o4 on my vu duo everything works except signal info transpoder info
is this because is only vix compatible and not for other images of oe Alliance???

Larry-G
28-02-14, 15:45
yes he's that rossi, as for the skin although the OE-Alliance share a common GIT and build environment we still maintain our own Enigma2, so there may be slight differences and compatibility issues between OE-A member teams images for skins and plugins etc.

Oh my god I remeber doing a backup of his lovely dbox uk v212....
Pheonix a bit off topic when will we see a openvix4.0 version???
Ill ask coz 3 version slow and buggy compared to ope.p.. 4 which I use most of times until I try a new version from u to see any improvements

Larry-G
28-02-14, 16:54
well you wont see openvix 4 as it does not exist, openvix 4 is just the code name we are using for the beta, the final image will have a different name, as for the release date, as soon as were happy with the finished product it will be released. should not be too far off now though.

28-02-14, 17:45
sorry mate i'm not saying this just to be a dick but we really cant give ETA's, any bug found for example can and does push the image release back, all i can say iis that we are very close and in the final stages of testing now.

According to the exact looks, whose skins matches the exact sky had one?

Fraggle or Rossi

simonsez
19-03-14, 21:56
well im slightly biassed. but from my point of view this was built by us both with the intention to replicate as close as possible within the enigma / vix setup and without having the sky logo plastered all over

I have just done a clean install of VIX Zeus on a VU+ Solo2. The most recent ipk for blueHD doesn't seem to install or show up in skins. Does it need an update to work with the new version of VIX ?? Is there a way to manually install it ?? I also can't see it in the plugin download manager.

thx

Your likely looking in the wrong place.

Menu> setup> system> user interface> skin setup.

Did look there but it doesn't show up. Installed some other skins with the plugin download manager and they show up fine.

Hi,

Love this skin. Only niggle I've found is with the MovieSelection screen. The ListBox shows 20 record items, but the text in the listbox is cut off at the bottom of each line to fit all 20 items into the available space.

33366

I've had a look at the skin file, and have found the line that shows the list...

<widget name="list" position="100,332" size="1075,310" zPosition="3" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" selectionPixmap="Blue-HD/buttons/FocusBar_H36x1075.png" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="skydarkblue" transparent="0" enableWrapAround="1" />
...but I'm struggling to work out how to change things. Ideally I'd like to reduce the number of records shown on the screen from 20 to (say) 10, or perhaps reduce the font size, but I can't find any way to do this.

Any ideas?

Hi guys, downloaded and installed the skin, great work!!

a shade for current program which appears to be missing on my own

Any ideas?

I suspect you may have your Graphical EPG set to text mode rather than graphics mode, it's easy enough to change it.

while in the graphical EPG mode hit the enter button to pull up the settings menu, you should be able to change it there, sorry i cant be more specific but i'm at work and not near a receiver to get the exact path needed.

rossi2000
25-03-14, 16:26
in later builds it was changed to be all blue. try to avoid using graphics mode epg as theres a bug which will display blocky timeline text. so text mode is preferred at this time.

im trying to source spare funds for a new box, my quad recently died.

although i have another box to use myself atm, there is no vix image for it :( and certainly not compatible with the brand new skin which we were working on before my box died.

so both projects are on hold atm.

hi, i just installed zeus on the Vu Duo and updated immediately.
i downloaded the IPK and the RAR, FTPd to /var/volatile/tmp (for some reason i dont have/tmp it just redirects there)
cannot find it anywhere on the box.
restarted, blue button/vix//install local extention/ nothing there
menu/setup/UI/skip setup nothing there

what do i have to do? ive been trying for over an hour now, googled till my eyes hurt. nothings working.

im on the very latest zeus as of today as software uodate says im on the current build

rossi2000
01-04-14, 13:32
you just need to ftp the ipk to the tmp folder, it certainly should show up in "install local extension" where you can install it from there
then it will be available for you to select it from the Skin Setup menu.

ive not been able to test this myself yet on zeus though.

as Phoenix said, Rossi's quad died so waiting to raise funds so he can dev with the box. we wanted the skin done weeks ago, but didnt plan for this bit. Again anyone want to donate a box to a good cause then by all means. I cant say much about the skin we are doing, but i promise it will be well worth the wait
