zap to channel

[vadinho]

Hello this is my problem...with openvix 5.3 I can't zap a channel with more than three digits numbering ... for example I'm looking at channel number 1 and I would like to see channel number 17000 but digitization stops at the third digit and instead of going to channel 17000 I can only go to channel 170 because more than three digits cannot be entered. In the channel configuration I have not found any option to be able to type 5 digits instead of only 3.

Transfer the .py file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens
Restart, an updated .pyo file will be created
Delete the .py file after


Change is on line 926


if len(self.numberString) >= 6:


The file current says 4, not sure why it only allows 3 digits

We may add this commit (it picks in without a problem), but I am not too keen on an extra menu/config when just increasing the number of digits does not adversely affect things.

I wonder if it's possible to work out the max number of channels and use that rather than have to have an option

Increasing the number of digits did not actually make a difference during my test. The "pause" is after last key entry irrespective of number of digits. If you set maximum digits to =>10, entering, 11 behaves the same way as if the maximum digits => 3.

Hi I followed your instructions but unfortunately the image crashes as soon as I type only one number ... I tried to put the number 4 back in line 926 of the .py file but it always crashes as soon as I type only one number

I tested the file. Can you please upload the crashlog?

I modified the file for the current image 5.3 020, you are on 5.3 013 We added the number zap picon, that function is not in your image, this is why it crashed


Remove the file
Issue this command to update to 5.3 020



init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Then transfer the file again

Ok i restarted the dec

You have edited your post. First version implied there was a problem. Is everything okay now?

[vadinho]

You are very kind and it would be useful if you did it with TeamViewer ... but I would like to be able to do it alone to learn.
Now I have manually restarted the deoder and it restarted normally and the update was successful as per the attached photo. I can now repeat the operation of your post number 2?

Transfer the file I uploaded and try again.

[vadinho]

Ok I did it and now I can type more digits ... but if I have the channel list open this possibility is not there ... However, this is already much better ...Thanks!!!!

System temperature 67°C! That cannot be right?

From the image after 5.3 026, we will have an option to configure the number of digits. Options will be 3, 4 and 5 digits
