SKY.HD Skin +cool tv guide skin

[Larry-G]

hi can you install this skin on a skybox f5s if so, how do I install it as I have never done anything like this before

sorry but no enigma2 skin would work with a skybox f5 or any other closed source based receiver, they are just too different.

I'm having all sorts of issues here.

So, I've read through this thread and have come to the conclusion that I can either install CoolTvGuide, OR use this skin without the cooltv plugin if I install enigma2-plugin-skin-skyhd_0.6_all.ipk. Is this right, or do I still need CoolTvGuide?

If I don't need CoolTvGuide and this is a separate installable skin for VIX itself, does this work with the latest Vix image Apollo?

I've started with a fresh build, fresh Apollo and put the ipk of skyhd_0.6 on the box. The installed runs, say configuring then finishes with no errors or 'complete' or anything, just stops.

Reboots, soft or hard make no difference to my planner.

Am I missing something? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

What is it you're after in the first place?

What is it you're after in the first place?

This skin. As per all the images. I'm running vix and want to know if this is not for me, or if it needs something else.

[tayta]

lol what a plonker. You have to remember to apply the skin

For anyone else new to this, on the remote go to menu/setup/system/user interface/skin setup then pick your skin once installed.

Hi all what software is this based on? BH or ViX, I have BH 1.79 and when I install the ipk, I go to add the skin and it says its not compatible..

Thanks chris

What platform does this work on? I have Vu+ Duo running Black Hole.

Thanks Chris

Hi this is my first skin and I used the skin elegance.hd as a base. It is spposed to resemble the sky hd box. It took me quite long to make and I still have other things to finish off but I hope you like it.

The only cool tv guide screen that I have finished is cool tiny guide, I should be able to sort the other ones out when I have time.

I am not sure how to create an ipk package so just ftp the file into the skins folder
Tested only on Nbox 5800sx

For me second infobar is not working. If it is working for somebody else or if you know how to fix it please tell me. Thanks
To install skin
copy font to usr/lib/share/fonts
copy skin to usr/lib/share/enigma2

To install the cool tv guide skin just ftp the files into the right place in user/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/CoolTvGuide/Cool3d/mydesign
and
user/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/CoolTvGuide/Cool3d/menu
and user/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/CoolTvGuide/CoolSkin

Thanks and please leave feedback

It is built for Pli based images and is not compatible with BH images.

[piggy]

Thanks for the quick reply where can I get a Pli image from and will it still run ccams?

Thanks

It is built for Pli based images and is not compatible with BH images.

[Larry-G]

you can get pli images from the pli forum or you can try the ViX image from this forum which has cams available from it's own image feeds (you provide your own config files) and you can try the Blue HD skin from the feeds too which in my opinion is far better than the one in this thread as it is built specifically for the ViX image.

Hi all, I have just ordered my VU+ SOLO2 box, but not sure if it will come with Blackhole or VIX,

Now i want to have this skin on my box when i receive it, now i know it only works on vix, so if it has blackhole installed i will need to flash it to vix first wont it.

My questions are: 1. will this skin work with the lastest version of vix, which i believe is vix apollo 0.26 if im correct

2. How do i install this skin on the box ( please can somebody give me step by step as i aint got a clue)

3. and also, is this skin the full Sky HD skin, i mean does it include all the screens i dont understand about the cooltv guide thing


thank you hope somebody can help me

[thecaretaker]

I can answer 1 and 2 for you.

1. Yes

2. Go to the plugin menu, press green for download plugins. Find the blue HD skin, download it, then select the skin in the system skin settings menu. Reboot and Bobs your uncle.

[arnie2014]

ok thank you

But isnt this skin called the Sky HD+ skin, whats the difference between this and the Blue HD skin?

[Larry-G]

The Blue HD skin is specifically designed and continually updated for the ViX image, the sky hd skin has not been updated in a good while and as a result may not be as upto date with changes in the image.
