How to get Service type icon in infobar

[bbbuk]

Hi,

I use Confluence 1080 skin and wondered how I could easily get the Service type icon as shown in "Channel List Context Menu" (ie what displays when you press down arrow from Live TV - as shown in below pic)

I want these icons to also show in InfoBar (as shown in below pic)

Press the OK button

There's no icon there.

Picons are working fine on Confluence skin's infobar.Confluence Infobar picon.jpg. Picons are located here : \Root\usr\share\enigma2\picon\

This is what I get when I press OK, I thought that is what the OP wanted

[JonMMM]

sorry i thought the OP meant the info about sound and Video on picons, my mistake

Just to clarify, the question I am answering is: Is there a way to show an icon on the infobar (i.e. graphic, not text) that shows if the currently playing service is sat/cable/terrestrial/ATSC/Stream, etc. ChannelSelection is different because those icons are being added in the c++ code (listboxservice.cpp), not in the python code and are therefore not controllable from the skin.

Right now I don't think there is a converter with a conditionalShowHide for that purpose. I've ask Rob to confirm this, but I can't see anything. If not we can add this to a converter so these types of icons can be conditionally displayed.

Adding would be easy but need to know for certain this is not duplication.

That is correct, @Huevos.

I use a mixture of DVB streams (ie FTA channels) and IPTV streams thanks to your "<stream url>" CustomMix tag feature and it's not possible, from EPG or InfoBar, to know whether channel is a normal DVB stream (ie Sat/Cable/Terrestrial) or an IPTV stream. Eg in my first picture, channel 105 is Sat and channel 106 an IPTV stream

Thanks for looking into this

[Huevos]

Not sure about the IPTV stuff.

Have a play with this...

That is correct, @Huevos.

Confussion probably because you said "service type" when you meant "DVB type". "Service type" is the third group in the service reference.

I think that is what its referred to in context menu when I was on that screen.

Copied files over nothing on bottom half of infobar for me including no next programme nor other details. I have no mods in place except this so it maybe a setting I have and you don't? I'm using 5.4.007

What's up with that? All the icons are missing. Have you restarted it? Are there any other changes?

[bbbuk]

Icons and next programme is missing. Yes, copied both files over and rebooted.

Removing just the xml file restored missing info.

I do have a skin_user.xml file in /etc/enigma2 which I use to increase NumberZapPicon picons and text. Could be that. Box is now in use again so I will remove skin_user.xml prob tomorrow by time I have control of box again

[Huevos]

If there is a skin_user_<SkinName>.xml the optional generic skin_user.xml will be skipped, so no idea what's gone wrong for you.

Can this be the problem ?

[Skin] Error in screen 'InfoBar' unsupported operand type(s) for ^=: 'str' and 'bool'!

I tested this and have the same problem like bbbuk.
