    Permanent clock

    I received my receiver yesterday and got everything up and running (note to anyone getting this new to enigma2 that it will take some time so definitely put aside a few hours!), and it's absolutely great!

    Only thing I find lacking is the lack of on option to have a permanent clock on the display of the STB. I've tried a few plugins but they cause the box to go into a boot-loop and I have to delete via FTP'ing into the box to get it to boot. If anyone can point me to an option where either a permanent clock on the STB or on the actual screen is possible I would really appreciate it! (I'm using openvix with the metrix HD skin)

    Hi,
    what display on which box? For the TV screen there is a (or 2) plugin called permanentclock and for STB display a special skin_user.xml would do the trick.

    ciao

    Managed to get this sorted out - for the front display set top box clock at least (permanent clock on the screen doesn't seem to work, probably a skin issue) but it's exactly what I was looking for and hope it helps anyone else in the same situation, will work on any enigma2 box too

    FTP'ing into the box, a file within: usr/share/enigma2/display

    called: skin_display.xml has all VFD display settings for all different scenarios

    Create a new file within: etc/enigam2

    called: skin_user.xml which then will take priority over any skin preference files and can be coded to show pretty much anything. In this case the standby clock code will be copied and will replace the settings for the 'infobar', so this file should contain the code below

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <skin>
        <screen name="InfoBarSummary" position="0,0" size="132,64">
    		<widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="0,0" size="120,64" font="Regular;48" halign="center" valign="center">
    			<convert type="ClockToText">VFD12</convert>
    		</widget>
         </screen>
    </skin>
    Hope this helps someone out
