Hello all,

 

How can i config to start a user script with the green or red button on openpli 4.0.

 

I see hotkey but isn't possible to use a script.

It is not possible, but you can put calling of your script into ppanel and then ppanel put under red/green button

[mackguil]

ok i try with ppanel.

 

thanks

Nice idea for Littlesat, to add the possibility to run a script, possibly with some useful "inside information" from enigma as input.

[littlesat]

Shoot!!! Work again

Could be added like Zap To and Panic To are implemented.... but than with a "script" or file selector instead of the channel selector and then at the end execute the script in a window....

 

i can also consider to run ppanels from Hotkey... but when make it that way the user needs to add a xml for a specific shell script. But in Hotkey this will be more easy code and it will be more straight a way...

I prefer not do it using ppanels. The only thing is that we'd need to capture the output and present it, I think some code can be copied from ppanels The shell script should receive some general useful information from enigma, either using enivronment variables (preferrably) or using stdin.

[littlesat]

But what do you want to do with a shellscript?

[Erik Slagter]

Good question What do people tend to do with ppanels? You could turn the lights on or off in my case

[littlesat]

I just mentioned it because it might be we can make it a different way....

Hi,

 

 

But what do you want to do with a shellscript?

 

ohh there are many possibilities, as example

 

1. i have a internal hdd and a external hdd and so i have a script which makes me a symlink for external hdd in the moviedir from internal hdd

because i need this only sometimes.

 

2. i have also a usb dvd-rom on my et9000 and so i use another script which makes me a dvd.iso from a dvd in my usb dvd-rom

with the binary dvdbackup and cdrkit (genisoimage).

i know there is a Plugin for this on feed too - it calls also dvdbackup but i didn't need it, a script is enough for that.

 

and so on....

 

but i use ppanel for that and thats very good i think, and now with hotkey we can put ppanel on a specific button at one's own option.

Insn't ppanel itself not availavle yet in hotkey?

[Pike_Bishop]

Hi littlesat,

 

ppanel is available in hotkey -  i start it with button search here and it works perfect.

Yessss ! I have asked for the same improvement last year. I wanted to run a script from the box to backup my files on an external hard disk. Now, I have to use a PC Windows and it's not convenient (my wife or my daughter can use it, some backup can run a long time and I have to remove the Windows standbye otherwise the cmd command window is stopped...).

 

Excuse me but I'm not very easy with English and I don't use Python. Thus what is Hotkey? Is it a plugin as MultiQuickButton? And how I can use Ppanel to run a script?

 

Thank you ?

[WanWizard]

Hotkey is a integrated alternative for MQB.

[sjlouis]

Ok and I can upload it in the plugins?

 

And how I can use Ppanel to run a script?

 

Thank you .

[WanWizard]

It's built-in, so it's not a plugin.

 

And I don't know from memory, haven't used ppanels since my DM7000 days...

[sjlouis]

Ok, are there these keys implemented in Movie Player? I know we can modify them. Otherwise where are they?

[hemertje]

You can map short functions to a free remote button

Menu - setup - system - hotkey

[sjlouis]

Ok, I haven't see it. I'm going to inspect this function.

 

Thank you .

[littlesat]

I just added ppanels to the hotkey functions.
