Hi,

Octagon SF8008. The display only shows the channel number, it doesn't show time after moment. There is time on standby. I tried the vfdcontrol plugin but the settings do not work.

Zgemma, for example H9 Twin, shows channel number and after 5s time on the display. Is the any way to set the same on Octagon?

I've checked on openatv and looks ok, channel number then clock after 5s. Tried on older Zgemma H2H and ok as well, why only Octagon with OpenPli shows channel number only?

Hi mate, thanks for you reply but what do you mean 'channel is prefered in PLi'? And I don't need clock on my wall or tv screen. Just on my Octagon's display.  Don't tell me please that channel is preferred on display on PLi. Zgemma H9 Twin, H2H, H7 show channel then after 5s CLOCK.

And when you have many favorites the front LCD is not capable to display the whole number, so having the choice to display the clock after 5 seconds make sense to me too.

For it exist in feed 'vfdcontrol' plugin.

If it not works for your model, try add device_model string to line 16. That's all.

 

There is missing f.eg. "ustym4kpro", "gbtrio4k" and similar it will be for sf

I think, "sf8008" will be ok. Or do you have 'sf8008m' ?

Place this file to directory with VFDControl plugin and restart enigma. Then let me know

Sorry for replying to this old post, but I couldn't find a newer one about vfd plugin.

During playback of a recording or a movie in sd card, the display continuously switches between the selected option and remaining playback time.

It starts to doing it every second when there's less than an hour, which is very distracting.

Could this be fixed, so that it shows only remaining time when playing a movie, like in my old image (OpenATV) ?

Thanks in advance.

Remove the vfd plugin, it shouldn't be there.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

But then it always shows the channel number.

It was nice to go back to clock after 5-6 sec. of ch. no. display, as in the old image.
