have it running but only picons on german channels. how can i get this working on dutch channels?

 

[royski03]

@royski03: which version of openpli do you use? 2.x or 3.x ?? In the next post there is an updated version which install the plugin under extensions/skins. Try it. Has to work...

 

i have openpli 3.x  updated version installed now. 

 

still issues:

 

1. no picons on dutch channels, 

2, no weather info on my screen. in mymetrix it says on, i use the std weather in Bonn

 

 

any ideas what to do ?

@malakudi

 

 

- When in timeshift mode, the progress bar is in the center of the screen. Not a very good position.
- There is not enough room for channel number in the upper right corner, even 2 digits overlap date for a little, 3 or 4 digits look really ugly.

 

i fix this

I installed the file: enigma2-plugin-skins-mymetrixhd_1.1_all.ipk

here is the result:

 

root@vuduo:/var/volatile/tmp# opkg install --force-overwrite *.ipk

@ipman, tried that allready but still no weather.

 

Also no picons on dutch channels, tried putting them on hdd, on mem, usr/share/enigma2/picon  nothing works

edit: Another issue is that standard picons are not scaled to fit xpicon position. Also, standard OpenPLI picon support searches for picon folder on every removable storage device, this skin does not. For example, I've labeled my ext3 usb stick as piconusb and OpenPLI mounts it to /media/piconusb. picon folder inside /media/piconusb is searched from standard OpenPLI picon support. I guess skin needs to be adapted to use the OpenPLI way.

this skin's own XPicon nor XPiconChannel renderers don't support scaling...
could be implemented with something like this:

 			if self.pngname != pngname:
-				self.instance.setPixmapFromFile(pngname)
+				if pngname:
+					self.instance.setScale(1)
+					self.instance.setPixmapFromFile(pngname)
+					self.instance.show()
+				else:
+					self.instance.hide()
 				self.pngname = pngname
-
+				
 	def findPicon(self, serviceName):
 		print "ActiveXPicon: " + serviceName
 		for path in self.searchPaths:

    and another (better? this solves picon search paths issue) solution would be to just use OpenPLi's Picon renderer (you just have to replace all XPicon with Picon  renderer in skin.xml)

    problem is that there's no PLi renderer for displaying picons in channelselection (equivalent of XPiconChannel.py) - I'm experimenting with a diy Picon2 renderer (PLi Picon.py based)
   

...
-class Picon(Renderer):
+class Picon2(Renderer):
 ...
 			pngname = ""
 			if what[0] != self.CHANGED_CLEAR:
-				pngname = getPiconName(self.source.text)
+				pngname = getPiconName(self.source.service.toString())
 			if not pngname: # no picon for service found
 				pngname = self.defaultpngname
 			if self.pngname != pngname:

    and seems to work just fine

Great sking. Thanks for your precious efforts!.

 

As Malakudi, I would like to see freaquency information, if possible And one more wish, could you integrate SNR/AGC into the main infobar (probablyjust as numbers without meterbar) instead of a seperate place consuming area..

 

Thanks again !

thanks blzr for explanation - with your small modification scaling works fine with XPicon.py

Placing XPicons in default picon folder is not the best solution imo:
- constant downscaling of picons with default or other skins (performance?)
- 8bit 100x60 px picons should stay default
- CoolTV looks better with other piconpackages than XPicons

Concerning picons in channelselection i prefer using converter ReferenceToString from vali.hd.flex dev-package.
Renderer XPicon and Converter MetrixRefString are enough to show picons on eventview, epgselection and channelselection (also Bouquetentries show picon - 'bouquetname.png')
Currently included hardyPicon2.py and XPiconChannel.py not needed anymore.

 

code for screen eventview and epgselection:

    <widget alphatest="blend" position="112,61" render="XPicon" size="220,132" source="Event" transparent="1" zPosition="1">
      <convert type="MetrixRefString">CurrentRef</convert>
    </widget>

 

code for screen channelselection:

    <widget alphatest="blend" position="112,61" render="XPicon" size="220,132" source="ServiceEvent" transparent="1" zPosition="1">
	  <convert type="MetrixRefString">ServicelistRef</convert>
    </widget>

 

attached are updated XPicon.py with scaling and updated MetrixRefString.py (thanks to iMaxxx and Vali)

thanks the XPicon.py works ..

 

But the picon (XPicon) scaling quality is not good enough for me ...

i agree, but still better than just showing unscaled 100x60 px picon on top left corner, in case no XPicon exists imo

The skin crashed my box so i had to delete the skin folder in order to reboot to default. How do i uninstall (remove) the actual skin application from plugins? It is not listed in remove plugins.
 
thanks

Which version did u use? Only the last version from post #15 has corrected package name. The previous version you need to uninstall via telnet and opkg remove command. Other way would be to remove plugin directory under urs/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/mymetrix

    </widget>

good tip, thanks...
and for the channellist picon you can use an embeded ServiceName.py converter instead (I use it with 'standard' Picon.py)

<convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>

but for picon in epgselection and eventview I couldn't find any embeded replacement unfortunately (so that another external converter/renderer would be obsolete )...

For frequency just go to plugin setting and for info widget select show provider and frequenzy. For snr position in infobar, i don't know, there is not enoug space for it. I personally like the position above infobar.

@ipman, tried that allready but still no weather.

You need to place picon folder also under usr/share/enigma2/XPicons folder.

not running
on skin menu MetrixHD none

After the plugin installation you need to reboot your receiver. Then you need to go under plugin and select metrix plugin. Then you need to save (yellow button). After this your box will be restarted once more and then you need to go to skin selection and select MatrixHD skin.

Great :)Can you notify IMaxxx for the timeshift bar placement?ps: I really like the font sizes selected, especially the channel list view is great.Another nice feature would be to have channel frequency information in channel list, just under picon. Then, you can easily check tuning details of any channel without tuning to it.

There is no need to notify imaxxx for this change. He has nothing to do with skin for openpli :-) This is mantained by me and ipman ;-) Where would you want to place the timeshift? At the top you have weather and time, at the bottom there is infobar. I can't see better placement but center.

I think it is good ......

yes, I've also thought of this position but what if there is health plugin displayed with infobar ? Then it overlaps it. Also I think it is a bit thick so it could interfere with second infobar. Have you tried it? Btw, could you copy your changes into github ?
