I loaded by the system plugins glamouraurafhd 1.0 + git433. on my edision MIO4K with satdreamGR Image
I see that the latest version is 1.4.
do I have to delete version 1.0 + git433 before upgrading version 1.4
or it is not useful?

Thank in advance

Nope the latest version is from the feeds as these are constantly updated automatically from my github. I have slowed down on making standalone versions as both satdreamgr and openatv have my skin on their feeds.
I will make a standalone version later this month.
So, download it from the feed and it will updated as soon as I update my github.

Good morning MCelliotG ;)

 

Thank you for this quick response.
I am therefore with the last version (since I loaded it yesterday by the feeds) and I have nothing to change.
how would I know when to update? or is it automatic?

 

Have a good day

That's why I never use external/3rd party skins. Have done in the past. Always, without exception, resulting in GSOD bootloops. Always something wrong with them... I simply don't dare any more...

I'm sorry but this comment is mean and ignorant! The poster that notified me is kindly referring to the old posted ipk version of my skin as a standalone third party installer. This version is old and it's very natural that certain incompatibilities will arise in newer versions of OpenPLI when using this old version.

So, to clarify let me quote one of my older posts

the latest version is from the feeds as these are constantly updated automatically from my github. I have slowed down on making standalone versions as both satdreamgr and openatv have my skin on their feeds.
I will make a standalone version later this month.
So, download it from the feed and it will updated as soon as I update my github.

Now, my skin is one of the very few that are included in the feeds of OpenATV and SatDreamGr (PLI based) exactly because it is constantly updated on my Github and I personally invest A LOT of my very limited free time to maintain it on both skinning and python coding in order to make it compeletely bugless, and on top of that it's a one man job, I have absolutely NO help (or asked for it to be fair).

Now, why it is not available as a third party skin on the OpenPLI feeds as well? That's because

a. we never discussed it with the OpenPLI team

b. I didn't ask them

c. they didn't ask me back

d. it may happen one day, but it's their decision and I respect that!

 

That does not mean that my work is problematic and falls into the category of badly coded or neglected skins. On the contrary, I receive many messages from a lot of people that use it that have no problem with it, especially since it's one of the few with a disclaimer and I have been very straightforward with the hardware limitations I decided to make it compatible with!

 

And that's all I have to say, I think I have every right to defend my work, especially when I put on so much effort and endless hours in the making!

Easy enough ;)

 

If you have a public repository we can build from, we can create a build recipe for it. Like we did for the skin PD1LOI made...

What a nice christmas present! Thank you for this honor! :)

 

This is my Github!

https://github.com/M...ourAuraFHD-skin

 

The skin is maintained as much as time allows it (I'm a very busy person fortunately or not), but I make sure everything runs fine after testing. Notably, the OpenPLI compatible version works flawlessly on SatDreamGr images (PLI-based) provided it meets the minimal requirements (everything is in the disclaimer on my github, along with the GPL license).

Of course, everything about the skin can be discussed here, as usual!

What is the purpose of that MSN weather ipk in the repo?

The skin has an external Weather indication, meaning that if you install MSN weather you will also have some (minimal) Weather info on the skin. Of course the skin works fine without it.

Please note that the converter used for it is the only open source I could find, contrary to the known ones that are licensed only for Dream Multimedia. I was very cautious with that!

The skin can be built normally without this dependancy.

I put the ipk in the repo to facilitate the users that want it!

 

Additionally, the skin can also show bitrate info when the bitrate plugin is installed from the feeds, but can also work normally without it.

Ok, I will add that ipk to the third-party feed, so users can find it in the plugins list.

MSN Weather plugin has been added to the 3rd-party feed, build recipe for the skin has been added to the develop branch, for testing.

No. I build myself, but don't have an image for either one of those.

 

I've justed tested the build, seems to work fine (albeit a tad slow and with an occasional spinner ;)).

 

I'll cherry pick it into 7.2-release for the next release update.

Hmmm, the skin should work fine as long as the receiver can handle the graphic nature, it was a conscious and hard choice I had to make with it. It works flawlessly on all 4K receivers (tested), one day I plan to make a light version for the rest.

I've tested on a Duo 4K. There is about a second lag when I press the OK button, before the infobar pops up.

Very strange, I never received any complaints for lagging, neither have I seen it on my receivers either. Anyway....
