@IanSav,

 

You don't need SMB/Samba to place your code, simply use a FTP client like FileZilla.

Hi Pr2,

 

My development environment is coded to use Samba shares (in both directions) and lots of scripts etc to automate testing code.

Hi,

 

To bring this thread back on topic...

 

There has only been one download of the VirtualKeyBoard code.  Has everyone lost interest in the enhancement?

 

Regards,

Ian.

Maybe because it’s summer holiday time and at least in Germany it’s very hot so I guess not many want to sit before their stb or PC.

Hi Betacentauri,

Thank you for the information.  (It is a cold winter here.)  I will be a little more patient.

Hi,

 

Thank you WanWizard for cleaning up this thread.

 

There have now been 6 downloads of the test kit so far.  Does anyone have any feedback, bug reports or requests for me to consider?

 

Regards,

Ian.

I've got the code loaded, I'm familiar with its contents, and the Python file has been revised. 5 +
Tried out with my box not yet, due to lack of time. Thank you for being added the Estonian keyboard. I'm trying to test out tomorrow morning, but I don't promise that with my Time is OK.

[IanSav]

Hi Zeros,

 

Thank you for the update.  I welcome your testing and feedback.  Please do not be offended If I made any mistakes.  If there is *anything* that can be improved please tell me.

 

If you know anyone else, particularly translators, who could test other languages then please ask them to have a look.

 

Regards,

Ian.

Hi!
I tested, but I am not sure, if I made the procedure correctly.
That part from your tutorial a bit not clear for me:
4) The contents of the file keymap-extract.xml should be added to:
 /usr/share/enigma2/keymap.xml

   (NOTE: Save a copy of the keymap to restore your system.)

--
I just copy the content of keymap-extract.xml and pasted it to the end of keymap.xml, is it correct?
--
5) The contents of the file skin-extract.xml should be added to a skin on
   your receiver.

   a) Add the font line to the <fonts> section of the skin.
   b ) Add the parameter lines to the <parameters> section of the file.

--
What should I do with a) and b )?

I did what I understood, maybe I missed something. Before it worked, now after changes next test:
I chosed under Plugins YouTube

YouTube->Search->Search videos->

I can choose Keyboard.
If I press it, your work should Go in progress.I get GSOD. I think the error is in me, but where?

I think in my case that part is missing:

 

5) The contents of the file skin-extract.xml should be added to a skin on
   your receiver.

   a) Add the font line to the <fonts> section of the skin.
   b ) Add the parameter lines to the <parameters> section of the file.

How do I do that?

Edited by zeros, 10 August 2018 - 05:47.

I use PLi-HD Skin

I add the original file, how should I modify that in regarding the latest teaching?

(The file is located on the folder /usr/share/enigma2/PLi-HD )

Hi Zeros,

 

The GSOD is unexpected.  I will investigate.

 

Can I please have the copy of the keymap.xml file you edited (and an original copy, just in case) so I can see what happened.

 

I will use the skin.xml you provided above and the keymap.xml you will give me to make the changes for you.  I will also post the details here to help others make the changes using the files you provide as an example.

 

I will also try to improve my instructions.

 

Thank you for your feedback and sorry this was not an easy process.

 

Regards,

Ian.

keymap.xml I wiil add on Sunday, because in the meantime I am in the countryside.
Before making changes, there were several languages available. Including Russian and, in my opinion, Iran/Persian and several others more. So I assume that something was already there before.

[IanSav]

Hi Zeros,

 

I have not removed any of the languages that were there at the start.  In fact, I added a few more. 

 

I will get the skin.xml ready soon and I will help with the keymap.xml as soon as it is available.

 

I should also mention that when the code is submitted to the repository the installation will be automatic.  Users won't have to do a thing.  Skin authors, on the other hand, will need to update their skins as normal for any code improvement changes.

 

Regards,

Ian.

I also add that GSOD comes only in at this point when I click on ' Keyboard '. Lest everything OK. It's not as sometimes that the box not comes up. This information for those who are still trying.

[zeros]

I have not backuped the keymap.xml, if you need it, I can get it from my previous fullbackup of my box.
But here is the file keymap.xml you asked after editing and rebooting my dm920.
I just added with copy/paste the content from keymap-extract.xml to the end in the file keymap.xml in folder /usr/share/enigma2/

It seems to me, that Reboot changed a bit the file content!?

Hi Zeros,

 

Attached are the patched files for your consideration.  I have not kept the original skin design for the VirtualKeyBoard as this is not easy to do on my development system.  I have also updated the ZIP file with the latest corrections and features (You can now control the VirtualKeyBoard with a physically attached real keyboard.)

 

I have also updated the installation instructions to highlight that Enigma2 must NOT be running when these changes are being made.

 

Regards,

Ian.

OK, thanks!
I'm doing a new experiment on next week and I'm doing it on a clean slate. This means first I put my last fullbackup, where changes have not yet been made. Then I will add the changes according to your latest tips.
I'm going to do a backup just in case of all the files before, so if you need them, then I have them.
It looks like a good idea:
Stop the Enigma2 process from running by issuing the command:
init 4
I let you know about the results on the new week!
