I'm not really sure what's going on as it's working perfectly on my H2S...

First, Credits :

Kiddac for the awesome Slyk-1-HD skin
grantdavey91 for helping me test all this and for his version of the mod
gmanpanthro for the initial mod

If i've forgotten anyone, please let me know.

It grabs images from 2 Sky.com pages.. one for up coming sky cinema stuff and what for this weeks tv shows etc
A total of about 50 images which it then randomly picks from

* Install this version of the Mod: http://www.techkings.org/openvix-openatv-skins/103009-slyk-skin-mods-v5-15.html#post587783
* Grab the latest copy of toppicks2.sh from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danmed/toppicks/master/toppicks2.sh
* Dump toppicks2.sh on your box somewhere (remember it's location)
* chmod 777 toppicks2.sh
* Set up your cron job to run as and when you want. (Though not too often or you'll likely get banned from RSZ.IO

Still to do :
* Find a source for the final 2 different aspect images.
* Wait for Sky to change the source code tp their page and break this :)

These are the results from 3 runs within 2 minutes of each other

nice work danmed.

With my issue i think it's unlikely to be the mod as i've checked over the differences in files and the only changes are positioning and sizing of each box of the top picks screen, a bigger mini-tv and removal of the bouquet selector

but then saying that i'm not ruling anything out

my box doesn't like me today
 
Lol shocking got it working one thing how do you edit a cron timer set it to update at 22.29 just to see if the images changed which they did but can't find a way to set it for a better time unless I delete and rewrite it again

that will run it every 2 minutes.

danmed i'm going to give it another go, would you be able to upload your 'sh' file from /bin of your box, i'm thinking it could be that

no not at all mate, whats a forum for!

i did in fact look at this last night, was playing around with it for a while but i when i changed the size all it kept doing was making the actual mini-tv box bigger/smaller opposed to making the tv picture bigger/smaller

i have the gaps on mine too, but i couldn't figure it out, hate to keep saying i don't know i will keep messing until i can find it or someone who knows could point in the right direction then i'll amend the mymods file and re-upload?

In regrds to the epg, i still havent found where the line break "|" is! still searching

does anybody know where it is? i know i've found it before because i changed it to a different colour but my files have been changed so often the past week i am struggling to find it again

I've revisited the size of the tv picture behind the mini-tv, but when i change the size, it only changes the actual mini-tv box

I am looking at this : (mymods.xml)

<screen name="t3-tv">
<widget source="session.VideoPicture" render="Pig" position="860,91" size="378,248" zPosition="4" backgroundColor="transparent" />
<eLabel position="860,304" size="378,35" zPosition="4" foregroundColor="skyblue" backgroundColor="skylightrow" transparent="0" font="Regular;19" />
<widget source="session.CurrentService" render="Label" position="890,308" size="316,22" font="Regular;22" foregroundColor="skyblue" backgroundColor="skylightrow" transparent="1" valign="center" halign="center" noWrap="1" zPosition="5">
<convert type="ServiceName">Name</convert>
</widget>

if someone who knows could let me know how, would really appreciate it

thanks

@danmed i've now tried your instructions on post 469 and reverted to the earlier design of the top picks mod - i replaced mymods.xml , skin.xml , extras.xml, and skyicons folder, but the commands / cron timers or wherever the problem may be haha it's still not working for me

i am almost certain now that it just must be something to do with the telnet or my box itself i just keep getting the error :

and if you are asking because you have slyk logo instead. You just need to change it in extras.xml to switch to the proper one.
 
danmed i'm going to give it another go, would you be able to upload your 'sh' file from /bin of your box, i'm thinking it could be that

I don't have a "sh" file in /bin on my box.. i do have "bash" though which is what the script is using...

Try the latest version of the script.. I made some changes last night that broke it and i think i've got them fixed now.

Code:
wget https://github.com/danmed/toppicks/raw/master/toppicks2.sh

I think RSZ.IO block your IP if you hit them too often.. i'm not able to grab any images at the moment, however i can from work.

Alternative Menu Screen

You can also have the menu screen in the same format as the epg splash screen which will be taking the same pics from the script...

If doing that, the menu would surely look better on the left where the big pic is

I was also faffing with this last night. And did a very similar thing to you of just bringing generic images in at the top instead of specific programs

I've made another change to toppicks2.sh

it now grabs from 3 sources and replaces all the images at the bottom.. however i think i've been IP banned from RSZ.IO (hopefully temporarily)

can someone try it (but not too many times!)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danmed/toppicks/master/toppicks2.sh

that worked for me
