LCD Skins

[babba]

Anybody know is there is a download within OpenVix for LCD skins (front panel display)? Tried plugins, but nothing found there.

What box are you talking about? On the zgemma it's just a seven segment LCD display.

Thanks for the reply, I was on about the Vu Solo 4k, posted to wrong section. Have found some to download in Display section of OpenVix plugins, but they are a bit "simple".

I can't even get them to show up on my LCD screen. I've put them where I'm meant to and installed the plugin I need to get them full screen but my box isn't having it and nobody seems to be bothered helping...

I've download via plugins, and they work without an issue. Have you enabled LCD4LINUX?

Have you enabled LCD4LINUX?

I don't have LCD4LINUX installed on our box and can use any of the LCD skins available - there is about 7 in all as standard I think but not played fully.

I didn't have that plugin enabled last time I had them working. Had it working on kiddac's SlykQ skin until I pissed about with the folder to get it working on slyk skin but it's not having it at all now.

I've got number 5 which enables full screen picon but it just gives me the slyk skin picon on the screen.

Just noticed that I have LCD4LINUX installed but not enabled. I am using the Q skin (v1.6 by Chababu) and just downloaded the skins from the plugin section (display). then went setup->system->Front Display panel,.

I have the following



This gives me an LCD display with full picon and a progress bar at the bottom showing the current position within the programme.

I don't want the progress bar, how can I make it just use the picon? Also where did you store your picons? I know where you're supposed to put them but my box isn't picking them up and it's so frustrating.

I've got my picons in /media/hdd/picon, I used to have them in /media/usb/picon but just got lazy. The LCD skins are usually in /usr/share/enigma2/display.

If you want to edit a skin to only show the picon, then you could do the following, take OE-A_LCDSkin_1 as an example. Navigate to the folder and open the skin_display.xml file.


Look for the screen section InfoBarSummary, e.g.

 <screen name="InfoBarSummary" position="0,0" size="480,320">
  <widget source="session.CurrentService" render="LcdPicon" position="0,0" zPosition="2" size="480,320" halign="center" alphatest="on">
   <convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
  </widget>
  <eLabel position="0,269" size="480,2" backgroundColor="#BDBDBD" zPosition="3" />
  <widget source="session.Event_Now" render="Progress" pixmap="/usr/share/enigma2/display/OE-A_LCDSkin_1/progress.png" position="0,277" size="480,33" transparent="1">
   <convert type="EventTime">Progress</convert>
  </widget>
  <eLabel position="0,317" size="480,2" backgroundColor="#BDBDBD" zPosition="3" />
 </screen>

Remove the two elements, <eLabel> and <widget source="session.Event_Now"> until their end tags, i.e. </widget> and change the size of the picon to fill the LCD by setting the size from 266 to 320.

So the section should now look like

 <screen name="InfoBarSummary" position="0,0" size="480,320">
  <widget source="session.CurrentService" render="LcdPicon" position="0,0" zPosition="2" size="480,320" halign="center" alphatest="on">
   <convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
  </widget>
  <eLabel position="0,317" size="480,2" backgroundColor="#BDBDBD" zPosition="3" />
 </screen>

it would be safest to copy one of the skin folders and edit that. Once you have saved the changes, select it and then restart.


Edit: Oops, did not know it would turn the text dark blue, just highlight it to read it.

I have OE-A_LCDSkin_5 which has given me the slyk1 picon full screen on there but it just isn't picking up my picons and I have no idea why.

Incredibly annoying.
