yeah once and if it's figured out that it can spin, (which it must be possible in some way or form as we have it on the CCcam starting screen) the background could then be added in with the play/pause icons etc -- i'm doing a bit of googling on this
i found a plugin called 'permanent spinner' which if turned on will always be displayed on the screen (default is a massive moving spider - why?!! hate spiders) but you have to turn it on and off in the plugin menu and doesn't look like there's any settings to only display on certain screens; i'm not sure; it's in a foreign language by default too
if someone wants to take a look at the plugin; perhaps that could be edited as a plugin

yeah i know at first when i tried it bootlooped and then when i put back to default it was still looping so i had to switch off at the back for it to come back on - that's the first time it's happened though normally i would just undo whatever i just did and it'd come back on but this time it didn't work without switching off manually - so i'm gonna research a bit into it; i know it's just the skin but it's always a bit scary when the box doesn't boot up after you've undone what you did

done that so many times
i have it time out
gui boot on the h2s is around 28-32secs
if she doesnt boot after the gui and you dont get the original files back over within in the min or so. you need to power cycle
so i open google stop watch to time it out to save me running to the box
once it hits 34 seconds the original file is back on it

Anyone want to help me with the script for the vskin-hd http://www.techkings.org/openvix-openatv-skins/105115-toppicks2-sh-script-working-vskin-hd.html

i think that might be in something like plugins.pyo or usageconfig.pyo in /usr/lib/engima2/python - you can get default .py files for enigma2 on github for atv and vix

okay i tried to create an animated PNG, which works automatically by opening it up on my laptop, just click on the file and it renders but i put it in the code for movies.xml but nothing shows up on playback of a recording so enigma2, even though it's a png, probably recognises it's not the same format as the standard png and doesn't show
i'll upload the moving png if anyone wants to have a play

is watching this thread with amusement.
you can't just call any old widget in any old screen. That widget will be defined in that particular screens py file.
you cannot call another screen in a screen.
you cannot use animated pngs or animated gifs.
Anyway... I am still stuck on toppicks. If I putty/telnet into my box and call
wget "http://www.sky.com/watch/channel/sky-living" -O living i get a file
if i put the exact same code in the shell script file I get "error getting response: connection reset by peer". I have no idea why the 2 are getting different results ... and it's doing my nut in.

BiGC0L - code is in setup.xml in /usr/share/enigma2 :
Code:
<item level="0" text="Show animation while busy" description="Show ViX spinning logo when the system is busy.">config.usage.show_spinner</item>i've also found in usageconfig.py :
Code:
config.usage.show_spinner = ConfigYesNo(default = True)and
Code:
def SpinnerOnOffChanged(configElement): setSpinnerOnOff(int(configElement.value))
config.usage.show_spinner.addNotifier(SpinnerOnOffChanged)i wouldn't know myself as this is far too advanced for me, but does anyone have the faintest idea where to start for the possibility of the moving spinner on recording playback and for play/rewind/fast-forward on live tv?
it looks like on usageconfig.py that it is telling enigma2 to show the spinner when busy; so i'm assuming a piece of code could be written for the skin, to make the spinner show when play/re-wind/fast-forward buttons are pressed?

Laugh away kiddac - me + code = brain melt lol
Yes over the past few weeks I have learnt so much about how a skin works/operatates but if it's put down to a percentage i'd probably give myself about 30% / 100% - the remaining 70% being not understanding how the widgets, screens, components etc work
Would you happen to know (give the skinning side of your brain a good old rack) if there is any possibility of an additional spinner showing on screen with recording playback or when play/re-wind/fast-forward is happening? We know its possible in other screens other than the 'show animation whilst busy' because a different spinner of the same design appears when starting/restarting/stopping the softcam
I've done some googling and you're right ; there's no way of enigma2 working with a gif image (even in today's technology) and neither the png moving image
As for the toppicks shell script, I too had numerous headaches on this; when danmed released the final no matter what i did it would not work on my duo2 ; i had a lot of help from danmed but no matter what i couldn't get it to work; I then had some great help from birdman (on another forum) and now it works after much frustration; if you like I can pm you the details as I don't think I can post a link to another forum on this one (against the rules as far as I know)
Thanks

Ok so after hours of trial and error. I eventually worked out how to scrape https sites on enigma2.
The answer is bloody simple in the end. *disclaimer i haven't fully tested my box after this so i have no idea if it effects anything important on your box. Now is a good time to make a backup.
The wget function on these boxes is a stripped down version with very limited use.
Now all you have to do is update wget to the latest full version.
Telnet into your box
opkg install wget
This lives in usr/bin. Would you be able to include this usr/bin/wget into an ipk i.e skin.. I do not know.
I think there is a few more steps to then recognise the ssl certificate but for now you can just use this command.
Wget --no-check-certificate "https://blah" -O yourfile

The images are all sourced from http addresses and the rsz added. So rsz is fine. Certain pages (the pages we really wanted for images) were doing multiple redirects on load . This meant it was just returning errors and the wget was unable to scrape the html. The original enigma2 barebones wget couldn't handle it.
An example of a page that now works with an updated wget is
https://www.sky.com/watch/channel/sky-living
If you install the new wget it's the full version. And every wget command can be used on it link. Not just limited to 8 highlighted in Bigcols code post above.

Are you planning on incorporating this in to your skin as default or are you going to leave it as a Mod?
