MetrixHD_MOD (Now includes a full 1080 HD version too)

I deleted all the parts and saved and restarted gui with a naked skin then re-added all the parts, saved skin and restarted gui. The picons show up normally on mine saved on my usb in usb/picon path. No need to fiddle. Just check if your usb is mounted properly and the folder path and name is correct. It should just show up automatically. I dont have 2 sets of picon, just 1 on my usb the normal way. Also, make sure your using ocram SHD picons from here.

Just a tip @igleave22 - dont store picons on hard drive as everytime you change channels, your hard disk will spin just for the picon, your better off putting them on a usb or flash memory if you got space.

Definitely don't need Picons in Enigma2 if USB mounted and selected correctly.

Setting up Github so can be added to feeds - hope to have finished early weekend.

Although i didn't agree with having to inser picons in two separate areas i have given it a try and still had made no difference. I have completely removed all addons for the skin and added all the suggestive options previously most of which i was already using, the picons show on all relevant screens but still not on the main info bar. Can anyone else kindly suggest anything to get picons showing on info bar?

Full fresh flash! dont use backups...manually enter all your settings + metrix stuff... Its gonna be a long night... good luck :thumbsup:

also are you using a usb??

 

[duoduo]

Not using usb mate. So go to menu and choose reset option. What if i revert to say a backup from before i installed the plugin? Why would this not solve the problem. Feel a little uneasy startng from scratch in casei f*ck up on a big scale, wouldn't know where to start putting some of the stuff back on duo

 

[scwheeler]

Not an expert but I would make a backup now, and then try and restore from a previous backup. Worst case you can go back to right now. If you restore from backup, do not restore plugins as I bet this is the issue.

Having said that the beauty of vix is that it take about 5 mins to setup

 

[gsingh]

Just make a full image backup. Then play with fresh flash, I wouldnt recommend restoring anything. Its happened to all of us, we all have had to do a fresh new flash for the sake of something to work and set up from scratch at some point so dont feel bad. It's all part of the fun having a duo!

@schweeler - any more exciting updates to come? And do you think that metrix is reaching or will reach its peak potential any time soon?

 

[duoduo]

guys, i have done a back up.. please can you talk me through the steps to do as suggested above a completely new flash. Also can you tell me what i will lose as a consequence of doing this i.e. satellites, plugins, abm, cccam etc..

 

[scwheeler]

@gsingh - not sure I would use exciting as refining now, but Timeshift screen coming soon. Also a pack of icons for the menus but this will come when in the feeds as I need to make some changes to the skin for them to display.

@igleave - the wizard should help you set most of these back up. I.e. you will re-setup the tuners and can then run ABM and CrossEPG and you will need to reinstall cccam. I'm sure someone can point you in the direction of a guide as I am at work.

Just make sure you have both a backup and full image backup from the VIX menu and if you can't re-set it up you can just restore back to this.

The process of reflashing a receiver is akin to reloading windows on your PC, it will wipe EVERYTHING except any recordings etc that you may have on a HDD or USB stick.

Do you do factory reset before starting then

This skin is a beast. Love the customization options available via the plugin.
Initially I had problems with it crashing when it was creating the skin.xml, but a swap file soon sorted that.
Well done to all involved. Keep up the good work.

Re: MetrixHD_MOD

No need as the flashing process it self first wipes the receivers flash before flashing the new image to it.

Flash did the job guys, skin up and running just as it should.

 

[scwheeler]

Awesome, pleased to hear it is now working.

Now thats the hardest part out of the way and you have performed your first full reflash, before long you will be able to do a full reflash and rebuild in 10 minutes or just because you feel like it.

I can't get picons to show up using MetrixHD, all fine when using MetrixHD_Mod and any other skin from plugins download.

Any help is very much appreciated, because I really like this skin.

Are your picons stored on flash? If so try on usb

As i dont think the default info bar looks at /picon

 

[duoduo]

I have done a reflash and put picons on usb now working fine, pain in the arse to do but if it fixes the problem. As suggested above try just putting picons on usb before reflash and see if it helps
Good luck

The reason for picons not working from /picon on flash is that metrixhd uses there own picon renderer called XPicon.py and this script doesnt search the /picon path

For picons to work from /picon on flash 4 new screen parts for the skin will need creating

Infobar
Secondinfobar
Eventview
ChannelSelection

When i get home ill code the screens up and upload them to the open store on the mymetrix plugin
