[VU+ Solo2] Confluence Skin - BRILLIANT - can you do?

[sigpark]

that looks better
i'll add the changes to the main skin, thanks for those recommendations

@Rossi - thanks for doing this in the latest Hades 12 release

Perhaps you did not see my other post "No Picon Loaded" or perhaps you have not included in this release of Confluence? I provided images and fix here. Perhaps I have overlooked something?

Thanks again for all of the work

@Rossi I have had a look a the xml coding around the "Eventview" and "EventviewSimple" screens between the Confluence skin versions in Hades 11 & 12.

In Hades 12 some of the code has been consolidated to make the "EventviewSimple" a panel in the "Eventview" screen, where as in Hades version 11, there was seperate discrete code for each screen.

At this time the "CONVERT TYPE" for picon reference for the "Eventview" to work with live broadcasts needs to be different from that for recorded broadcasts - see link to the fix posted to "EventviewSimple" above - so unless something changes in the widget, I think the screens have to be different?

Live broadcast Picon XML:
<widget source="Service" render="Picon" position="420,220" size="400,240" alphatest="blend" backgroundColor="transparent" transparent="1" zPosition="2">
<convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
</widget>

Recorded Movie Picon XML:
<widget source="Service" render="Picon" position="420,220" size="400,240" alphatest="blend" backgroundColor="transparent" transparent="1" zPosition="2">
<convert type="MovieReference">Reference</convert>
</widget>

This is the issue causing the "No Picon Loaded" message on the second info screen of recorded movies.

I hope this helps.

@Rossi my favourite skin by far, awesome job.

I am using this on a GI LX-1.

I really like it... is there an option to remove the tuner letter? I know it was recently added in, but with only one tuner, I do not really need it to show any letter there....

How do I get the information (press ok twice) to stay on screen longer than a few seconds?

The massive infobar is awesome...don't change it....!!

Would a 720 version be possible? This does tend to be a little slow to respond sometimes, possibly down to my box...?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Take a look in the user interface settings for the time delay.
It will be your receiver's lack of umph for the legginess/responsiveness.
I highly doubt Rossi would do a 720p version.

Is there a way in changing the info on the channel list to a different colour?

 

[Flyingpig]

Yeah, this is a near perfect skin and the only way I can think that it can be improved is a different colout text (only slightly) to the actual programme name in the list than the channel name.

whereas on mine both are white, and it is hard to distinguish at a glance.

FP.

i will have another look at this at the weekend, i'll see what i can do

FYI: one change I've had to do is to make ListboxSelectedBackground darker, as the bright blue bleeds into the foreground to my eyes (and this is essentially a light-on-dark skin).

                <color name="gmlcolour" value="#00044080" />

in <colors> and

                <color name="ListboxSelectedBackground" color="gmlcolour" />

in <windowstyle type="skinned" id="0">

It might be OK for me to just darken thirdcolour, but I haven't looked at all the places that this is used.

I think there is a bug in this skin (although it could just be me).

If I do an IMDb seach from the EPG the background template is a screen on the left and the PIG at the top right.
but the data is displayed as if expecting a screen overlay in the middle.

Same here - been meaning to report it.

Hello, Having managed to upgrade to Vix 3.2 on my Vu+2 Duo I Started using this superb skin today - its fantastic thank you rossi2000. The only thing im stuck with is if i double press the OK button when watching a channel i get shown a weather forecast for Roma Urbe Airport - i cant fathom out where to adjust this setting. Im probably being thick but just cant seem to crack this one - please can someone give me a point in the right direction. Many Thanks

 

[rossi2000]

press blue button, select yahoo weather and then red button to change city.
type it in, press ok and then select it to make the change.

 

[ukoberon]

Thanks Rossi2000 and thanks again for an amazing Skin.

Hi, I'd really like to try this skin but cannot find it.

I have an octagon XP1000Plus with the new version 3.2, build 003.

I've looked in the plugin feeds, in skins and extensions and cannot find it. Can I download it from anywhere else and install manually?

Thanks,

Yellow Ostrich.
P.S. Just updated to version 3.2 build 005 and still can't find the confluence skin in the plugin feeds.

Update Plugins and then it is plugins\skins section and then the skin is named: openvix-vixbmc-1080-Confluenece

Not all receivers support the 1080p framebuffer. The ones that do not will not have access to 1080p skins

I have a slight problem. When I have the channel list screen on there is no mini screen or now and next info. All I have is the channel list in the left panel and the right panel is blank. If I select a channel it plays behind the panels and select again plays in full screen. I have hdd mounted and epg saved there.
I'm hopeful that it's a setting that I've missed but I think I've tried them all!

Any help would be great.
