The Skin is Based on Open Pli but it should work well with most other images. I can confirm it also works well with Open ATV.

Feel free to try it on other images (please back up your image first before installation). Do post here if it works well with other images.

The Skin also comes with 2 .sh scripts for the Top Picks.

SkyScrape.sh scrapes images from the net and skyNEWPicks.sh picks up the images to display.

In your Cron Manager or Cron Time (Open ATV Menu - Timers - Cron Timers) You need to set SkyScrape.sh once a day and skyNEWPicks.sh every 1hr or whatever you wish to have the images updated.

Enjoy & Please don't forget feed backs.

:)

The Skin also includes a plugin which enable easy switch between 2 different versions:

Default Version (3 Event names Infobar)

Sky Alternative (2 Event in Infobar)

Infobar Screen Alternative:

Chabs always a great looking skin,Just to let you know what i have tried tonight,

1) I try all your skins so i uploaded your new skin to my xtrend ET 8500 which i had kiddacs sky skin all ready on there,Sent file across and its on there,Went to install and its showing that the python script is clashing so i am pretty sure both skins are not compatible on the same box at the moment,,I had openvix 4.1.16 on there

2) Reflashed the box with openvix 4.2.001 and set up the box from scratch and sent your skin across and it works perfect,Anyone with an xtrend et 8000 or 8500 then i will do a fresh backup build using both chabs sky skin and skyQ skin,As always i will add all the usual extras iptv player ect
 
Just a bit of extra info to this thread folks.
This skin can also be installed "without" the need of a computer. Just done it there now and installed without a problem.

Anyone without computer can install skin with there phone.
Im sure it can be done on an android phone but this is how to on iPhone.
First install this free app on your phone.
FTP Client Lite by LessIsMore Development
FTP Client Lite on the App Store

sign into FTP as you would normally.
(Example)
host: 192.168.0.15
user: root

now download @Chabs ipk file.
Now your iPhone will ask to open file. Hit more then select the FTP app you just downloaded then transfer the file into /TMP
then follow instructions in post #1

Nice post river,If thats the case then you can use that app to transfer any file across to the box like a pc
 
Yes.
As long as file is not zipped. I use it to transfer photos/videos to HDD.
I'm sure android have FTP to carry out them tasks also.
 
Nice looking skin. I ran into two problems. I cannot install both skynew and skyq, I have to uninstall the other first otherwise it reports clashes when installing and fails. And I do not get the movie selection to display as good as in your screenshots. Is that because of my box (Vu+ Solo2) is running OpenVix? (v. 4.2.0023)

That is a good looking skin. I appreciate the work put into creating skins like this. Does anyone know if it can be installed on openvix images?

Thanks in advance
 
Hi all,

Great skin and works at treat on Openvix.

Just two questions please,

1, In the planner menu and you move between sections i.e. Sports and Movies is the banner suppose to be highlighted? it just seems to highlight "all channels"
2, In the recorders section does it highlight the difference sections? i.e. recorded, deleted...

Many thanks for all the hard work you have put into this skin.

Cheers,
 
Depends what firmware your using but it should do

Maybe a stupid question but how do I un-install a skin?
 
ftp to usr/share/enigma2 remove what you want
 
my movie selection/planer is black (enhanced movie centre) what you using mate? cheers and good work
 
I'm running vix on my solo2 clone and loving the new skin but a couple of things don't seem to be the same as the screenshots.

On the recordings/movie selection list the channel and recorded columns are just blank and I cannot move left or right between the the tabs.

On the epg I cannot move left or right between the tabs.

It may be that these things aren't possible and in which case it isn't an issue, just thought I'd ask...was wondering if vix was the issue?

Cheers
Lee
 
Does the skin come with en EPG or do I use something like CrossEPG or something different?
 
Not sure if I have correct version 1.0.0.3 But the scripts are failing. Is the server offline?
