The edge.
I said i was going to merge and improve on the last few panels, and after listening to some comments and suggestions, came up with this.

This is a very small ppanel, it consists of one single option, but, to get started, thats all youll need.

Extract the xml file from the attached zip file, and ftp it to etc/ppanels on your receiver, on your remote press the yellow button and choose ppanels, and youll see the option 'Customiser live' select this, and download the latest panel. you wont need this again, so you can now ftp into your receiver, and erase it if you want to

now restart panels by exiting all menus, and youll see the latest DW customiser (at time of posting, v0.2.93)

in this panel, you can change the spinner / cogs, setup a swap file, DW customise HD skins, download rats channel lists, download plugins (more to be added soon) download picons, but, more importantly

you can update the ppanel itself :)

so, if it gets updated, press a button on the remote, choose the update option, and restart panel for changes to take effect

This small ppanel file will be pre installed on future DW image releases, so, when you update your image, a few button presses, and youll also have the latest version of DigitalWorldz ppanel

near future planned additions (no time set)
update EPG version to latest
picons for euro sats
more skin package modifications

any suggestions / requests welcome on the thread here

Enjoy

:)

Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

all updated on the first post, and also updated on the server, so if you have already installed the panel, go into the 'About & update' screen at the bottom, update the panel, exit out of all menus, and reload for changes to kick in

changes to this file were

changed the download link, so each download is counted Technomate software online

changes to the main ppanel itself were pretty much for the same reason, added a small script to run to update the ppanel, from the same location

the file location itself hasnt changed, but the way the file is accessed has, so it now counts how many times its been downloaded


will possibly be adding a few more updates (mainly for the latest version of the EPG) later today

Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Panel updated to ask for confirmation, and also to warn, when patching receivers startup script to auto mount a swap file on rear USB stick. Also gives an onscreen confirmation that the task is complete.

Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Added a new section to the Ppanel

Which at the moment contaings a small downloadable fix for the Audio button green screen bug.

Big thanks to Shani_08 for the fix for this bug
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

another small update

ive received a few PMs from members, who were unsure if they had patched their startup script to auto mount a swap file or not, so ive now written and included a small script that will check your file, and tell you, on your screen, either yes its patched, or no its not

when i have an hour, ill change the way the patching works, ill write a small script to check the startup script first, and if its already patched, itll warn you that you have already dont it, and then abort, and if its not, then itll patch it for you

but, untill then, you can now check before patching

update the panel, then exit and restart the panel to se the changes

:)
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Panel updated with a script to check if startup script is already patched to mount a swapfile when you try to patch it, if it has already been patched, itll tell you, and abort. If it hasnt yet been patched, itll patch the startup script to auto mount a swapfile already created on the rear usb port

update panel to v0.3.02 via the update section at the bottom of the panel, exit allmenus and enter ppanels again for changes to take effect
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Options added for 128 & 256 Mb swap files as requested

will be updated again later today to give a chioce of locations for swap files between rear-usb and /hdd

If you have already enabled auto mounting of a swap file from a previous ppanel installation, you will need to manually FTP to the file named rcS located in /etc/init.d/ and delete the very last line that says

swapon /media/rear-disk/swap64

before starting again with new swap files

You should also delete your existing swap file using the option in the panel before updating the panel

Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

updated with options for swapfiles on internal HDD as requested

also added a small script so rats channel list now downloads, updates, and reloads itself from the ppanel
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

A couple of updates

Added a new rytec sources file, and renamed and merged EPG downloads all into one section. The rytec sources works with the EPG importer plugin,and now calls data from multiple sites, so hopefully no more downtime when trying to update the EPG

ALSO

a HUGE thanks to jimux, as in the 'Temp fix' section, you can now run a cleaning script, which removes all of the un-needed foreign language files, test files, and quite a bit of other stuff. This only needs to be run once.

It frees up (if my maths is right) ~6% of the receivers flash memory, which is ~ 4MB

available for download now, via the Update function at the bottom of the panel
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

a big thanks to joypad for helping me get my head around the black art that is the 'blue panel' server.

this update adds a new section, Blue panel servers, and allow you, whenever you like, to swap between URs server, and a new one that i have started creating. Choose the option for the server youd like, press ok to set it, then exit the Ppanel and press the blue button like you normally would

Update your ppanel to get this latest addon, via the 'About & Update' at the option of your existing ppanel, or by installing the small installer file on the first post of this thread.

Any suggections, requests or bugs can also be posted in the thread linked from post #1 of this thread

Enjoy

:)
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

New plugin added as requested. Website parser for football scores etc. Ive bundles a few updates together for a single download, so downloading the plugin will also download and install a Python 2.6 update.

Update your ppanel via the update section, then find the new plugin in the plugin section
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Another update

Download and install Nabilo CCcam Switch from plugins screen
New DW custom skin pack for Kerni-HD1R2 skin
Re-enabled manual reloading of channel lists as requested (downloading rats lists auto reloads)

Download via the update option at the bottom of your panel, or from the first post of this thread
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Added a softcam updater for those who use motorised / multi LNB dishes.

After updating the softcam, you can scroll through and see exactly whats ben updated

Update the ppanel via the update function at the bottom of the existing ppanel, or from post #1 of this thread

Thank you to the TechSat team for allowing me to recode one of their scripts and include it in the customiser
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Another update

Quite a few people ask about backing up CCcam configs etc, with this update, ive added some scripts, so if you chuck a usb stick in the rear socket, you can backup your CCcam settings to USB, and also restore them.

A few smaller changes to the actual ppanel itself in preperation from some new things that im working on as well

If you already have the ppanel installed, you can update now from the 'About & Update' option at the bottom, Restart the ppanel after updating for changes to take effect, or install via the small download on the first post of this thread

Enjoy!

Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

And another update :proud:

.ipk package installer.

Lots of people want to install (or try out) packages, but cant be bothered with all of the telnet and long names to type etc

With this update, simply copy your .ipk file to a usb stick, plug it into the FRONT USB socket, and select the install package option.

Update your panel in the usual way to get this in your panel
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel

Another update :)

First off, a huge thanks to Joypad for helping with the auto updater script.

Update now via the 'about & update' option in your ppanel,
 
Re: digidudes all new DW customiser Ppanel
