I created this backup image, it is designed for simplicity with minimal features, but with some good mods to the skins :)

- sky skin with picon in infobar mod (kiddacs latest slyk skin)
- skyq skin with picon in infobar mod and side (chabs skyq latest)
- picons in usr/share already on image
- iptv player configured for all best addons (movies/tvshows)
- epg tabs - picon infobar - ecm infobar in 2nd infobar
- one image with KODI, one where can be installed yourself by doing below
- kodi 16.1 rc is in plugins to download (menu>plugins>download>extensions>vuplus kodI)
- vuplus images addon plugin

PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING.

SET UP A USB OR HDD

Put new USB/HDD in back of sat box
Turn on box
Then Menu, setup, system, storage devices, Initialise.
Menu - setup - VIX - mount manager - setup mounts - change to /media/hdd (just in case not mounted correct)
Then save then restart box.
Menu, setup, system, epg, settings, epg location – change to /media/hdd
Menu, setup, crossepg, configure, storage device – should be your USB
Menu, setup, system, recording and playback settings, default movie location - /media/hdd/movie
Menu, setup, system, timeshift settings, timeshift location - ./media/hdd/timeshift/
Auto start timeshift after – disabled
Stop timeshift – I use no, but you can choose what you wish


KODI 16.1 RC is in (menu - plugins - download - extensions - VUPLUSKODI)
= only do this after you have sorted a USB or HDD and its mounted at media/hdd.

Openvix latest image 02/12/16 - 4.2.021

SETUP FOR 28.2 SAT. (can be used for cable, but you will need to set up Tuner for DVB-C, and change provider/setup in ABM (then stop all sky scanning in autobouquets e2) to VM and set NETID, then change EPG method i.e zap to channel 100 for 3 minutes at 04:15am and/or use epg refresh/epg import opposed to crosspeg)


Softcams installed.

Oscam Latest
Mgcamd 145a
CCcam 2.30

NO CAMS ACTIVE, just need activate in Menu - setup - softcam - softcam manager - START and ENABLE START UP on cam you use (after all configs sorted)

cccam.cfg is in /etc (cccam softcams)
newcamd.list is usr/keys (mgcamd softcams)
oscam.server is in /etc/tucbox/config

Scanning and EPG

Using autobouquets E2 for scanning, set up for 28.2E

It is set to scan at 4am
Cross epg all set up for 28.2E and set to populate at 04:10am

Menu - plugins - AUTOBOUQUETS - menu - then you can change REGION - green to save - green to scan.



Some pics

Special credits to skin developers like Chabs and Kiddac for bringing the "look" the interfaces that many like and want.

!!! UPDATED to 4.2.021 - without Kodi installed smaller file
!!! UPDATED to 4.2.021 - WITH KODI, larger file, says with Kodi.

!! ATTENTION !!

Recordings list i.e File list button (button next to menu on vu+ remote)

Have noticed a slight bug, to sort as temp

File list button - then menu - then change rows from 20 to 10 - use slim screen as YES - green to save.

That is OPTION 1 above.

Or if you know how to edit xml via filezilla and notepadd ++ then

edit /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-1-hd/extras.xml

Change movie slection panel from 3 to 1 as below.

<!-- Movies -->
<!-- 1 = Enigma2 Layout -->
<!-- 2 = Sky Planner Layout -->
<!-- 3 = Sky Planner No Fake tabs -->
<screen name="MovieSelection" position="0,0" size="1280,720" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="backgroundmid" title="Movie Selection" zPosition="-1">
<panel name="MovieSelection1" />
</screen>


Top option is best.

3 heave you heard of virual zap plugin, and how do I use i.t.
1. press menu when on channel selection list - then maybe adjust picon width to lowest it can go? worth a try
2. Media player I use, check my kodi thread also https://vuplus-images.co.uk/index.php?threads/kodi-16-1-few-good-working-addons.17512/

3. heard of it, never used.

Hi danny, great image, but one slight problem. if you install kodi from plugins, and restart, the box will not restart. I'm doing manual installation. do you have a link for the chabs file and channel list. I copied the skyq from your image to my desktop, and going too copy back over too new image. is there anything else manual I need to do. cheers

Was Image restarting fine prior to installing Kodi from plugins? did you change/install anything prior?

As for SKY Q - there is latest IPK in skins section on this fourm.

Channel list? used autobouquets maker I think.

You didnt still have FLASH USB in back when restarting box did you?

is it possible to have my vu solo2se box looking and operating similar to my z gemma star hs box?
Hmm, what image you use in zgemma hs?

I have two images on here openvix and an openatv one. Visually they have sky HD skin, picons, picon in infobar mod.

I don't have zgemma hs, nor do I know what you hs image looks like, so either try one of these, or build the image from scratch yourself so looks like your hs.

vix is on th ezgemma. do i need to reflash the box first before putting on the image?
No you flash the vusolose v2, with one of the vuplus folder from the zips on this thread.

As for openvix on zgemmas, not officially supported and surprised your plugin feeds still active on that

No worries, but please be careful of FLASH MEMORY if not using a usb or usb ( i advise to get one and best start Kodi as first start when a usb/hdd mounted as media/hdd, its no concern to me as its your box, but nobody wants to see a boxes flash memory get filled and ruined.

Menu - information - MEMORY - then FREE FLASH is what to keep an eye out for.

Enjoy :)

hi danny not sure what you meant, are you saying that I should keep away from flash memory, and use a non-flash usb drive instead.

I am saying without a USB or hard drive, everything will be saved to boxes flash memory (in layman terms the boxes internal storage)

Was just giving a heads up.

Ive been enjoying this image very much, thank you. I have one issue...last night I did something with my settings, ive managed to update them all manually and made a fresh backup. All is perfect except the IPTV has loads of feeds/addons not like your configured version.
How can I configure IPTV to the way it was i.e your way....is it a file/folder i need to edit? where is it located etc....thanks in advance.
