Hi Kazz,

Will the OHD Skin work on the V2 by any chance? TIA.
Unfortunately I can't answer this question. I have been banned and excluded from all V2 development information.
The software changes (pull requests) I submitted about six months ago to implement some new standards that are implemented in OverlayHD are still not merged in the Beyonwiz image. I have not seen the new Beyonwiz 19.3 firmware code so I don't know if any of my new code (that is now implemented and standard in the OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenViX and other images) has been implemented into the Beyonwiz firmware.
I'm sorry I can't give you any better or more definitive news. This situation is completely out of my hands.
Regards,
Ian.

Are you already using a V2, or is this a pre-purchase question?
I just loaded OverlayHD onto a V2 running 20190628, and it worked just fine, though I didn't test it much. I think some others also tested it during pre-release testing, but I'm not sure how much of a workout it got. There shouldn't be issues with running it on earlier V2 firmware. If you want to know whether it works on any particular V2 release let me know, and I'll try it.
I don't use OverlayHD myself. There may be some V2 users who are already using OverlayHD who may be able to comment further. I don't recall anyone posting that OverlayHD was broken on the V2.

Hi Prl,
The version of OverlayHD on the Beyonwiz is not the latest. I didn't push the latest versions to Beyonwiz because I don't think it will work correctly. The three immediate areas of issue are:
- OverlayHD now users the BUTTONGUIDE recommendation for triggering buttons in the UI. In this case the HELP button. PeterU refuses to merge the pull request that activates this feature for Beyonwiz users.
- Beyonwiz does not use the current NumericalTextInput code. OpenATV, OpenPLi and OpenViX have adopted this code a while ago so OverlayHD has been upgraded to support the new version.
- Beyonwiz does not use the current VirtualKeyBoard code. OpenATV, OpenPLi and OpenViX have adopted this code a while ago so OverlayHD has been upgraded to support the new version.
There may be other issues but it has been a while since I was excluded from the recent Beyonwiz change discussions.
Regards,
Ian.

I'm already using the V2I'm on the 19.3.20190623 FW, I'll give it a try this week. I was just concerned it might break something on the V2 by installing it.

Is there a setting to make the current position tag "Transparent", so it is possible to see any "hidden" tags obscured by the current position marker?

Hi Henk,
Yes this has been done in the later versions of OverlayHD.
I have attached the new thumb with a transparent strip to allow the markers to show through. Just copy the attached file and replace the file of the same name on your system "/usr/share/enigma2/OverlayHD/sliders/pointer.png".
Regards,
Ian.

Thanks for that Ian, just what I was looking for.
Could it be added to the default 1.10.ipg install package, as a final touch for future users installing this very useful skin plugin.

Hi Henk,
OverlayHD is already an option for installation if the feed server package is installed. The issue is that all newer versions of OverlayHD are no longer compatible with Beyonwiz firmware.
Regards,
Ian.

Hi Ian.
Can you please tell me in what file/directory the settings are saved (when you click Save in the skin manager)? I want to copy them from the U4 to the V2 (both running v1.70) which would save me hours of doing it all manually.

I'm guessing it's the settings and themes as detailed in this post -

Thanks GG. I'll give that a whirl.

Uggghhh... too hard. Manual labour it is.

Turns out there wasn't as many settings needing changing as I thought.

G'day,
I just applied the latest firmware update "beyonwiz-19.3-beyonwizt2-20211010" to my T2 and noticed something odd.
I have very good TV reception here and both signal quality and signal strength are 100% and normally stay there. After applying this latest update, the infobar shows both at 100%, however now there is a flashing background that has "BIT ERROR DETECTED". There is no picture break up and no issue with recording. The same two indicators have no oddities with other skins.
Just thought I'd report it.
