T2 Loading Progress
T2 Loading Progress
The T2 has no front panel, so unlike the other models there's no visible loading progress. I've remedied that with an on-screen display (this is the left island from OverlayHD's "Beach" background).
The first number is seconds since it was initialised (after the spinners are loaded). If anyone would like to try it out, I'll make a binary available.Re: T2 Loading Progress
Hi,
Wouldn't a picture of grass growing be more appropriate?
Maybe the island is giving us something to dream about while waiting!

Re: T2 Loading Progress
I think the U4 could use the same treatment. It just says ' loading' til LiveTV appears.

Re: T2 Loading Progress
Now your talking, that would be neat !!!
Booting stuff is so boring these days, software developers need to "think outside the box" and make things a bit more interesting for the consumer

Hi Exitguy,
Keep in mind that the more work to do during boot up the longer the boot up sequence will take.

Re: T2 Loading Progress
I toyed with the idea but didn't implement it, but with that comment I might have to. However, since the initial image has the island, I was going to deforest it, instead.
Re: T2 Loading Progress
I have two spinners, a startup "init" spinner which then switches to the "wait" spinner. My startup screen is Felix the cat pacing up and down on the beach.
Re: T2 Loading Progress
And that means you wouldn't really need the progress text (maybe not even for debugging, as you could just look at /etc/enigma2/profile) and it would work on every box. Hm...

Re: T2 Loading Progress
Here's a patch to display a simple progress bar during boot. It's not configurable atm, but I'm open to ideas. NB: this is for the T-series only, there's a separate version for the U4. I should point out that during testing it sometimes froze, needing a forced reboot. I changed how it works and it seems okay now, so I hope it's all good.
