With great pleasure, I finally present publicly my latest project, which is none other than my new skin called Glamour Aura FHD by MCelliotG. It's a labor of more than a year in the making and testing!
Glamour Aura FHD (GAFHD) is a Full High Definition and High graphic resolution skin for receivers running Enigma2 and the recent OpenPLI/OpenPLI-based images.
Due to it's high resolution graphical nature, GAFHD was designed and optimized to run on new generation receivers. The minimal requirement is an STB with a CPU of 750 Mhz (2000 DMIPS).

GAFHD is also a skin you can contribute to. The ipk of the skin is distributed with closed converters/renderers, but all the python code along with the skin code is available on Github.
You can find the source code here: [Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links] liotG%2FGlamourAuraFHD-skin)
You can pull your requestsand I will push contributions after testing.

GAFHD on par with its graphical user interface is fortified with an extended python system that runs along with OpenPLI's enviroment, providing it with some exclusive new features.

SCREENSHOTS and extended features presentation
1. Main Infobar
The main infobar is divided into two sections. The top section contains all frequency and signal info. GAFHD is the first skin that fully supports real-time info for Multistream services, showing MIS info when such a service is tuned. Up to 12 tuners can also be displayed. The left top part is a weather panel which shows today's weather. Weather info requires the MSN weather plugin to be installed and configured (instructions will follow).

The top infobar will also display full stream URL and stream type when a service is stream.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
The lower section is the main infobar which contains along with the program info, an extended service info icons panel, including icons for audio/video codecs, a full exact framerate display, and a short weather panel which shows the current weather condition. GAFHD can also display a live bitrate if the bitrate plugin is installed and configured (this will be explained below as well).
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
The lowest part of the main infobar is the extended encryption info. GAFHD uses a new detection feature which shows all available caids and encryption system names of a service.

NOTE: The skin works best with 400X240 picon size.

2. Second infobar
The second infobar brings an amplitude of extra information for both the service and the system layout. The weather panel shows additional info on tomorrows weather.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
The left panel is the layout info showing real time CPU work, temperature, speed and load and internal HDD temperature. The upper layers show the pids of the service in decimal format and also real time info on connected storage devices, memory and swap.The middle part displays now and next program extended description.

3. Channel selection screens
Channel selection along with the service list on the right displays the extended program description on the left, the five following events and also a new transponder info panel which also shows the stream type and stream url on a stream service and transponder info for the rest.

GAFHD is a truly multilingual skin. It utilizes the new Aura new font I created based on Roboto and Noto fonts the skin is able to show Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic and Georgian among others. More alphabets can be added by request.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Download the ipk of the file. Send the file to /tmp your receiver using an FTP program. Then you can install it manually via telnet or via the software manager.
Manually:
opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-skins-glamouraurafhd_RC.3_all.ipk 2) FOR BITRATE INFO
The bitrate plugin is essential for bitrate to work. You can download it from the plugins menu. For correct display in the skin it needs to be configured as follows:
mode: as infobar, style skin: compact, background window: transparent-black, X screen position: 1645, Y screen position: 0837, Z screen position: 14. The correct settings are also shown in the screencap below:

3) FOR WEATHER INFO
The weather info requires the msn weather plugin to be installed. I have included the ipk as well. After installation you can configure your location via its settings menu.
Download MSN weather plugin from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links]!bNNVFSYB!9YW_42B6x5QJiCYecXEB2lEkpA1b3KOsUKNOg87-0sk

NOTE: For IPTV streams serviceapp is highly recommended with this skin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As stated above, GAFHD is designed to work well ONLY for receivers with a CPU higher than 750Mhz. This is an obligatory limitation due to the high resolution graphical nature of the skin which also makes the package large in size. For receivers with slower CPUs use at your own risk! Also, GAFHD for the moment will not work on any other images (such as OE-A) than OpenPLI and OpenPLI-based images (like SatDreamGr, etc).

I want to personally thank my beta testers for their feedback. I encourage developers to contribute to the skin's further development in github.
I really hope you enjoy my work.

Like the skin but I don't use picons so I wanted to cover over the default picon just for personal customization.
I took some images from the web and resized them 400x240 to fit the original located in user/share/enigma2/GlamourAuraFHD.

B 16 didn't seem to be compatible with the lastest SatdreamGr experimental 2018-09-06 vu+ zero 4K image.
Every time trying to do a blind scan, manual scan or even use signal finder I got a green screen crash.

In the crashlog I see no reference to the skin crashing, but the system crashes on loading the ConfigList. Perhaps there was something on their side, some incomplete update maybe.
Anyway B20 is the last version and I'm working on a new one that supports all the latest changes in develop enigma!

Ran online software update and it updated to Enigma version 2018-09-14. Now the skin is ok. Thanks!
