Installing new Skin DM800se and DM800seV2 - 07/27/17 07:07 PM

Hi guys,

I would like to install new skins on my Boxes with JapharSIM and using the Blackhole and OpenPLI images.

I have found this one I like:

enigma2-plugin-skins-hdline-super_v1.4_all.ipk
dvpapi-components-tvpro_domica-mod_all.ipk

But I am NOT sure what to do with both files.!

So would the Telenet command after placing the files into folder TMP would be like this:

" opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/enigma2-plugin-skins-hdline-super_v1.4_all.ipk "
OR
like this:
" ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-skins-hdline-super_v1.4_all.ipk "

But what do I do with the second File:?
Do they belong together.?

Do I also put into TMP and Telenet command like this:
" opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/dvpapi-components-tvpro_domica-mod_all.ipk
OR
like this:
" ipkg install /tmp/vpapi-components-tvpro_domica-mod_all.ipk

what does the "all" mean in the file, can be used for "all" images or "all" image versions.?

Thanks for any help.

Skins are very image specific, so always better to have a backup of your image before installing a new skin.

all in a ipk, means it's mipsel+mips32el+mips32el-nf compatible,

ipkg tool to install ipk, is generally called opkg, and if called ipkg in fact it calls the opkg file. So not all images have both, some have only opkg.

Concerning the "opkg install -force-overwrite", the -force-overwrite is as it's wrote, to force the overwrite also if the package would not need an update... but could need it ;o).

I don't know, about the files if these work or not, you should ask on the topic if it's compatible with the image you want it for.

If you can do a backup of your image, then you can do all tests you want, loading the skin, you can also if you can, just telnet to the box to remove the skin folder if it fails. There is few options to clean out a bad skin.
