Change the Channel List View Tutorial

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Lads

The Eagle and Dm500 don’t have a video button like the DM7000.

So this means we cannot change the channel list view to 2 and 3 columns and we are restricted to the single colum view in most images.

Well here is a fix.

What we need to do is copy the rcdm5xxx.xml found in /share/tuxbox/enigma/resources/

Copy this file to your desktop and open it up in WordPad or anything that works for you, notepad wont.
Now what we need to do is edit these lines in your copied rcdm5xxx.xml.The one on your desktop not the one in your image.

Edit these lines.
key name="video" code="27" picture="key.11" />
<key name="help" code="52" picture="key.23" />

To these.
<key name="video" code="52" picture="key.11" />
<key name="help" code="27" picture="key.23" />

What this does is change the function of the help button into the video button we need!
Save the modified file and close WordPad.

Now the modified file needs to be FTP’d to the following directory within your image.
/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/resources/

Once transferred do a soft reboot of your Eagle.

Now select your channel list on your remote and press the help button you can now toddle between the various views.

One word of caution although this tweak will work on all images, each image has a slightly different rcdm5xxx.xml file and you cannot transfer the rcdm5xxx.xml between images.

Hope this is of interest to you lads
Thanks
