Settings

Open them with MENU inside the plugin. The Log level entry is only shown in expert mode.

Setting Default Effect
Data source TVFürAlle Where the programmes come from: TVFürAlle, TVMovie or TVSpielfilm
Bouquet Auto Which bouquet's channels are shown
Picon directory /usr/share/enigma2/picon/ Folder checked first for picons (see below)
Log level INFO ERROR, INFO, DEBUG. Lines in the Enigma2 debug log start with TVC:

Data source

See Data Sources for what each delivers. After you save a changed source, the plugin clears the screen, deletes the cache and loads the new source's data. Saving without changing the source keeps the cache. If you change only the bouquet, the view is reloaded.

Bouquet

Choice Meaning
Auto The bouquet you last used in Enigma2's channel list
A bouquet name Always that bouquet

The title bar shows the bouquet's name, worked out when the plugin opens and again after you save the settings. In Auto mode it is the bouquet that contains the channel you are watching, which can differ from the one used for the columns if you have navigated the channel list to another bouquet since.

Only TV bouquets are offered. Channels still have to be known to the plugin to appear (see Channels).

Picon directory

A folder with picons that the plugin checks first. A picon is found there if it is named after the channel's service reference with the colons replaced by underscores and no trailing one, for example 1_0_19_2855_401_1_C00000_0_0_0.png. If the folder has none for a channel, Enigma2's own picon lookup (its picon paths and name patterns) is used. The default, /usr/share/enigma2/picon/, is Enigma2's standard folder, so nothing changes unless you point it somewhere else.

Not in the setup screen

Key Default Effect
config.plugins.tvmagazinecockpit.temp_dir /data/TVC The cache folder. The only choice offered is /data/TVC

Applying changes

Data source and bouquet changes take effect when you leave the settings with save; the plugin reloads by itself. The log level takes effect at once.
