On an authorised OpenPLi receiver, use OpenWebif from your trusted local network. For a support image, choose the capture mode that shows the needed on-screen information. If you deliberately create a timer from the web guide, verify it on the receiver after saving.
Open the receiver’s existing local interface
Use a browser on the receiver owner’s trusted local network. Confirm the intended receiver address through its usual device settings and use the configured login if required. OpenPLi documents this as a local management interface. If it is unavailable in that setup, keep access local and consult the owner or exact image guidance for the existing configuration.
Capture only the useful part of the screen
Open Remote control and use Capture screenshot in the documented OpenWebif view. Choose OSD for an error message or menu label. The other available modes can include the programme video, so select the mode that fits the support task. Check the capture before saving a copy.
For example, if support needs the exact wording of a timer warning, capture the OSD with the warning still open. Crop unrelated menus and any private account details or paths. If the screen contains a secret inside the error text, record a redacted copy of the wording instead. If the capture shows a different screen, verify the receiver and current TV state before collecting another image.
Use the web EPG only for a deliberate timer
The project wiki documents opening the EPG from a bouquet and using the timer plus action on the selected event. Check the event’s date, exact service, timer type and destination using the controls offered by the installed image. Once saved, open the receiver’s normal timer list to verify the entry. Choose this route only when the owner intends to schedule that event.
If an offered control is missing, record the OpenPLi and OpenWebif versions and current view. For a support handoff, share the narrow screenshot or timer state through the agreed channel. Keep the receiver address and sign-in details private.
