Added support for linked channels e.g. Premiere Direkt Portal

[lkuech]

Yes. The subchannel plays perfectly. But I have to go back via the mini-epg or any other way to choose the portal channel again. The subchannels are not part of the channel group that holds the portal channels... maybe this is the cause...

I will post the logs this evening (hopefully ).

How do I add icons to the subchannels?

Because they change their name the next time there's no icon anymore.

[mpfrank]

The subchannels are working perfect for me... BUT: I cannot record the subchannel I'm watching, not even manual.... If I press "R" or try to start recording from context menu (F9) nothing happens.... The subchannel is not recorded.

Is there any solution for this problem? Or maybe somebody can tell me how to handle recording subchannels... ??

Thanks!

When I open the context menu on one of the "Portal"-channels I'm able to select the available subchannels and everything works like it should... But when I'm at the subchannel I'm unable to open the conext menu (to change the subchannel or go back to portal) at all.

Hi gemx.

This problem seems still be there. I'm not sure in which situation it happens though... It is not a permanently reproduce able...
I'm currently try to nail this issue down
What I know is that a "NullReferenceException" in the "UpdateProgressBar" method of the TVOSD.cs occurs in such situations. Also it appears only if I use the "Show_OSD" action which is bind to my "i"-key of my remote. The action "Context_Menu" which shows the context menu directly without the TVOSD does always work.

I will keep you informed if I found something.

Hi gemx,
i can confirm this problem.

[lkuech]

Hi chrissooo.

Do you have an idea how to reproduce this bug more reliable?
Here on my side It happens from time to time. But I did found the real source until now... It would be much easier for me to fix it if I would knew how to reproduce it.

Morning.

Some progress...

I guess I found the constellation to reproduce this issue a bit more reliable. I didn't had the time yesterday to dig a little bit deeper, but it looks like the following:

If you switch to a PortalChannel and wait a few seconds the linked channels become renamed. If you now use the context menu to "jump" to one of the renamed subchannels and try to open the OSD you have a good chance to see the same exception.
Channels that has not been renamed do work all the time. Restarting MP (not tve3) does also fix the issue for the renamed channels...

My guess is that the channel name that is returned by the "GetChannelName()" method of the TVOSD.cs is still the old one in such a condition ... I will try to debug that this evening.

[chrissooo]

this is what i thing too
Only fresh renemed channels make this problem

[lkuech]

Progress ones again

I fixed it!
Because of the current feature freeze I decided to fix it by some kind of a workaround, because a decent solution would introduce to much new code.

My guess was right. TvOsd retrieved old data (the old displayname of the subchannel) because the displayname was changed only in the database directly and the already cached information remains untouched.

My "workaround" is to reaload the cached information as soon as the requested channel information was not found (because it was searched for a different name).

This change is small enough to commit it directly to SVN.
