Test; Active Recordings - an easier way to view & del. rec's

gibman · 2008-05-27, 10:51

Hi!

I have coded a small addition to the tvhome screen in tvplugin.

A new button "active recordings" have been added.

It gives the user a better view on which recordings are currently active.
And better yet, it lets the user abort any of these with a "are u sure" prompt of course.

Plz test it and report back.

currently I have only changed the "mytvhomeserver.xml" file for the xface skin.
The changes are very simple.

...

<control>
<description>Active Recordings</description>
<type>button</type>
<id>14</id>
<width>253</width>
<label>200052</label>
<onup>3</onup>
<ondown>7</ondown>
<onright>99</onright>
</control>
...

So porting this to other skins should be easy.
If the button is not present in the XML file, then the code handles this by not using this new functionality.

Also some new language stuff has been added as well.

<String id="200052">Active recordings</String>
<String id="200053">No active recordings</String>

use latest SVN + xface + extract the contents of the RAR file to ur MP folder.

EDIT; its in SVN now.

hey, this sounds like something that people have been requesting for a while.
Thanks.

I can't test it myself unfortunately, I'm in Hong Kong for two weeks.
I am looking forward to using it when I get back though
