New Schedules Concept

[The_Stig]

Sounds good and I agree that we need to consider the input type of the different user types (remote, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen). It should work for all of them.
I am now sparing further sketches since you guys know what is the goal of the design and how it's supposed to work. And I am not very gifted on doing design stuff. So it would be great if a skinner could jump in and do some nice gfx based on my idea?

the Idea of Muldini with a Menu on the button is nice, but i have a this:

look to the image (is not so nice, but i don't an artist).

i have select one off the Series-Recording, the upcoming Episodes are left on screen

when i now press "OK" (or automatic after a few seconds) the screen scrolls to the right and on the left side a option menu appears. the first upcoming Episode is now highlighted.
the new Button "Option" is selected

from this, i can with "up, down, left"-key chose an option. with the right-key i go back to the selection of Series.

on bottom is place for EPG, so users can see information about Episode of Series

The Idea of this is: no place on screen, put it sidewards
looks nice with smooth move

Good one!

I somehow like this concept, and it fits pretty well in the one that i-loop proposed.

What might be a improvement for the whole schedule section and might fit in here as well, is something like "suggested recordings". I miss something like that since The_Stig showed me the search function of the TVE3

That means when you i.e. search for a show that contains "Bruce Willis" in it's description, you will be ask if you want this query type to act as a suggestion...
... and everytime you enter the schedule section you will automatically see new shows that fit your interested and you are able to schedule them just by select them.

Yeah, but I guess we have to wait for a proper "advanced" scheduling system to see where/how this could fit into the concept?!?

BTW: I still would love to see someone taking over i-loops general suggestion with my scheduling concept...but i guess time will tell :-)

Hi all,

one thing I miss in the current scheduling possibilities of MP is, that I am not able to explicitly say "from - to".
Means If I would like to record a show that starts at 20:15 that's not a problem, but I can not say it stop's at 21:35 as I have to define a predefined timeframe of 90 minutes or whatever....
