    aMPed TV Server fix

    Here are the files for the screens you showed me so far. I am still trying to figure you why you don't get recorded tv data on genres/tv channels views.

    I really could use your TVGuide data. Not mytvguide.xml but TVGuide.xml which is located in the folder you specified in TVServer Setup (in MP Configurations) under Program Guide.

    I can't get a decent EPG in India, so my data is pretty thin.

    P.S. Can you check if you get the Genre/TV Channel Recorded TV data in the original Blue3 skin? You can also check any other problems you find against Blue3 and let me know if they work there, cuz then I can just copy in the code :)

    No worries, I managed to create some test data that seems to work.

    So I found a few more which you may not have run into yet. Here's a new zip with them all (I made some more minor changes to the ones I sent previously)

    Have you tried the TV Server Scheduler Search? There are xmls for it, but I don't know what they do exactly! Just let me know if Search is working OK. I think I managed to check everything else.

    Are you still unable to view RecordedTV in Genres/TV Channels view? I can't dupllicate that here.

    At lot of the TV Section is still from Blue3. I really want to do a major overhaul/redesign, maybe for the next big release, if I get time!

    I really appreciate your feedback cuz I was feeling bad that I had not been able to check the TVServer pages. Thanks a ton. Let us know if there's anything else you'd like :)

    Hi,
    and a big Thanks! for this great skin.

    But also one issue ;-)

    Using Blue3++ I had no problems to see the rss-feed at the bottom of the home screen.
    But with aMPed the feed seems to be displayed at another position - it moved closer to the bottom border of the screen.
    As a result I can only see the first line of pixels of the feed - and that's really not enough :D

    Could you please consider some overscan at the bottom?

    <edit>
    This seems to be a general problem - when playing a video and showing the movie-info osd I can only see 2/3 of the textbox - the rest is out of screen.
    </edit>

    Ah, and I still have the issue with wrapping of the wheather text (you remember the bug report in blue3++?) - I took a screenshot of it here:



    The words 'bewölkt und windig' should be displayed in one line (no wrapping) - there is enough space left.

    Thanks & Regards,
    moh

    There's not much space left, I don't think the rss feed etc can be moved upwards really with the current design. Maybe using a different resolution will help.

    About the wrapping, the width of that tag is already 750 which is bigger then the intended screen. The only thing I can think of is that there's a linebreak in your weather feed. But that should be noticed in other skins too.

    all this can be adjusted through editing common.window.xml.

    -----Edit--------

    You could try the attachment for the wrapping problem, I made it a fadelabel

    Hi joz,
    my current resolution is 720*576 - PAL. It really doesn't make sense to switch to a higher resolution for this 'old school' 4:3 crt ;-)

    What happened to 'aMPed stands for readability and usability first, design second' ? *hehe*
    Just kidding. ;)

    I'll play around with the common.window.xml, maybe I'll find a setting that fixes my issues.
    If not, I'll stay with blue3++ - it works really good and fits my needs nearly perfectly (besides the weather-thing)...

    Thanks & Regards,
    moh

    Hi joz,
    just recognized your edit - thanks, I'll try this modification!

    But please understand me:
    I can live with the wrapping-issue.

    But that overscan-thing is a no-go for me. Everything worked well with Blue3++, I have seen everything on screen. But with aMPed, I really have problems with controls and gfx which aren't completely visible on screen (only at the bottom, everything else looks perfect). Not only the rss-feed, also other things.

    Is there really no way to fix this? As I already mentioned it seems to be a general issue, because it affects a lot of views...

    Sorry, no idea, but I'll keep track of aMPed, maybe we'll find a solution...

    Thanks & Regards,
    moh

    You got me, don't know really why this sort of thing tend to happen.
    Moving up everything on every screen to keep track of the overscan will mean editing a lot. What's overscan exactly? I got my ATI driver setup to automatically do stuff and resize it, resolution is set to 1024x768, can't pick 720x576. This also means I do not use the whole screen, it has tiny black bars on top / bottom.
