    Hey ltfearme, maybe you can add this great feature to the basic home... (Thanks to LatestMediaHandler, that give us this feature)

    • new skin properties for showing active tv recordings (title, start time, channel...)
    • new skin properties for showing next three scheduled recordings (title, start time, channel...)

    Here is the link to the SkinnersGuide for the code.

    For Example from XBMC... at the right Corner

    Here is a screen for X-Factor and Purevision. Looks very good imho.

    @ltfearme, any chance for integration? Or even any modder interested in working on that?

    Ok, maybe other way round: Anyone give me a pointer how to start a mod for Basichome? I am willing to work on this, but don't really see how to do it.

    My idea so far:
    1. Create BasicHome.UpcomingRecordings.xml
    2. Insert <import>BasicHome.UpcomingRecordings.xml</import> into BasicHome.xml

    Would that be correct so far?

    And if so, how to fill the BasicHome.UpcomingRecordings.xml? Is there a skinning guide somewhere?

    Yes this would be correct.
    Parameters for skinning you will find in the Latest Media Handler wiki.

    Guess its too complicated for me. Just made a short attempt but havent seen any changes in Basic Home. Maybe StreamedMP is too complex for a newbie in skinning like me...guess waiting for a talented guy is better for me ;)

    Ok, first attempt attached. This is only for homescreen of MyTv and is configured to be vertical summary #2 (below recordings summary). Be aware to import this file in your BasicHome.xml!

    Oh and yes...its pretty simple and quick and dirty...e.g. hardcoded the title for the summary.

    Worked on it a bit and have a version for BasicHome always centered top. Anyone give me pointer how to set it up that its not shown on weather overlay in BasicHome? Must be something in the <visible>-tag, but with !control.isvisible(7977) it doesnt work here. What am I doing wrong?

    Where do I have to insert the import file in the basichome.xml. For me it works only if I chose the plugins item of the menue. So I think I insert it the import line on the wrong place.
