Re: AW: ajp8164_stage Build Release Thread

I tried your build. Only one cosmetic thing I found - the single channel EPG view is little bit distorted.

@mironicus,

Please see the documentation at MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture/MP_1_1_0-to-TBD - MediaPortal Manual Documentation. I know, it's buried ;-)

Here is the fix for you (it's actually a feature ;-) -- the version of my build you have may not have had the "backward compatible" code added (I added it later). The latest post of my build is backward compatible for text placement in the guide.

(from the doc)

"Added ability to control position of program text inside TV guide buttons. You'll need to add posX and posY to controls 24, 26 (title) and 23, 30 (genre) as below example. These values have been added to the template so that the skinner may adjust the position of the program title text in the program button. Implementation is backward compatible; skinners are not required to add these attributes to these controls."

    <control>
      <description>template for program title light area</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>24</id>
      <visible>no</visible>
      <label>-</label>
      <font>font14</font>
      <textcolor>ccffffff</textcolor>
      <posX>10</posX>
      <posY>6</posY>
    </control>

Hi Andy, I have a little tested your build and why you have not included your skin "Focus" for test news improvement in the skin engine?

;-)

Been working on other cool stuff at the moment (to support the pending Maya skin)... I think people will really like it ;-)

Hi Andy, for the latest version 24939. Tested it and all the features I tried work as expected - but have difficulties with TV - very heavy stuttering. Maybe the cause is using the last SVN where the devs are still trying to get rid of EVR stuttering.
Therefore I switched back to the official SVN - and didn´t find the new feature

Catavolt-

I am reasonably sure that I did not affect code that has to do with EVR (but you never know ;-) I'll be happy to perform a followup build "soon" as the main trunk is updated to correct those related problems. If I don't see the fix post please repost here or PM me and I'll build. Thanks!

Hi ajp8164

I have been using youre build and i like some of the changes.

One big thing is bugging me though. In tv guide there are no difference in colors of light/dark areas.

In blue3 and Maya there is a light/dark color of shows showing the now playing and other timeslots.

But in youre build only one color is shown ... is that a bug or is that on purpouse ?

Regards

is there any skin / mod which is actually using your changes?

@ajp8164
is there any chance that you release a patch file so that everybody is able to patch his own build?

Not sure My changes have been integrating into MP since June/July and there have been many merges with other peoples changes since. If there is a way to diff my branch against the trunk I suppose a patch could be created. I don't know how to do that but am willing to give it a try if its possible.

I know it is a long shot, but I suppose if you don't ask you don't get...

Could you provide a patch to the 'Submit Patch' thread for the HD icon in TVGuide? I'd love to see this integrated ASAP. If you submit that as a patch then at least we could build by our own MP with this small but very cool and useful addition

The 'problem' I see with all your changes being bulk implemented in the future is that there are so many perhaps the MP dev' team won't be so happy to incorporate them all at the same time.

Thanks for your work!

It's a bug. I have found and corrected the bug. It will be fixed in my next build post.

Not really. I have started a skin called Focus that uses the features but have not had time to work on the skin. The Maya team has expressed a desire but until my skin engine enhancements get merged to the trunk I think most are waiting. I am waiting for the dev team to release 1.1.0. Then I will push hard to merge in my changes.

Unfortunately this would be just too difficult. I have made a number of enhancements to the TV guide and the enhancement you mention is buried in those changes. :sorry:
