Another change to MyRSS (1 Viewer)

[AndyQ]

I've submitted a patch (1261272) to change the way the available feeds are displayed. Now uses a list control rather than a select button.

I've changed all the 4 skins and also fixed a bug in the GUITextScrollUpControl where the scrolloffset doesn't get reset when you set the text (resulting in the text disappearing off the screen initially).

Andy,

First, thanks a lot for your nice work, very appreciated!

fixed a bug in the GUITextScrollUpControl

committed & thanks for fixing "my" bug

Regarding the myNews plugin:

Nice work and it's better than before, but I have a suggestion:

How about having a FEED-button displaying the currently selected feed...
... and if the button is clicked, a popup-dialog appears showing all available feeds in a modal select dialog? Exactly the same way we select a Music-View / Program-View ?

This would look nicer to me and would be more consistent!
What do you think?

Thanks again,

Daniel

If you go to WritTorrent and scroll 2/3 (or more) down on this web page you will find "xml2xlobby - XSL Transformations for Xlobby provides syndicated media channels" It seems this fellow has some open source available and maybe able to put to some good use? Looks like he has already created a plugin for XLobby.

Thats not a bad idea at all - I'll take a look at that.

Andy,

a good place to peek at is GUIMusicBaseWindow.cs, "OnShowViews"
and to use the GUIDialogMenu dialog to select the feed.

I'm sure the screen would look less busy! Do you want me to do that or give it a try?

Hope you don't mind about that "different" idea

Thanks,

Daniel

protected void OnShowViews()
{
	GUIDialogMenu dlg=(GUIDialogMenu)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_DIALOG_MENU);
	if (dlg==null) return;
	dlg.Reset();
	dlg.SetHeading(924); // menu
	dlg.Add ( GUILocalizeStrings.Get(134));//songs
	foreach (ViewDefinition view in handler.Views)
	{
		dlg.Add( view.Name); //play
	}
	dlg.DoModal( GetID);

BLABLABLA

	if (dlg.SelectedLabel==-1) return;
}

I'm on it....

OK, Submitted patch: 1263524

Pressing the Select Feed button now brings up a dialog box (same as My Music select view) where the feed can be selected.

A progress dialog is also displayed (for min of 1 sec to avoid dialog flicker) when retrieving the feed so that the user is aware that something is happening.

Also, fixed a bug in GUIDialogText where if you scroll down a few pages, exist the dialog and bring it up again, the scroll buttons say you are on page 1 but the displayed text isn't the first page.

Patch contains all 4 myrss.xml skins, GUIialogText.cs & GUIRSSFeed.cs.

GREAT! All in cvs, thank you for your nice work!

Is this the same "CVS" as is found on http://www.myshare.de/mediaportal-cvs-download.php, or somewhere different? I downloaded the 21-06 file from today and did not see this included as one of the plugins, so I wasn't sure if there was some other place I should look. I would love to know since this plugin sounds great!

I've just checked the latest (mediaportal-cvs-08-19-2005--23-49.rar) and the MyNews chanes are in that.
