[TV] Make "timeshift buffer will be lost" warning dialog optional and consistent (1 Viewer)

[DieBagger]

pilehave: I think what you mean is when tv screen is not running fullscreen (while framug is thinking MediaPortal fullscreen/windowed)...

edit: nevermind

The patch works well so far, however maybe instead of:

• "avoid confirmation when stop playing tv"

something like

• "show confirmation when stop playing tv"

would be more logical to the user.

Well, not exactly.
I thought same as pilehave for tv screen fullscreen (this time ).
Patch has same behaviour, both with MP window windowed or MP window fullscreened.

With your sentence change proposal, and for not changing actual warning dialog box enabled by default, the checkbox should be enabled in this case and, this implies changes evrywhere for this setting (false --> true and vice-versa).

Finally, I would add an explanation for this (optional) setting for no misunderstanding.
At first stage and before Team decision (before Chemelli post), I added this setting.
And this was not planned to be posted here.
It's only after own test I saw problem with warning dialogbox not displayed all the time.
Then, I decided to post here because, I thought it could have some interest for the Team.
Sadly, setting and fix for warning dialogbox are nested together in this dev.

Not sure I understand you correctly... Will this patch (including the config option) make it into the svn at some point?

thx

It depends on Team discussion/decision.

i hope we can get rid of that window at all, because for me it makes absolute no sense at all.

any word on the result of the team discussion?

Lol I asked this long ago and I never understood the reasoning for keeping the dialog

I would like to see a user complaining "I lost my timeshift buffer because I stopped TV"

We are thinking of sensible ways of doing this, as these have been nicknamed "NAG SCREENS", maybe the best way would be to have a general setting of enable\disable, enabled being the default.

This could then also apply to all confirmation screens except play from start\resume where left off, think that is the only exception, but bound to be more that I don't use

Some remotes have stop/pause button close to each other and it is possible to press stop by an accident. Now this doesn't have any bad side effects, unless you are watching time shifted material as you will lose part of the movie / program.

Yeah, still, anything can happen "by accident" so in my opinion it's not very good approach to design things. Current dialog disturbs normal users and is useful only for those who are careless, and who would probably learn when making the mistake first time, if the dialog wouldn't be there.
