Here's a few things about me that will probably help:
- I'm a recent transplant from Windows Media Center
- I'm a keyboard guy
- I use MP2 exclusively for recording TV (U.S. OTA) and it's working well
- I have MP2 Summer15 installed on the tv server (because the Kodi plugin wouldn't work with Spring16; although I'm no longer using Kodi), and I have Spring16 installed on a remote PC
I have quite a few questions, but I'm hoping they're all pretty straight-forward:
Keyboard access:
I found docs for MP1, but I couldn't find anything for MP2. So maybe if someone can point me in the right direction, I can find this on myself. But otherwise:
- Is there a keyboard shortcut (or even command-line) to directly access the TV guide?
- Once in the tvguide, is there a keyboard shortcut to advance 12/24 hours at a time?
- Is there a keyboard shortcut to change the current tvguide group?
--> I know I can cursor over to these and press <enter> but I'm looking for a more direct/easier to access method
Tv guide genres:
I'm using the "XmlTv" plugin with tvguide data obtained from a website. The tvguide.xml file contains genres (as <category>) but MP2 doesn't seem to pick it up. The only place I can find a reference to "genre" is if I click on a tv show, select "extended recording" and then it shows the genre is blank. Any help with this?
Misc:
Is it possible to display more time breaks above the tvguide? e.g. showing the top of every hour would be ideal.
Is there any way to turn off "always on top" when the window isn't full-screen and/or be able to minimize it?
Well, I have a couple more questions, but that's a good start
