No rec icon on live tv fullscreen on the OSD !? (1 Viewer)

[Psycho Reptile]

I would actually be nice to know that you are recording something (channel and program) on the TV/video OSD. Keep at it . Maybe it could be done thru skinning?

I dont think that is done just with skinning, it must be added/changed on the sourcecode which handles the recording icon - se my last post.

this is in the tv plugin.

the other issue that i want to see is the "now playing" and "next playing" times in the tvminiguide, instead of Now: and Next:... what not very usefull is...

and the next issue on the tvminiguide is, i dont need a text labeled (timeshifting), (recording) etc... its very hard to see on a big screen 5 meters away which channel are currently recorded etc...

my opinion is to display a simply rec, play, disabled icon => code change.

i must check the codes again and compile a new version of the tv plugin...

We did talk about having graphical icons for the various states.

"timeshifting"
"recording"
"not available"

etc.

I agree, having those icons would be better.

You mean (and i mean ) like the screenshot?

and check the start times at the front

Nice screenshot MoPhat, hopefully you (or someone) can impliment this in the code

I am afraid the code change you suggested would do no good. You have simply written the exact same functionality with more lines of code... The problem is rather that the call to IsRecording() takes current channel as argument.

+1 , I like it. It gives a much better overview...

More code should not be the problem, and the method IsRecording() can have his argument, the only thing is that the start times are returned and instead of changing text from channelname displaying one of 4 icons (play,rec,not available, [none]).

why is this a problem?

thanks for your feedback, i think we all together can make that MediaPortal is still the best MediaCenter

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you just said... All I was saying is that the line:

imgRecIcon.Visible=server.IsRecording(GetChannelName(), out card);

is the exact functional equivalent to:

if (server.IsRecording(GetChannelName(), out card))
{
imgRecIcon.Visible = true;
}
else
{
imgRecIcon.Visible = false;
}

so that code change would be unnecessary. I never said problem, just unnecessary.

I haven't looked at the code except what you posted, so I don't know what you're talking about in your last post... sorry...

sorry for my confusing answer


the only thing is, that the recording icon should be visible on any channel that i'm watching, and not just on this one which are recorded and watched

i hope its a little bit clearer my answer.

is this a big change in the code or does something goes broken after this change?

P.S.
yes, i have notized its the same function what im written in the code change

thanks for you answer
