mofux,

what do you think about this idea:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=10869

You seem to be a guy who is thinking a lot about ergonomy ... the idea is to have a possibilty to navigate VERY fast in the channels by having a visual OSD.



thanks + regards

What does the 'Analog' selection do - I'd like to see this as a cycle through my groups - is that right?

Yes, this will let you cycle through your channel groups - left and right change groups, up and down flips through the channel list.

i don't like that idea that much- because: hey, why to group channels to see them all together then? this makes no sense to me + this layout as posted in the thread would be hard to realize because imagine more than 5 groups (ouch) or only 1 group (what a big window for only one group) or more than 20+ channels per group or too long names for the groups / channels - you know what i mean? it's hard to get all those information on one screen... so i think this solution is much better....

yeah, "Analog" is in this case the name of the group i have currently selected... you can loop through all your groups...

i also thought about the record icon and think i will add this... also a feature like "auto zap to show when show begins" would be a good addition for that...

unfortnately i forgot to upload the sources somewhere so that they are still (and only) on my brothers computer... so i'll have to wait until he's back home from hollidays to send me the sources to my home computer ...

maybe i should create a seperate thread for this discussion as it's not really related to the skin...

btw... Brocklander did the mockups for this MiniGuide, so thanks alot Brocklander!!! you can always contact me and make suggestions...

channel preview

Idea for your skin:

Channels are updated at regular intervals. Watch interesting programs directly in the channel preview or click to switch to the TV window.

(Sorry for my bad English, I'm French )

I like the channel surf option. I miss it from the early days when I still used WinTV 2000.

Mofux,

Have you ever had the feeling as a child; Standing in the world biggest candy store with a handfull of money, but not able to buy any candy because the store owner told you, he is still adding new candys to his store. Untill the whole store is filled, you are not allowed to buy any candy!!!!!!!!


I bet all people who read this thread, know exactly how it feels.

Yes, but we should also understand that the store owner wants all candy to taste good before opening the store, so the children do not get disappointed. Also he does not want to spend his days explaining to new children why there are some candy missing in his store.
We should all wait until he feels it is the right time to open the store. After all, he is going to give all the candy away for free!

i think this is a good idea also, but that's not up to a skinner to implement this - it's more a feature request for mediaportal. but you're lucky and i'm a dev also so there might be a chance to get this implemented in the future
