I think that the <hyperlinkParameter> tag was intended for use with plugins/extensions. The "MyTvProgram.xml" panel (which I call "Upcoming Episodes") is not really a plugin, even though it is part of the "TV Server" plugin.

"Upcoming Episodes" can be accessed from the "TV Guide" panel, the "Radio Guide" panel, or by pressing the INFO button on the "Recorded TV" or "Recorded Radio" panels and selecting "Upcoming Episodes" on the Context menu. Clearly in all cases some information must be passing from the invoking panel to the invoked panel, so that the correct information can be displayed, but I think that it must be some sort of internal interface that does not use <hyperlinkParameter>. (I am happy to be corrected if I have got this wrong.)

One of the things that I do in my skin is to have "Search TV Guide" and "Search Radio Guide" as selections in the left side menu on the "Upcoming Episodes" panel. Jumping to either search panel works correctly. The problem arises when returning from the search panel to "Upcoming Episodes", because the "parameter" info has got lost, and so "Upcoming Episodes" shows an empty list, even when there are episodes in the EPG.

[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1273124, member: 141969"] I think that the <hyperlinkParameter> tag was intended for use with plugins/extensions. The "MyTvProgram.xml" panel (which I call "Upcoming Episodes") is not really a plugin, even though it is part of the "TV Server" plugin. :confused: "Upcoming Episodes" can be accessed from the "TV Guide" panel, the "Radio Guide" panel, or by pressing the INFO button on the "Recorded TV" or "Recorded Radio" panels and selecting "Upcoming Episodes" on the Context menu. Clearly in all cases some information must be passing from the invoking panel to the invoked panel, so that the correct information can be displayed, but I think that it must be some sort of internal interface that does not use <hyperlinkParameter>. (I am happy to be corrected if I have got this wrong.)
