Hello,
Another request for recorded files.

In MyVideos, when we go in a folder, we have items number displayed :



But, in recorded files, no items number :



Is it possible to have this "extra" information, please ?

Is it possible to have this "extra" information, please ?

No - a skinner can only use the properties available in the respective screen - and TV recordings screen no has any property for numbering the entries.

Not sure if this helps but I put items count in apollo skin in recorded tv screen, see attached.
It doesn't give selected item but total only.
I used this label in mytvrecordedtv.xml.
<label>#itemcount Items</label>
Is this what you had in mind?

TV recordings screen no has any property for numbering the entries.

It doesn't give selected item but total only.

The skin engine does provide this information, but with quirks. The following screen shot is for the "Recorded Radio" panel in my "Clarity" skin (the "Recorded TV" panel is the same, as I use common code for both panels):



However, the quirks are that the values are sometimes unset, and sometimes set incorrectly. So to get a sensible outcome in all cases, it is necessary to use some complicated logic. This is what I use:

  <control>
    <description>Number of items in a list</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>#cw.nlist.count.y</posY>
    <width>#cw.panel.w</width>
    <height>#cw.nlist.count.h</height>
    <align>center</align>
    <font>#cw.nlist.count.f</font>
    <textcolor>#cw.nlist.count.c</textcolor>
    <description>
      The built-in variables "#selectedindex" and "#itemcount" are unset
      or incorrectly set in certain situations.  To avoid bad labelling
      appearing on the panel, we display the values shown below, where
      "(null)" represents the zero-length string, and "n" and "m" are
      integers:
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~
        #selectedindex  #itemcount  label shown
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~
           (null)         (null)    (none)
           (null)           0       0 items
           (null)           1       1 item
           (null)           n       n items
             0            (null)    (none)
             0              0       0 items
             0              1       1 item
             0              n       n items
             n            (null)    Item n
             n              0       Item n
             n              1       Item 1
             n              m       Item n of m
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~
      In addition, when the context menu is on the screen, "#selectedindex"
      is the index of the highlighted item in the context menu, and not the
      index of the item in the list.  So when the context menu is visible
      (language string: 102012), we display the null string or "n items",
      as appropriate.
    </description>
    <label>#(switch(
      and(eq(#currentmodule,L(102012)),eq(#itemcount,'')),
        '',
      eq(#currentmodule,L(102012)),
        string.formatcount(
          #itemcount,'{0} items|{0} item|{0} items'),
      and(eq(#selectedindex,''),eq(#itemcount,'')),
        '',
      and(eq(#selectedindex,'0'),eq(#itemcount,'')),
        '',
      or(eq(#selectedindex,''),eq(#selectedindex,'0')),
        string.formatcount(
          #itemcount,'{0} items|{0} item|{0} items'),
      or(eq(#itemcount,''),eq(#itemcount,'0')),
        'Item #selectedindex',
      eq(1,1),
        'Item #selectedindex of #itemcount'))</label>
  </control>

Note that some of the text constants are hard-coded English, so if you wanted to enable your skins for other languages, you would need to modify those parts of the code.

Is this what you had in mind?

Yes, I deleted the item count display because it does not work correctly like in other screens.
I´ll try to adapt the logic of @CyberSimian (thanks for the nice explanation ) and report back

 

[catavolt]

Well, here we go: I added the logic of @CyberSimian (Big THX again!) to the tv recorded and the tv scheduler screen (avoiding somerone has to ask for it ) and made it language neutral, so only the highlighted itemnumber and the itemcount is shown.
Result see in screenshots below
This will go in the new release of PVHD (will be very soon)

(avoiding somerone has to ask for it )

Really can't see who could ask for it...

 

[catavolt]

We will never see "shares" view in the shortcut, we see shortcut based on last video choose...
And OFC, the one I use most of the time is "shares"...

Sorry for the late reply, just saw your request
Let me first explain some basics: MyVideo plugin consists of two important XMLs:
MyVideo.xml = XML for shares view - window ID 6
MyVideoTitle = XML for database views - window ID 25
The hyperlink I use in the XML mytvhomeServer.xml is 25, so it will always lead to database view (which should be correct for most users).
If you always use shares view, just open mytvhomeServer.xml, and search for <hyperlink>25</hyperlink>.
Replace that entry with <hyperlink>6</hyperlink> and you're done.
Hope it helps

Hope you´ll like it
And of course Happy Easter to all of you

Hello @catavolt,
thank you for your new skinupdate. I noticed that with the new itemcounts the used string id 604 = "Recorded TV" in <define property="true" evaluateNow="true">#recordings:#(L(604))</define> does not fit for Recorded Radio. After reviewing various strings.xml in the "language" folder, it might be better to use #(L(100763) for Recorded Radio here.
