quite big difficulty with changing day in EPG view (1 Viewer)

[maysider2]

please, make buttons "skip" and "replay" (or any better solution) to change day in EPG.....it is very complicated to change day

thank you

Looking at the code, it looks as if this is what you want?
This is not tested at all and can all kinds of side-effects, maybe I will test when I get time - but getting the change into MP may be difficult at the present time
It's in the file TVGuideBase.cs (OnAction()) in TVplugin (TV3) - if you compile your own.
case Action.ActionType.ACTION_NEXT_CHAPTER:
OnNextDay();
break;

case Action.ActionType.ACTION_PREV_CHAPTER:
OnPreviousDay();
break;

I totally agree with you on the changing days - and I haven't found a way to trigger these routines yet. The code seems to be there already. (OnNextDay(), OnPreviousDay() I mean)

I am not a portal developer, so lets see if we get lucky

I will test this code change later today.

The code change provided by johnlc plus setting the actions for remote control in MediaPortal Configuration to prev/next chapter, gives the desired result (see screenshot for specific instructions).

Thanks for your work johnlc, and the idea maysider2.

Edit: Code changes, and binary attached (confirmed working).
Edit2: Patch for old tv engine attached (untested).

 

[johnlc]

Yes this change works nicely

This is a great idea. I have thought about how to do this myself a lot of times, but I never seem to be near a computer to be able to post on the forum when it happens.

Seidelin, how do I apply this code change? Just copy the files in your Zip into MP directory or what?

 

[johnlc]

Seidelin,
is there a special version of TextTv in your TVplugin ?
It preloads the pages much faster than I am used to.

Besides we forgot to implement the prev/next-day keys in the miniguide (the one through Info button)

You replace the TVplugin.dll in your MP/plugins/Windows directory. But please make a backup of current tvplugin.dll in a DIFFERENT directory first, if you should encounter version problems. The other files contains the modified source code.

Has anybody thought about a possibility to change the tv group? I think this is also important.
