Hi,
Some time ago, the details of searching for TV programmes by title was changed slightly. Personally, I preferred to be able to flick through the alphabet, but obviously a decision was made which I respect.
However, as a result of the change, whenever I enter search, the keyboard pops up with the letter "A" already filled in at the start. This means that if I don't want to search for a programme beginning with "a" (25 times out of 26!) I have to delete this first.
I feel that this dialog box should be empty so that the user can just start typing. It's not a massive problem, but certainly less convenient using a remote. I'm guessing this is a relatively trivial fix.
No log files, as they aren't really relevant (unless the "A" isn't filled in for everyone, in which case please let me know).
I've had a look at the code, and it seems that this is the relevant bit in TVSearch.cs
216 if (control == btnSearchByTitle)
217 {
218 btnShow.Clear();
219 btnEpisode.Clear();
220 filterEpisode = String.Empty;
221 filterShow = String.Empty;
222 currentSearchMode = SearchMode.Title;
223 currentLevel = 0;
224 //currentSearchKind=-1;
225 filterLetter = "A";
226 Update();
227 GUIControl.FocusControl(GetID, btnSearchByTitle.GetID);
228 }
Will changing line 225 to
filterLetter = "";
cause any other problems in this instance? I'm guessing this was put in for a reason. Perhaps gemx could comment, since it looks like he made the original changes.
Thanks for listening.
