tvplugin - rec.TV fullscreen changes. (1 Viewer)

[gibman]

Hi all !

As of the latest SVN (16576) I have changed the fullscreen handler for fullscreen recorded TV.
Mentioning the benefits on the public changelog was a bit too much.

Previously the recorded TV fullscreen handler was handles by the myvideos fullscreen handler (from MP main).

Now that I have Replaced rec. TV fullscreen handler with live TV fullscreen from tvplugin we get the following benefits;

1) showing miniOSD now renders the channel logo (if any) along with the channel name (these were missing before).
Also the miniOSD looks 100% identical with the one from live TV.

2) The context menu has many similarities with the context menu of live TV (F9).
u can watch tvguide (in here u can even change channel or schedule stuff), change audio, change AR etc.

3) If u hit "enter" u will se the mini channel list, as in live TV - making it possible to change the channel, even when watching a recording.

4) while watching a recording, u can go to any channel by the usual means like pressing "0" for last channel, or hitting a number like 1 for channel 1, or hitting channel up/down etc. just like u were in live TV.

So in short, rec. tv and live tv are a lot more alike now than before.

Thanks, Gibman.

It does seem to be more intuitive to have the same "engine" for this.

Does this mean that recorded tv playback also uses TV Codec/de-interlace settings?

Nice work Gibman, You the man!

I just install the latest svn, but I can not see any difference to the "old" Fullscreen handler.

I use the tvserver and the TVPlugin. Is the new Handler only for the old Mediaportal without
the tvserver?

I'm not seing changes too with a single seat TV server setup.

Remote mappings for TVFullscreen are not active when playing recorded TV it seems.
