[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1096545, member: 141969"] I have come across a case where the panel flow is not what I would expect. However, as a newcomer, I cannot tell whether this is determined by MP, or whether it is controlled by the skin. Below I describe three slightly different test cases, the first two of which work as I would expect, but the third does not. [b]Preliminaries[/b] (1) Start "MP Config", go to the "TV settings" panel, and change the settings for "When entering the TV screen" as follows: (a) Select "Turn on TV". (b) Deselect "Directly show full-screen TV". Save the changes and start MP. (2) There are two panels that might be called the "TV menu". I am going to use that name to mean the panel that has "TV Streams" as the top-most selection in the left side bar. [b]Case 1[/b] (1) On the "Home" panel, select "TV". [The "TV menu" appears.] (2) On the "TV menu" panel, select the TV screen. [Live TV is displayed full screen.] (3) On full-screen TV, press the "Stop" button on the remote control. [The "TV menu" is displayed.] This case behaves as I would expect. [b]Case 2[/b] (1) On the "Home" panel, select "TV". [The "TV menu" appears.] (2) On the "TV menu" panel, select the TV screen. [Live TV is displayed full screen.] (3) On full-screen TV, press the "Guide" button on the remote control. [The "EPG" panel is displayed.] (4) On the "EPG" panel, press the "Exit" button on the remote control. [Full-screen TV is displayed.] (5) On full-screen TV, press the "Stop" button on the remote control. [The "TV menu" is displayed.] This case also behaves as I would expect. [b]Case 3[/b] (1) On the "Home" panel, select "TV". [The "TV menu" appears.] (2) On the "TV menu" panel, select the TV screen. [Live TV is displayed full screen.] (3) On full-screen TV, press the "Guide" button on the remote control. [The "EPG" panel is displayed.] (4) On the "EPG" panel, press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the focus to the previous or next channel, and then press the "OK" button on the remote control. [The new channel is displayed full screen.] (5) On full-screen TV, press the "Stop" button on the remote control. [The "EPG" panel is displayed.] [i]This is unexpected; I would expect the "TV menu" to be displayed.[/i] (6) On the "EPG" panel, press the "Exit" button on the remote control. [The "EPG" panel is displayed for a second time.] [i]Two consecutive displays of the "EPG" panel seem like an error.[/i] (7) On the "EPG" panel, press the "Exit" button for a second time. [The "Home" panel is displayed.] [i]This seems like another error; I would expect the "TV menu" to be displayed before reaching the "Home" panel.[/i] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
