[VU+ Duo] Ideas for future releases.

[Rob van der Does]

A another suggestion for the new build would to be able to sort the recorded list in alpahetical order. I have about 10 pages of recorded stuff and sometimes its difficult to find somthing that I want to watch. It would be great if you could have the choice to sort in Alphabetical order and date order.

You already can do that: Movielist --> Menu --> settings --> order.....

There is a very easy way to do just that: make symlinks in the movie-directory, and you go there in one click.

Sorry what is a 'symlinks' and how do you make one please?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Symlink is the same as a shortcut in Windows. You could use DCC (DreamBox Control Center) to create them.

Hi,

Something like a 1 button zap to a certain directory in the recorded programs window.

have you heard and already used bookmarks?

ciao

how exactly are you annoyed at trials post ? as to me it looks nothing more than a friendly post asking of you have heard of bookmarks. and i can certainly not see any thing there that would be considered as annoying.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it is it possible to have media player close after a recorded programme has been watched. Like when using MPC on PC you can set action to sleep, exit shut down etc. I would love to have similar option on the DUO as at the moment after you have finished watching something it just stays in media player. I would like personally like it to exit back to last channel I was watching.

How about showing wan IP address in network ???

Autotimer editor to OpenWebIf, not sure if this is included to newer OpenWebIf

How about having titles from listings eg. " HD,Sports,Movies, etc. " above EPG like on Sky planner.

as pointed out it's not possible to have two different channels viewed in this way but you can do this by streaming the channel to a networked pc / laptop.

yes you can stream channels and recorded programms through open webif. i am sure there is guides on here m8

you misunderstood me. the OP wanted to have one channel showing via the HDMI port of the receiver and another via the scart or composite connection, This is not possible as all these connection's are open at the same time on the same tuner, I know full well you can stream multiple channels via the web interface ( just one of many options ) but you can not assign different tuners to the HDMI / SCART / composite outputs.

I think a playist creator would be great. I would love to make a playlist of programes i have recorded for my son and let them play

i would like this option too

 

[Rob van der Does]

i would like this option too

Set 'action at end of file' to 'return to list' and 'show live-TV when recording has finished' to 'Yes'.

Hi,

I did not want to annoy anyone. I only asked if bookmarks where already known because they should be used to get a simple selection of favorite directories. If you press PVR two time you get a list of your bookmarks. You can navigate through all your directories and with the menu on a directory you can add it to your bookmarks.

I might be wrong but this is almost what you wanted or isn´t it? Sorry if not I am not native english speaking.

ciao

Just a few ideas on the simple channel view (shown above).

1. This big bar at the top should be much more compact, lot of wasted space
2. This second bar from Eurosport 2 to BoxNation should hold the 'Now' info, with the current 'Now' info then displaying the 'Next' info.
3. The third slim bar to the right of the time could fit in the current programme title imo
4. The fourth bar could squeeze together the coloured buttons, again saving valuable space

If someone could point out where I would find the relevant parts of skin.xml to attempt this myself, I'd be more than happy to give it a try! I just think for a simple view it could fit in a bit more useful info (now and next being an important feature).

 

[Rob van der Does]

Look for the screen with 'name="SimpleChannelSelection" '.
