[VU+ Duo] Ideas for future releases.

[XRD]

I found that but feel I may be a bit out of my depth lol... will see what I can do

<screen name="SimpleChannelSelection" position="0,0" size="541,720" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">
		<panel name="MenuPanel" />
		<ePixmap pixmap="ViX_Night_HD/menu/ico_menu_tv.png" position="426,10" size="88,88" alphatest="blend" />
		<widget name="list" position="10,107" size="503,533" itemHeight="30" selectionPixmap="ViX_HD_Common/buttons/FocusBar_H30x503.png" foregroundColorEvent="darkgrey" foregroundColorEventSelected="menu-title-frgrnd" foregroundColor="window-fg" backgroundColor="window-bg" transparent="0" enableWrapAround="1" />
		<panel name="MenuRed1Panel" />
		<panel name="MenuGreen1Panel" />
		<panel name="MenuYellow1Panel" />
		<panel name="MenuBlue1Panel" />
	</screen>

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).

1: it would mean having it own screen and brake the uniform look of the skin.
2: IMO would make the list too small
3: the title is the one highlighted why would you want the info repeated ?
4: you have to allow space for our none english language speaking friends, and again point 1.

And to add to that: I think most of those wishes are already in the normal channellist.

i think a more graphical media player would be great.... one that can load front covers from dvd's cd's etc.

That would be great, or if the 'imdb info' function worked on the 'recorded list' and downloaded movie files (avi, dvix, mkv, etc).......so film info was a button touch away! :thumbsup:

OK, a few options in that area:

1- Install the ET-mediacenter from the feeds. Nothing very special, but an overview of all accessible media in one screen;

2- In the recordingslist: select a recording, push info/guide to bring up EventView, than push Menu and choose IMDB

3- Install YTrailer. Not on the feeds (so Google or PM me about it), but very nice: shows the trailer of a selected recording.

4- Install Project Valerie: a real MediaCenter with (automated) cover-art download. But: can be a pain to install and configure.

that is some thing we are looking into but its necessary to have those empty or place holder channels for the bouquet to mirror the sky lineup, this is i believe a enigma thing.

Is this feature still being looked into for for a future release?

there is nothing can be done about it due to the way enigma it self works.

One correction: YTrailer is available via the feeds.

And an addition: you could try AMS (AdvancedMovieSelection, attached): apparently it provides a lot in the area you are looking for.
Be advised: I didn't (yet) test this plugin, so make a backup before using it.

AMS not working, will not install on Duo with latest stable VIX

does it give any specific error messages and if so what are they ?.

something along the lines of 'collected errors - packages found but incompatible with architectures configured'

Also, does anyone know the best/most stable version of project valerie to try? Thanks in advance

Make sure to make a backup before installing PV; that way you can easy and safe return to the present state.
And install it on a free Saturday morning or so: configuring my be problematic.

I googled project valerie and there is a project valerie sight that gives a long list of versions.

I downloaded the newest and it installed ok.

I think it looks pretty good. The only thing that i have found wrong up till now is it has downloaded the wrong covers and title name for alot of the tv programs i recorded.

I have movies on my pc and i have it all setup so i can play the movies through my receiver and it found these without me doing anything which i thought was pretty good

Using the web interface for project valerie should be easy enough to fix your TV series.
It runs on port 8888, I think.

Sorry, not near mine at the moment.
Using your webbrowser go to http:// IP OF BOX :8888
Bring up your TV shows & enter the correct thetvdb, search on:

http://thetvdb.com/

You can also do this through the sync options of PV, I just find it easier to use the web interface.

I have synced it through pv and it is either nameing the files wongly and the wrong covers to go with it and it has put all the tv programs under movies apart from 2 in the tv section.

Is it webif that i am trying to open in the web browser?

Hi,

AMS should work but in the control file is a Dreambox set as architecture. If you expand the ipk with 7zip and copy the content by hand to your box it should be there after restarting the GUI.
