[ViX_Misc] EPG Bouquet intergration concept

[josweet]

Tbh i didnt know where to put this or if i would upset anyone by posting it.. hopefully not.
For a while i have thought it would be useful to be able to access the bouquets easily whilst in the EPG menu but not being a programmer i have no idea on how to even begin to tackle it.
I have knocked up a possible concept of what i mean below to give a better understanding of what im talking about. Basically, using the arrow buttons on your remote you can scroll up to the bouquet lists and move left or right selecting which bouquet you would like to view the EPG listing for.
I maybe alone in thinking this is a good idea, and this thread will surly give me my answer.

id say thats possible i couldnt do it lo!! but i think adding "service numbers" is also a good idea

 

[Larry-G]

it has been looked into but after a few weeks given up on as way too labor intensive.

would be a great thing though it it were to be done.

 

[andyblac]

it is possible, but sorry atm moment i have other things things i need to do first. but if anyone want to try please have ago.

In you're epg settings set show bouquet first to yes....that is the best alternative up to now for showing different categories for quickness.

Oh man, this old request of mine again... I kinda knew somebody else would think I was a good idea though!

I might take a look at it again soon if I get time with poxy work, something I think would really enhance the EPG screen. I remember the code was melting my brain a bit though so not sure how far I'll get!!

yeah, it's been brought up a few times since, pity you never got it finished...

 

[mcquaim]

Work work... I'm hoping to make changes that'll give me more time so hopefully get back to all this sat stuff in a bigger way soon!

 

[josh_g]

i was talking about this a few weeks ago! it would be so nice.... but for now i'm using the Chl +/- trick that i didnt know about till i started the thread!

 

[josweet]

Its good to know i dont stand alone in hoping this could be added at some point & im sure that mcquaim would get all the help he needed if necessary, but as im not a programmer... its easy for me to say.

 

[josh_g]

Agreed i would love it but havnt got any programing skill what so ever we should start a fund and reward who ever does it first!!

While the thought is appreciated it's not necessary, if we do get around to adding such a feature it won't be for monetary gain that's not how we work here.

At present we have a lot of new innovative features in the pipeline and while I can't promise any thing we will always look to see where we can improve, and welcome all new ideas for features.

Fantastic idea. +1 for the genius who can implement it!

Thanks Pheonix.. being relativly new to the open source saterlite scene, i must say that the VIX image is amazing and cant wait to see all these features that will be coming in the future.

a bit off topic but is it posible to mount my pc as a network device as it has a large seprate HD that has loads of movies on it?

yes .

 

[josh_g]

what formats does the VIX media player use or is there a pluging that does all formats?

 

[rossi2000]

on my quad:-

mp3s ok
flac not ok
wav not ok
1080p mkv ok
divx/xvid is iffy dependant on the file.
