Show picon in recordings

[sigpark]

it doenst work fully


press ok twice on the recording, no picon
press info watching recording, picon.

I have a Vu+ Solo2, so with my remote and no skin user file for Confluence skin

1. Press OK once on recording asks to play movie, second OK is to start or resume the movie recording
2. When movie playing first OK brings infobar with "recording" info and the picon is fine, second OK brings "EventView" screen with "No Picon Loaded" as in post 3 of this thread
3. When in movie selection (recording) not playing, One press of EPG button brings up EventView screen with "No Picon Loaded", second EPG press brings up IMDB EventView

With the skin_user mod in post 7 loaded, every press combination above I get a picon. I actually downloaded the skin_user from the post 7 just now to validate, installed to folder and selected Confluence skin over You-Vix Blue I was using tonight - all works, so I am baffled!

Perhaps we should wait for @Rossi's next release - he is the author. Thanks

@abu baniaz - could you try second "info" watching recording please?

 

[rossi2000]

all you need to do is put the new simplelivetv panel code into eventview and then change infobareventview panel to eventview.
theres no need for that new panel simplelivetv.

either way, it doenst fully function, with the buttons on my mutant remote. both types of eventview screen are used within movieplayer.

Doesnt work for me either.

Update --- it doesnt work when I press the 'i' button on my ET9000 remote (no picon loaded). however press 'ok' once and it is there on the bar press it again, and it shows up on the screen where the I button shows a no picon loaded .

@Rossi I agree, but the release in Hades 12 contained a change so that "EventView" screen became a screen with a "panel" of "EventViewSimple". I thought to use the same format because the "InfoBarEventView" screen also required the same code as the "EventView" screen, i.e. in the latest Hades 12 release the "InfoBarEventView" screen too used the "EventViewSimple" panel, and there is a need to reference picons differently for Recordings and Live TV, as I am honestly sure you know because of the huge variety of great skins you have created - so apologies....

I believe:
Picon for Recording is <convert type="MovieReference">Reference</convert>
Picon for Live TV is <convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>

and this is the root of the problem I believe. I suspect that when you solve this you will create a "panel" for each of the picon requirements, and remove the picon code from the "EventViewSimple" screen, creating "EventView" and "InfoBarEventView" screens with the EventViewSimple and Picon Panel combi.

Unfortunately I only have a VU+ Solo2 to test on. Thanks and much appreciation again @Rossi

 

[rossi2000]

yes the references are correct, this isnt the problem.

the problem is both types of eventview screens are being used within movie playback.

EventView and EventViewSimple.

ok button twice uses EventViewSimple
Info button uses EventView

Thanks @FlyingPig - see post #3 in this thread - that is the problem you are seeing I think.

@Rossi we agree, and that is why I have tried to make panels to cater for screens of both scenarios. The mods in skin_user work on my Vu+ solo2 - can post the screen shots, but I think you belive they will all contain a picon. Anyway, you are the guru, and so over to you - Sorry

 

[rossi2000]

the vu remote doesnt have an info button does it?

 

[abu baniaz]

@abu baniaz - could you try second "info" watching recording please?

OK twice brings up second info bar. No picon showing.

It is a bit complicated. Info button on Vu units had driver issues which made it point to another button. IIRC

(not tested mods yet)

 

[sigpark]

Nope - all I have is "OK" big round one in the centre, "EPG", "TV" (channel list) and "Menu" (set-up) - most everything works but............... Please don't tell me..................

ok after reading all that's been said since my last post i can confirm on my TM nano2 super if i press ok twice on the recording the picon is in the box like it should be but on pressing info i just get the no picon loaded message

Thanks for everyone's help it isn't an important feature but just one that bugged me a little after reading about it

@jwestwood74 - Apologies for the misleading info, and having you do all the debug. We are all learning, and I am really just a novice, albeit an auld one!

I only have the one box a Vu+ Solo2, and knew nothing of the "Info" button. I modded the screen "EventViewSimple" to reference the Picon from the MovieReference to fix a problem.

Clearly the "Info" button uses this screen, so I broke that feature for you whilst fixing another. Unfortunately I can't see this on my system - just goes to show the work the guys do to make this stuff compatible with boxes for all of us - not just the drivers!

Sorry
