Some ideas to improve the Graphical EPG screen

[birdman]

So what you're saying is, for two closely related features (which have already been tested by multiple users) to be merged into a testing branch (Dev), it needs to be split into several commits (which it is within my own fork) so that they can be tested(???).

As far as I can see they are only related in that they both affect the EPG. Beyond that they are two separate extensions to functionality.
So splitting them into two sets of changes would make sense in that it allows one to be added while the other is rejected.

Guys been watching this thread for some time and I wanna bring our attention back to the original suggestion.

I mainly use the hdmi cec funtionality to control from my TV remote as this is part of vix otherwise this option wouldnt be there to enable and forces us to use the box remote etc only.

Heres the issue i have in the G-EPG you cant access the bouquets or even change to a differant bouquet as you dont have those extra SPECIAL buttons, also no way to access the recordings from anywhere within vix unless again you a special button dedicated to that job.

Plus is the IMDB red button actually any better than the information supplied within the epg data its not much use for tv shows is it, and heres another thing about IMDB its not anywhere to be seen in the movielist/recordings as you have the red button for the delete green for move yellow for location and blue to sort by etc.also go and watch something you have recorded earlier lets say a movie etc if i press the RED button it brings up the epg selection.

Dont say go and buy a harmony remote as i want to use the HDMI-CEC functionality instead.

As for showing numbers or referencing them to a main bouquet I have to say i have really no need for this as i find changing bouquets just as easy, think the only time ive used channel numbers directly is zapping to a channel etc like sky new 501 etc.
I can see it being usefull for sky uk etc like what I have but i can understand if you have a motorized dish than it could become quite confusing.

You mean you're using the TV's R/C (via HDMI-CEC) to control the STB? Then you will indeed miss a lot of buttons.
IMHO you should do it the other way around: control the TV via the STB's R/C. After all, for controlling the TV when using an STB as source, you'll only need the TV to go 'on' and to the correct input (and maybe the volume & mute as well).

Yes thats exactly what i mean controlling the stb with the TV's R/C , yes you can control the TV via the STB's R/C but only if its a univeral type like with a VU remote etc but I would say most STB's you can buy now are not the universal type ie control STB and TV.

No, I meant HDMI-CEC the other way around; let the STB control the TV via HDMI-CEC.

"Killercow 20151022 GraphEPG Numbers" were working fine with 3.2.021, but since 3.2.023 it crashes in a bootloop when loading GUI. Anyone else having this?

The relevant bit from the logs is:

KeyError: 'timer_sanity_check_enabled'

which was added in 023. Something to do with using a remote receiver, IIRC.

Had a quick look. Use the attached file in replace of existing one in "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/".

Let me know if it sorts it

 

[outrage_uk]

Thanks, but there is no "UsageConfig.py" in "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/" so the problem will be the same.

There isn't, but if you put it there and restart the GUI you will find that a new UsageConfig.pyo (the compiled version) is built from it and used.

Hey Guys

Been looking at the entire 350 posts to possibly implement matts code into my new skin and have noticed that theirs different mods and improvements by many contributers namely Matt007, BBUK,Ketmp , darkdreamingdan , KIllerCow and others.

Is there a all in one download now to implement these changes as you have to trawl though the thread trying to work out what to implement or not.

For example below.

darkdreamingdan post 307 for the modified work from matt007 and bbuk for adding the options menu , green for recordings also adding search by channel in the epg.

Then we have
KIllerCow post 310 for seeing the channel numbers in Epg Guide and referencing them to the main bouquet for example 101 in the All Channels Bouquet is matched with the same channel in the entertainment bouquet.

Previously in post Post 285 and 288 by Ketmp

He came up with the mod to change what the colored buttons do in the Epg Graph such as red for Imdb, Bouquet List, Show Movies, +24 Hours etc same with the other colored keys.

I think Ketmp's mod would work great with the above but not sure if his mod uses the options menu like in matt007's code .

Can someone add to the above and let us know if the mods have been merged.

Would be grateful.

I agree, just read this entire thread and am totally confused. Does killercows components just bring in the numbers, or do they also include matt007 and bbuk, epg tabs and button changes. As there is no PY files provided from killercow there is no way for me to check this or combine the 2. I am also presume if I install killercows files its going to overwrite matts files. So reading between the lines its one or the other at the moment. Is that correct.

Thanks for your help twol, all working again.
Now I just need to figure out what has changed in the EPGselection.py that is causing my custom file to crash the epg in 015

What skin are you using? Theres been some changes I have updated EPGselection.py to work with tabs on slyk1080r19_2.04_20181117 If your using an older skin then delete this section in the epgselection.py https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/...ded#diff-408709214d51e87e6c4bc90116c358edL461

I use YouVIX-Blue

I modded mine, so that CH+ & CH- paged up and down. Green to recordings, yellow -24 hours and blue +24 hours.
Problem is I did it so long ago, I can’t remember how I did it??
I can’t even get the file to display properly in Notepad ++, its all characters and symbols.
At least now I’ve got multiboot working correctly I can mess around and still have a good image to fall back on.

That sounds as though you're looking at the EpgList.pyo file?
You should have a EpgList.py one.

If not, post the EpgList.pyo file and I'll try to work out the diffs for you.

Try this Epgselection.py it has code for tabs too but it shouldn't matter.

Thank you dsayers, that is exactly what I wanted. Should be in vix by default.

I agree with changing functions of buttons but not so much for record and series link. Maybe vix can add the code that ATV has to change functions of colours buttons but also add options for ch+ and ch-

 

[abu baniaz]

The options ought to be added to button setup/hotkey

This has been talked about for a very long time and a very popular addition but ultimately without success when having Vix adopt this.

ATV did commit the pull requests I did for first half of epg mod. I then got side tracked and forgot about remainder.
