EPG - no detailed descriptions

[doglover]

Further to this problem, i found out a bit more details.

The EPG details are put in the screen with the "EventView" screen.
In this screen the details are given with the variable: <widget name="epg_description"

Now this has to be filled by enigma. It seems that this variable is filled with either the short description or when no short description exists the long description is used.

See the attached screen shots.

The variable "epg_description" has to be filled with both the short and long description. Be carefull I have seen these called: description, ExtentendDescription, FullDescription, DescriptionFull, DescriptionExtended and a few other terms.

The Eventview window is also used in the MovieSelection. Here also the the epg_description variable is not properly filled.

it should be the other way around.
This "epg_description" has been established just for that purpose.

Anyway, something is wrong here.

Sorry: what is wrong where?

How many times do I have to repeat myself. The epg descriptions are missing when a subtitle is used in the epg. Then the subtitle or short decription is only given in the EventView window.

Rob, when are are going to read the previous posts in this thread?

And for when is a solution?
How many times do I have to post this before action is taken?

No need to repeat anything: just re-read the statement I made about this being solved in the next update..........

LoL You know the answer to that, don't you?

It has been announced that VU-updates will be hold back until after the ET-2.3 release. And since that was last night.........

 

[andyblac]

the update already up , did you not read the post i made ?

The ViX feeds will be down whilst we update them

 

[doglover]

Andy,

i read that, but did not realize this was the VU+ Duo image feed. Will test it now.

Looks like the problem has been solved.
At least a quick check on two channels, with epg which had previous problems, showed the info correctely now.
