Oneforall's Vu Nuggets #02: Better and Smarter Graphical Multi-EPG

[oneforall]

Mod version:
BetterGraphEPG v0.3[a/b]

Change Log
- Fixed navigation issues from 'Text' EPG to GraphEPG
- Zap (Red) button switched to Info function
- OK button now does the Zap!!
- (Only v0.3b) OK button leads to closing of the GraphEPG window after zapping to the channel!

All Images

Issue / Symptoms:
- Graphical Multi-EPG has unreadable fonts
- Graphical Multi-EPG does not have 'Current Program' highlight functionality like VTI images
- No picons support
- Always need to choose the bouquet before reaching the detailed (Graphical) EPG
- EPG does not feel like $ky EPG; no direct jump to detailed (Graphical) EPG with 'Current Program' highlighted
- OK button does not zap

Solution:
This mod enhances the Graphical Multi-EPG experience on the Vu
- On chossing Graphical Multi-EPG it directly goes to the current program with details
- Has fix for font and highlight

1) Download BetterGraphEPG.zip and unzip to GraphMultiEpg.py and plugin.py on your local drive
2) FTP both the files to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/GraphMultiEPG/. [You might want to backup these two files first]
3) Restart Enigma. [Long press Power Button -> Choose 'Restart Enigma2']
4) Long press EPG button, choose 'Graphical Multi EPG', and you are in!
5) Use Channel +/- buttons to navigate through the Bouquets

[Strong Recommendation: Assign the 'Graphical Multi EPG' plugin to one of the coloured button via QuickButton assignment plugin, to get direct access to EPG rather than 1 step :-)]

Skins Tested on:
- Released for all Skins

Notes:
- Please let me know in case of crashes

Thanks for input so far.
naseer007, leeuk: you might have the dump due to empty Bouquets.
I have fixed the logic of empty Bouquets skip in a better way. Next version follows.

Admins / Mods: May I request edit rights on my posts. :-)
