[Leader]

All done and programmed and compiled working great just how the box should do. going to test the box works on wakeup to record function. if all ok.I will try and get a zip file on here next couple of days.

Find attached file to upgrade to get the Front Panel Icons working when recording.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Is the source available anywhere - and an you get it into the standard Enigma2 codebase (so it will come along with standard updates...)?

Not likely in my opinion, as has been said multiple times these should be fixed in the drivers by the manufacturers not by hacking the image to compensate.

So is there any documentation available for the manufacturers to see what Enigma2 expects of the drivers?

Hehe, manufacturers should be very well aware of the requirements at the very moment they decide to sell E2-compatible boxes.
And apart from knowing; it's easy enough for themselves to test. Which is what they (should) do before any driver release.

I couldn't see the difference between the 1 and >1 recording icons when I started up 1 then another recording.
But it turned out that this was because I already had one running and was actually looking at 2 and 3 recordings! Once I stopped my 2 test ones I could see it.

Looks OK. It honours the setting as to whether display FP icons, which I had to switch on, hence the not-noticing that I already had a recording running when I restarted the GUI. So I've missed a bit of "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue" (rather appropriate ), but can always get it on Saturday should I wish.

you can de-compile the pyo to look at the source.
but im not sure whats been changed atm, or even if this file is from vix image

The file is from an OpenVix image it was off my miracleboxbox running vix 090 image the latest one. I de-compiled the file and added little code then let the box compiled the source code back.

OK. There is one problem I see.
The record icon still stops when it goes into Standby.

So if I get you right here. You want the record icon to display while in standby mode to show it is recording without pressing the power on button on the remote. so the record icon displays with the date and time.

That's what I'd *like*, yes.
However - I can't find the code that sets the clock display on, and have this sneeking suspicion that it's in a totally different mode by then (as the network icon is switched off too - and that is being updated every 30s otherwise).

I hit another issue today - the record icon was on when manually starting up from Deep Standby. That was easy to fix - it can't be recoding anything at his point, so I just put a script at the end of rcS.d to echo 0 into symbol_circle.

Not as far as I am aware, it's all pretty much in Andy Blacks head sadly. but he has said time and time again that things like this should be handled in the drivers, and we have in the past kept to that standard and other manufacturers have indeed corrected their drivers as a result.

This was so easy to program with a little change of code all the recordtimer needed to do was tell the box what it was doing.
