Bug in EPG screen when adding a recording

[smipx]

I wished I 'd known that before - I am kicking myself now. I use a All-for-one remote but have run out of buttons a bit (hense my slight obsession with the coloured buttons) :-(
Now --- If I could get the BBC old fashioned TXT button to work that would be awsome but I am guessing that its a hardware driven thing. It's definitely there somewhere in the transmission signal as it works on both Freeview and on freesat - On my TV and on my freesat box I can press TXT and it brings up the BBC text service (you know - the one they were due to stop but have since given a reprieve) and of course having the BBC red button would be just too much to ask.

The wife can't cope with buttons not doing what they say on the label - I would tell her that 2 & 8 are for +24 etc. It would then be totally forgotten a day later. However.... I have a chance with telling her that CH+ and CH- are in fact +24 and -24 :-)

For info - the old teletext/Ceefax are normally carried as MHEG on digital transmissions. MHEG is subject to licence, so is not present on enigma receivers, but is available on Freesat/Freeview licensed receivers and TVs. The TXT button normally pulls up an on-screen keyboard on enigma.

Hi fat-tony re: MHEG - that puts that one to bed then. Thanks for the info. So much to learn - so little time ........

Attached is latest version of epg mod I'm currently using.

It's built to take into account changes for Vix 5.3 018.

You are expected to have some skills with finding and replacing existing files that this mod replaces and how-to do this (eg using FileZilla, etc)

Thanks to those that were involved in it's original creation and those currently keeping this alive/maintained.

Disclaimer:

• Ensure you make a full image back-up first
• Obviously, no official support from vix, myself or anyone else that had input into epg mod
• This doesn't have tabbed EPG as used by kiddac skins
• This isn't maintained by me so no asking "can you add..."
• Use as is and at own risk
• Should still be considered beta as not everything may have been tested

Hi bbbuk, Just an FYI. I also tested Willo's "self.getCurrentCursorLocation = self['list'].getCurrentCursorLocation()" fix in your mod files and am happy to report that it fixes the jumping back on Autotimer set in your mods too :-)

Thanks. Which file and where about does this go and I'll add it

Maybe this guide will help....

Hi ccs. Very helpful. Thanks for that.

Hi Birdman,

You are completely correct. I was using the KiddaC Onyx skin and it was not in there (as of couse that skin has the tabs instead). I have now switched over to a fully supported (and I assume maintained) skin that I downloaded from the plugins section and plan to use that (or one of those) going forward. I am currently using the Blue HD skin and quite like it. In that skin it does indeed show the Bouquet in the top left.

I am sad as I liked onyx but....... Maintenance is everything and KiddaC has moved on to other projects so it may not be as "maintained" as needed. I have succumbed to the pressure :-) I was fighting a losing battle.

On the subject of skins...... Which ones are "fully maintained" and "compliant" with the current and future builds of openVIX? Is it only the ones that are in the plugins download section? What about the Chabs skins for example?

Thanks again,
Paul

On a related query Are these things here because I have a padding set?

If so is it possible to remove them and if so what bit of the code might it be located in?

Cheers

They are shown as part of your main recordings, so records a bit before, then records your main slot and records a bit after, simply to make sure your main recording is preserved.

Hi,

Thought so :-)

Hi,

Its in epgselection.py you need to search for this section and add the line at the end of the section just like this:

This is the epgselection from ViX 5.3.018 with the autotimer fix. Nothing else has been altered.

EpgSelection.pyo

EpgSelection.py

Apologies if this is what has already been achieved above. I'm not a programmer but did my best to try and understand what it was trying to do, grabbed a fresh copy of EpgSelection.py from kiddac's Dropbox extras and and apparently now have both tabbed Slyk Q epg and the jump problem on set recordings resolved.

First I did the above modifications "self.getCurrentCursorLocation = self['list'].getCurrentCursorLocation()"

Then within def onCreate(self) I added the second line to match:
if self.type == EPG_TYPE_GRAPH or self.type == EPG_TYPE_INFOBARGRAPH:
self.getCurrentCursorLocation = None

Within def addAutoTimer(self), def addAutoTimerSilent(self) insert this line after "self.refreshTimer.start(3000)" (2 occurrences)
self.getCurrentCursorLocation = self['list'].getCurrentCursorLocation()

Within def removeTimer(self, timer), def disableTimer(self, timer), def finishedAdd(self, answer) insert this line before self.refreshlist() (3 occurrences)
self.getCurrentCursorLocation = self['list'].getCurrentCursorLocation()

Reboot machine and following this it all seems to work. Obviously I would make a copy of the existing Epgselection.py before changing so you can put it back if it messes up and no guarantees
