Bug in EPG screen when adding a recording

[bbbuk]

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

The attached epgselection.py is working for me, as far as setting the epg to go back to the previous screen rather than the current day/time.
I have swapped the 2&8 buttons with CH+/- so that the channel buttons are for going up and down a page in the epg.... and done some cosmetic renaming.
Maybe someone can try it?

Hi Willo3092,

Finally got to test this and I can confirm that it DOES remember the position of the EPG after adding an AutoTimer recording. :-)

Can I just check. Was the only change (to make that part work) the one you mentioned above i.e. The one line at 840?
If so then I must have not made the change myself correctly as when I tried that it did not fix it.

Cheers,
Paul

If it is the only line of code change then annoyingly I tried to make the same line addition in Kiddac's version of the file and it didn't work (boo hiss). The only reason I wanted to try that is because his implementation shows the bouquet you are in at the top of the EPG screen and none of the other versions (default, your's or bbbuk's) show these. I am sure there is a way to know which Bouquet you are currently in (without the need to have the extra "select your Bouquet" screen at the beginning so I am probably missing something there.

My EPG screen (the standard Vix one) has the current bouquet showing at the top left (two different skins checked).

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

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 :-)

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?

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 :-)

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

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
