Some ideas to improve the Graphical EPG screen

[matt007]

The colour buttons can be programmed and labelled in the EpgSelection.py file. If you want the buttons to be different for just the graphical EPG and remain same for other EPGs then just add an If statement to check if self.type ==EPG_TYPE_GRAPH and add the new button mapping code within that statement (linking each button action to the relevant method). If you need more help then just give me a shout.

If I am home this weekend then I will share my code/file for everyone to use. I have managed to make the following changes:

Red button: popup with extra options such as IMDb serch, EPG serch, add timer/auto timer
Green button: shows recordings (movie list)
Green button long press: shows timer list
Yellow button: -24hrs
Blue button: +24hrs
Ch+: page up
Ch-: page down.

can you show a screenshot of the red button function?

I just took this screenshot right now showing the red button being pressed on the first event on BBC One

Edit: I had to add a new element to your skin by the way so it was not just modifying the .py file

You cannot select a chanenl using numbers from EPG, this is why numbers were not catered for in the EPG screens as far as I can work out...

I didn't want to select a channel from EPG just display the channel number before the channel name. Like matt007 has done (below).

Thanks for this matt007. I want channel number before channel name like that. Could you maybe upload the .pyo file(s) you've modified for these features and I shall implement it.

Thanks again.
