Some people like percents in ServiceList
This patch add percents and alignment in service list.
Both parameters are flexible and can be set from ServiceList.py and skin.xml
Also both parameters can be switched from Setup->System->Customize.
Additional for percents can be set colors and font separately from EventDescription

Screenshot from my et9000 after this patch in ChannelSelector


Example using in skin.xml

<widget name="list" position="400,12" size="740,396" zPosition="1" selectionPixmap="hd-line_tvpro/menu/select_m3.png" 
			 scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" 
			 foregroundColorServiceNotAvail="grey_tux2" 
			 serviceItemHeight="36" 
			 serviceNumberFont="Regular;25" 
			 serviceNameFont="Regular;25" 
			 serviceInfoFont="Regular;20"
			 colorServiceDescription="grey" 
			 colorServiceDescriptionSelected="#fefefe"
			 
			 colorEventProgressbar="#ab5400"
			 colorEventProgressbarSelected="#ff7d00"
			 
			 colorEventProgressbarBorderSelected="#ff7d00"
			 colorEventProgressbarBorder="#ff7d00"
			 
			 eventPercentageWidth="55"
			 colorEventPercentage="#ab5400"
			 colorEventPercentageSelected="#ff7d00"
			 eventPercentageFont="Regular;20" />

I'm sorry, but my English is very weak. If anybody will change name variables and options to more right, I'll be glad.

Hi, please restore attached file!

[bigroma]

OK, patch with few updates. Now it work better with unmodified skins.
Screenshots:
1st moded skin



2-4 unmoded skins








Guys, may be you add this patch to OpenPLI? Both features can be disabled by default. This patch tested long time on different STBs and work without problems.

Why do we need %-ages if we have already progressbars...

[bigroma]

Percents likes for many people, I don't propose change progressbars to %-ages, I propose only add. And everyone can choice progressbars or %-ages, or both or nothing.

And I didn't attach file to previous message.

I attach it to this

In many skins HD, progressbar is very small.

It is very necessary alignment in service list.

Very inconveniently when the name of the channel and a program schedule together, are tired eyes

Personally, I think it clutters the view and doesn't add information. I really don't care if a program is at 12% or 19%, the precision of the progress bar is enough for me.
The only way that it would be acceptable is to put the percentage inside the progress bar.

Sjaaky, very need alignment in service list.

The only way that it would be acceptable is to put the percentage inside the progress bar - good idea!

[pieterg]

This topic is not about service list alignment, but about progress percentages.

EDIT: now I see the first post also mentions alignment.
I think alignment / percentages should be in seperate patches.
The alignment option might be easier to get accepted than the percentages.

for what you need know % of program ?! On most channels are not accepted times of begins/ends ...
I see, how next Q will be - why I have 10% in services, when program still does not run ...
Progressbar are more acceptable in this cases...

IMS,

Everyone has different views on the convenient

I am sure to do as an option, let everyone choose for himself

[Dimitrij]

It's optional!
You can just not include it.

[Sirius0103]

I like this idea , wanted to see in PLI project

thanks bigroma

Your right!

[bigroma]

Both feature are optional. Both feature could be disable by default or at any time. Skinmakers could choice use or not additional features.
I made this patch for opendreambox half year ago, three monts ago i adapt it for openPLI, we test it on Ukranian et9000 forum. We didn't find troubles with this patch.

I don't like very difficult skins, but I think skinmaker must have wide choice.

Sorry for my bad English

Percentages are actually a great idea and an excellent feature to boot.
Seeing as this thread is kind of split 50/50 over percentages/progress bars, it's nice to see neither option is forced and you actually have a choice. Use or not use percentages it's all up to you.
I think this should definitely be in OpenPLi, options and all.
Once again, an undoubtedly great feature.

[WanWizard]

The advantage of progress bars is that you can see the status immediately, in a single glance. For procentages, you have to start reading.

I don't see the point, and I would definitely not want to see them...

[hemertje]

i am with WanWizard, dont see the benefit of it or want it added...
