So why no integrate this improved multiepg code into pli and abandon the old code? Or is there somewhere a incompatibily what has to be resolved ?!

I have to rearrange, and group together 90 or so changes so this is will take sometime.

I already merged a few of them in (with little changes. For now I did not like the right alignment of the channel name as it cuts off the front part of the name if it is a long channelname...)

@awk - some notes:
- for GraphMultiEPGSearch is needed make in .py screen for SD standard skin, there could not be HD skin (and PLi-HD) as default
- I dont know why, but GraphMultiEPGSearch screen dont accept screen from skin /user_skin
- Search -> Similar -> when is "No results" - press yellow again => crash

Hi awx,
can you consider in the future releases to add "add autotimer" button, I've found it very handy under vix image.
Thanks

I have one questions - why some people want adding still autotimer permanently into EPG, GraphMultiEPG etc ... It must know make plugin itself. Then is there on more chance add different plugin by user.

[mbo]

because some people find it handy to have, same thing as search for example. Anyway, it is only proposition, if the autor does not like it, it will be respected.
No harm done.
Cheers

Yes, you wrote "some people"... => this feature must to have wanted plugin (autotimer), not GMEPG (as permanently). There In GMEPG must be possibility for it only. Same for IMDb ... imho

my 5 ¢ (general):
maybe I'm a little bit old school (and probably in minority here ) but I prefer simple/clear/minimalistic/?/ solutions instead of another 'onehundredsettingsoptionsetc' christmas tree like cooltv guide (especially in plugin which is installed by default in the image)...

so, please, if possible, to try to not overload this plugin with too much 'fireworks' and keep it quite simple and clear...
and thanks for your great job of course

@awx: can you explain the reason for your patch 0090: "-Add a progressbar so we dont need to lookup event id just to generate this"

On my box I added this to the skin to get a nice progress bar for the event the cursor is on:

<widget source="Event" render="Progress" pixmap="PLi-HD/infobar/pbar.png" position="520,135" size="740,8" transparent="1" borderWidth="2" borderColor="#33333a">
<convert type="EventTime">Progress</convert>
</widget>

What does add auto timer do? I can look into it but I am not sure what this does

<convert type="EventTime">Progress</convert>
</widget>

My progress bar generates a progress bar with the information we already have available, the progress bar that is generated using the renderer uses the event id and then does a lookup from epgcache and when you are browsing around the grid this creates extra work for the box when it is not needed (potential performance gain, although unlikely noticeable unless you have a lot of event data on the box)

Thanks for the response awx
under vix it works like this:
if you are on the timeline display and you want to record a series that have a new episode say mon. to friday starting at 1am, you just highlite the monday episode and choose the "autotimer" button. It will create automatically the autotimer with all the required settings (tittle, timespan etc). In the end all the
episodes with this tittle screaning everyday between say 00.00 and 03.00 will be recorded. Sure it is not "must have" feature as it can be done manually, it is just handy. VIX implemented that "autotimer" button under the search resoults as well. So if you find it worthy to add sometime in the future, it would be nice

And thanks for the great plugin you are creating.

Regards.

@awx, I do have genuine DM8000 and if you need to do some testing on this box (not exactly on audiotimer!) feel free to request the test.
Thanks

I agree with you, and will do my best to make sure we don't overload the plugin and keep it as simple as possible
