Assigning functions to PLAY (Video related plugins) & STOP (Start instant recording) produces weird behavior:

 

While watching TV:

PLAY is launching the function

PAUSE is launching the function assigned to PLAY (Timeshift not working)

STOP is launching instant recording

 

While playing back a file in Movie Browser:

PLAY/PAUSE is launching the function assigned

STOP is not working at all

 

As soon as  I removed the PLAY assignment, starting timeshift is working fine, but it is not possible to stop the timeshift with STOP (Start instant recording is launching).

Do PLAY,PAUSE,STOP buttons consider the infobar state (watching TV, timeshift/playback) ?

If the mentioned buttons are invoking the assigned functions without considering the current state then using them (in Hotkey) is worthless IMHO.

Can be done assigning the exit button... But how do you normal exit within the movieplayer or normal infobar..

And it isn't indeed a good idea to modify play/pauze buttons in hotkey...

Stopping the playback with EXIT is obviously working, but it is just a workaround (there is no need to assign anything to EXIT btw.)

So if PLAY,PAUSE and STOP buttons can be assigned to functions which are invoked globally without considering the current state, then keeping them in the list is misleading.

But maybe I`m missing something here and the order of functions which are assigned to the same button do matter ?

If that would be the case the binding STOP to 1. stop playback 2. Start instant recording could be the solution ?

What is also observed: reverted the assignments to PLAY and PAUSE buttons and while being in movie browser pressing PLAY is not starting the playback in the PIG Area but PAUSE is doing it ?

[littlesat]

I just put them in the list because MQB did the same and when I did not put them there I could also get arguments. There are more buttens you can better not assign...

It can also be I do nit understand you right... Without assigning stuff to these buttons nothing is change to them...

Well I hope someone can reproduce the behavior I described above.

Reading for the second time your warning about buttons one should better not assign I get the impression that nothing can/will change ?

[littlesat]

When you assign buttons with hotkey the buttons normal functionality will be overruled... I cannot do anything about this.

[greatred]

But.... assigning FastForward button to HotKey is not overriding the original functionality while being in playback mode ...

Cannot the same be achieved for PLAY,PAUSE,STOP buttons ?

Invention - could be all "bonus" keys on RC made as short/long for Hotkey too ?

F.eg. VMODE, SLEEP, TIMER, PORTAL (XP1000) , CONTEXT, PLAYLIST, RECALL (Formuler F1)

[littlesat]

Except for playlist (I would be carefull for this one) we could indeed consider to make them long/short...

But do we have short on hotkeys???

"Playlist" on F1 is not "KEY_VIDEO" but "KEY_BOOKMARKS". As "KEY_VIDEO" is on  F1 button "FAV", imho.

Please take a look into this.

Did not understand...

 

Hotkey.py:

	(_("Mark/Portal/Playlist"), "mark", ""),
+	(_("Mark/Portal/Playlist"), "mark_long", ""),

keymap.xml:

-	        <key id="KEY_BOOKMARKS" mapto="mark" flags="m"/>
+	        <key id="KEY_BOOKMARKS" mapto="mark" flags="b"/>
+		<key id="KEY_BOOKMARKS" mapto="mark_long" flags="l"/>

and it works well for me.

Modify for F1 and XP1000. I have not next boxes with "bonus" buttons on RC.

Is it possible to assign the PiP-options (PaP, Big-PiP etc) via Hotkey? That could omit the blue-green-zero way.

gettext for name key:

class HotkeySetup(Screen):
	def __init__(self, session, args=None):
		Screen.__init__(self, session)
		self.session = session
		self.setTitle(_("Hotkey Setup"))
		self["key_red"] = Button(_("Exit"))
		self["key_green"] = Button(_("Toggle Extra Keys"))
		self.list = []
		self.hotkeyFunctions = getHotkeyFunctions()
		for x in hotkeys:
-			self.list.append(ChoiceEntryComponent('',((x[0]), x[1])))
+			self.list.append(ChoiceEntryComponent('',(_(x[0]), x[1])))

OK it looks like it is only me who can see a problem, not the first time

So to summarize: PLAY,PAUSE & STOP buttons assignment in HotKey does not make sense to me.

But why FastForward button for instance can perform properly ?

MovePIP and then zero

Indeed, works fine.
Thanks.

Is this really correct?
Or buttons on your remote control is not marked in English?
It is very nice to see them all in their own language, but it does not cause confusion if on control is written one, but in menu something else?
